I'll take storyteller, please. 📖

Fun fact: in the 1960s, Civil Rights protestors were given literal classes on nonviolent protest; they didn't all just spontaneously know what to do. So, if you're planning on showing up, this weekend: read this comic. And if you're staying home, signal-boost it/link it around.

Seriously, do not buy, stream, or otherwise support of promote more Harry Potter bullshit. It is no longer theoretical - Rowling is funelling those wizard bucks into getting the law changed to actively oppress an already-vulnerable minority.

just your regular reminder that the Republicans in Congress could stop this at any time

Reminder that words matter. You can’t “deport” a US citizen. You might be kidnapping, disappearing, exiling, expelling, illegally removing, etc., but you’re not “deporting” a US citizen.

Beker Rengifo is in the US as part of the CHNV humanitarian parole program—the one Trump tried to axe but was recently kept afloat thanks to a judicial ruling. He has a drivers license. He has legal status. And CBP still handed him to ICE.

You all need to treat Harry Potter IP like we’re treating the Tesla brand.

This is what I'm saying; he's talking about trafficking in humans the way Amazon traffics wares, and the goal is slave trade. This is not a euphemism or an exaggeration. He is describing a "deportation" process for removing people en masse without due process to be shipped to labor prisons.

Clean food was nice while it lasted. Is this what you want, not being able to trust that the food you eat and the medicine you take won't kill you or your family?

More from CT as Wesleyan University’s President Michael Roth calls for Mahmoud Khalil’s release: “Just as we should decry antisemitism and other forms of discrimination, we should insist that students and faculty have the right to make their voices heard about the issues of the day.”

Please understand: conversion therapy is torture. They teach your parents to torture you at home and at school. You are removed from your supportive social environment, forbidden to see or interact with friends or the outside world, and punished until you promise to believe lies about yourself.

Since we all should be currently boycotting Amazon, a reminder that Bezos owns Goodreads and there is a great, Black woman owned, alternative that you can easily migrate to. Highly recommend. www.theguardian.com/books/2025/f...

I realized today that Trump, Musk, DOGE, Vance, Miller, Vought and their many collaborators have broken so many laws already that they know they have to destroy our government and entire way of life to stay out of jail. This is all or nothing. We should respond accordingly.

Sometimes resistance is simply continuing to do the work that you were already doing which aligns with your values.

This is a long watch but it is a good watch. Call your reps and senators.

I went to my Congressman's local office today. First off, they were surprised that I was there. They said they had been getting phone calls, but I was the first walk-in. That said, the phones were not ringing off the hook. If the DC phone lines are busy, try calling the local office.

if the news media is going to entirely ignore our fight for our lives, we’ll just document it ourselves.

Panic and despair without an outlet can be self-destructive. Interrupt the doom spiral: -Do 1 self-indulgent thing that makes you feel happy or content. -Do 1 thing to make your home environment more calm or comfortable. -Do 1 thing to help your community and people in it. Repeat as needed.

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.

Here are the 15 Democrats who voted to confirm Scott Bessent as Treasury Secretary, the man who has granted Elon Musk full access to the federal government's payments system.

We “will not be staying non-disruptive,” one organizer said. ⤵️

If the FAA director got fired over a business beef AND there was an air traffic controller hiring freeze despite huge shortages AND a chaotic blitz to hollow out federal bureaucracy, and then within a week the first American airliner crashes in 16 years, you would be insane not to talk about it all.

One of millions of reasons I hope RFK Jr. is not confirmed. He cannot be trusted, holds dangerous racist views, and is not qualified to lead health and human services in this nation. On what “merit” is this man under consideration?

Assuming we make it through the next couple of decades, this will be an incredible image for future historians/students of the Trump era

When the Patriot Act was passed, libraries got requests for patrons’ borrowing history. We were prohibited from disclosing those requests. We deleted and shredded those records and stopped tracking reading history for that reason. ALSO.

Just saying that pressuring senators in both parties to take down Russ Vought’s nomination is a tangible “something” people can “do” to send a clear signal that this has to stop
