While some choose to spend their time trolling people online, the rest of us have important work to do - with and for our families, friends, neighbors, communities, and democracy itself. 🧡 5 | 6

To be clear, trolling is NOT the same as a healthy difference of opinion or good faith debate. Whether as knowing or unwitting participants, coordinated groups or loners, these trolls act as agents of chaos, meant to disrupt our ability to communicate, organize, and continue building power. 🧡 4 | 6

In response to the massive turnout for No Kings, a wave of right-wing trolling has been unleashed across social media. 🧡 3 | 6

Unfortunately, the MAGA regime fears our joyful demonstrations as a direct threat to their authoritarian takeover. Afterall, a hopeless, distracted population is easier to control than a society where the people are free to express creativity, fellowship, and community empowerment. ! 🧡 2 | 6

A government ban on Hungary’s Pride parade backfired Saturday as over 100,000 people marched through Budapest, far more than usual

PM Viktor Orban warned people to stay away, threatening β€œclear legal consequences.” But the warnings only turned a modest event into a mass rally against his government

Stay Human: 80 Tiny Moves for Everyday Resistance in the Authoritarian Harm Complex
What if staying human is one of the most powerful and most unappreciated forms of resistance? Shaping tomorrow and defeating tyranny takes more than big protest events and macro strategies.

Does the idea of calling your representative - with your phone and voice - fill you with dread? (I have to remind myself that regret & fascism is so much worse!) @5calls.org is a helpful resource that can make the process more impactful and also a little less scary.

In 2017, we only had 6 Democratic trifecta states.

Today, we have 15 Democratic trifecta states and we control even more mayorships and city councils.

There’s enormous opportunity to go on offense to protect our rights & offer a safe-haven to red state residents under threat: indivisible.org/guide

The event was awesome, thanks for posting this video! I was referred to a video on your Threads account of the line at Kiley's office, and would love to share it here and on Facebook. Would it be possible for you to post it on Bluesky?

Thank you for your advocacy & activism!!!
