YES

2025 sucked in so many ways… *and*, I can’t remember a better Christmas-to-New Years stretch than this one. I’ve felt suspended in a beautiful place of anticipation and savoring the birth of the new. I’m almost sad for it to be over tomorrow…

Well Bluesky, even though I'm experiencing a crippling headache for the 8th day in a row, I still posted my annual Holiday Music That Doesn't Suck playlist for you. Enjoy, you filthy animals. wiredformusic.blogspot.com/2025/11/the-...

If you live in DC and are active on normie social media sites, you should be flooding the zone with videos of boring peaceful life in the city.

I feel like we can cool it already with the advice to “do the thing that scares you,” because living in America right now is some John Carpenter-level shit.

Just back from a huge, joyful #NoKings protest in NY’s Hudson Valley. A little kid led the crowd in a call and response. An older man yelled “Henry Miller, not Stephen Miller.” There were dancing paper mâché cats. This is what democracy feels like.

My grandmother was a young pregnant Jewish woman alone on a train in Poland during WWII when a German soldier told her to get off at the next stop because there wouldn't be any soldiers waiting at the station. She survived because, in that moment, a soldier chose the right thing over obeying orders.

Some inspiration for today. From Marge Piercy's book, To Be of Use. No Kings. #poetry #books #writing #nokings

Guy at my rally: “comparing DT to a king makes me feel bad for KINGS. At least kings can project some ✨MAJESTY✨ - has anyone ever seen majesty out of this guy?” 😂 #NOKINGS

My 77-year-old mother is attending her first protest today. #NoKings

House Dems are demanding that Noem testify before Congress after Sen. Padilla was detained by federal agents at her DHS press conference in LA.

A DHS spokesperson defended the detainment, accusing Sen. Padilla of failing to properly identify himself during Sec. Kristi Noem's press conference. But multiple videos show Padilla clearly identifying himself as a senator.

We must teach media literacy around AI. And we must have guardrails in place for ethical governance of this technology. futurism.com/judge-lawsui...

Bring Kilmar Abrego Garcia home now.

I won’t share RFK Jr.’s lies about autism. It’s disgusting and dangerous. If he had a shred of decency, he would apologize and resign. Autistic people contribute every day to our nation’s greatness. To every kid with autism, I’m in this fight all the way for you.

What’s your sign

I just landed in San Salvador a little while ago, and I look forward to meeting with the team at the U.S. embassy to discuss the release of Mr. Abrego Garcia. I also hope to meet with Salvadoran officials and with Kilmar himself. He was illegally abducted and needs to come home.

Four R senators and four R House members could announce they're caucusing with the Dems for now, and will vote for Schumer for Majority Leader and Jeffries for Speaker, because the threat to the rule of law is dire. Meanwhile, they'll work with Democrats to construct guardrails against dictatorship.

Get yourself a senator willing to rescue you in a foreign country after your messy president wrongfully deports you… …seems like a sentence I shouldn’t have to write in 2025 but here we are. Senator Chris Van Hollen leaves for El Salvador tomorrow to initiate the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

I cannot convey enough how grateful I am to the millions of you all supporting us with your time, resources, and energy. Your support has allowed us to rally people together at record scale to organize their communities. All with an average donation of $21. THANK YOU & Pa’lante 🙏🏽♥️

Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a legal resident of the United States, was illegally disappeared and remanded to an El Salvador concentration camp in the absence of due process as guaranteed by the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution. Call your senators *now* & demand to know how they're responding to: 1/3

In defiance of the Supreme Court & without any evidence, the White House claims that Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a “terrorist,” who was “sent to the right place.” This is a blatant LIE. He is innocent. He cannot be allowed to rot in an El Salvadorian jail. He must be brought home.

We must all stand as a united front against the kidnapping and illegal detention of Kilmar Abrego Garcia in El Salvador. Senator, I am willing to join you and help Organize other members of the House to do the same. @vanhollen.senate.gov

Wishing those who observe a peaceful, joyous, and meaningful Passover.

Yes. It’s exhausting. It takes a Herculean effort to manage my energy. But I’m not giving up.

TLDR on yesterday: If you’re a king, we’re the historic force that strips your perceived power. “We live in capitalism, its power seems inescapable – but then, so did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings.” - Ursula K Le Guin

Happy HandsOff day to all who celebrate! Let's go Free America.

The people united will never be defeated 👊💜 (Rally this morning in Kingston, NY)

France prosecuting Le Pen. Bolsonaro being held to account. Hungarian freedom fighters have forced police to stand down. Georgia well past 100 days of protests. Serbians in the streets. Romanians as well. The future is made of the decisions we make.

Please use your platform to amplify good news about how the resistance is working, and to bring solutions and strategies to our attention... not to give the daily onslaught of outrage even more attention. Health spreads through social networks. We need a populace ready and inspired to fight.

👏

All the reasons Cory Booker’s move was not only morally pristine but also STRATEGIC: www.instagram.com/reel/DH6y95I...

Sen Cory Booker’s filibuster is based on substance. This man isn’t reading a telephone book or Green Eggs & Ham. He’s bringing the stories of his constituents. He’s bringing examples of Republican policies that are harming this nation. Bc Democrats are here to serve ppl, not billionaires.

America is THIRSTY for any sign of leadership. If you're the sort of a person whose entire career depends on having people look at and like you, perhaps you'd like to step up and shine.

“These are not normal times.” Exactly right, and you rose to meet the moment, sir. We are so deeply grateful. idahocapitalsun.com/2025/04/01/t...

Thank you, Cory Booker.
