Young people in NYC absolutely showed out and there should be 1000 articles and profiles about this. Because we have had to put up with 1000 MAGA diner stories for years now.

I need more people to understand the movement that could be brewing here in Georgia if this young man only lost by 87 votes in COBB COUNTY.

I think that this is an important image and it says so much about this country.

I'm sorry that this wasn't their first instinct AND I'm sorry that they didn't immediately throw the "agreements" in the fascists' faces but better late than never, I guess.
Several Texas state House Democrats plan to rip up the written agreements that allowed them to leave the chamber with a police escort on Monday and return to the House floor Tuesday night, the caucus announced.

I have no more capacity to organize but one very useful thing that people could do in their individual states is to track all of the "DHS Gestapo recruitment fairs" over the next few years and then organize direct actions at each fair. Show up with posters telling folks not to sign up etc...

I keep seeing "Gavin is so cute how he's standing up to 🍊" videos so I made one to remind y'all that we are NOT doing that. He's questioned trans athletes and is all for criminalizing homelessness. Just no.

Good service design is not about shiny websites — it’s about giving people options, like filing retirement and disability claims over the phone. If DOGE had succeeded, they would have prevented Americans from accessing the benefits they deserve.

@alt18f.bsky.social saved taxpayers billions, modernized digital services, and made government work better. 💡Now, DOGE has shut it down—eliminating projects that served voters, refugees, military personnel, and more. Read about 18F’s impact ⬇️

Reminder to folks: if you see someone trolling in my comments, the best thing to do is "don't engage, just block." Jerks thrive on your outrage, and I will hide your responses after I block them. Save us both the effort! Ignore them! Block them! Then you'll never see 'em again, and they get nothing.
