We’re building a #PeoplesMovement.

Today, over 3 million people across the country stood up to say HANDS OFF our democracy.

And history shows that when just 3.5% of the population engages in sustained, peaceful resistance—transformative change is inevitable.

Although I knew it was likely like this, I’m still shocked reading it.

Must read, in order to know the depths of fascism we are only beginning to experience. And the treatment that those who dissent will likely be subjected to sooner rather than later.

Me tooooo!
One that fits in my pockets!

Sounds like a billionaire who’s never talked to a working person in his life.

Elon: get your hands off of Americans’ hard-earned Social Security.

America isn't 36 trillion in debt because of Social Security and Medicare.

It's because corrupt billionaires aren't paying their fair fucking share.

The GOP's tax cuts for their billionaire donors ballooned the deficit, so they're blaming the problem on Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid — demanding cuts to programs that millions of Americans rely on. It's socialism for the rich, harsh capitalism for everyone else.

A movement is calling for an 'economic blackout' on Friday. Here's what to know The People's Union USA, a grassroots group, is calling on Americans to join a national boycott by not shopping for 24 hours on Friday.

A graphic with quote “If not remedied, the scandalous state of our present system of capital punishment will cast a pall of shame over our society for years to come. We cannot let it continue.” The quote is attributed to "— Thurgood Marshall, former Supreme Court justice" Above the quote is a photo of the top of the Supreme Court of the United States, a large building with pillars and an American flag waving in front.

The death penalty is a racist, inhumane system that should have long been abolished.

Justice Thurgood Marshall’s words echo as we continue our fight against murder at the hands of the state.

I'm feeling nostalgic for competence.

This is going to be EPIC: All your favorite Democratic creators (and a few huge surprise guests) are coming together for a MASSIVE zoom Tuesday.

This is going to be one of the most important conversations of the Trump presidency.

🚨 Thanks to our lawsuit, the world's richest man has been stopped from stealing your data.

DOGE's unrestricted access to Treasury systems is incredibly dangerous, and this emergency order halting their access proves it.

I'll never stop fighting to protect our residents.

Why are people surprised that white supremacist Elon Musk would rehire another white supremacist at DOGE?

When I think of Elon Musk hacking into hundreds of millions of tax files and Social Security records I am reminded of the case of Aaron Swartz. He face five years in prison because he hacked into M.I.T's computer system.

Tell Congress: Don't defund our communities President Trump’s decision to block trillions in federal funding to critical services already approved by Congress is a reckless, cruel, unprecedented power grab that will impact every one of us.

We won’t stop until Trump’s order is blocked once and for all. Take action now:

Let's be clear: the Medicaid portal went offline because of Donald Trump's orders.

The only reason it is back on is due to outrage from the American people.

Now, they are trying to lie about it.

Medicaid was never taken away from Americans under President Biden.

If you want further proof that American journalism is dead, the Hollywood Reporter showed more moral clarity in their coverage of Elon Musk’s Nazi salute than the Washington Post, NY Times, LA Times, WSJ, CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS or NBC. Cowards all.

I’m a monthly supporter of ACLU and have been since the start of the first administration of the orange monster. Extremely important!

Best thing our allies can remember: if you stand up to Trump you intimidate him and he will back down. If you crawl to him (like his sycophantic politicians) he will not respect you and will eventually throw you under the bus.

Why I'm quitting the Washington Post Democracy can't function without a free press

Ann Telnaes deserves praise for sacrificing her job at the disgraced Washington Post in service of journalistic independence

I’d recommend everyone regardless of medical risk bring a mask on your airplane journey, a disinfectant wipe to clean the seat you’re in and hand sanitizer.

It’s going to be on you alone to protect your health.

Warning signs are everywhere.

📚 Library patrons! Please check out a book you plan to read someday, but not right now. We won’t be able to tell you haven’t read it, it’s good for our metrics, and it prevents good books from getting weeded when they still have a kindred spirit out there.

yeah I’m seeing that on my Facebook page too. As if I’m not allowed to have my own feelings. 🤷‍♀️

Haha 😂 , sorry, it’s a bad joke—but honestly, I’m kind of proud of it!

This is what I would have preferred to see.

Accurate.

And just like that, it’s December.

Yesterday’s hour-long ride on a shuttle bus was sort of fun, seeing streets I don’t normally see. Today’s shuttle bus ride, not so fun in the rain. MBTA, definitely an adventure.
