Seeing #hamilten was a different vibe on Sunday, after attending #nokings on Saturday.

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

Crockett: I am tired of the white tears. When you compare me to Marjorie Taylor Greene or me to Lauren Boebert, there is no comparison. So the only people that are crying are the mediocre white boys that have been beaten out by people that historically have had to work so, so much harder

Any four Republican Senators could stop this at any time simply by threatening to block all action (or even caucus with the Democrats) if Trump doesn't make certain concessions.

They won't, but that should be a much bigger story than whether the Democrats are doing everything that *they* can.

That's why we should stay focused on the coup. Senators can end it. They have also got a vested interest. They are losing power; their private info & data has also been stolen. Give them NO Peace. There are more of us than them

Remember when a single senator, Tommy Tuberville, held up ALL military promotions for months and months, despite sustained opposition even from some of his Republican colleagues?

We need EVERY DEMOCRATIC SENATOR doing EVERYTHING THEY CAN to slow down and stop this administration.

Dems are introducing legislation to prevent unlawful access to the Dept. of Treasury and 20 lawsuits have already been filed challenging 11 executive orders.

LFG!

🚨 Senator Murphy:
β€œThis is a constitutional crisis that we are in today. Let's call it what it is. We are weaker today than we were yesterday. China sees that, Russia sees that.”

‼️ We must all raise our voices! If you’re typing away here & not calling your Sens. & Reps., then what r u waiting for?

What Trump and Musk are doing to USAID is just the beginning. The Department of Education is next.

We will take every action in our power to fight back and stand in their way.

For some reason, I just got into the TT app and see only one of your videos, about the person that was body slammed and had his hat stolen. It's 12:40pm EST on 1/19. I can't access the comments or like the video, or scroll, but I can see and rewatch that one video.

Trump is trying to come out as a hero for β€˜restoring’ TikTok.
Don’t fall for it!
This is all about controlling media.

And now our voices are silenced by the ones with the wallets to buy people.

I heard there are a lot of articles coming out about "Tik Tok addiction" and "babies whining" about the banning of Tik Tok in the US. I hope to see more articles from people who understand what's really at stake here.
