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.

Authoritarianism is inherently strange. Trump’s worsening madness and Musk’s repulsive behavior is part of that, but also it all provides an opening for actual resistance. The backlash is coming. It’s on us to be ready when the moment arrives. jaredyatessexton.substack.com/p/sound-and-...

State loudly it's a coup. A stolen election. Your constitution is attacked. Ask military brass to honor their oath to uphold the constitution against domestic enemies, before non-trumpers are purged. After purge it's Martial law, and only civil war left. It is not a drill. Share if you dare and care

It’s been a long fucking day, I’m tired, and I misspoke. Let me rephrase it in a more correct way. Fuck Hakeem Jeffries and almost every other elected Democratic official for forcing me to be the one to get arrested instead of them doing their goddamn job and being leaders.

Trump is a Russian stooge. Putin may as well written this himself. And any Republican in Congress who said they support our allies before, but are silent today over this, are worthless.

Bc it's a highly effective Russian propaganda tool that Putin has used for many years against his opposition. The very thought of this crime is so heinous, and it arouses such a deep visceral reaction, that when you hear it you skip right over wondering if there's any truth to it at all. That's why.

Here’s the thing. Every one of these people in tears heard Trump on the stump before Nov. They knew he was cruel. But they were fine with it, thinking he’d only hurt the people they didn’t like. The problem with cruelty—It spreads. You don’t get to control it. Sooner or later, it comes for you too.

The masses never revolt of their own accord, and they never revolt merely because they are oppressed. Indeed, so long as they are not permitted to have standards of comparison, they never even become aware that they are oppressed.

Without going all Martin Niemöller here, I do think that it's bad not to speak up for immigrants, transgender Americans, civil servants, women, Ukraine, and everyone else the MAGA bullies are going after. We're beyond picking and choosing whom to defend. It's time to stand up and speak out.

Make your calls. Go to your town halls. Ask your state and local officials what they are doing under state and local law. Rest. Hydrate. Make soup for the hungry. Don’t let people tell you that you’re doing it wrong. Not a sprint. Not a marathon. A relay. Find your team. Thank you.
