🚨BREAKING: The 10th District Court of Appeals denied the state’s motion to stay, which means the original order - that Judge Holbrook of the Franklin County Court of Common Pleas issue an injunction against HB 68 - still stands. 🧵

The Constitution is clear: the President can't arrest people he disagrees with.

By detaining Mahmoud Khalil — a legal permanent resident whose American wife is 8-months pregnant — Donald Trump seeks to undermine basic freedoms.

We must oppose this move toward authoritarianism.

You wake up terrified and you also know that your fear feeds their power and control. Don’t let em have it… have yourself a piece of cake today, feel sunshine on your pale ass legs, smell a tree, kids your babies forehead. Don’t give up. We’re organizing. They can’t take us all…

Grim times. It’s been so hard to wake up everyday and perform. I never knew the end would feel like this. That people would still be getting brunch and going to Costco and taking zoom calls while we convert to authoritarianism. 1/2

Folks: I am NOT affiliated with the group that is using my name to support an economic boycott. Please spread this post, if you would.

Hi all, We’re still here at OPM.

We have a situation where we MIGHT, and I do mean, MIGHT have four of Elon’s people blocked from the building.

Can we get press or a member of Congress down here? We’ve blocked them for two hours and they keep coming back and trying to go in.

Yes. While there are absolutely things Democrats can and must do to slow, obstruct, etc, GOP hold both House and Senate majorities, severely limiting our options.

Johnson and Thune are handing over the own keys and relinquishing their own power. Even for the cynics this should be a shock.

I hate living through a coup and having to go to work the next day. Feeling sick to my stomach and not sure how to resist. People keep saying to “not give up/in” but what action can I take that will stop any of it? Witnessing a slow burn.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.

Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

There’s too much to know.

Exclusive: Musk aides lock government workers out of computer systems at US agency, sources say Aides to Elon Musk charged with running the U.S. government human resources agency have locked career civil servants out of computer systems that contain the personal data of millions of federal employees, according to two agency officials.

This is a hostile takeover of the federal government by a private citizen of unlimited means with no restrictions and no transparency. Welcome to the Deep State www.reuters.com/world/us/mus...

This is fascinating! I wish I had that 300 laying around 😉. Congratulations Andy!

I didn’t expect it to burn down this way when I made this poster last year… but sometimes we don’t get to light the match. This week has been a radical exercise in how it feels to loose the illusion of control and security. #letterpress #letterpresspolitics

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

Today, I’m grateful for @theonion.com… keeps me going in grim times

Hegseth has defended war criminals & rejected international law. He’s a prominent advocate for privatizing the VA. He was forced to step down from leading two advocacy groups after repeated allegations of financial mismanagement, sexual harassment & alcohol abuse. I’m voting NO.

Still have the lights up… because it makes me feel the tiniest spark of joy. What brought you joy today, however small?
