When people talk about the "descent into fascism" there's a passive voice that misses that with every prison built, every budget dollar to police, every bomb paid for and dropped on Gaza, every student sanctioned for protest, every deportation, every border patrol, we laid the bricks one by one.

🙄 my fellow Americans need to stop fantasizing about placing themselves in some noble revolutionary narrative, and learn from the centuries of resistance against US oppression that BIPOC communties have been leading (1)

One of the most helpful, solid, hyperbole-free, dismissive-free, comforting things I’ve consumed about the last few weeks. @fivefourpod.bsky.social open.spotify.com/episode/6NoN...

Rn this is 100% bluster but if we don't stay vigilant it will be a matter of time until aiding migrants w education is codified as a crime and the constitution will be well and truly dust

A plurality of Democrats are getting bad information about what their party has been doing. It can't shift much more to the right without becoming indistinguishable from old-school Republicans. I don't think that's actually what this 45% wants

Folks are shocked that their institutions, after professing commitments to climate justice and DEI, are now caving to Trump and scrubbing all references. It's brutal. And it's the smallest taste of what our students felt when their universities called in the cops b/c they protested a genocide.

I've been radicalized by @yrfatfriend.bsky.social and I am furious that attendees to the event I am planning are requesting that the meals be "seed oil free" (not an allergy, just a health trend) Tonight I will eat beignets fried in peanut oil in spite

I would also accept a personal apology from them

Now more than ever.

They have been publishing articles like this for two decades: "Gee willikers, what Republicans do with power doesn't match their rhetoric at all!" www.nytimes.com/2025/02/07/u...

THIS IS HOW WE DO IT

Wow, they did it. There were some flaws in the 50/50/1 organizing, but they did turn people out in every state on very short notice, and that's nothing to sniff at.

Don't really have words for how crazy it is that our elected representatives are literally out in the cold

Will you join us, Ohio? 🚨VIOLENCE OF ANY KIND WILL NOT BE TOLERATED🚨

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

Was this before or after he put his hands on peaceful climate protesters demanding a new chair that doesn't have prof ties to the fossil fuel industry?

The #DNC chair would apparently rather manhandle a school teacher than stand up for the future of students everywhere

You’re not going to get your creative project off the ground if you’re afraid of being seen as cringe by friends and strangers. Cringe is unavoidable, just do the thing you want to do

In Ireland we don’t say that a person tries to speak Irish. Instead they have ‘the cúpla focal’* Here’s a glossary of LGBTQ terms just for you!

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too. Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more. Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.
