Elon’s busy schedule today is claiming astronauts were left in the ISS for political reasons, getting corrected by an ISS astronaut, throwing a fit where he calls the astronaut a slur, then complaining that we should deorbit the ISS

History: “Eventually the incompetent fascists invariably lose power and then society recovers in a new and stronger way” Me: “Oh, cool, so what has to happen for the spell to be broken??” History: “mmmm…well, that part is less encouraging.”

happy presidents day

One of our supporters shared this with us—people are getting creative tonight!

thank you, @hankgreen.bsky.social

The only Uncle Sam I support.

Members of Congress were just denied entry to the Department of Treasury. This is a 5 alarm fire.

Chris Murphy: "We don't pledge allegiance to the creepy 22 year olds working for Elon Musk. We pledge allegiance to the United States of America."

We were just told that they won’t let us in. They are denying entry to 2 dozen members of Congress. Elon Musk has all our private information & we have no idea what he’s doing with it. This is happening completely behind closed doors. HELL NO. It’s illegal. We demand oversight!

The Treasury Department right now. People are turning out against Musk and DOGE staging a takeover of the Treasury’s payment system. This crowd is big. The whole block is packed. “Lock him up,” everyone yells.

There it is. NTSB only sending info out via X now. Expect the same from CDC FDA etc. soon.

Elon Musk staff has been caught installing hard drives inside the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), the Treasury Department, and the General Services Administration (GSA).

TRANS RIGHTS ARE HUMAN RIGHTS

One of my absolute favorite things is: Great Horned Owls 🦉 In the evenings I walk my dogs, and their hoot hoot hooots just … calm me. Today one swooped in front of my car, landed on a branch, and looked straight at me. As Rebecca Solnit says: “Everything we can save is worth saving”

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.

A faint glimmer of hope - I’ve only seen one example of someone willing to follow Elon’s footsteps with the salute, and they got consequences for it. Everyone else that’s saying it’s nothing is getting reeeeal quiet when asked to go ahead and do it themselves if that’s not what it was

nobody wants ai

🦅 GOOOOOO BIIIIIIIIIRDS 🦅

“Don’t look for reasons to be unhappy” - that’s really good. And probably a sign to spend less time on social media

I am unreasonably excited for this 😍

"everyone in this business will remember that you stood behind nazis and convicted felons who would further marginalize the very people who gave you a platform." we have no choice but to stan

Nazis are bad. I think we should make that clear.

Same for closed eyes, it’s easier to focus if I can cut down on visual stimulation

Starting a rewatch of Daredevil in preparation for Born Again, and the cold open to start the series goes SO HARD. It’s perfect. I cannot freaking wait for more of this show #daredevil #marvel

that's right

If elon musk is so smart how come he isn’t

AOC: I don’t care what Elon Musk is doing behind the presidential seal, but in this country we hate Nazis. Kind of like a foundational defining thing. Two of the foundational things about American history is that we beat the confederates and we beat the Nazis.

I’m just going to say that AOC is the acting leader of the Democratic Party until someone proves otherwise. At least insofar as she is responding to the moment with leadership.

@nbcnews.com WTAF? We all saw it. You're censorship is going to lose viewers.

Civil disobedience is rarely polite. Fascists don’t politely leave.

This matters. Not because I think Trump is capable of mercy or empathy towards these vulnerable groups. But because it is a public act of defiance. Contrast that with all these other powerful people in this country signaling nothing but appeasement and obedience.

I'm going to post this video every day — especially #MLKDay — so we never forget INSURRECTIONIST TRUMP!
