Your purpose on earth is not to argue with people who intentionally want to misunderstand you

All of the cynicism and defeatism isn’t based in reality. We’ve already seen that we can limit the harm of Trump 2.0: indivisible.org/guide

Got whiplash yet? Marie Antoinette couldn't have said it better...

My husband knows I’m in a deep sad place if he walks through the living room after midnight and I’m watching the WW. It makes me hope when I can’t find hope elsewhere.

Remember, it’s okay for
radio, cable, local news, newspapers, podcasts, youtube, facebook, and twitter to be right wing echo chambers.

But IT IS NOT OKAY for a new app that’s starting to gain traction to be a left wing echo chamber.

NO NO NO NOT FAIR!
😠 😭

I’m old enough to remember there was some lady (I think she was like Black and Indian or something) who told us he was gonna do this and it would be bad

Remember two months ago when stern fact checks were being issued to Kamala from the media for linking Donold to Project 2025? God remembers.

Of misogyny, Musk, and men Women are not okay. We're furious.

“The Trump campaign knew that men were his ticket back to power, and it targeted them with a sophisticated campaign of grievance and disinformation. And in that, they were massively aided by the manosphere and its billionaire mascot: Elon Musk.” By @clarajeffery www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Thinking today about how a big part of the ACTUAL job of bishops in early Christian communities was to provide cover for their people who were resisting the Empire.

Praying that doesn’t come to pass.

Trump announces Sauron will head up the Department of Destroying Powerful Rings...

RFK Jr. will be running Health and Human Services, or as it will now be known, "And Human Services"

Stop the presses - Susan Collins said "there will be questions" about the appointment of Gaetz. Go ahead and clutch your pearls, Susan. We've seen THIS show before...

I feel like I’m the only person who remembers this, but didn’t we have an enormous global pandemic the last time Trump was president?

On Organizing time to level up / an early draft of a playbook

So, I read smart people.

There is a playbook for this next chapter.

I believe we can do this. It won’t be easy, but the map is there.

Featuring resources & wisdom from Dr. Erica Cheoweth, @prisonculture.bsky.social @mskellymhayes.bsky.social, @jaclynf.bsky.social & more.

I often think about how the Democratic party and mainline denominations deal with change pretty much in the exact same way.

How is that, you ask?

They appeal to rules nobody cares about and fight change every step of the way.

Nothing says 'Attorney General material' like resigning right before an ethics report.

This is a smash-and-grab era of politics. Absurdity will be no impediment.
