We all know this attack is wrong.

We gotta laugh y’all. Humor is an essential component in fighting the regime. Show their ridiculousness. Call out the stupidity. When we laugh - instead of cower - WE have the power.

Sometimes it’s good to put things in perspective, for instance if you assume our country was once a caterpillar and that it will one day in the future be a butterfly, then that means we’re in the “indeterminable disgusting metamorphic goo” phase right now and that feels like it tracks

(( A non-political post - yay! ))
We just binged-watched Wonder Man last night and wow - what a delight! Damn good writing & outstanding acting. 10s across the board!

You can feel it turning.

I’m here!

Ian Austin, an Army veteran, was arrested for protesting ICE in Minneapolis. But he’s continued protesting. Senior reporter @julialurie.bsky.social spoke to him.

“When they say, ‘Why would you be out here?’ How the fuck could I not be out here?” he says. “My nation is under attack."

He was EXECUTED YouTube video by PoliticsGirl

This video should upset you. I am raging. Get f*cking angry! Then take that energy & DO SOMETHING. Act. Donate. Speak the f*ck out. WE must change this.

Fuck yeah, Minneapolis. You. Are. Epic.

Truth! Don't pretend this is normal.

Not Acceptable

Today is a day we honor MLK's legacy. But we must still work *every day* to fight for the social justice he (and countless others) have fought for.

Great turnout today for a quickly organized peace vigil in Santa Rosa. Stop ICE for Good!

creenshot of an X.com post by Dan Koh claiming Trump is spending $30B on 10,000 more ICE agents, listing alternative uses for the money (ACA subsidies, ending prescription copays, eliminating medical debt) and criticizing the policy. Below the text is a TV news screenshot with a ‘Breaking News’ banner about a shooting in Minneapolis and on-screen text reading ‘$30 BILLION…’.

Priorities matter. So do elections. Vote the GOP out!

Just ordered some whistles and bumper stickers. Let's raise awareness and get in some good trouble.

Bridges Too Far The Trump White House is going out too far and could collapse its own fascist agenda.

Really appreciate Jay Kuo's take on what's happening right now. Hope remains.

I adored Andor for many reasons, but this speech from a resistance fighter overlaid with what’s happening now, in our galaxy, right here… is everything.

I really appreciate Mary Geddry's synopsis of ALL THE THINGS. It's exhausting, but the bare minimum we can do is to keep our attention on what's happening. Awareness > Action!

Yes, we will have elections. An excellent explainer.

The Numbers Are Up. The Country Isn’t. Congress panics, bankruptcies rise, Ukraine offers democracy, and Trumpworld runs from process servers

#GDP gaslighting, rising bankruptcies, #ICE quotas, Ukraine bending while Russia doesn’t, and a #Trump family allergic to discovery. #uspolitics #kakistocracy #authoritarianism

Donald Trump is losing. Seven conclusions as 2025 winds down.

OMG - the extended cut of Return of the King with Meri & Pippin made it SO much better!

But jeez… I hope you have enough Elven waybread to sustain you through First Breakfast, Second Breakfast, Elevenses, Luncheon, Tea, Dinner, and Supper as you watch!

What a great day to make some good trouble! Went with family & friends to the #NoKings rally in Petaluma. HUGE turnout. The march went on for blocks and blocks. So awesome to see everyone out on the streets saying NO to authoritarianism & YES to democracy!

There are more of us than there are of them—and we know our right to assemble peacefully and protest. I’m counting on my fellow Americans to prove that at the No Kings protest on Oct. 18.

Just cancelled our Hulu/Disney+ subscription. I’m not going to support their “anticipatory obedience” if they’re not going to support our 1st Amendment rights!

We're witnessing the most aggressive, fanatical crackdown on free speech in my lifetime. The speed and breadth of government censorship and private sector and nonprofit capitulation has been astonishing. As has the lack of urgency/silence from people who've long claimed to care about this stuff.

They want us fighting so we never notice who is stealing from us all. Don’t get lost in the circus.

Great turnout at 6pm on a Thursday night in Novato, CA! Lots of honks for justice.

Let’s keep the spirit of Rep. John Lewis & the fight for justice alight!
