Here are some concrete, low-level things you can do to pursue democracy right now. 1. If you can, join a union. 2. Contribute to a political cause you support. 3. Contact an elected official. If you're an introvert, call after hours and leave a message.

Exactly!

@cherijacobus.bsky.social is right! “Democrats must launch a centralized, credible, user-friendly, functional, legible media-savvy, forward-looking daily response—and do it, like, yesterday.” www.damemagazine.com/2025/02/21/d...

@forcecenterpod.bsky.social are my favorite resistance fighters! @jenniferlanda.bsky.social @kennapzok.bsky.social @josephscrimshaw.bsky.social #starwars was always political! Allegory accepted, Captain Needa! 😉

I just hope Amazon puts the focus back on classic James Bond storytelling elements. Like the long history of villains that are grossly wealthy, insecure egomaniacs desperate to validate their fragile egos with wild schemes to control the media, governments, and space itself.

The timing is because they will begin deleting books soon. The "wrong" ones.

A fundamental story of the last decade is that a lot of basically incompetent people got fed up by competent people telling them they were wrong, constructed a more welcoming alternative ecosystem of competency cosplayers, and then somehow turned the whole government over to them.

Democratic Shadow cabinet @democrats.org @texasdemocrats.bsky.social @ellisdemocratstx.bsky.social

@afowles.bsky.social this is much like what you have been saying and must be done by @democrats.org and @texasdemocrats.bsky.social and across the U.S.

Got my copy - nice write up! Great to see your team getting coverage in the popular press. www.mdpi.com/2076-3263/14...

@wileynickel.com shadow cabinet needs leadership from @democrats.org ! 🧢

So a shadow cabinet today would, instead of talking about what Republicans have said, instead talk about what would have been necessary to prevent this tragedy from happening using facts and data. #shadowcabinet

A week ago, Trump fired every member of the Aviation Safety Committee. Stephanie Bernstein, now former member of the committee: “I naively thought, ‘oh they’re not going to do anything in the new administration to put aviation security at risk.’ But I’m not so sure.”

@wileynickel.com has the right idea: shadow cabinet - vocal, loud opposition, ready to speak out!

Did you know that Lucasfilm’s Double Victory is streaming for free on YouTube? Always a worthwhile watch. youtu.be/QmcpILi1Rxc?...

Pin this, save it, we’ll need it. “When a prison camp opens in your town…when a DREAMer is disappeared from your classroom…when the President destroys what’s left of the Constitution…They will all say they didn’t know this was coming. And I want the American people to know that they did.” AOC 🔥🎯

Want an example of powerful, moral rhetoric about inauguration? Speaking truth to power in the most literal way? I give you Right Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde, Episcopal bishop of DC, at the National Cathedral prayer ceremonies today. Note the classiness ( /s) of reaction from Trumps and Vances.

House Republicans don’t have the votes to raise the debt ceiling without Democrats. So they’re trying to use California as a punching bag in a time of emergency and tragedy. It’s unconscionable. https://buff.ly/4h0PFPG

Thank you @forcecenterpod.bsky.social for helping me take down my Christmas lights while listening to the uncommonly good (and a bit emotional 😢) deep dive into the wonderful #SkeletonCrew finale! Thank you, @jenniferlanda.bsky.social, @kennapzok.bsky.social & @josephscrimshaw.bsky.social

This morning I saw a picture on Facebook of the Hollywood Sign burning. Thousands of likes, comments, and shares thinking it was true. The mid-life crisis billionaires claim they want to encourage a variety of opinions. The Hollywood Sign is on fire isn't an opinion. It's a lie and that's the point.

so if I'm understanding the tech-bro position correctly, it's this
