Mortified. Keep putting the pressure on your reps. 🇺🇦

Walk out when the first lie comes out of his mouth (5 seconds in), gather at the capitol steps and address the American people with a plan/call to action via independent media.

I want to say again to academics who are interested in public writing. Look locally. Sure national outlets are good and I do that too, but this kind of visibility in your community can have a real impact.

This is the Playwrights’ Center, which first brought me out from NY to Minneapolis on a writing fellowship. It was where I taught, learned, developed work and had a great time for years.

I’m so proud of them for holding the line on DEI, despite the risk. Donating some $$ right now!

Part 3, in which AOC explains that the calls we have been making to members of Congress this week are having an impact on Republicans and Democrats alike.

Don’t let up.

Keep making noise.

Call!

Finally! What about the other 5 you voted yes on?

The Logic of Destruction And how to resist it

Balancing living life, fighting for democracy where we can, and finding some joy to cling to in the midst of all of it.

"Trump and his team of oligarchs... want us to believe that the enactment of their political vision is inevitable, and they will exploit your sense of inevitability above all else."

YES YES YES
Assume that the worst will be attempted, but NEVER STOP TRYING TO STOP IT.

We can see truths with our own eyes. Do not let them gaslight you. Call it what it is.

‘Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.’ — Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

On #MLKDay, we honor his legacy by choosing love over hate, justice over injustice, and hope over fear.

Monday is Martin Luther King Day.
Period.

I started embroidery a few months ago. Been including profanity in all my pieces.

What’s the quid pro quo? Fascist-in-chief doesn’t do anything that doesn’t benefit him. Tik Tok is going to funnel propaganda at Donnie’s behest. It’s going to be highly censored. This was the plan.

Don't let Donald Trump extending the TikTok ban distract you from the fact that his Administration is about to conduct mass deportations across America in a matter of days.
