NEW: A searing editorial in the The Kyiv Independent. “It’s time to say it plainly. America’s leadership has switched sides in the war. The American people have not, and they should speak up. “A president just disrespected America in the Oval Office. It wasn’t Zelensky.” @kyivindependent.com

MAGA is a death cult.

If you’re at home today, not spending money, and feeling bored, you might be wondering, “What could I do?” Well, task one: you can make random reports on this website: enddei.ed.gov

Reading this now and it is very good.

The attack on DEI shows why liberals should stop arguing about "strategic" use of language forever. DEI stands for three uncontroversial virtues that most every American accepts, and the right still turned it into a vile slur. It doesn't matter what you say - they will poison it because YOU said it.

Trans people are sick of being the canaries in the coal mine of fascism. But if you stick up for us we will love you forever and we are cool and funny and sexy so maybe you should do it.

Instead of doomsday prepping I think we should all be doing some nervous system prepping these days. Because I really want us all to make it to the other side of this apocalypse: open.substack.com/pub/dlmayfie...

Why does National Institutes of Health funding matter? It’s the fuel to find cures for: - Cancer - Alzheimer’s - Cystic Fibrosis - Pediatric Cancer - ALS - MS - Parkinson’s Trump tried to cut it, but thanks to AG Campbell, a judge blocked the cuts. This is why we fight.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Prior to the budget showdown, Dems have an opportunity to show not tell what they're for by introducing a billionaires' tax and setting out bright red lines for their votes. #NoBillionaireBailouts Seize moral high ground, make MAGA defend the indefensible.

Join us on Sunday 2/23 in Tacoma with @laresistencianw.bsky.social and Tsuru for Solidarity!

Always an honor, and a treat, to talk to @anandwrites.bsky.social about how to fabulously fight fascism: the.ink/p/watch-an-a...

Here’s my pep talk after studying authoritarianism: 1). They never truly expect a long-term resistance movement bc they think people are a collection of trauma triggers who are easily controlled thru terror 2). If they can’t terrorize you 24/7 in your mind, they have already lost the war

New interview: Senator @chrismurphyct.bsky.social told me U.S. may be "months" from "irreversible" destruction of democracy; "most serious moment since the Civil War.” We had a blunt talk about how Dems need to wake up and change approach fast and what you can do. the.ink/p/watch-dem-...

We're expediting sex designation change requests on birth certificates. People born in WA who want to change the sex designation on their birth certificate can do so by filing a request with us. . doh.wa.gov/DesignationC...

Baloo wants just one of those chicken nuggets pretty please.

Had a childhood friend text me yesterday to tell me she loves me and Jesus loves me. Aside from strangers, I haven’t had anyone say that to me in more than a decade. It made my teeth hurt and then I just started laughing. I’m not sure what she expected me to feel, but it probably wasn’t dental pain.

Dear Members of the Democratic Party, Y’all need to stop asking me for money right now. Read the fucking room

Oh no.

work in progress!! 🐛 due to the overwhelming demand from my previous post of this piece, I will be auctioning it off on ebay! it should be happening in the next day or two. my username is shopenchantedplanet. i’ll let you know on bluesky as well when it’s going up! will be a buy it now option too!

Everyone who studied fascism a little too much over the past few years/decades definitely deserves a treat today.

Two years with the world’s best dogs.

I found out my mom gave all my siblings $100 for Christmas. Even my brother who has been no contact with her for three years. Guess who she skipped? Every couple years something like this happens and I’m the only one she doesn’t include. It would be sad if it weren’t so expected. 😂😅

Trump's spending freeze was unconstitutional and a violation of the Impoundment Control Act. But the public uproar yesterday should serve as a reminder that Trump's plans to gut federal programs are deeply unpopular. Keep fighting. Keep up the pressure. Don't tune out. www.cnn.com/2025/01/29/p...

"This is happening now, again" -Bainbridge Island CM Clarence Moriwaki tonight referencing 1942's EO 9066 and the history of the use of executive orders for overreach. Moriwaki is one of the founders of the Japanese American Exclusion Memorial Association.

Day 8 of Project 2025. I . . . am a little astonished to find I was actually downplaying how bad (and how quickly) it could get.

I wrote a little guide for how to survive when an end-times cult takes over your country. It’s . . . weirdly hopeful? open.substack.com/pub/dlmayfie...

Really really really going to try and be over here instead of anything meta until I can forget those other apps even exist. Happened with MySpace (RIP) so it can happen again.
