Sometimes when you’re hiking a wild animal may attack you. You have to decide on the spot whether to play dead or make yourself large and loud. It depends on the animal. Against Trump and Musk you have to go large and loud. If you don’t know that, get off the trail.
This is exactly what I have been saying for a while now. At this point, it’s not left vs right that matters, but fighters vs non-fighters. The Dems, and the American people, need fighters.

Got a printer? You can start fighting fascism. Here's a thread of things you can print and distribute. 👇

I promise doing something--even this--feels better than raging silently. And maybe it'll show you that standing up is possible and open you up to more things you can do.

Watch the whole video. Then watch it again. Watch it until you are angry enough to promise yourself that the next time you see something like this happening, you'll be the person who stands up, not the one who steps aside

Wouldn't it just be a damn shame if EVERYONE emailed their five accomplishments, or 5 thoughts, or insults for Elon, to OPM as they requested of federal employees, thereby crashing the site?

Sounds like good trouble to me. PASS IT ON.

Personally I think it should be impossible for Elon and his lil fash army of engineers to go anywhere in Washington without being confronted by a pro-democracy Brooks Brothers riot and maybe one person with a bullhorn reading aloud everything Vivian has ever said about him, just to be petty

This is so true. And the jank-related game-to-restaurant analogy is 100% spot on.
Jank isn’t necessarily bad in games. Depends on the game. It’s like going to a hole in the wall restaurant where all the furniture is mismatched, the menus are laminated, and then the 68-year-old owner chef brings out the best food you’ve ever eaten on a chipped plate

Do you know why a president would do all the most evil and heinous shit via Executive Order? Because his party can't easily make it law. And if they can't make it law, they can't make it last.

Don't let anyone make you feel like this is The End. Do not let them demoralize you. Live to see them die.
