BREAKING: A federal court blocked the Trump-Vance administration’s attempt to cut off food assistance for 42 million people during the ongoing government shutdown.

We'll keep fighting to ensure that federal programs serve their lawful purpose: to help, not harm, people and communities.

The richest man on earth owns X.

The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros.

The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post.

See the problem here?

This is nightmarish.

Thirty to forty-plus inches more rain.

No community is designed/built to shrug off teh flooding that come from that kind of deluge.

Speaker Johnson should be removed for violating the Constitutional rights of AZ-2, and by extension the rights of all Americans by keeping the House adjourned. The People have business to attend to! Administrate the oath and let all go on record on releasing the Epstein files!

How much is Trump spending on his new ballroom?

Green party reaches 100,000 members for first time after Polanski becomes leader Green party in England and Wales has had near-50% rise in membership since Zack Polanski took over last month The Greens in England and Wales have more than 100,000 members for the first time, the party has announced, a near-50% rise since Zack Polanski took over as leader last month. It puts them on a potential course to overtake the Conservatives and comes little more than a week after the Greens announced they had moved past the Liberal Democrats in membership numbers, getting to 83,500.

Business Insider headline reads: UPS is telling customers that their packages coming to the US are marked for destruction.

Business Insider headline reads: UPS is telling customers that their packages coming to the US are marked for destruction.

About a month ago, the Trump administration got rid of the de minimis exemption, whereby packages valued under $800 could slide in without import duties. Now there's a backlog as the government can't process all of this paperwork, leading to UPS just destroying packages

Whistling when ICE is about to kidnap someone for no reason is incredibly effective. They know what they are doing is wrong and will scatter in the wind when too many witnesses gather.

plainlanguage.gov | Home Plain language makes it easier for the public to read, understand, and use government communications.

Many people noticed plainlanguage.gov was migrated to digital.gov/topics/plain..., where it has been *consolidated*.

Our friends at @alt18f.bsky.social posted a version of the original content at plainlanguage.18f.org

Unlike other sites that have disappeared, this one just changed.

We are organizing tirelessly to build another world and save lives along the way. But we need your help. Will you join us and tell a friend?

At Moonlight, we are leaning on this history to build new power. Thousands of federal workers are being pushed out of work today, but their skills are not lost, and their vision must not be silenced. If we all pitch in some, we can leverage these skills to stay safe and build big power together.

In the USSR, Ukrainians set up freedom schools to teach kids real history to circumvent propaganda. In Brazil, the MST movement set up β€œcountry stores” to provide fresh food to reach more people. In Delhi, the opposition party built medical clinics to care for residents amidst skyrocketing costs.

All over the world, when a small group of elites have taken over governments and killed health and food programs, the parallel response has been highly effective.

When oligarchs gut rural hospitals, we’ll organize medical clinics with union nurses. When politicians defund schools, we’ll distribute books. When industry billionaires gut the DOT, we’ll fill in potholes.

We can’t replace whole agencies, but we can reduce harm and reveal corruption.

At Moonlight we are building and supporting parallel institutions: projects and organizations by the people that provide services and resources that government SHOULD be offering to challenge dominant structures and reveal their corruption.

The US govt is now shutdown, Republicans keep illegally dismantling basic services while Dems host pressers and send angry letters.

Our leaders have failed us and we need a new approach.

The Moonlight Movement is organizing a fresh creative strategy to fight back, but we need your help, a thread ➑️

By seeking to make authoritarianism bipartisan in DC, Muriel Bowser has made herself an international disgrace.

Top leaders of both parties in DC are now collaborating to drag dads out of car windows and throw moms down on pavement. Meanwhile 80% of DC residents oppose the occupation.

As Congress has frozen budgets and attempted to learn local laws, DC residents are growing their power. DC will be free, but we need YOUR help. Join the fight to free dc. More info on how in previous posts in yellow πŸ™πŸ™

Don’t scoff because you haven’t seen it. Free DC is organizing residents door to door and ward by ward ON THE GROUND. This is not some social media gimmick, but rather bold and tenacious organizing of people where they live.

DC needs statehood and basic freedoms and protections for residents now more than ever. But even before having those, DC residents are NOT backing down. People have been organizing under the banner Free DC this whole year.

However, capitals are also often sites of tremendous resistance too - this year the capital has been a source of tremendous mutual aid for immigrants, peaceful protest, community organizing, defense of institutions and more!

Capital cities have consistently been focal flashpoints for authoritarian regimes demonstrate power, tighten control, and squash opposition, DC is no exception to this rule.

The ongoing takeover of DC and its lack of power is a threat to the entire country’s democratic foundations. History shows that if a dictator takes over the capital, it’s much harder to stop him.

RIGHT NOW is likely a pivotal moment in US history. Dictators almost always take over capital cities, usually by force, to assert power and control.

A thread to help make sense of this moment and how we fight back:
