Some Democrats have shown real heroism. But as a party they are disunited, ineffective, seemingly afraid of their shadows.
What would an opposition party strategy look like if the Democrats were bold and united? Some thoughts... https://robertreich.substack.com/p/if-democrats-got-off-their-asses

An NYT headline that reads: Schumer Urged Democrats to Oppose Trump Nominees in Protest of His Policies
The Senate minority leader had initially said he would not lean on his colleagues to reflexively oppose every nominee, but changed his stance after the president’s actions generated heavy pressure from the left.
Hey you - yeah YOU, person who called your senators, visited their office, attended a rally, or sent an email this week. Check out what you're capable of. Keep it up.

If You Interact with ICE Agents at Work: Ask if you are free to leave. If so, you may calmly walk out. You have the right to refuse consent to a search. You have the right to remain silent. You do not have to discuss your immigration status with anyone, such as about where you were born, whether you are a citizen, or how you entered the country. If you have valid immigration documents, you should show them. Never provide fake documents. If you are arrested, say that you wish to remain silent until speaking with a lawyer. You have the right to record your interaction with immigration agents as long as you do not interfere.
If ICE Agents Show Up at Your Door
You do not have to open the door. If you do, stay calm – you have rights.
Ask what they are there for (and ask for an interpreter if you need one).
If they ask to enter, ask if they have a warrant signed by a judge and if so, ask to see it (through a window or slipped under the door).
If they do not have a warrant signed by a judge, you may refuse to let them in. Ask them to leave any information at your door.
If they force their way in, do not resist. Tell everyone in the residence to remain silent. If you are arrested, you have the right to remain silent. Do not sign anything until you speak with a lawyer.
Si Agentes del ICE Llegan a Tu Lugar de Trabajo
Pregunte si puedes marcharse. De ser así, salga tranquilamente.
Tú tienes derecho a no prestar consentimiento a una búsqueda. Diga en voz alta que no consientes a que registren tus pertenencias.
Tú tienes derecho a guardar silencio. No tienes que discutir tu estatus migratorio con nadie, ni dónde naciste, ni si eres ciudadano, ni cómo entraste al país.
Si tienes documentos de inmigración válidos, deberías mostrarlos. Nunca presente documentos falsos.
Si eres arrestado, diga que quieres permanecer en silencio hasta que hables con un abogado.
Tú tienes el derecho a grabar su interacción con los agentes de inmigración, siempre y cuando no interfiera.
Si Agentes del ICE Llegan a Tu Puerta
No abras la puerta, pero mantén la calma. Tú tienes derechos.
Pregunta para qué están ahí (y solicita un intérprete si necesitas uno).
Si piden entrar a tu casa, pregúntales si tienen una orden firmada por un juez y si la tienen, diles que te la muestren (por la ventana o que la pasen por debajo de la puerta).
Si ellos no tienen una orden firmada por un juez, puedes negarte dejarlos entrar. Pídeles que dejen cualquier información en tu puerta.
Si entran a la fuerza, no te resistas. Dile a todos que estén en la casa que permanezcan en silencio.
Si eres arrestado, permanece en silencio y no firmes nada hasta que hables con un abogado.
Regardless of your immigration status in the U.S., you have guaranteed rights under the Constitution. Know your rights and assert them.
Independientemente de su estatus migratorio en los Estados Unidos, usted tiene derechos garantizados por la Constitución. Conozca sus derechos y hágalos valer.

One thing I like about Bluesky is that you can say "murdered" or "killed" or "strangled" or "pushed in front of a subway car" or "sent to Davy Jones" or "gifted a pair of concrete shoes" or "shoved into the a wood chipper" or "poisoned like a Medici" instead of "unalived"

What better way to prepare for WW3 and a return to 1940s attitudes than to plant a victory garden? It may not look like much now, but come spring my native plants will bloom for ecological resistance. This one’s for the pollinators.

Beyond proud to see Cleveland on the perfect score list. Progress starts at the local level, so if it all seems like too much, start at home.

okay, we're starting with this
Step 1. call your own rep if you haven't already!
Step 2. sign this (cis women only please! cis guys, you can help by boosting)
Step 3. much depends on the success and reach of step 2; lots of options if this blows up

New here and trying to figure out this newfangled thing while simultaneously watching Great British Bakeoff and trying not to let Bread Week be my undoing again.
