🧵"So this is how liberty dies..." Trump’s first 3 weeks have been a relentless flood of actions. It's incredibly hard to keep up. I’ve gone through 69 actions & mapped out the pattern - showing how they fall within 5 broad domains consistent with authoritarian states 1/9

So many of us are feeling this. It is okay to step back! Take a day or two off from checking the news. Do something that brings you joy, or at least doesn't fill you with negative emotions. You can't save someone from the waves if you're also drowning.

I am as Costco-pilled as anyone, but I hope people cheering them also realize that they're about to force thousands of their workers to strike because they won't agree on a new contract. Do not cross a picket line if they do. teamster.org/2025/01/cost...

Hey you! Yeah you! Stop scrolling! Take 5 deep breaths. Focus on your body, wherever you're holding tension (for me it's my neck and shoulders). Relax those muscles. Stretch a little bit. Go get a glass of water and drink it. Okay now get back to work, call your senators, keep on fighting.

I don't even know how to express how much of the American medical system relies on federal grants. It's not just research. It's student loans, hospital charity care, so much research, primary care for tens of millions of Americans, vaccines...the list is basically endless.

Film everything ICE does. Don't let them get away with illegally raiding businesses and homes in the night without warrants signed by judges. Everyone should feel an obligation to film them, report their whereabouts to the media, immigration attorneys, and elected representatives.

Everything is extremely chaotic but the best info we have so far suggests that Trump’s “stop funding” EO would cover: Medicaid ESSA funds IDEA Snap School meals WIC Head start grants Child care block grants Pell grants Student loans Higher Ed grants Housing vouchers CTE Devastating beyond words.

People in public health are freaking out, rightfully, about this administration's funding/grant pause. I found this piece by @stevevladeck.bsky.social on the Constitutional issues super-useful. Thanks for sharing, @justin-s.bsky.social www.stevevladeck.com/p/120-the-im...

I love this time of year because people will post something super dramatic and vague like “Nooooooo” and I can’t tell if it’s about football or gestures outside window all of this.

As a Marine Corps veteran and VA patient, I know firsthand how critical the VA is to our community. Today, I’m amplifying a powerful statement from @senatorblumenthal.bsky.social on the dangerous gaps in Trump’s VA hiring freeze exemptions. #VeteransDeserveBetter 🧵

Good morning and Happy Monday, everyone! So the first email from our CEO I see as soon as I open my computer is that the State Department has paused all 10 resettlement agencies to stop our reception and placement work to newly arrived refugee families we serve. I beg you please assist us advocating

Every so often I'm reminded that a lot of people don't know this: you can support your local public library in two incredibly easy steps! 1) Get a library card. 2) Check some stuff out of the library. Books? Movies? Puzzles? Other items? Boom. You have now supported your local library!

Today's reminder: The only thing you should ever be saying to law enforcement officers is "I am exercising my constitutional rights to remain silent, and to legal counsel. I will not speak to you until I have legal counsel present." Then DO NOT SAY ANYTHING until you have a lawyer next to you.

When someone puts their life on the line to defend this country in uniform, we in turn, promise them health care after their service. Trump froze all hiring at the VA at a time when the VA is experiencing a shortage of doctors & nurses. Unacceptable. Our veterans deserve better.

I really thought that trying to live through dystopian times where the government is trying to erase my existence would be more exciting. Instead I'm just trying to pay attention in a staff meeting at work while thinking about an executive order that redefined the entire population as female*

I’m okay for the moment, but if you’re cis and want to help trans folk, direct donations to trans people in need are literally the easiest and best way to help someone in a tight spot. Remember that the next time you see a post asking for help scroll across your feed.
