Poster highlighting the economic blackout (no spend day) on Friday, February 28th.

We’re partnering w/ a number of groups participating in an #economicblackout THIS Friday, 2/28.

Do not spend, if possible.
No Starbucks on your way to work.
No drinks w/ the coworkers after work.
No dining out.
No Walmart run.
No quick McDonald’s drive-thru hit.

Hurt their wallets!

Please understand me when I say that you cannot talk yourself out of criminal charges. You can, however, talk yourself into them.

"I invoke my rights to silence and counsel and will not answer questions without my attorney present" is the ONLY thing you should EVER say to a police officer, EVER.

zionists going full messianic was not on my bingo card.

Raskin: "Elon Musk, you may have illegally seized power over the financial payments systems of the Treasury, but you don't control the money of the American people. The US Congress does that under Article 1 of the Constitution ... we don't have a fourth branch of government called 'Elon Musk'"

How to Keep Tabs on ICE Agents Who May Be Surveilling Your Neighborhood Here’s a step-by-step guide.

This is a great piece.

"As deportations ramp up again, we have a choice: We can watch as our neighbors disappear or we can build on these proven strategies to protect the diverse communities we've built together."

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.

I’ve spent so much time mourning a life I’ll never have.

Now, I’m trying to build a different one, but it sucks thinking of what won’t be.

This is a generational fight. If you think this is going to be fixed after a Blue Wave in 2026, you’re not being realistic. I’m begging you to put down the AI slop memes and be realistic.

I would caution people to stop relying on the Constitution as written to have any meaning other than what the people Trump put on the Supreme Court says it means.

"He can't do that" is not a useful response to the things he's going to do. The correct response is "Will the Court uphold that?"

huh...

Just grabbed it last night & already about half way through. Loving it so far! 📺😱

There's a great book Feminine Fascism that investigates the way that British fascist women during the original fascist movement were early adopters and a majority of fascists in Britain for a while.

I guess I'll play Breath of the Wild until it's time for the first of my three naps today.

Now TikTok is back up for American users with a notice thanking Donald Trump for the extension and Dems continue to look like they got played.

I feel like it's important to point out as a Jew who has been involved in Pro-Palestine spaces both online and irl since long before the current genocide started that although I have encountered some occasional antisemitism, exactly zero of it has been from Palestinians.

It is so discouraging to see that the media hasn't learned a single thing over the past decade. They normalize the absolutely insane things Trump and his surrogates do and treat them as legitimate.

For everyone moving here and talking how it’s so great to be away from Twitter and then following every same old “Resistance” account-

Maybe think about how this site was dominated by trans people who accurately assessed this risk and left Twitter over a year ago and follow them.

A reminder to people that independent bookshops that are coming to here from Twitter are taking a financial risk as that social media outlet is a major factor in marketing and getting sales.
