The mood is still pretty down about Trump and his agenda.

Let me give some context.

The number of organizations, resources, activists, artists all coordinating together *already* would be a monumental achievement in most of the world's dictatorships.

We have the people & ideas. Let's light the 🔥.

Pretty damn good framing for Dems
How much Elon Musk makes from the government a day: $8 million.

How much a senior on Social Security gets a day: $65

Guess which budget Musk and Trump want to cut?

Have this picture of my squirrel friend breaking into the bird feeder. Since cutting back on social media I’ve been exploring some “boring” hobbies, such as feeding the neighborhood critters.

Together, we will reshape this country. This will NOT go down the way they expect it to. We've seen the playbook and I feel that many are waking up. The resistance is alive and we will make this country better than it is.

As someone who has researched authoritarian movements, this is 100% true.

There is a mythology of the evil dictator who sees 8 moves ahead (Hunger Games, etc).

Dictators are fallible & their demand for loyalty creates both resentment and incompetence.

But it will require work.
You are not powerless, and he is not unstoppable. Look at, and learn from, the funding freeze and how quickly he was forced to surrender.

Fucking ridiculous but not surprised. Death is not only one the agenda it will become a norm for this administration.
Donold is blaming a plane crash that killed 67 people on “DEI” with zero evidence.

He is attempting to use racism to deflect from the fact it is HIS fault. He had just removed 100 FAA senior officials.

It’s been 11 days and there are 67 bodies in the Potomac in Washington DC because of him.

If you’re a Democrat and you’re still aiming your fucking fire at Joe Biden kindly fuck all the way off.

The Day One Dictator said he is building a detention camp for 30,000 people.

Any #librarian friends on here? I totally think that librarians across the countries should stage 'Read-In' events where people gather at libraries all across the country and read banned books.

Dear Ministers in America,

Bishop Budde did something awe-inspiring, something sadly rare, and something you are also capable of doing.

Sunday is here.

May you greet it with courage.
