Despite the frigid temperature and the awful wind, people sure turned out for the #50501 protests today in Burlington and Montpelier! Couldn't have done it without @madelinereilly.bsky.social, we were both a bit unsure what we were doing but it was fun figuring it out together!

With an anti-science conspiracy theorist leading the US Department of Health and Human Services, preventative action is critical to protecting your health and the health of your community.
A good place to start would be getting back into the practice of regularly wearing a mask.
And @jonbatiste.bsky.social’s emphasis on “land of the free”during the anthem—YESSS

(Yes, NFL sucks, but I’m a Philly girl & interested in the cultural implications of the moment)
Lets go girls 💃🏻💃🏻

VT state house, white building with a golden dome on top, against a bright blue sky and a crowd of protesters spilling from the steps of the house to the sidewalk.
Me, a white woman wearing a maroon beanie and olive green coat, holding two protest signs. One says “Impeach Pres. Musk” in red paint and the other says “Stop the billionaire coup” in white & blue paint, with a red “scam alert” symbol on the bottom. Protesters and the statehouse steps are behind me.
The other side of my protest sign that says “killing USAID will kill ppl. And they say they’re pro-life?!” Written in black sharpie on cardboard.
Proud of my fellow Vermonters for showing up today at the VT state house! It’s always good medicine to be surrounded by others who’ll fight for human rights—there’s a lot of work to do but what a beautiful reminder of the community we get to do it with ❤️🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🇺🇸❤️ #VT #50501Protest #50501movement

Screenshot of notes app: - BREATHE! Don’t let them feed on our fear - They’re small people acting on *perceived* power - Everyday actions matter! Know your rights, gum up the works, demand accountability - Dems are dividing & conquering, need to stall votes, demand answers - Brush up on the plot of Wicked/Wizard of Oz 💅🏻 - Eyes on special elections & local organizing Important context: - Weekend takeover intentionally done after congress adjourned, so fewer reps in DC - 2017 tax law ending in 2025; they’re trying to find $4T needed to continue tax cuts to the 1% (at our expense)
@aoc.bsky.social did a super informative IG live tonight. Thanks for always telling us like it is, while reminding us hope must exist alongside the insanity! Here are my main takeaways for anyone not on IG:

04.02.2025 03:35 — 👍 2 🔁 0 💬 2 📌 0THANK YOU to the congress members showing up! KEEP CALLING! Watch press conference: m.youtube.com/watch?v=stI7...
#USAID #savedemocracy
Screenshot of a tweet by Elon Musk saying “USAID is a criminal organization. Time for it to die” in response to a a post by Autism Capital saying “BREAKING: USAID senior officials put on leave after physically trying to stop DOGE from accessing agency systems” and a picture of a USAID and USA flag in front of the USAID building.
USAID provides humanitarian and disaster relief across the world. To call it “criminal” really shows their hand…they clearly want more than the agency to die. Despicable.
CALL YOUR REPS! @5calls.org makes it easy

I’m new to this format (never had twitter) so still deciding how I want to use it—I’m an enviro educator & make music with enviro soundscapes; I’d love to share creative stuff one day but currently tending to the 🇺🇸 dumpster 🔥, hence joining a platform that isn’t dumping gasoline on it 😉

There’s a Reddit thread for the movement (r/50501) & you can check each state from there. I think it’s pretty grassroots, I’ve been trying to find info for VT but not a ton out there yet. www.reddit.com/r/50501/about/
