I’m telling you @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, please watch this. This is the energy. Not egg prices and book tours and strongly worded letters. It’s time to take the gloves off.
Just watched an excellent doc from @moreperfectunion.bsky.social about how much Musk needs FAA approval & fed contracts for SpaceX. Please filibuster @warren.senate.gov @sanders.senate.gov @schumer.senate.gov @padilla.senate.gov

I introduced legislation to strengthen CA’s protections for trans people who are targeted by other states, the feds or bad actors for prosecution or abuse of health info.
The bill also protects trans folks’ families, teachers & health providers, all of whom are being threatened by Trump & company.🧵
So here’s my #JuicyThot: resist the urge to look away. Speak up to others on the insanity coming out of the WH. Call your elected officials & hold them accountable for their actions (and inactions). Don’t panic. Take care of yourself & family. It will be a long fight. 2026 midterms are almost here!
On Thursdays, we share some #JuicyThots. The POTUS has declared himself a king, posting an AI generated image of him wearing a Queen’s Crown. His co-President Elon Musk is busy gutting the federal agencies investigating his companies. Trump wants to end the Ukrainian-Russian war by siding w/ Russia.
Everything looks like DEI when all you have is a racist hammer
Have you built an ADU in California? I reeeally really want to hear all about it. Tell me more here: www.sfchronicle.com/personal-fin...
Due to massive public pressure & us fighting back, the White House has rescinded their illegal Republican Rip Off.
We won this battle, but the war against Projects 2025 is still on. They stopped Medicaid, food stamps, & much more. We made that stop temporary, but they will try again.
Chúc mừng năm mới! Happy New Year! May the Year of the Snake bring much wisdom, strength, and transformation to you and your loved ones! May we shed the old habits and ways that no longer serve us, and may we conserve our energies to strike when the time is right in the fights ahead. #LunarNewYear

ATTN: Meals on Wheels is federally funded. Please donate, or better yet, check on your neighbors to see if they need food! www.mealsonwheelsamerica.org/learn-more/n...
Trump just paused all federal spending to our communities. Why? He needs to free up money to give corrupt billionaires and corporations tax cuts. Meanwhile, Republicans in Congress are cheering him on.
The golden age for the richest and the dark ages for working people.
The past few days have been a lot. Remember to take a deep breath and keep organizing. There's a lot of power in people power.
I heard that quote and was like? Who? Youth came out overwhelmingly for Harris. This guy is trying to erase all the organizing that turned out youth voters.
Week 2 of Drumpf Presidency: how does it feel like a month has gone by in these 7 days? Maybe bc they are throwing everything at the wall to see what sticks? From what I’ve read, we need to just keep calm and carry on. Focus on your work, support community, and hold the line! We will need allies.
How do we respond to the hatred and fascism coming out of the White House? W/ plain jane humility, respect, & non-violence. It disarms the liars & thieves & criminals that are trying to incite outrage. We must lead with heart and soul to expose their inhumanity. And we must do so unapologetically.
Take back your attention.
Trump just sent a very loud message that there is no rule of law for his supporters, just like there is no rule of law for him.
I’m so proud to know Bäri from law school.
SHARE WIDELY.
KNOW YOUR RIGHTS.
With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights.
You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one.

Focus. This is the only way to get through the next four years with our fragile democracy intact. It frightens me, but I think we can do it. We must be like a drag queen and steel ourselves and perform like we’ve never performed before. #ThePowerOfLove #JuicyThots
I have also been reading MLK’s Why We Can’t Wait. We need everyone to contribute in their own way to combat the coming onslaught. “The fierce urgency of now” never felt so prophetic. I know I am committed to building new coalitions & strengthening existing ties, but we must stop all the drama & 5/
line & defend undocumented immigrant workers who keep our economy growing. Activists must collaborate & organize to build lasting coalitions that build power through direct action in nonviolent protest in the streets that supplement the impact litigation that will work its way through our courts 4/
The cruelty & disregard for our shared humanity of the Trump/Vance administration. We need more pastors to speak out & plead for mercy. Artists & cultural institutions & entertainers must band together & reach audiences to show the injustices that are coming. State and local leaders must hold the 3/
I spent MLK Weekend in Vegas for my 10th Sin City Classic with #BigGayFrisbee —a welcome distraction from the inauguration. As a staunch #Progressive, we must find a way to respond to the rightward movement towards fascism & attacks on our most vulnerable communities w/ something that will expose 2/
For my first post on BlueSky, I am going to treat this more like my personal #JuicyThots mini blog experience. I have had the most emotional rollercoaster of a start to 2025– from the anxiety and dread of the 2nd Trump era to the LA fires and unexpected passing of my dear friend & organizer Allyn 1/
