“It’s ridiculous and it’s also self-defeating. Because ignoring crowds like this, that’s ignoring the early warning system that you’ve got a really big political problem.” - @leahgreenberg.bsky.social on President Musk’s conspiracy theories about “paid protesters” and the backlash to the MAGA agenda

does anyone else remember the second moon we had before it spilled open and its yolk was the sea, its shell the stars, and a wavering stillness set across the sky as the corpse of the last watcher from the threshold crashed through the clouds

When you start making choices based on your best mental health you may find you can let go of nearly everything owning your time/energy. It is a different prioritization that will shift your thinking and restructure HOW you live your day to day. It's not easy, at first. Later, why did you wait?

Pro Tip: Innocent people don’t spend their days attacking judges, that’s what mobsters and despots do. Any lawyer who willingly does business with the White House is a creep & a cretin. I don’t care how much their firm pulls in a year. They’re enabling tyrants and they know it.

Every day on the internet makes it abundantly clear that some people have never had a single person turn around and say to them, ‘Cite your sources’ because, and I say this with every ounce of love I can muster as a teacher: while you are entitled to your opinion, that does not make it fact.

Warnock: They are busy attacking ordinary people. They don’t understand what it’s like to ration your prescription drugs or what it’s like to try to figure out how to afford groceries. In the words of that prophet who just spoke at The Super Bowl: They not like us

If you have extra money within your means, you can donate it to local groups pushing back. If you have free time within your means, you can donate it by volunteering with them, too. Sometimes we can't do much, but we can do what we can. Keep up with your local news, and vote next time you can.

Weingarten: If you think this is unprecedented. You’re not crazy. It is. It is. We have never faced the kind of assault on people that has happened in the last 60 plus days.

Recently joined my local Indivisible group, it's newly formed and we have less than a dozen members, but it's interesting to me because we all thought to in the last week or two. I think maybe a public sentiment of "stand up and do something" started happening.

The White House quietly released a Friday night EO that would eradicate privacy protections, make enemies lists a lot easier to assemble, and basically set the stage for a police state.

What do you call humans being kidnapped and sent to another country to be imprisoned in shackles and forced to perform intense physical labor while living in horrid conditions under the threat of daily physical violence and rape? Open a history book. You can do it. I believe in you.

"Incarcerated journalists tell stories no one else can," @seth-stern.bsky.social and Theodore Amey write in @columjournreview.bsky.social. "When the public entrusts and pays for correctional agencies to care for those who are incarcerated, it deserves to know what’s going on."

OK, gonna throw this spicy bomb out there. If you're fortunate enough to have disposable income, then right now it is your duty to use that income wisely. You have agency over how you spend it and you should own how you spend it. Your decisions do, in fact, affect stock prices of big corporations.

Well comrades, times are hard and we keep pushing. Everyone is right to be furious. Where are the most vulnerable people in your local communities? How can you be in solidarity with them during these hard times? There's a lot to do. Take some time to regroup and then get back to work.
