The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

Americans: We’d like to afford basic necessities, keep vital programs, and not lose our retirement savings. Trump: Best I can do is a car commercial for the richest man on Earth.

Big Tech has lived by, “Move Fast and Break Things.” So they destroyed everything quickly and now we are here. No more. Indigenous practices have always shown us that the way is to Move Slow and Repair Things. Plant, grow, replenish, reparations, regenerate.

DOGE recommends cuts to the FAA. Hundreds of workers get fired, including those tasked with producing air traffic navigation maps. Now Starlink is reportedly in line to take over a $2 billion contract to upgrade the nation's air traffic control systems. See how this works?

Two of the most impactful and powerful resources you have available to you are your attention and endurance. Allocate them wisely. Understand there are immediate, mid, and long-term goals. Do not conflate every action into one, and also remain focused on the bigger picture.

I love leaving voice mails for my senators where I say things like "the USPS is very important to our country" as if I'm helping a small child with a book report or describing our civilization to an alien

The GOP passed a budget resolution tonight that will gut Medicaid, SNAP, and other vital programs — as 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck. Why? To finance more tax cuts for the top 1%. We have socialism in this country for the rich, harsh capitalism for everyone else.

House Republicans want to gut Medicaid, hike health care costs, and cut food assistance—all so billionaires can get another tax break. If you’re struggling to pay for groceries or keep up with medical bills, they’re making it worse—just to help the rich. accountable.us/house-republ...

In occupied France, people would drop their used matches folded into a V, as a secret sign of resistance. People who opposed the Nazis would see them, knew they weren't alone, & felt emboldened to take action. Some modern day equivalents here--small but powerful actions you can absolutely do:

This is a "reindeer cyclone", a defensive behavior that has been observed in herds of reindeer, even in captivity. The fawns and older animals are at the center, the strongest animal in the outer lanes. The point is to confuse the brains of predators accustomed to stalking a single outlier.

Elon wanting a record of work product from ever federal employee has sinister overtones. My assumption is that it’s a data harvest. Musk will run the replies through AI to create staffing models. Private contractors can use the info to replace public services. civicactionhubmd.com/2025/02/20/w...

People with doctorates are the most liberal and progressive. The entire mission of destroying academia is to eliminate entire voting demographics. They explicitly spell this out. Shutting down PhD programs isn't an accident, it's the goal.
