Ok, I'm doing a version of this thread for 🧪 who are new to political conditions where info security is a safety issue: 1. Don't make public lists of people who are engaging in acts of resistance 2. Be weary of calls to advertise acts of subversion 3. Don't live post resistance meetings

For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 1%, it can collect $13. For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 0.1%, it can collect $26. Laying off 7,000 IRS employees (during tax season) isn't about efficiency. It's about making it easier for the rich to evade taxes.

In 1854, Graham insisted on her right to ride on an available New York City streetcar at a time when all such companies were private and most operated segregated cars. Her case was decided in her favor in 1855 …led to the eventual desegregation of all New York City transit systems by 1865. #BHM

I had, as it turns out, a voluminous quantity of words to say about the National Endowment for the Arts demanding fealty to Trump in their new grant guidelines (with side tangents into Robert Mapplethorpe, the Eight of Swords in tarot, compliance and resistance, and why budgets are moral documents)

(1/4) Recent layoffs of federal workers has a disproportionate impact on Native Americans, but is receiving almost no media attention. In Indian Health Services, which provides healthcare to 2.8 mil NAs, 2,200 people were laid off, including 1,400 who provide direct patient care.

“Good day, sir. I’d heard you’d recently come into possession of some bread. I see that I was not misinformed. As it so happens, I too enjoy baked goods. Might you be persuaded to part with a small percentage? I would of course offer fair compensation at the current market rate.”

Over the weekend, 2 law professors published a terrible oped on birthright citizenship in the NYT which is being widely read, disseminated. They didn't do the required historical research & never even mention Reconstruction or the legislative intent. I did. Birthright citz is black letter law. 👇

Don't do this administration's work for them by coming up with justifying and rationalizing arguments for institutions and organizations to cooperate. This includes the justifications for why the Democratic party has to "find common ground." If you even start to think this, slap yourself.

As DOGE began infiltrating government agencies and targeting federal staff for termination, I started interviewing tech workers on the front lines. With the mass layoffs unfolding today, and with their permission, I'm sharing their stories. This is what it's been like to endure Musk's campaign.

A real life St. Paul love story follows the tropes of many books you may pick up in a romance store — “friends to lovers,” “only one bed” and “mutual pining.” And for Lily Tschudi-Campbell and Cassidy Foust, one thing stayed constant through a decades-long connection: the Red Balloon Bookshop.

If you understand that apartheid was an economic system first, and a brutally violent system of social segregation second, you'll understand how Elon Musk is trying to update the principles from his homeland, and bring about a neo-apartheid system in the US. My latest in @thenation.com

I've met with many cabinet nominees across many admins, and my meeting with RFK Jr. was by far the most troubling. He rattled off debunked conspiracy theories & lied to my face—denying his own statements he'd made on record. We cannot confirm an anti-vaxxer as Secretary of Health.

Good folx: we are a small but mighty and edgy justice-focused nonprofit in Trump/Musk/Vought's America... and our funding has been pulled. We still need your help today. I would love to get 10 donations of any size from Bluesky. Can you donate and/or amplify? We want to keep fighting the good fight!

New — The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) was told this week by DOJ that they'd lose their funding if the org didn't remove any mentions of LGBTQIA+ issues from their public materials, I've learned. Staff were told they need to deadname trans kids in their reports to comply.

I'm only going to say this one time. Protesting in these times needs to be deliberate around safety & risk. We need to be cautious about "spontaneous" actions that have no discernible leadership or planning. "Just show up" as a directive should be a HUGE RED FLAG.

The kind of racism Trump & his ilk espouse is old-fashioned, even as it’s dressed up in modern DEI discourse. They get close to saying it outright but haven’t yet—but make no mistake, they sincerely believe white people are biologically & intellectually superior to nonwhite people.

I told my step pop someone hit me. When he asked if I hit them back, I replied that fighting in school was not allowed. That’s when he gave me this gem : When someone hits you, you’re already in a fight, you’re just losing. It’s cool to want peace but sometimes you gotta fight for it.

Here’s the thing about fascism: it’s actually a spiritual project. That’s why when you say “migration is great for the economy”, fascists don’t care. They think “well, the idea of racial purity is more appealing to my soul than a strong economy, so screw the economy”. That was Hitler’s argument.
