Even if all you can do is donate to mutual aid groups, that's something.

Doing something is the only way to combat the hopelessness. There are so many ways to do something.

Dear Vance,

If you don't want to be called a Nazi then stop consolidating executive power, building concentration camps, supporting genocide, and targeting the LGBTQ+ community. Those are all Nazi style activities. Don't act like a Nazi and people will stop calling you one.

Having a joke end up in that group on reddit should be everyone's goal. Well played.

A screenshot of a social media post from Greg Abbott. The text says: "This is what happened to the person who was mocking Charlie Kirk’s assassination at Texas Tech. FAFO." The attached image shows a young woman with long braids, wearing a patterned tank top and jeans, being handcuffed by two police officers in uniform. Her facial expression looks tense as she turns her head. Below, Abbott’s earlier post is quoted: "Definitely picked the wrong school to taunt the death of Charlie Kirk. Thanks Texas Tech." The post shows thousands of replies, retweets, and likes.

A screenshot of a social media post from Eric Daugherty. The text says: "🚨 UPDATE: It's being reported that this demon who danced on Charlie Kirk's grave has been expelled from Texas Tech. She said: 'f-ck y'all, yo homie dad!' They're finding out." Below is a still from a video showing a college campus walkway with students standing around. A woman with long hair, a backpack, and a tank top is at the center. On-screen text in the video reads: "Woke college student at Texas Tech mocks Charlie Kirk’s dath. 'Fck y’all... yo homie d*ad'. Make her famous." The post notes it was reshared from Gabriel and shows 3.5M views.

It may be distasteful but it is not illegal to mock someone's death and it should not warrant arrest, ever. The 1st Amendment exists specifically to protect disfavored speech and what is happening now is one of the greatest threats to free speech in the United States.

Just Say No, NIH: Why NIH Employees Should Consider Refusing to Terminate Grants They could cite existing law, lower court opinions, and the Supreme Court opinions. The risk of pushing back is real. But not pushing back risks harming science and the country.

"Just Say No, NIH": new post from us.

If and when NIH employees are ordered to terminate grants, besides complying or resigning they have a third option: they can just say no.

There is great personal risk.

But as lower court judges and KBJ said, the terminations are illegal. 1/

Ice arresting people who are actually serving their community. I hope they never sleep again. I hope their food all tastes like chalk. I hope their families disown them.

Sandwich guy escapes indictment due to jury nullification!

Have you encountered the trolli gummie worm popsicles? Amazing.

We're out here flushing 160000 lbs of trash.

This ai trash to defend AI trash is so bad.

Disabled people aren’t the enemy.

Trans people aren’t the enemy.

Immigrants aren’t the enemy.

Stop allowing the fascists to dictate who you’re willing to sacrifice.

Refuse to see anyone as expendable.

We aren’t safe until everyone is safe.

He said he was going to do this months ago. It's illegal, disgusting, and will be used to target political opponents. Democracy is dying.

Where is he? If we stop asking, stop demanding his return, we are complicit in his disappearance.

meme format where a man from an anime is looking at a butterfly and asks if it's a pigeon, but instead the man is Americans, the butterfly is labeled "basic human rights” and the quote is "is this communism?"

probably a good time to bring this back

Considering the news this morning we've definitely been down this road before. When your domestic policy is unpopular, it's time for a war! That's the American way!

It feels like we've been down this road before...

It works when many do it, not when just a handful of people do. Know before you go if your crew is blocing and dress accordingly. If the crew isn't blocing, then doing so will single you out, rather than keep you safe.

Anyone who wants you to *publicly commit to doing actual crimes*, on social media, is not a serious person. They're either a dilettante or a Fed.

Historically, when extraordinary actions turned out to be necessary, those who did them didn't boast about it before they did it. They kept quiet.

🚨 After months of defiance of court orders (and the Supreme Court) and claims under oath from cabinet level officials that they would never bring him back, the Trump admin blinks; Kilmar Abrego Garcia is being brought back to the U.S., where he can finally get some due process.

A new study by van Westen et al. shows that the #tippingpoint of the Atlantic overturning circulation #AMOC is also found in a high-resolution ocean model which resolves ocean eddies. No surprise to AMOC experts, but it's so computationally expensive to show that this hasn't been done before. 🌊🧵

Abolish ICE.

Cowards need to show their faces and stand by their criminal actions.

The fact that they're even listening to arguments here and didn't just toss out the administration's appeals is already a bad sign.
