Martha's Vineyard!

genuinely feel insane

A MAGA supporter drove a car into a crowd, and another brandished a taser at peaceful protesters during a Tesla protest—both individuals are now facing charges. In response, we are launching our own investigative team to support local law enforcement.

Empathy is important right now. I'm not going to point and laugh at the MAGAs who are hurting. They're losing the same things everyone else is. It's the brats, I mean voters, who chose to sit the election out that I'm disgusted with.

They're going to kill Libby and all your other library book reading apps, programs funded by Congress which the administration (and certainly not Elon or his teen Nazi psychopath goons) has no power to shut down. Maybe a day to call all your reps again and to demand action

Im busy knitting my way through the fall of democracy

@hcrichardson.bsky.social did a chat on Facebook where she reported Musk is stopping federal payments and tweeting about it. This is a must watch. www.facebook.com/share/v/1Ekw...

ICE is on Martha's Vineyard. At least word spread like wildfire and our immigrant community is in hiding. Many did not show up for work today. I have no doubt that Desantis' stunt, the island will be targeted hard.

Trump has gagged the CDC, but not me. So I'm sharing this. www.cjonline.com/story/news/p...

Fasten your seatbelt ladies and gentleman it’s going to be a bumpy ride.

To mark "Trump will declare a national emergency for mass deportations" day: here is the initial spreadsheet of our crowd-sourced *local* immigration advocacy/support organizations. Please share widely, put to good use, and keep letting me know about more organizations folks can connect with.

A local friend writes some good stuff. She's good at seeing through the bullshit and getting to the core.

Happy Yule!

What I find most interesting about all this is that trans women have been using women's restrooms in the Capitol and the House and Senate office buildings and the White House and the Pentagon for many years now, including during all four years of the Trump Administration.

Appearing on a Christian nationalist podcast last night, Pete Hegseth said he's creating a system of "classical Christian schools" to provide recruits for an underground army that will eventually launch an "educational insurgency" across the nation. www.peoplefor.org/rightwingwat...

Reminded again today that the president elect is a convicted felon.
