Trump firing the Archivist of the US is a big effing deal. This, more than any other firing, is the canary in the coal mine. A president has never fired an Archivist in the 100 yr history of having this position. What are the Archivist’s duties? A 🧵:

My true love. ❤️

Is there really any question?

West Point orders certain student groups to disband in compliance with Trump EO. The list includes Asian-Pacific Forum, National Society of Black Engineers, Native American Heritage Forum, and Society of Women Engineers. Reporters covering mil, defense, natsec beats... seems like a big deal.

This past Sunday our church: - commissioned a queer woman as a pastor - taught our students that bodies are good and sacred - made Valentines for nursing home residents - launched a fund for DC workers who lost wages due to Trump/Elon The resistance lives on in small but significant acts of love.

If you thought Trump was dangerous… Hello Elon.

A few things Trump just made more expensive for you: Gas Cars TVs iPhones Xboxes Avocados Strawberries Furniture Power tools Modelo Refrigerators Microwaves Clothes Bananas Tequila Maple syrup

I love how he basically pops off after winning!

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too. Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more. Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.

Trump ordered all federal employees to resign immediately—one week to decide. Resign for 7 months’ pay or risk termination without notice. A blatant move to gut the government and install loyalists. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

We are living in a time where we need loud, public outcry AND underground action. Speak up when you can, resist covertly when necessary. And when you feel hopeless, remember that organizing and planning are all around, even when it can’t be broadcast.

One thing about me is that I will fight Nazis until I’m six feet in the ground.

I stand with the trans community. I stand with the LGBTQ+ community. I stand with all immigrants. I stand with all women & survivors. I stand the poor, the vulnerable & the marginalized. And I plan to resist.
