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.

If you're represented by a Republican and you care about the post office, how about flyering outside your local post office. Tell folks about the administration's plan to dismantle USPS and tell them to contact their GOP reps. Include local telephone numbers on the fliers. bsky.app/profile/sylv...

Not only did the National Park Service remove references to transgender history on the Stonewall website, it appears they are now editing the work of historians without their knowledge or consent.

The greatest political scandal today is not what Trump is doing. It is the fact that congressional Republicans have given up their role in the constitutional system as a check on the executive branch. If we are in a constitutional crisis, it is as much on Mike Johnson and John Thune as anyone else.

Why are any senate Dems working with Republicans? Senate confirmed Trump’s pick for USDA chief by a vote of 72–28. Brooke Rollins, a conservative lawyer who led the America First Policy Institute and Texas Public Policy Foundation, won the support of many Democrats, despite little experience

This is what revisionist history looks like, in real time. And this also is why it might appear that archaeologists and historians have to dig deep to discover the existence of powerful women and marginalized groups -- because their legacies are so often erased.

Trump's top border goon whined that Chicagoans are so educated about their rights that it's messing with ICE's raids. Today in @thenation.com, organizer Raeghn Draper tells us how the city is resisting—and how you can too. A great reminder—we're NOT helpless! www.thenation.com/article/acti...

Agree. Right now Republicans aren’t feeling any pressure. Neither Johnson, nor Thune. No visits to their offices. No demonstrations. No reporters running alongside them with microphones. No Dem walkouts from hearings or votes.

If you’re a federal employee, you should know this is a lie. Congress hasn’t appropriated these monies and so it’s literally not there to be spent. Also, federal agencies are limited by law to a max $25K payout in the case of restructuring.
