Massive #HandsOff rallies across the country 🔥🔥🔥

I want Cox to come out and argue about why the process he created and championed and his LtGov continues to run is suddenly not worth defending. I would love to hear his reasoning.

They are saying that there have been cases where the franchisee buys a franchise, is told they don’t have to be open on Sunday (doing the due diligence you say they should) and then the franchisor changes the deal and demands they be open. Why is the franchisor right in this situation?

Went to a rally against hate this morning at Herriman City Hall. Lots of people showed up. I’m proud to stand against the proud boy chuds. They don’t own this country and they don’t speak for this community

One of the most powerful tools in a fascist's arsenal is everyone else's desire to play along with the existing system. They're the ones breaking all the rules, betting on the fact no one else will.

Kamala gets the nom: “this is subverting the will of the voters!!! They didn’t cast a ballot for her!!!”

We are members of Congress at the Treasury Department. We want to be let in to provide oversight on behalf of our constituents. @jasmineforus.bsky.social @sethmagaziner.bsky.social

As much as we may wish to deny it, we are often motivated by fear more than anything else. It is a hard way to live. But true warriors pledge to meet those fears shoulder to shoulder, to stand against them together. In doing so, we are motivated against fear, not by it.

I was led to believe by R.E.M. that I would feel a lot better about this.

2/2. In an interview with Jon Stewart, AOC said that D’s have a real issue with this sort of hierarchical, “they’ve been around so they’re owed positions” sort of culture and that’s exactly what this sounds like. You acknowledge we need young D’s to care. They tapped a young D to help with that.

What are you even arguing for here? It sounds like you acknowledge that there are young Democrats out there making change in the party. Sounds like you welcome that in your group. Why don’t you trust the voting members of the DNC to recognize the young democrats that are doing good elsewhere? 1/2

July 6, 1944: Lt. Jackie Robinson Refuses to Give Up Seat on Bus While stationed at Camp Hood in Texas, Lieutenant Jackie Robinson refused to give up his seat on the bus and was court-martialed.

📣 Many people remember Jackie Robinson for breaking racial barriers in MLB.

In 1944 he refused to move from his seat to go to the back of the buss & he was court maritaled.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.

Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too.

Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more.

Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.

Opportunities are everywhere.

Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

One TV show per day for 20 days, in no particular order, gifs only. 20/20

Saved the best for last but there aren’t a ton of gifs for it. If you are an artist or love finding beauty in the world and you haven’t seen Dispatches from Elsewhere, you are missing out.

“I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.
"No shit," said Gandalf, "It isn't as if most people wish for this kinda of fuckshit to rain down on them. It sucks. It totally sucks. Why do you think I have so much 'pipeweed' on me at all times? C'mon now."

So, to be clear: there are fundamental differences between bio men/women, keeping women safe is super important, and we need to MAHA but we’re not going to study how drugs react differently in women’s bodies. Got it. 👍🏻👍🏻

And looking artistic in the off time. ;)

if any Democrats besides AOC want to weigh in about the misrule that's already been prevalent over this first week that'd be pretty cool

This is happening to thousands of people fighting for their lives because in real life, government does a lot of good and important shit.

I don’t have a penis but this seemed really disruptive, especially if it is a really hard boner. Wouldn’t it just wake you up whenever you moved?

I make my 12 year old do it. 🫣

Take back your attention.
