“In the name of rooting out #corruption and supposed bias, #fascist #politicians attack and diminish the institutions that might otherwise check their power.” - Jason Stanley “How Fascism Works” #booksky

Quick reminder: The last group of folks that said “the enemy within” were the German Nazi’s. When you hear Trump, Vance, Hegseth and others use this line, remember. They are using the “us v them” tactics from the Nazi playbook. Just in case the sieg heils from their party members isn’t enough…

“I would rather be a man of conviction than a man of conformity.” - #MLK Jr. “Where Do We Go From Here” #booksky #civilrights

#NorthCarolina #SupremeCourt Update: - Incumbent Justice Allison Riggs gained more votes after a recount. (Congratulations!) - Wannabe candidate Republican Jefferson Griffin, still a sore loser, still denies election results. #DEI is not an actual problem, but #Republican #ElectionDeniers are.

Please stop comparing Elon Musk and Donald Trump to #disabled people.

It’s not a question of “if.” It’s “when.” #Disability comes for everyone, at one point or another. Be it temporary or chronic - everyone will feel it at some point, and to varying degrees.

#DumpTrump 11-Year-Old Texas Girl Bullied Over Family's Immigration Status Takes Her Own Life This is #TrumpsAmerica. WE MUST FIGHT. We must fight for all of the Jocelynn Rojo Carranza’s. She is all of us. We are her. 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹 www.latintimes.com/11-year-old-...

GIVE ME SLOGANS! This is a failure to launch and the public keeps saying it - but the #Democrat leaders are not grasping the concept. “Traitor Trump” “Dump the Trump” “Feed America” “Make America Prosperous Again” “Healthcare is a human right” “Keep Kids Safe/Alive” THIS IS A CALL TO ACTION.

1/10 MAGA Republicans love to shout "Democrats run the worst states!" Well, let’s take a closer look at some of the red states leading the charge in poor policies, low wages, and low-quality education. Spoiler: It's not a pretty sight. 🧵👇 #Voices4Victory #DemVoice1 #USDemocracy #ProudBlue

“Whites, it must frankly be said, are not putting in a similar mass effort to reeducate themselves out of their racial ignorance. It is an aspect of their sense of superiority that the white people of America believe they have so little to learn.” - #MLK Jr., “Where Do We Go From Here”

“Why is equality so assiduously avoided? Why does white America delude itself, and how does it rationalize the evil it retains?” -Martin Luther King, Jr., “Where Do We Go From Here” #booksky #america

“The practical cost of change for the nation up to this point has been cheap. The limited reforms have been obtained at bargain rates. There are no expenses, and no taxes are required, for Negroes to share lunch counters, libraries, parks, hotels and other facilities with whites.” - MLK, Jr.

“The Cult of Trump” by Steven Hassan Written in the midst of Trump: Season 1, Hassan looks at his own time following a cult and his research into them to inform us of Trump’s tactics. Dictators need “useful idiots” to keep their power. Fight the power with knowledge! #booksky #fightfordemocracy

“No man is above the law and no man is below it: nor do we ask any man’s permission when we require him to obey it. Obedience to the law is demanded as a right; not asked as a favor.” -Theodore Roosevelt #democracy #law #president

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)

Today is a great day to #useyourvoice and call your #Congress members. Use @5calls.org to make it super easy! Call to discourage the SAVE Act, express disappointment at RFK’s approval, talk about human rights ( #DEI / #LGBTQ / #abortion ).

Nearly 500 babies have been killed by Donald Trump's Supreme Court overturning of Roe v. Wade. Infant mortality rate continues to rise in States with restrictive abortion laws. #OpDeathEaters #3E #EndAutogenocide

Did you know? American taxpayers would be saved $8 MILLION PER DAY if we simply canceled Elon Musk’s defense contracts.

BREAKING: A federal court temporarily blocked President Trump’s executive order aiming to restrict access to gender-affirming medical care for transgender people under age 19 nationwide. This is a major victory for our freedom to access life-saving care.

Please for the love of god care about disabled people

#DARVO Deny Attack Reverse Victim & Offender The worst kind of people use this tactic. There’s no one to blame but Republicans.

Gender Queer by Maia Kobabe If you’re interested in learning more about how gender queer/trans folks can feel, maybe learning how to support a friend or family member, or maybe you’re exploring for yourself, please take a chance on Maia’s book. It’s really well done! #booksky #lgbtq #lgbtqiaplus

#booksky #bookjoy Reading is cool! He’s reading Inner Excellence by Jim Murphy.

This is the kind of outreach we need to see from #democrats going forward. Will Westmoreland has it right! www.reddit.com/r/missouri/s...

“A Russian national and an Uzbek national, both residing in Florida, were arrested for their alleged participation in a scheme to submit false and fraudulent voter registration applications to the Pinellas County, Florida, Supervisor of Elections.” www.justice.gov/opa/pr/russi...

The Little Frog’s Guide to Self-Care by Maybell Eequay Life is hard right now. Little Frog understands. maybelleequay.threadless.com #booksky #positive #affirmation

I find it off-putting that Dem media keeps saying “Elon hired a bunch of teenagers…” These are men. Stop infantilizing them. Only 1 is 19. These are grown men, making grown man choices. HOLD MEN ACCOUNTABLE.

Let's be clear, Republicans are also getting calls! In fact, weighted by population, Nebraska constituents have had a higher call rate than California constituents... NE: 357.0 calls per 100k residents (total: 7,002 calls) CA: 356.3 calls per 100k residents (total: 140,872 calls)

If you don’t have the correct paperwork, tough luck, girl. Go back to 19th-century America. If this Act becomes law, the National Organization for Women estimates that 34% of female voters could be turned away at the polls for incorrect paperwork. And most of them won’t know it until it’s too late.
