“No, Speaker Johnson — the No Kings rally on October 18 is not a hate America rally. In fact, it’s quite the contrary: It’s a love America rally.” #NoKings

If I’m quiet, it’s because I’m working on plans to stop us from being murdered by Nazis.* Exaggeration? Maybe. Starter pack drops late tonight. Watching who’s reposting the boycott guide—especially this one. Join the Substack. #Unherdables

Protecting Academic Freedom and Our Democracy

Our union must be the defender of academic freedom. As Trump and his allies make efforts to quash and control higher education, @aft.org stands up for higher education as a common good. #AmericanEducator

He knows it. They know it. They've always known it. Amongst themselves, they joke about it. They tell stories about it. They swap advice on how to deal with it.

But most importantly, to everyone else, they lie about it.

Here’s my pep talk after studying authoritarianism:

1). They never truly expect a long-term resistance movement bc they think people are a collection of trauma triggers who are easily controlled thru terror 

2). If they can’t terrorize you 24/7 in your mind, they have already lost the war

3). The single best way you can resist fascism is to not let them terrorize you constantly. Protect your mental health to ensure you are not constantly in a terrorized state

4). Keep connecting to who you are at your core. Your values, preferences, ethics, and beliefs. Build up capacity to resist

5). Remember they are like abusive parents: they only see us extensions of them. They have no clue how powerful joy and community and self-expression can be. We can use this to our advantage — we can be the strong-willed child they never saw coming.

Spending time connecting to your true self is not selfish in these times — it’s intricately connected to a resistance movement that is tied to honoring our bodies, our communities, and to the land. We have to build capacity to resist by being exactly who we are!

Is it Christian to publicly call for the murder of all homeless people?

That's what Brian Kilmeade did on Fox a week ago.

He still has his job.

A patient at UC San Diego battling stage 4 cancer put it best: “We’re not a line item.” Research saves lives, but Trump’s cuts to NIH funding threaten trials, discoveries, and hope. We will fight against these cuts—because patients deserve breakthroughs, not abandonment.

Donald Trump, E. Jean Carroll, and the Power of Resistance

Trump returns to the U.S. Open, the scene of his previous crimes, and is promptly booed by the crowd, which is turning on him for his fascist overreach and numerous failed economic policies.

Anita Hill

Christine Blasey Ford

E. Jean Carroll and Trump’s many other accusers

A society that believes a man’s advancement should NEVER be impeded by the trifling concerns of harassed/raped women & children will always devolve to where we are.

This is the stupidest thing ever!

Trump just called for the full datasets from the Covid Vaccine manufacturers to be released.

Trump's FDA has the full datasets. They required the datasets in order to approve the vaccines.

The vaccines have saved hundreds of thousands of lives.

Check out @sbworkersunited.org powerful ad in the @nytimes.com! Refusing to settle a fair contract = a latte problems. For less than CEO Brian Niccol paid himself, Starbucks could sign a fair union contract TODAY. This #LaborDay: NO CONTRACT, NO COFFEE! ☕️✊

On #LaborDay, we recognize the workers who make so much of our everyday lives possible. And every day, we should have American workers' back by supporting their organized efforts to secure higher wages, good benefits, and safe & dignified workplaces.

Medicare for all, paid leave, universal childcare.

Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Street’s greed.

Getting big money out of politics.

Supporting unions and fighting for higher wages.

If Dems want to win back working people, this is the agenda they must support.

Today I found out my neighbor who works
for USDA lost his job.
I don't know him well, but I do know he's
worked for USDA for the 12 years I've
known him.
What I do know....
I'm incredibly happy for him and his family.
I'm glad he lost his career.
I'm glad he lost his source of income. I'm
glad he got everything he voted for.
I'm just waiting to see how long it takes for
the Trump flag he's been flying for the last
5 years to come down.
