I’m on the worst bank customer service journey of my life with @capitalone.bsky.social 7 phone calls and one in person visit have not solved the problem. It’s giving big bank customer abuse during the Great Recession vibes.

TODAY WE MOBILIZED OVER 3 MILLION PEOPLE ACROSS THE NATION!!!
This movement has entered the next chapter: the people will mobilize again, and again, until we make a difference.
It only takes 3.5% of the population in a sustained resistance in order to make a difference.

Creating great public spaces does so much for communities, including helping us recover after disaster.

We expected 2,000 people out in GOP-held Greeley, Colorado.
11,000 people showed up.
Something special is happening, folks. Now is the time to organize in every dimension possible and get to work.

Introducing Elon Musk into commercial aviation safety will be disastrous. Both Tesla & SpaceX have been cited by the US government for numerous safety failings.
Pair that with misleading advertising and you see a total disregard for the safety of the public.

The freezing of federal grants, the firing of all inspector generals, the immunization of political violence - does everybody not see what’s happening?
In a blitzkrieg, Trump is trying to collapse our democracy - and probably our economy - and seize control.
