Keep going

Journalists who frame what's happening in Washington as Republicans vs. Democrats instead of fascism vs. democracy are missing the most important story of their lives.

I know, I know, but just let me have this Wordle 1,345 2/6 🟨🟨⬛🟨🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

I keep seeing this. Guys, their literal job is to figure out what to do. They are not helpless even if they are not the majority. I really hope we can stop treating some of the most powerful people in the world as helpless and without sentience.

well it has certainly been an amusing prank to let the worst people alive take over the american government for a few weeks, but I think it's probably gone on long enough

Skeets are like notes we all pass in prison

Reminder to anyone who needs to run an errand in LA: do it now #SuperBowl #zerotraffic

More relevant than ever

the arc of the moral universe could be a bit shorter imo

That scene with Leia & Han Solo & carbonite but it's me yelling "I LOVE YOU" right before my hot dog falls into a mud puddle

Idgaf I’m still fighting for guaranteed healthcare. Aspiration is the answer. Not just “we’re not the bad guys.” We need something more meaningful than that. I want a future worth fighting for. They have no vision. We do. Lean into our strengths and knock them out. 👊🏽

Now the whole country gets the experience of what it's like when private equity buys the place you work

A Nazi billionaire is drilling directly into Fort Knox in broad daylight and we’re just watching it happen.

If I just read one million more posts tonight, I will have complete control over what comes next

the world’s richest man has decided that the world’s richest country must stop helping the world’s poorest people. as ‘the shining city on the hill’ descends into the dark oubliette of moral bankruptcy.

@corybooker.com hello I used to run the Wendy’s Twitter account and I am begging you to let me help you with the dems social media strategy, I will literally do it for free at this point

So if I’m understanding today correctly, the world’s richest person Elon Musk, whom no one elected, is taking over federal payment systems and employee data while the federal employees who investigate and prosecute public corruption are being fired en masse.

I love that a white guy was flying the plane, a white guy was flying the helicopter, and a white guy gutted the FAA last week but somehow the blame is too much diversity.

Is seating on public transportation going to be divided into DEI and non-DEI sections?

I actually wish the media would stop using "DEI" and "diversity hiring" and just get to the essence of the thing and ask: "Are you saying that this crash was caused by desegregating the races?" And see what happens.

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too. Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more. Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

Mom can you come pick me up this ever darkening world has become impossible to love

I could accept everyone becoming dumber if we were also becoming nicer (golden retriever-fication) instead of getting more evil

[reading the news today] Oh boy.

I would like to see things go back to being hinged.

Sure is a bad time to be a person who cares about things.

Thank goodness the TikTok ban is in effect and now no one can ever use my data for nefarious purposes.

im looking forward to watching this app burn to the ground with all of you in a few years

i like when i pet a dog on the street and then when we part ways theyve noticeably got a lil extra pep in their step as they bounce away

JACK: *falls down, breaks crown* JILL: *tumbling after* i told you to quit trying to make fetch happen

the only real way to prevent myself from eating this leftover candy every day is to eat it all at once

My one wish for the inauguration is that there is a gift bag under the seats of Bezos, Zuck, Elon etc, with a single, embroidered , padded knee pad Need to protect themselves when they are on bended knee, kissing the ring 🤷😆
