it's important this go as viral as the original story for morale purposes if nothing else. despite the image they project these people are NOT unaccountable. consequences CAN be forced. focused anger and outrage MATTERS.

I invented a new phone to help save time in the morning

RIP Kurt Vonnegut. Gone 18 yrs. Dang.

Deep-red town pushes back against ICE seizing children—and wins. This is why doomerism is so toxic. It demotivates, at a time when action is both needed and (at least sometimes) effective.

Hey @gluesenkampperez.house.gov maybe stop saying “people in southwest Washington care about election integrity” to justify your SAVE act vote when the *republican* auditor in the largest county you represent said it will disenfranchise voters in our district. You’re out of your depth. Resign.

The important thing here is that some brave people said NO and they WALKED AWAY

Wishing you and yours a very merry Confederate Surrender Day

A lot of people have asked what it will take for elected Republicans to shift against the regime, and as I explain, the answer is: When they accept that this story only has one ending for them.

for every public service you destroy we add a gender

Maybe the best sign yet. #handsoff

Schwarzenegger winning seemed like the most embarrassing thing that would ever happen in politics at the time and now he’s to the left of every elected Republican and a few Democrats and just makes videos going “young men, my fadda was a Nazi and he was a contemptible loosah”

It is 2002. I am 18 years old. We are in a once-in-a-generation economic crisis. It is 2008. I am 24 years old. We are in a once-in-a-generation economic crisis. It is 2020. I am 36 years old. We are in a once-in-a-generation economic crisis. It is 2025. I am 41 years old. We are in a—

Everyone wants there to be a grand scheme behind all of this but the terrible truth is that extremely stupid people are in charge and they have a fanatical devotion to wrong, childlike concepts of society and economics cooked up by right wing radio hosts in order to sell tainted dietary supplements

We all have a role to play. The key is knowing what your strengths are and then taking that to 11 and leaning in to where you work best. There's no one thing that needs doing in the climate crisis or in fighting fascism. There are a million things. Find yours.

the boys when it turns out Strom Thurmond and Elon Musk are having to devour feculence on the same night

"If America hasn't broken your heart, you don't love her enough." Cory Booker, hour 19

Fam, remember three years ago when Cory Booker brought tears to all of our eyes when he lifted up Ketanji Brown Jackson? “You are worthy.” That’s who he is. That’s who he’s always been. @booker.senate.gov

I see your “standing O, by myself, alone, in my living room” and raise you a “fist pumping and crying in my car in front of the gym, alone.”

The point of Senator Booker's filibuster is to be INSPIRED by this man to go find YOUR ROLE, not to wait for them to go save us now. That is not this assignment. Thread of places to go to get started. More coming out of LiST this Thursday.

Holy shit. “I confess that I’ve been inadequate. That the Democrats have been responsible for allowing the rise of this demagogue.” Gives an impassioned apology and points to this as a moment of personal vow to action.

"If America hasn't broken your heart, you don't love her enough." Cory Booker, hour 19

Listen. I believe ardently in criticizing our leaders for their failures and inaction but if you refuse to acknowledge their efforts when they do make them and if you refuse to recognize a step in the right direction, you don’t really want change. You just want to complain.

I’m a big fan of the sheer number of #tdov gifs on this platform. Trans people make our world great. 🏳️‍⚧️🩵🩷🤍🩷🩵

I have been hearing from people that they have been having issues accessing their Social Security accounts. INSTEAD of going to a branch which may be hundreds or 1Ks+ of miles away from you, call your members of Congress. They have constituent services that will help you regain access. Please share!

If we’re going to find our way out of this it’s going to be through art, through love, through love that seems foolish and naive and reckless. It’s going to take a reawakening of what it means to be human, to be connected in a fearless way. This bloodless machine has to be dismantled, destroyed.

It's critical for everyone to remember what an Executive Order is. It is the President communicating orders to members of the executive branch. Policies to pursue, actions to take, etc. They are not laws. They are not close to being laws. They are formalized memos to employees. That's all.

Me in the national security group chat:

"Hope is not optimism, which expects things to turn out well, but something rooted in the conviction that there is good worth working for." – Seamus Heaney

A thread full of hope

Please boycott my country and tell US airlines that you won’t waste money on a ticket to nowhere. Make the airlines lobby the administration to end this fascist madness. They will scream loudly when their lucrative international revenue dries up.

Was a soggy one at #teslatakedown today but democracy is worth it.

Really enjoying this classic Sesame Street segment, two minutes of freestyle jazz riffing on saxophone factory footage

There’s little i appreciate more than seeing this message every day. I need the reminder. You probably do too.

Just to spell this out: you, too, are not breaking the law. Versions of this could happen to any of us.

Historian here: “To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.” ― Theodore Roosevelt

No matter your background and irrespective of whether you agree with his political beliefs or not, if you're not terrified that a US permanent resident could be subject to deportation and greencard revocation without due process, then you are in deep need of a history lesson.

It’s 12:40pm, do you know where your middle aged moms are? #saturdayinamerica #libertyisliberty #allmeansall #vanwa

I don’t want to hear a goddam thing about economic populism anymore.

Oh no it sounds like The Groups might not shut up. so much for our foolproof plan to "compromise"and never talk about this again. How does our "this plan will work as long as 330 million people agree to shutup" plan keep failing

The arc from “freedom fries” to “hitler fries” is a good encapsulation of how American conservatism has evolved in my lifetime

people nationwide need to study what's happening in Montana to protect trans kids and their families
