Photos: See demonstrators around the country rally in 'Hands Off!' protests NPR member station photographers documented what they saw at the demonstrations against the Trump administration, from cuts and layoffs to federal departments, to mass deportations.

Yesterday, millions of people across the country participated in protests at roughly 1400 locations.

This is organic decentralized civil disobedience.

I really really think things are different this time, in comparison to Trump 1.0.

Apropos

White parents should talk to their kids about racism at minimum because racism is a thing that definitely exists.

Gloomy weather today didn’t stop New Yorkers from holding Governor Hochul to account to remove maga’s pawn, Mayor Adams.

Someone shared a video about Yuri Bezmenov’s “Soviet Ideological Subversion of America in Four Stages”. So much of it makes sense. We are well into the destabilization phase. The unconstitutional control of the press, of all media sources (social medial, Ai, etc), education & data sets compound it.

Smh. Now he's just trying to exploit Black comic book creatives with his AI startup. I would have never guessed we'd be here.

On Organizing time to level up / an early draft of a playbook

Over 50% of nonviolent movements to overthrow governments are successful within one year of their peak.

The key is to engage over 3.5% of the country, a cross-section of society—clergy, kids, grandmas, teachers) using DIVERSE & CREATIVE tactics, with women in leadership.

We can do this.

I completely relate. It seems unreal. It’s like strategic chaos.

Passage from Introduction to Whitman's book Hitler's American Model: "Nor, importantly, was it only, or even primarily, the Jim Crow South that attracted Nazi lawyers. In the early 1930s the Nazis drew on a range of American examples, both federal and state. Their America was not just the South; it was a racist America writ much larger. Moreover, the ironic truth is that when Nazis rejected the American example, it was sometimes because they thought that American practices were overly harsh: for Nazis of the early 1930s, even radical ones, American race law sometimes looked *too* racist."

I confess this passage always makes me laugh:

“the ironic truth is that when Nazis rejected the American example, it was sometimes because they thought that American practices were overly harsh: for Nazis of the early 1930s, even radical ones, American race law sometimes looked *too* racist.”

How Jimmy Carter’s Legacy Evolved After His Presidency The 39th president left the White House with his popularity in tatters. But four decades later, he is judged more kindly, in part for what he did after leaving office.

Jimmy Carter left office in 1981 as one of the most unpopular presidents in modern times, seemingly doomed to be remembered as a failed commander in chief. His presidency is now treated more kindly by many historians, in part because of what he did after leaving office.

Winter magic!
