CA friends - pressure Newsom before monday morning, to sign important trans/LGBTQ+ and medical protections into law. elainedimasi.substack.com/p/california...

The following is REAL footage from Portland, 2025. Viewer discretion is advised.

My email script, with oversimplified language, because they think we're stupid.

Here is the Chris Armitage substack addressing what we as consumers can do about Disney right away, even without a big movement. Unsubscribe, call and explain, boycott the parks, reach out to your friends for same. cmarmitage.substack.com/p/the-kimmel...

Update! These calls took me one full hour to make. That means you can make 2 or 3 calls in ten minutes, even with the task switching. elainedimasi.substack.com/p/a-chronica...

Alert the presses. Oh wait. They already know.

In this Substack I talk about getting RFK Jr tf out of there (action before a 17-Sept hearing please!), Democratic Governors, and the wisdom of the disability community. elainedimasi.substack.com/p/a-chronica...

Remember, unemployment numbers come out the first Friday of every month and tomorrows are gonna suck harder than renaming the DOD to ‘Department of flyovers to drown out sexual assault survivors & blow up randos on boats’ don’t take the bait.

We used to call this stupidity. There were smart people and stupid people and we let the smart people do the things they were good at and the stupid people were taken care of and didn't need to worry about what the smart people were doing. But now we let the stupid people think they're smart.

The incoming atrocities of RFK Jr and this administration re: health are way too long for a tweet. Call your senators, now! #impeachRFKJr #CDC #HHS mailchi.mp/c9f2ca2a55e6...

California Prop 50, and standing up to bullies. Also, EPA scientists were RIF'd and #FEMA staff put on leave for defying the regime. Be courageous like them. elainedimasi.substack.com/p/votes-and-...

The place is just LITTERED with thrown sandwiches. Lawless.

Oakland CA - monday, Oscar Grant Plaza, noon #workersoverbillionaires

Stand Up For Science! And Democracy too. My favorite is the RFK Jr "Quack-O-Gram" at the end of the article. Thanks for reading and sharing! elainedimasi.substack.com/p/keep-us-ho...

This video is just incredible, a bunch of guys whose favorite movie is Boondock Saints in eBay tacticool gear doing their personal imaginary version of charging out of the LSTs onto Omaha beach but they’re in a Penske truck in a Home Depot parking lot and they’re the Nazis.

there are so many open layups and somehow dems can’t make them. republicans are literally pulling cancer treatment from children and they can’t message on that??? like what the fuck are we doing here

This is one of the most beautiful things I have witnessed, the craft here is impeccable.

Thx @cherylthenerd.bsky.social for the covid biomarker tip!

DMHHS and DHS have worked to expand the number of beds available. If you see someone that needs shelter tonight, please call the shelter hotline at (202) 399-7093 or 311. Here is also a helpful FAQ & resources from the DC Attorney General: oag.dc.gov/release/freq...

A better world is possible. From DC to LA, we are united to reject this administration’s agenda of violence and celebrate one another instead. #FreeDC

A couple of things are up. Trump fired the BLS Commissioner. Science agencies try to regain their agency. And we Stand Up For Climate Science.

This one is about Our Heroes at the EPA, but I can't resist a dig at the awful Lee Zeldin. Plus, links to some useful articles. elainedimasi.substack.com/p/stand-up-f...

Announcing a bit of Substackery from myself; I have some stuff to say, and no reason to let a social media algorithm determine whether my friends see it 🙂 Hope to see you there! elainedimasi.substack.com

Mike Lofgren was one of first to diagnose structural collapse of GOP. (Book 'The Party's Over,' 2012. Same time as Ornstein/ Mann 'Let's Just Say It: Republicans are the Problem') Now he argues it's time to use 'totalitarian,' rather than 'authoritarian,' for MAGA era www.salon.com/2025/06/22/a...

Oh so they’re already doing the “I support the troops, not the war” routine. That didn’t work last time either

The Democratic Party should already have a rapid response presser going, but it's Sunday. I would hate to interrupt their paid weekends because of an illegal war being declared without Congressional approval. Priorities.

Mary Geddry has the BEST zingers. BEST. "Officials warn this may be Canada’s worst wildfire season in recorded history, though the Trump administration has remained characteristically silent, possibly out of respect for the fossil fuels trapped in the blaze." lmfao!

🚨BREAKING: It seems very clear that the Administration decided not to abide by the court's order. The question now is what will the judge do. Does he proceed with contempt or something short of that to defuse. Upping the stakes is the fact that the AG and her senior staff signed this notice.

Tell 'em that right now *citizenship* (don't have to say "politics") belongs in every place of conversation. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/10-t...

I've done science at DOE labs since 1996. This DOE post on LinkedIn from Trump's administration makes me so angry and sad. I hope we all survive these four years. I can say, at the labs, we're doing our best to keep the science programs going.

Hey everyone - read @democracydocket.com posts and newsletters. You need to know. #democracy #citizenship #VRA

"The NFL, which has deals with X and Meta, told the New England Patriots to shut down their Bluesky account." I'm not saying we fight every crazy thing. Every "trial balloon." But we *observe and tell* the crazy things, to prevent the gaslighting from working on us.

A female meteorologist was fired for accurately describing a Nazi salute, and a female pastor was threatened with deportation (despite being an American) for leading a service about having compassion for our fellow man. The bully pulpit broligarchy effect.

I'll just leave this here, so we'll know how to talk about project 2025 around the dinner table on holidays... www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Meanwhile, the DOGE things was sued 3 times. Thanks, @democracydocket.com ! www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

From @democracydocket.com - ACLU, Lawyers for Civil Rights and 22 Democratic-led states filed lawsuits challenging Trump's executive order revoking birthright citizenship for babies born in the U.S. whose parents are not citizens. Suits' claim: Trump's action violated the 14th Amendment.

From @democracydocket.com - Trump signed an executive order known as "Schedule F" that stripped thousands of federal employees of job protections, making it easier to dismiss them for political disloyalty. Federal workers sued to challenge the order.

I took a break from political doomscrolling. This was a pocket with a hole in it. Now it's not! #crossstitch #denimupcycle
