Yes, so let's just not even bother trying? FFS.

BREAKING: Today Bernie Sanders is proposing new legislation to raise $4.4 trillion in taxes from America’s billionaires — a move that would virtually cut their massive fortunes in half.

A chunk of the money raised would go toward sending a $3K stimulus check to every person earning under $150K.

everybody stay clear on the fact

that several fascist autocrats

are using the needless death of innocent human beings

as a power grab / attempt to manipulate public opinion

when their popularity is low.

How to stop a dictator I spent months studying how authoritarians like Trump lose. The answer is shockingly simple.

I have spent the past several months studying the cutting-edge research on modern democracies that have defeated authoritarian leaders.

I've learned that the conventional wisdom on the topic is wrong — in ways that have clear implications for the US going forward

These motherfuckers deliberately target schools for violence HERE. I sure as shit believe they targeted schools elsewhere too.

ICE surge in western Wisconsin echoes trauma, intimidation of Twin Cities Volunteers have raised money to pay rent, coordinated rides to school for children and donated groceries and household supplies.

Community defense is different here. Scary. Lonely. There's (some) safety in numbers, and they're hard to come by in our red exurban and rural communities.

We're standing up anyway.

So, today's front page print headline seemed quite fitting:
Emotion, defiance as ICE roams western WI

FUCK ICE.

Judges in a Trump stronghold condemn ICE tactics “If the government may simply seize someone without due process, there is no check on its ability to seize anyone,” one judge wrote.

“'If the government may simply seize someone without due process, there is no check on its ability to seize anyone,' the judge wrote...”

The Resistance is REAL. Important thread.

Basically this regime has decided that quite a lot of Americans don't deserve to live. We're just going to let diseases run rampant and then deny healthcare. This regime does not give a FUCK about anyone but rich people.

Check out this whole thread. Minneapolis and Saint Paul are still hurting. Folks are cautiously coming out of shelter, but need food to get them through until paychecks start up again or new jobs are found. ZCC is my mutual aid! Laura and I have been working together! Please share widely!

To be clear, Kansas Republicans rushed through a confusing and disastrous bill, created a panic, and wasted untold number of tax dollars all to target 300 out of the nearly 3 million people in the state.

Update/Scoop— New guidance sent this AM to Kansas DMVs indicates licenses that previously had gender marker changed not actually invalid yet. However, internally DMV can see who is flagged, and keeping track of who has/hasn't come in to update. Seems about 300 trans/GNC ppl flagged across the state.

Started following you for synth nerdery. The videos you have been doing lately are even better (and more important). Great work.

Everything about this regime is a grift. Everything. This is what authoritarians do.

White men are too emotional to own guns.

In this timeline, this was realistic enough that I questioned it for a moment.

These motherfuckers just making up bullshit at every single point.

Ho-lee Shit. This is phenomenally good news. Department of Education rolls back— for now— its attempts to destroy Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility initiatives. Keep an eye on them, of course, and watch for the hidden knife, always, but for now: Fantastic news.

Again, he doesn’t know how to interact with the world in any way other than as a rapist.

P.S. No one ever mentions nausea and vomiting as a symptom of stroke, but guess what? It totally is. And it persists afterward too. My poor mom.

My mom had 2 strokes a couple weekends ago & it took tons of logging & bothering people to figure out that her issue is that her brain thinks every movement should cause motion sickness. It also took a LOT of gentle prodding to get IV fluids after she barfed up everything for multiple days.

Fun with healthcare: We've all been taught that doctors are the ultimate experts on healthcare, but guess what? You're going to be responsible for doing most of the research to figure out what's wrong after you or anyone you know has been diagnosed with anything. Take copious notes & research.

Hi! I am anti-ICE. Fuck you, Homeland Security.

This is the template for the response to fascism by the way. Getting in trouble to punch fascists is, as this hero would say, "Okay."

For more on how conditions at Dilley are affecting children, read my latest for @nbcnews.com

it's hard to process this level of cruelty to children

For general strikes to be effective, they need to be sustained. In order to be sustained, there must be preparation from many angles. This is a nice list of things to think about if you're really actually serious about a general strike.

It is so refreshing to see smart people who can go off script, be charming and funny... and then come back to talking about concrete ways to make positive changes for people.

You know how I keep saying that every damn skill and capacity is needed in this moment???

What do you know how to do that can serve in this critical time??
