Please stop attributing Musk's behavior to "drugs." People who use, struggle with, and rely on drugs have enough problems right now -- they are also humans.

I really need everyone to stop thinking in terms of laws and procedures and start thinking in terms of power and balance of forces. Like, yes, they intend to instruct the military to repress the people. They always did. The moves they're making are increasing the likelihood of army refusal

The Deadly Medicaid Cascade The poor will suffer and die. That's a feature, not a bug of Medicaid cuts. States like Massachusetts will try to fill the funding gap, which will lead states to cut other programs. #mapoli #fascism

Just a reminder that fascists, authoritarians, dictators of all stripes destroy archives— books, museums, databases, &c— because those things provide windows onto a plurality of other ways we might organize the world. And so preserving, defending, and spreading that knowledge harms those regimes.

One of the simplest and most important things you can do for anyone in your life is have them switch to Democracy Now's daily news podcast instead of the NPR or New York Times daily podcasts. Just that little change in propaganda exposure dramatically improves people's lives.

I was introduced to anarchism thru punk & remember being shocked that all punks weren't anarchists (I knew that all anarchists weren't punks!). Subculture has its limitations & is not a be-all-end-all, but there is power in it, too. Appreciate @margaret.bsky.social coming in w/ that perspective!

This feels like it was cooked up in a lab to decimate the GOP so the fact that the Democrats will do nothing with it should make their true priorities clear to you

I think people should take more time to proofread before posting. The typos turn too easily into different words with autocorrect which makes it difficult to understand. It's also OK to delete and repost to correct mistakes. Your engagement will recover.

I spent today trying to encapsulate how I felt about the Trump administration's concerted campaign to remove transgender people from existence across the federal bureaucracy, what may be coming next and what steps if any can be taken to push back. I'll be updating this regularly.

People need to understand this is a smash and grab. The billionaire oligarchs are looting the government right now. While most services and functions will be privatized and made worse, the real valuable heist is the data government has that Elon is stealing to feed his AI company.

We “must move beyond doomscrolling, panic, and online denunciation, and figure out how to take action where we are, when we can. We will all have roles to play as this coup continues. One thing is clear: This society cannot be allowed to function on Musk’s terms.”

I talk a lot about energy because as someone who is chronically ill, it’s extremely important for me to decide where to use it because I don’t have that much. I’ve gotten extremely efficient at it through being able to focus on what will help the most people and spur action in them. Then it ripples

A simple shift from "I told you so" to "I was scared this would happen" is an opening. Follow that up with, "how can I help" and links and numbers to immigrant rights orgs, labor orgs, and community health and you are, in fact, building solidarity.

We either grit our teeth, scale up our mutual aid, + brace to lose so many people to dungeons, exile, murder, and suicide, or we hit the streets so fucking hard we enter The Cool Zone, which will also require us scaling up our mutual aid, so, scaling up our mutual aid is a good call for right now
