C’mon Toad! We have work to do!

👏👏👏

No. Save yourself.

The book On Tyranny by Timothy Snyder

A good thing to do this week might be to stock up on a few extra copies to share.

Someday my sons will reminisce about the existence of objective reality, the way I talk to them about having 4 tv channels.

Hello to all my new followers who can’t see this because you’re obvious bots or worse and I blocked you.

Re-upping in case you have time for a few calls or emails tomorrow.

I can't exactly take credit, but I have been sending him postcards to this effect for months now. 👏👏👏 Thank you @vanhollen.senate.gov

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH

Remember: If we allow ourselves to fall into fatalism, or wallow in disappointment, or become resigned to what is rather than what should be, we will lose the long game.

The greatest enemy of positive social change is cynicism about what can be changed.

You guys, so many Romance girlies are reading "On Tyranny" that they've broken the Goodreads recommendations algorithm. 10/10; no notes.

“Well then,” said Toad, “a little more sleep will not hurt me.”

Looking for lists of independent journalists to follow. LMK if you have one?

Hey BlueSky. This seems pretty bad. Maybe log off and watch some Middle Aged Dad Jam Band or something.

Hello, did you know that it's very easy to search up a list of Republican doctors in the Senate? And in the House? It will take you less than 5 minutes, I promise.

In case you like vaccines and science-based health care or whatever and were wondering who might be able to help you with that.

Good morning, BlueSky! A good thing to do for democracy today would be… anything! Do something! Whatever works for you is > doing nothing, I promise.

Thank you for your daily threads!

Hello BlueSky! Everything is just terrible, but @emilylhauser.bsky.social is boosting ideas for noncooperation, so check her daily threads for inspiration!

I always think it's sweet when my engineer son stops by and asks me if I want him to look at anything.

But also look at it means literally look at it and say "huh" and walk away.

*just barely after dark. Let's not get crazy.

Got a honk and an "Amen!" Granted, this may be because I was disguised as a church lady. And by disguised, I mean I just happen to like maxiskirts, OK?

So sneaking around after dark* to position resistance-encouraging yard signs at busy intersections is a thing I do now, if you're looking for a way to leverage your gray-haired lady privilege.

Thank you for doing this!

New policy: Unfollow or block anyone posting "you're doing resistance/opposition/democracy wrong." Everybody doing something is doing good. Say whatever you want! Try all the things!

🧵*8/27/2025 thread of noncooperation*

Day Two of this new thing I'm trying: Posting a daily thread of acts of noncooperation/noncompliance/resistance by individuals, communities, or institutions.

Shit's bad. But we remain who we are.

Senator, what would you have us do? (please don't say send $25)

sisterconfidence.com is available. I checked.

Got your email about focusing on kitchen table issues, @alsobrooks.senate.gov. At my kitchen table, we're talking about the rise of fascism.
