“I want our elected democratic officials to start engaging in civil disobedience,” Chris Kluwe “Right now, no one is willing to step up and do that. So, if I want to ask them to do it, then I have to be willing to do it too.” Thank you @chriswarcraft.bsky.social

Not sure why some folks are saying we’re getting “close” to a constitutional crisis. The crisis began when the entire legislative branch, ie the Republican-controlled House & Senate, gave up their power so they can do Trump’s bidding. That, my friends, is a constitutional COLLAPSE.

Musk's censorship algorithm on Twitter reduced our audience by about 95% since he bought it. So we moved over to blue sky. Help us build another great following right here where the skies are clear and the water is fine ;-) Please do Follow Retweet & repeat

Remember: The fundamental issue isn’t the size of the government or how to make government more “efficient.” It’s who our government is for. Should it work mainly for big corporations and billionaires, including the richest person in the world — or for the rest of us?

If you oppose Trump but still watch the Super Bowl, rethink that. He’s attending, teams & sponsors have issues, some players too, and the stadium? Likely built with taxpayer money after displacing marginalized communities. Boycott it—don’t ignore the bigger picture.

Please, everyone, drop what you’re doing and read this:

This. Make it hard for the Republicans to destroy the country.

To America’s 2.3 million federal employees: Don’t accept a buyout. Neither Musk nor even Trump has the legal authority to make such an offer. And even if they did, would you trust them to follow through on it? Sincerely, Robert Reich Former U.S.Secretary of Labor

There has never been a better time to go out of your way to make an extra effort to shop at family-owned small businesses buying local products whenever possible, avoiding chains, online behemoths, and big corporations whenever you are able.

‘Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.’ — Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. On #MLKDay, we honor his legacy by choosing love over hate, justice over injustice, and hope over fear.

"The global economy could face 50% loss in GDP between 2070 and 2090 from the catastrophic shocks of climate change unless immediate action by political leaders is taken to decarbonise and restore nature." www.theguardian.com/environment/... 🧵

The insanity of being a fire ecologist in the epicenter of a major fire event, bags packed and ready to evacuate, watching active fire from my window, while taking media requests and explaining to the public, for the 100,000th time how climate change is largely responsible for this

Must-read @alexsteffen.bsky.social on why Trump loves the climate chaos: "The Trump crowd has already shown they don’t see acceleration of the climate chaos as a problem—they see it as an opportunity."

We're over $28,000 in debt from the last few years and struggling to raise enough to fund this years field work season. Times are really tight as we're getting skinny trying to save as much as possible. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated. Please donate today. gofund.me/839ae416

NEW: Women experiencing pregnancy loss in states with abortion bans told us they wished they had known what to expect and how to advocate for themselves. We created this guide for anyone who finds themselves in the same position. ⤵️

We can't sit on the sidelines while Trump attacks the news media. It's more important than ever to actively support the many news outlets & individual journalists committed to rigorous, fearless reporting. I have some recommendations in my new piece ⤵️ heartlandsignal.com/2024/12/16/o...

@who.int Director-General's remarks at a media briefing on 10 December 2024: "We cannot talk about COVID in the past tense. It’s still with us, it still causes acute disease and Long COVID, and it still kills. The world might want to forget about COVID-19, but we cannot afford to."

Every conservative columnist right now.

JUST IN: In a major foreign policy speech, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer warns Donald Trump that he will not side with the United States over the EU after Trump allies suggested he must make a choice between the two.

The handwringing lectures about how the left has no choice but to stay on Twitter are even more ridiculous when you remember that the far right used a series of alternative media — from direct mail to talk radio to Fox News to Breitbart to Gab, Parler and Truth Social — as their path to victory.

Maybe it is time to go live off the grid in a cabin in the woods until this passes.

Meet the Ideologue of the “Post-Constitutional” Right   Russell Vought, one of the architects behind Project 2025, believes there is nothing left to conserve. He desires revolution – and to burn down the system.   New piece:
