Love the way every day is a firehose of evil, usually directed at children.
The EPA cancelled grants that would help us understand how children are affected by climate change.

The agency response: Maybe Biden and Harris "shouldn’t have forced their radical agenda of wasteful DEI programs and ‘environmental justice.'"

The belief that poverty and homelessness are about "individual choices" didn't arise on its own. It was manufactured through decades of messaging designed to protect the policies and interests that create mass precarity.

As this new poll shows, that propaganda campaign has been wildly successful.
Most US adults think individual choices keep people in poverty, new AP-NORC/Harris poll finds
A new AP-NORC poll finds that most U.S. adults think personal choices are a major driver of poverty and homelessness, while fewer blame a lack of government support.

From Saturn.

We're that slightly brighter star at centre right.

Liberals are going to get us all killed. Do not let them spin their #Resist outrage machine and push despair. Ignore them.

Focus your time and energy on the local, the people around you. Do not despair. Organize and fight back. We don’t all need to do every thing, we just need to do something(s).
Nothing happening today should be a surprise. The ruling class has never hid who they are. Fascism has been here.

Don't get caught up in the outrage machine - this is what they are going to do every day for the next 4+ years.

I used to work for an elected official as the person who answered their emails. I can tell you from personal experience, if even twenty or thirty people all call an official in a day, they start panicking. This stuff does help.
I know you hate this advice. I know you hear it all the time, but for gods sake you need to be calling your congressperson. Now. Today.

If you have a GOP representative, you need to call and ask if they approve of stripping congress of its constitutional authority. If they like being powerless.

Fascists are dangerous and we should not downplay that, BUT!

They're also the most colossal dumbasses on the planet and it is good, right, and effective to point and laugh at them. 🤣

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.

Opportunities are everywhere.

Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

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.

For sheer impact in this country, it was probably the Taylor Swift ERAs tour. And she's earned her flowers.

For me personally, though, it was the Star Wars series, ANDOR.
That series channeled both dread of sliding towards authoritarianism and the hope that some would keep fighting against it.
