It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

People on TikTok are reporting ICE raids happening in small cities in various states. To get past algorithmic censorship, they’re writing down the information on paper and holding up and shuffling through the handwritten signs as they talk about pretend subjects like shopping, food, and animals.

I’m hearing from constituents whose jobs are at risk because they do agency outreach to minority communities. Consider what this means for public health, national security, agriculture and justice. The war on DEI has become a war on public service and government for all.

There's a strange idea among moderates that radicals take far left positions for the vibes, or to posture, or just because they're radical position. We take these stances because we want a livable planet, we want people to have good lives, and because in many cases they're winning positions.

A reminder that it's not enough to "love" public libraries. You have to actually contribute to sustaining and helping to transform the institution. One way is to take the step to run for or seek appointment to your local library board: www.librariesforthepeople.org - other suggestions here too.

Some #CivMilSky thoughts on this move as well intention to use the military domestically: 1. In Trump#1 the military eventually resisted domestic military use (DMU). This time purges will cause those who oppose to exit/be ejected. 2. This EO will be the military equivalent of schedule F. 1/

If you’ve been on Bluesky for a while and have a sense that this is a small community where you can say anything without blowback from fascists, be aware that the recent exodus from Twitter has put a new spotlight here. I know most people don’t care, but it’s good to be reminded this is all public.

"Imagine a future in which Donald Trump gets to choose which non-profits are allowed to exist and any non-profit he, or JD Vance, doesn't like can be labelled a terrorist org and stripped of its tax exempt status." That's what we need to stop today.

I think I need a new pair of glasses. Either that, or I need to rest my eyes for today. I've misread "Christian nationalists" as "Chinese nationalists" thrice already, and the sudden image of Sun Yat-sen pops up in my head like a vine boom meme every time. God help me from Kuomintang brainrot.

So, the people who screamed "Fuck your feelings!" at us and called us libtards for almost ten years are now wondering why their cries of "The election is over. We all need to come together, now!" are being met with derision and excommunication. They don't want community, they want compliance.

A gentle reminder that if we miss the 1.5°C target (and we certainly will), the next target is 1.51°C and not 2°C. We need to keep fighting. Every tonne of CO₂ emitted makes the job of future CO₂ removal harder, and every 0.01°C of temperature increase makes the world more chaotic and dangerous.
