AOC is in “trouble” with 🤡 because she posted “know your rights” videos advising people on their rights and how to assert them in regards to 🧊. I'm really disappointed because all the Dems should be doing, at bare minimum, the exact same thing. This is yet another pressure point we can create.

Republicans are good at being loud. We have to be louder. Channel all your spite into calling. The only intelligible thing you need to say is your name and your zipcode. If you sob for a straight minute between screaming “Whhhyyyyy???!!!!!” it’s better than nothing. You don't have to be eloquent.

Friends, please imagine the most ignorant and reactive person you know. Understand that person is calling their senators and congress reps regularly to pressure them into doing utterly unhinged and harmful things. That's what we’re up against. Call your reps. Leave a message. Call again. Call again.

I can't let you have access to these groceries, m’am. I'm from DODE (Department of Dogs Eating), and I need privacy to complete my audit. Of course I won’t eat them all. This is all very legitimate.

The entire Super Bowl crowd singing "A minorrrrrrrr"

There's no rule against naming your dog Jesus Christ. If you've got a dog that notoriously slops their water everywhere, you might name them John the Baptist. Works even better if they like eating bugs. There are a bazillion dogs named Odin and Zeus. Yours could be Christ the Savior.

“Efforts by Trump officials to control the publication have stalled the release of three studies about bird flu for weeks, as the virus continues spreading through wild birds, poultry farms and cows around the country.” www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-o...

Flu rates are super high everywhere in the US. Some schools have closed as a result. But it isn't too late to get your flu shot! Many pharmacies offer flu shots at no cost with insurance. If you don't have insurance, your health department may offer them for free.

OK, there we go!

Trump’s solution to Gaza? Just make the Palestinians disappear. Technically, that would ‘end’ the genocide—if there’s no one left to kill. Classic Trump logic: clear the land, slap his name on a casino, and call it a win. Six months, tops, before he moves on.

These are tried and true isolation tactics used by abusers. He is alienating all of our allies on purpose.

Elon Musk is now bragging about getting rid of the team that put together the 'Direct File' tax filing system, which allows citizens to easily file their taxes for free. Direct File is a big target of the for-profit tax prep industry including corporations like Intuit and H&R Block.

Dismantling USAID… how very “pro-life” of this administration.

Something that parents of kids in public schools can do right now is make sure their county or city school board has a policy and procedure in place for dealing with any attempts by ice to access students during the school day.

This administration is trying to exhaust us. Resistance is a practice through which we take action, rest, live, celebrate, and repeat. Get to know your neighbors. Visit a library. Donate. Volunteer. Plan a garden. There are many ways to resist. We need them all.

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.

Go fill your tank up now. Drop what you’re doing and do it now.

This language describes a coup. You have to be a government employee, subject to the rules & procedures that bind gov employees, to do this kind of work. This is a blatant abuse of the public trust by the Trump administration, a true 5-alarm fire. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

It’s pretty insane that a private citizen can come in, hijack federal government servers, fire people, and steal their PII.

Remember that joy is resistance. Do not hesitate in your joy nor in your rest. We need both to keep fighting.

It is important to understand Trump’s denigration of DEI as discrimination against all non-men, people of color, LGBTQ people and disabled people. It is important to see that he is blaming those people for everything and anything he can. He means to make us all serve his purposes and must be stopped

Buttigieg’s response to Trump vis Twitter, on multiple levels:

BERNIE SANDERS: Vaccines do not cause autism. Do you agree? RFK Jr: As I said, I'm not going into HHS with any preordained-- SANDERS: I asked you a simple question, Bobby RFK Jr: If you show me those studies ... SANDERS: That is a very troubling response

REPORTER: Is there an acting FAA director? DUFFY: *walks away* (The FAA director resigned on the day of Trump's inauguration under pressure from Elon Musk)

Kash Patel would make a disastrous FBI director. It’s clear Trump chose him to be a major cog in his vengeance machine to silence and intimidate critics. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

If this administration reminds of nothing else, it makes clear something I say all the time: race is the central organizing feature of American politics and American life. Nothing else comes close. These fools can’t even talk about a tragic plane crash without talking about “DEI.”

Lots of people won’t be sleeping tonight. I hope the rescue teams are staying safe, and my thoughts are with the loved ones of those on the plane and helicopter. This fucking sucks.

CRASH AT DCA All takeoffs takeoffs and landings at Reagan National Airport have been halted after a small commercial aircraft crashed into a helicopter nearby and plunged into the Potomac River. Emergency response is underway.

The Germans are protesting and singing Bella Ciao. For us? Maybe. Against fascism? Definitely.

this is an illegal order. the president does not have the legal authority to discriminate against entire categories of americans on the basis of sex. this order is no different than if he had issued one reinstituting segregation.

China is showing us how capitalism fails with deepseek. Capitalism will prioritize profitability above everything else. And because power has consolidated in the 1%, the products and systems serve the 1% at our expense. They don’t care if something works. They care if it makes them money.

Maybe we all ought to learn mandarin.

Mexico has launched an app for Mexican nationals in the U.S. (legally or no) that has an emergency button you can tap to alert the closest consulate if something happens or you feel in danger from immigration. Please share.

Billionaires should not exist.

Read. Read books. Reading books is resistance. Buy. Buy books. Buying books is resistance. Share. Share books. Sharing books is resistance. Celebrate Celebrate books. Celebrating books is resistance.

very excited to see what happens when you make a deeply compromised addict the leader of the department of defense and subordinate to a madman

Mad about the Dept of Ed suspending investigations on politically-driven book bans? Calling them a hoax? Go to your local school board meeting!

Do not fall for Maga and Corporate BS. Look at what they do, not what they say. They will take as much as they can get away with. Every tiny act of resistance crucial. Where you spend money is important. Where you spend your time is important. Behavior you accept is important. It all counts.

So listen, Trump just says whatever he needs to say to get what he wants. And then he just does what he wants regardless of what he said. In this regard, turnabout is fair play. Republicans and billionaires play by different rules. And when we play with them, we gotta get on their level.
