The Third Reich didn't last 1,000 years.

Pinochet was ousted with a referendum.

And the US isn't exactly dealing with the smartest, most competent fascists.

Those of you insisting that 2025 is forever need to read a book, touch grass, go to therapy, anything other than trying to make others quit.

This week in the House Oversight Committee, I spoke about parallels between Japanese internment camps during WWII and what is happening in our broken asylum and immigration

Folks trying to save USAID are trying to counterprogram Musk's $40 million Super Bowl ad. They're asking everyone to share this video as widely as you can today: www.youtube.com/watch?v=PqUE...

Aww thank you Tracey! Suzanne got one of my first thank-you letters when I wrote mine...

100% this. They’re dweebs. Be a hero. Bully them.

I’m just gonna say it.

🗣️None of this awful shit would be happening if folks would have voted for the super qualified Black Lady🤷🏾‍♀️

Literally…none of it .

It's like watching the War of the Worlds aliens approach across the horizon, sucking up one critical government body after the next

No, California. And local office VMs also screwy.😣

Yes - I did the same as you, but I have no idea if they’ll be able to understand what I said. Try calling the local offices for the reps, although in my case, those mailboxes were full too.

This this this. We are already inside the crisis.

Hi Bluesky - I have a monthly newsletter. February's is all about putting in the reps to build the hope we need for the days to come. us20.campaign-archive.com?u=36691b17c8... (Be prepared, every month some song title fights to the front of my brain and says "I'M PERFECT AS YOUR HEADLINE") #Hope

Every time I remember Stephen Miller designed this rush of orders to burn me out specifically I get a new burst of energy from the spite alone. The very thought of my exhaustion giving him an ounce of joy makes me want to burst through walls

In honor of black history month, I will be doing a daily thread of James Baldwin quotes. If you have never heard of the late great Mr Baldwin, he was a trailblazer in so many ways. If the weather is crappy where you are might I suggest “I Am Not Your Negro” a 2016 documentary.

Exclusive: Musk aides lock government workers out of computer systems at US agency, sources say Aides to Elon Musk charged with running the U.S. government human resources agency have locked career civil servants out of computer systems that contain the personal data of millions of federal employees, according to two agency officials.

This is a hostile takeover of the federal government by a private citizen of unlimited means with no restrictions and no transparency. Welcome to the Deep State www.reuters.com/world/us/mus...

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.

Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO
