You don't have to give a big speech. They're counting numbers - seeing how many constituents care enough to call in. Just tell them to impeach for this illegal war. Also, make sure you only call YOUR reps - they don't care about out-of-district calls. You can do this. It'll just take a minute. 💪

The financial superiority of renewables over fossil fuels, and in particular their superior capital efficiency, was a major theme of the first installment of The Sun Has Won (2022). www.planetarytech.earth/the-sun-has-... 🔌💡

The appropriate Democratic response is that the president is out of control. You don’t need to repeat his Maduro talking points. Stop being pussies.

Candid answer - as someone who handled constituent affairs calls for years - while they’re not checking the phone right now, the urgency of the moment is important. Show them you care enough to make the weekend call, and be counted that way. Staffers will clock and report this upstream.

Lily Franklin kept it real: Young people want to run, they just don’t always know where to start. RFS backed her in both of her campaigns so she could focus on leading, not guessing. If you’re ready to make moves but need the infrastructure, we’ve got you.

This is exactly the reason why this is not only wildly illegal, under both domestic & international law, but also why it is so disastrous for world order & US national security.

My attitude on this is that I'm not calling them because I think I can change their minds. I'm calling them because it is unthinkable to let them do this without hearing how evil and awful they are. My spite powers me. If I can get just 500 people a day to join me, we could fuck up their day.

Clowns will say it doesn't matter; we don't have the numbers to impeach. You get the numbers by FORCING THE ISSUE. You make NOISE, you DEMAND, you NEVER STOP YELLING. You do nothing? You get nothing. Ignore the clowns. Call your fucking reps and tell them to do their jobs and IMPEACH. reps.fyi

💯💯💯💯💯 You don't have to let the fascists believe they're doing it with your consent

So, how are you feeling these days?

anyway im going to go paint the basement some more enjoy a chloe being adorable

I've called my Senators and my Congressman this morning. I told them it's way past time to impeach this lawless creature in the Oval, and that moreover, his lawlessness has just directly imperiled THIER safety - I hope the threat he poses to their own selfish asses might move them. Decency won't.

My advice for today (US): Get off social media Do something to support your local community, especially the marginalized folks ever targeted by this vivious regime Otherwise, nest at home. Have a conversation with a friend. Make art. Anything to recharge your batteries for whatever’s next.

So it's appropriate to arrest a world leader if you consider them criminal? You can just go get them? Just asking questions here.

Cancer research costs too much but we have the money to run Venezuela

Well, we've graduated from kidnapping brown people off the street to kidnapping entire countries of brown people. So that's... yeah.

The same editorial board described Seattle’s mayor raising taxes to pay for childcare as a totalitarian power grab

(i've just done this a lot — i used to really try to insist on people using much more precise wording, until one day, as I was leaving a podium, a kind MoC pulled me aside and was like "you're making it too complicated, we don't track that level of detail from those calls")

(it's a mistake to tell people to treat a voicemail that's going to be reviewed by a 24 year old staffer and put into a CRM like Fireside as a barometer of constituent sentiment as if they're briefing the gang of eight)

(you may see some squabbling about what your message should be, from some lacking hill ops. if you call + tell your MoC "impeach and remove for starting an illegal and unconstitutional war in Venezuela" that's gonna get coded by the staffer listening to your msg as "stop it" in IQ or Fireside )

The phone number for the U.S. Capitol Switchboard is (202) 224-3121. Here's my FAQ on finding their district phone numbers, email addresses, and what to say to them: www.patreon.com/posts/124314...

It is very important that your federal electeds hear not only from you on social media, but through direct contact as well. Tag them and then Call and email. Do both. Tell them to move to immediately impeach and remove for an unconstitutional war of aggression.

matthew did a thread on why, when you call your representatives & senators, you can make life easier for yourself your message does NOT have to be elaborate or detailed or polished

An unforgettable cover

it is sort of important for people to remember that Putin did in fact try to do this exact kind of Cheeky Lil’ Armed Kidnapping maneuver on Zelenskyy in 2022, and it did in fact fail miserably

Members of Congress: stop posting online and APPEAR, PHYSICALLY on the steps of the Capitol to decry this unconstitutional violation of domestic & international law. SHOW THE PEOPLE the level of danger we are facing as a country. @housedemocrats.bsky.social @senatedemocrats.bsky.social

1/2 Remember that the great disruptions of past 11 1/2 months are from the WHIM OF ONE MAN: —Upheaval of world economy via tariffs —Effective dissolution of longest-standing Western alliances (NATO, North Amer partners, cultural-scientific-educ-aid institutions, US "soft power" overall.) —Now this.

If you're trying to keep your heart focused on the work that you're best-placed to do, it is, unfortunately, a great day to use this procedure @kateschapira.bsky.social and I worked on. I'm going to add a few ideas and songs that I find helpful in this process. Thanks to all who contributed ideas!

THIS. Use @5calls.org and @resist.bot . Call volume by category absolutely matters and can change minds in red districts. We've seen it force them to go back on many things.

To: The Hague, Netherlands January 3, 2026 Dear Catharina-Amalia, Princess of Orange, I hope this letter finds you well…

If you find yourself yelling about nothing, or crying at the least little thing: remember it's the current state of the world making small issues into hugely magnified awfulness, and take a breath. THEN USE IT WHEN YOU CALL, AND MARCH, AND MAKE SIGNS. Outward focused anger and sorrow can power us.

New Bond titles just dropped

they were lucky they had politicians that young and spry and brave

This, of course, is the OTHER big issue going forward.

Quite snowy.

So......does The Hague start coming to countries to snatch war criminals now?

forget the long arc of history bending towards justice, I need the rube goldberg machine of inexorable consequence to endgame the kind of profoundly ironic yet blackly hilarious karmic downfall that would’ve had ancient greek theatergoers hollering at the chorus

Definitely sound up for this post.

OMG 😭 Huntington's is an inherited disease that's like Alzheimers + Parkinson's all in one. NOW: "once the gene therapy has been delivered into the brain... [it] injects a piece of DNA to reprogram the neuron to become a factory for its own cure." LIFE SAVING! www.youtube.com/watch?v=bhEx...

Happy 40th birthday to New Orleans legend Trombone Shorty. Seen here playing at 5 years old. #music

She looks annoyed but she’s purring vigorously.

Just opened the fridge...

I'm a fan of @mississippifreepress.org's work and ethos, and put my supportive money where my mouth is today! We need to pay for good independent journalism, or there won't BE any!

I love Tom Gauld's work to the depths of my soul. I know he's not creating specifically for me, but it feels like he is.

Took the kid out to my old beachcombing cove. Dead silent, no rustle of leaves, not even a gurgle from the sea. Full moon casting gorgeous blue light and long, moody shadows on the cobbly low-tide shore. 17°F (-8C). Maine winters have their own kind of unexpected magic.

It's National Science Fiction Day. Quote-post with one or more of your favorite books.
