I made this the other night while procrastinating, mainly because I thought all the posts about the blackout were boring. It feels like there is momentum bringing people together!

We have been careful to avoid using the word coup, but it’s time to call it what it is—this is a coup. Trump signed an executive order granting only the attorney general or the president the authority to interpret laws executed by the executive branch.

President Trump's efforts to cut the federal workforce by 10% might not save as much money as hoped and could have unintended consequences. NPR explains why.

The next few weeks are going to feel overwhelming. We’re going to suffer temporary losses on issues we care about.

We’re going to face what comes next together. Not passively, but defiantly. We’re going to pick our fights, fuel backlash, and organize the pro-democracy majority to reclaim its power.
Here we go.
Today, Indivisibles are engaged in MLK Day service projects in the communities we’re going to spend the next few years giving our all to…

10/ Is there reason to panic? NO. Democracies collapse but the fight for just government continues. We should be prepared for all outcomes, and we should *fight smart.* Let's talk first about resources to *stay informed*:

The *least* you can do:

Refuse to patronize businesses that (1) disrespect Jimmy Carter - and the law - and (2) seek to ingratiate themselves to the orange shitgibbon & his flying monkeys by raising their flag to full staff before Jan. 28.

Hi everyone.

The Onion, with the help of the Sandy Hook families, has purchased InfoWars.

We are planning on making it a very funny, very stupid website.

We have retained the services of some Onion and Clickhole Hall of Famers to pull this off.

I can't wait to show you what we have cooked up.
The Onion Buys Alex Jones’s Infowars Out of Bankruptcy
The satirical news site planned to turn Infowars into a parody of itself, mocking “weird internet personalities” who peddle conspiracy theories and health supplements.
