"People are waking up. Our office's phones are overwhelmed today. This rally tonight to protest Musk and Trump's seizure of our personal data was supposed to have a few hundred people and 1000+ showed up."

post from @h_lee_justine on threads:

AOC was just on live giving us advice of what to do and she had very specific instructions depending on if your reps were Dem or repub.
I'll share them but first things first you know l've been begging you to call your reps. AOC highlighted that is the BEST THING to do right now and that they really do listen when they get non stop calls. So please pledge to me that you're gonna make some calls tomorrow to both LOCAL AND DC OFFICES of your reps. Tell me below.
Now if your...
...rep is Democrat, she wants you to ask them to obstruct ALL CABINET PICKS until Elon is no longer committing illegal acts in the fed gov. It's the one power Dems have right now. Zero appointments, full obstruction until Elon is OUT! Ask for that Tom. Use the 5 calls app or website to make it easy. Again, LOCAL AND DC
Now if your rep is Republican, you're going to tell them that you will start looking for and campaigning for a challenger in their district this week if they don't act to... ...protect our data, the value of the US dollar, and integrity in our fed gov. She said she knows this seems like it won't do anything but to trust her, these people care. And they're hoping you get so complacent you're silent and they don't have to worry about re election.
If you have any kind of platform with a following, tell them you'll use that to campaign against them. If you're a part of a large community group, even just a community garden, tell them you'll tell everyone locally... ..what they are or aren't doing to protect us from the coup by Elon Musk. You know people in your community. You have a voice. Tell them specifically how you'll use it.
It matters guys. Everyone is scared right now. Apply pressure and tell everyone you know to

thread with @aoc.bsky.social’s advice for this moment, and it involves calling your reps.

not sure how? use 5calls.org (they have an app too).

Trump is sworn in without placing his hand on the Bible, because he has no intention of upholding his oath of office.

The Hegseth Hearing Was a National Embarrassment America’s allies and enemies watched as Trump’s pick for the secretary of defense failed to quell concerns about his character and qualifications.

America’s allies should be deeply concerned about Pete Hegseth’s confirmation hearing. America’s enemies, meanwhile, are almost certainly laughing in amazement at their unexpected good fortune.

Apropos, the best election postmortem I’ve read dropped today. It’s also more than a postmortem; it’s a deeper long-term analysis, and quite compelling.

The article is by @eladn.bsky.social and well worth the long read.

If you want to understand the rise of RFK and other crackpot anti-science types in the 21st century, you have to understand the fusion between conspiracy theorists and New Age flummery, as I wrote in the new edition of The Death of Expertise:

Trump reportedly plans to swiftly eject trans troops within days of inauguration Trump’s actions could eject thousands of current trans service members

News has just broke that Trump plans to eject trans people from the military within days of inauguration.

Trans servicemembers who have served 19 years will lose their pensions and healthcare.

This is obscene. They served our country, and will be kicked to the side like trash.

I really encourage everyone to listen to @onthemedia.bsky.social. Now more than ever understanding how information flows and who controls it and profits off it is a necessity to—I am not exaggerating—human survival. And it is not dreary.
