If you had 100 homeless people, and 175,000 per person to deal with the problem, what would you do?

I have a terminal brain worm where I say "Oh this will be a simple, easy project that I can bang out in a month!" And then proceed to tack on a whole ass production where I have to hire artists and cast voice actors.

Have you ever wondered how bumble bees survive the long, cold winter months? If so, check out this short web story I wrote for WWF on the subject. These critical pollinators are truly amazing animals. www.worldwildlife.org/stories/wher.... #bee #bumblebee #pollinator #insect

If anyone claims that the current anti-trans panic was caused in any part by trans people advocating for our human rights, that person is lying through their teeth. The religious right lost on marriage equality, and immediately started going after trans people instead. That's what happened.

Indivisible/MoveOn/WFP also promoted this protest at Treasury on Tuesday at 5 p.m., organized by what appears to be a new group supporting federal workers www.instagram.com/p/DFl2CETtrSy/

Indivisible is showing up, let's fucking go! Below are detailed guides for direct action whether you can leave the home or need to stay indoors. People from inside the federal offices are noticing a lot of quiet discontent and shock among the right. Let's all strike while the iron is hot.

Want to do some direct action? Check out the Working Families Party. They provide training and events, and work independently as well as with elected officials to get real work done. workingfamilies.org/about/

We Choose to Fight has maxed out on the Zoom Call. It's streaming on YouTube - Indivisible Channel.

If you're a journalist downloading CDC data today, please consider filling out this form so we have a centralized guide to who has what. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Our coalition has grown to 30,000 federal employees. Details regarding new guidance will be distributed. For those not in our coalition, here is a public message: hide any online content that is public, document everything you witness or experience, and keep daily notes at home with dates and times.

"Democrats are doing NOOOOOTHING WAAAAHHHH" Look harder for the victories. They are happening. Resistance is everywhere.

Swear to god if AOC runs for President and y'all nitpick her to death like Bernie or Kamala, I will bring up that right now everyone is saying she should run. How many more elections can we afford to lose because people demand perfection before even marginal progress in the right direction?

Hell yeah, fight the good fight.

To help Ash and his family move to safety as quickly as possible, he is hoping to raise $5,000 to cover moving costs and other associated expenses. Any amount that you can contribute will be greatly appreciate by Ash, his family, and those who care for his safety. www.gofundme.com/f/help-ash-m...

www.youtube.com/watch?v=8z7H... This is 5 years old, but as far as I am aware is still effective. Be vigilant and know your rights. ICE isn't above showing up to schools, churches, hospitals, or in this case, outside of courthouses to attempt to detain people.

Sneak peek at interview we did about #TheLibrariansFilm from #sundancefilmfestival @freadomfighters www.indiewire.com/news/festiva...

Open invitation: If you work for the federal government in the Trump administration and you ever want to share anything that’s going on with the public, message me for my Signal number and we can chat in confidence.

Ok so lots of people want to know how to help immigrants right now, which is great! Here is a brief thread about what I learned from @ufw.bsky.social folks while hanging out with them. They also hold training so if they're in your area, look em up and ask if you can attend!

The administration took down the reproductive rights website that women need access to. So The Skimm bought a url and brought the content back. Pass this on! Go to reproductiverightsdotgov.com

Y'all don't understand how bad I need these right now. I would kill for the actual recipe. I know they have molasses and probably coconut cream? I can taste it. I just don't know the process. Also why does everyone say they are rock hard? They're all soft and cream filled.

HANG IN THERE BABY!! #art

Y’all I’m gonna tell you something that is going to make you uncomfortable. But in the coming years you will absolutely need the ability to work side by side with someone not 100% ideologically aligned with you.

🚨BREAKING🚨 Leonard Peltier Granted Executive Clemency After 50 years of unjust incarceration and the tireless efforts of intergenerational grassroots organizing and advocacy, our elder and relative Leonard Peltier has been granted executive clemency.

Everyone is asking the wrong question. Instead of asking how all social media sites got captured by the right wing, ask why we ever let ourselves be captured by social media sites in the first place. Personal blogs/websites and RSS exist. It's time we use them again. This was never the right move.
