MN reps introduced a bill attacking Trump opponents of having a made-up mental illness "Trump Derangement Syndrom." They a) aren't qualified to define or dx mental illness, & b) are weaponizing mental health. You see the problem, right?

@smith.senate.gov what are you doing to stop this?

Coward, Republican Senator Roger Marshall walked out of his town hall rather than answer a question about veterans being fired.

Republicans are fools if they think only Dems care about DOGE cuts to vets. This was a town hall in a rural Kansas deep-red district.

I hope other European nations follow suit and help us #resist. Our access to the Northeast Passage will be compromised, impacting our shipping & defense abilities, but this is the way. Hopefully, #NATO will step in so Russia doesn't gain a foothold.

Remember when you're writing your email, to address it to the proper "authority." Here's are some suggestions:

Flair Odor
Edolf Mitler
Pip E Lonazi
#Elon the Terrible

You can also add his minions, the "Nazo merry band of Muskateers"

Friends, one of the best ways we can #resist is to employ their tactics against them: Create so many distractions they can't implement their #coup. This is a simple way to do that. They can't investigate all of us. Create #goodtrouble, regularly.

We can help shift the tide! Wisconsin must have fair electoral maps going forward.

Answer Musk’s money with a blizzard of small donations. Give Musk the finger and support Judge Susan Crawford for the open WI Supreme Court seat. Our democracy depends on it.

Remember, it's National Economic #Boycott day today! 24 hours. Purchase only from #smallbusiness or ethical corporations. No gas (even from mom and pop places bc #BigOil gets the money), no chains, no Amazon, no Walmart, etc. Make your voice heard and #resist!

If you ever wondered how a civilized modern country like Germany could have gone so completely and violently insane, you're looking right at it.

If you're looking for some great databases of the ongoing resistance (as well as some other useful resources) here's a thread of where to start.

Great essay not just on #takedowntesla but how it's working and how it exemplifies direct action (Waging Nonviolence is always worth checking out):
'Tesla Takedown' underscores the importance of moving from protest to resistance
The viral pickets at Tesla showrooms are a necessary first step toward the kind of disruptive tactics that can force change.

BREAKING: Mitch McConnell will not seek re-election.

Let's never forget he is the reason we are in the place we are in today for so many reasons.

From the official WH Xitter account.

#Rebellion is our #duty now. #Resist in every way fathomable. Even the smallest acts help. Anything and everything that sidetracks them from their agenda. Create good trouble. A cornucopia of it. Distract them like they're trying to distract us. The time is now.

You aren’t seeing Black folks at protests because we know Trump will use us as an excuse to start violence—to justify martial law.

Black folks, stay home. Be in peace. Our time will come.

Everyone else, peacefully protest, but understand we won’t be human shields or targets! Don’t ask that of us.
