Teachers teach. We need a leaderful movement, and there are leaders all around us.

Thanks to @sketchesbyboze.bsky.social for reminding me of this Ursula K. le Guin quote.

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

stop fighting over whose gulf it is & give it back to the SHRAMPS

This is sickening

This unbelievable. I’m ashamed of my hometown and glad I didn’t go to UC.

Broke: DOGE's supposed "savings," even with generous accounting, aren't enough to positively impact the federal budget, certainly not when factoring in the lost benefits Woke: DOGE's supposed "savings" aren't even enough to cover DOGE

Bluesky has deleted her account 6 times. They are repeatedly deleting other legit Palestinian accounts too. Please support Eslam.

It's past midnight, and Senate Republicans are voting NO against every Democratic-led amendment to PROTECT HEALTH CARE for our families. Pay close attention: Republicans are working to push kids off Medicaid to pass MORE tax cuts for billionaires.

In 2024, the NLRB filed a complaint against Tesla for interfering in a union drive at their Buffalo, NY assembly plant. Today:

K, here's my thing about heroes vs. villains. Being good/a hero (and by that I mean, making the best choices one can to help others, do no harm and make shit better) is hard as hell in a world that is often cruel and rewards selfish behavior. "Good" is a choice you have to make over and over...

Got himself arrested on purpose while telling his city council to not put a MAGA plaque on the library because MAGA = Nazis. It worked, producing media coverage. Baller. ✊ www.latimes.com/socal/daily-...

This is incredible reporting that must shock the conscience of each and every one of us.

Good thread

After publishing this story, which features a picture of the protest at Children's National in DC, I have been informed that moments ago, Childrens National in DC has resumed transgender care. The hospital protests worked! Keep doing them!

Over 50% of nonviolent movements to overthrow governments are successful within one year of their peak. The key is to engage over 3.5% of the country, a cross-section of society—clergy, kids, grandmas, teachers) using DIVERSE & CREATIVE tactics, with women in leadership. We can do this. More:

Scoop --> Trump-Musk cuts just resulted in the firing of numerous top researchers at NIH's center for combating Alzheimer's, sources tell me. They predict big setbacks to fighting dementias. This cause was once championed by *Republicans.* Details here: newrepublic.com/article/1917...

Good morning from the middle of a coup. Take your meds. Invite a friend out. Hugs your kids. Fight back. Deny consent. Talk about what is happening. Organize locally.

Whole country’s getting Dunning-Krugered to death

Can you give a few bucks to support Eslam? She’s been working so hard all these months to help her family. Let’s make this goal!

New from 404 Media: a Musk ally has demanded administrative access to Notify.gov, a system that lets the government text the public. The access would give them large swathes of the publics' personal data too. A worker has resigned in protest rather than give access www.404media.co/musk-ally-de...

Not surprised that it's community colleges that are fighting back. Community colleges serve the greatest number of people facing systemic barriers. A large percentage of community college students are the first in their family to attend college.

As I just shared this in a comment, I will also share it here. We made a free workbook associated with Let This Radicalize You. We included a bibliography of organizing resources pp. 100-109 - books, podcasts, curricula, articles, etc... www.interruptingcriminalization.com/resources-al...

It's annoying how clearly this is going to play out. They gut the FAA. Therefore, the FAA can't do its job well because it was gutted. Therefore, they say "The FAA sucks, we have to privatize it." which is what Project 2025 wants to do. They're manufacturing the crises for their end goal.

Can we do that today too, unfortunately we couldn't complete this yesterday because my account was deleted today 💔 Donation matching 15$ or 25$ or 50$ 🙏🏻 If you can't match the donation, please repost or put a follow on this account🙏🏻🫂 tinyurl.com/HelpEslamsFa...

Letters went out to federal workers this morning stating they were fired due to poor performance. However, all employees had been rated as “exceptional” performers by their supervisors. Please keep these records and pursue wrongful termination claims. Let the lawsuits begin.

Too many people on here seem to believe there are exactly two kinds of Americans: ardent politically-obsessed Bluesky users, and frothing MAGA cultists. There are a LOT of people in this country who *just don’t pay a lot of attention one way or another*. And we absolutely can reach them.

This is just it. In all reality, if they are going to deploy some variation of Martial law regardless, it is better to have it deployed because Americans are protesting in mass publicly with cameras and phones rolling so it’s clear the regime is acting against the public illegitimately.
