Good time to remember that an executive order is not a law and that multiple other EOs of this corrupt regime have already been blocked by the courts.

Every time you see someone powerful acting like a craven coward in the face of this authoritarian menace, let it stiffen your own spine. We are all we've got.

5 MIN ACTION for folks with Dem senators/reps: call 202-224-3121, ask to speak to your elected. Ask them 1. To be unified as Dems in a boycott of the Mar 4 State of the Union and be LOUD in the press about why. 2. Ask why a govt shutdown in Mar isn't on the table as a tool to resist fascism.

AOC is one of the few Dems actually speaking truth to power these days. Thank God.

This is why you fight these cowards.

The moment you stand up to them, they crumble.

Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights.

He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

What can I do to fight this administrative coup? If you look, there are people resisting at every level. Blockades of freeways. American Bar Association urging an end to...

What can we do? We can do a lot....

The University of California Increased Diversity. Now It’s Being Sued. The state’s elite campuses, prohibited from using race-based admissions for decades, are now admitting more Black and Hispanic students. A new group is suing, arguing the university system is cheating...

The almost explicit position of these groups is that anything more than a token number of black and Hispanic students in an elite institution is de facto evidence of anti-white racial discrimination.

oh look...

Call them want they really are: HACKERS

This "DOGE engineers" thing is bullshit!

They are boy hackers! Plain and simple

This is 2016 Cambridge Analytics bullshit on steroids

You cannot claim to oppose fascism *and* defend the purveyors of anti-trans misinformation.

Scapegoating is a key component of fascism, and the "reasonable, just asking questions" "moderates" are vital to the fascist infrastructure.

honestly think some of the hesitation here is that no one wants to sound like a crank. i was talking at an event last night and even i felt like a crank while i was speaking!

ICE RAPID RESPONSE NUMBERS - ALAMEDA COUNTY:
(510) 241-4011

E-M-P-A-T-H-Y

Spread it around!

Setting quotas of arrests per day. You know what happens when you have a quota to meet? Scoop them up and let the court sort it out. They will be grabbing anyone they can. No proof of citizenship on your person? Too bad. That’s an arrest. Look “illegal?” Explain it to the court someday.

the world they want is one where you're either unemployed or work an almost no wage job, you have almost no political input or self determination and you’re happy about it because you can get a t-shirt off temu for a $1

Recently took a peek at Twitter and the disinformation is getting substantially more dangerous. Someone could get killed.

The tactics of constantly repeating outright lies, targeting specific people, repurposing years-old footage and presenting them as new is getting to another level. It’s scary.

The folks obsessively posting about egg prices for the past few years have gone strangely quiet just as egg prices hit an all-time high.

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism.

We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive
