Here’s the great @timothysnyder.bsky.social on what happened today and what we need to do now…. snyder.substack.com/p/trumps-ter...

Well, there it is. Sinclair is digging in for a fight, so please help push back -- find stations in your area, watch their local news to see what ads they run, then write those advertisers to tell them you're boycotting as long as they're on a Sinclair station. List here: sbgi.net/tv-stations/

Ok… 🗣️🗣️? Then 👣👣 ! -‘Reach’: About 2.5 meters. -Venue: Literally OFF A CLIFF into a pitch-black ocean -‘Community’: Couple of alarmed cats -Pride: Irrelevant Best 10mins of the week @maddow.msnbc.com @indivisible.org @jamellebouie.net

Dutch late night TV has its take

Luckily, Sinclair has a helpful database of all their stations, so you can see if they're operating in your area and respond accordingly. sbgi.net/tv-stations/

We won’t let Donald Trump dictate what voices the American people are allowed to hear. That’s why millions of us will join protests to defend our rights and our democracy in the largest peaceful mass mobilization in American history. Find your local event: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i... #NoKings

Can confirm Disney Hulu etc making online or on-site cancellations impossible. That’s fine. IN THE MEANTIME: 1) BLOCK the channels in your cable interface settings (you can bet they’ll notice blocks too) 2) Flood generic comment/feedback forms such as this generic at ABC.

Democrats are doing what a lot of people *on here* asked them to do by holding shadow hearings. Help amplify!

Don’t just boycott Disney — BLOCK them. On your TV → Settings → Parental Controls → Channel Block. Block ABC, ESPN, Disney Channel, FX, Freeform, NatGeo (and affiliates). Stop feeding companies that silence voices. #CancelDisney #BoycottABC

Here is my best guidance, rendered beautifully by the great John Lithgow. I first published these lessons nearly nine years ago, in late 2016. They open the twenty chapters of "On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century." snyder.substack.com/p/twenty-les...

They want to cancel Jimmy Kimmel and kill free speech? Time to hit them where it hurts—their pockets: - Cancel Disney+ - Cancel Hulu - Boycott ESPN - Boycott ABC Let them know why you’re canceling/boycotting. - ABC contact: support.abc.com/hc/en-us/art... - Nexstar contact: www.nexstar.tv/contact/

they don't have the capacity to compel obedience by the process of law. they don't have the capacity to compel obedience by violence. the only lever by which they can obtain obedience is fear. do not offer it to them.

Start planning now to attend a No Kings protest on Oct. 18. We need this one to be even bigger than the last one. Invite your family and friends, and ask them to invite their family and friends. People power can defeat fascism.

Everyone who cares about democracy should be watching this amazing production, www.yeson50live.com/stream Donate, volunteer and share this website with everyone!

“The Department of Justice has removed a study showing that white supremacist and far-right violence “continues to outpace all other types of terrorism and domestic violent extremism” in the United States.” www.404media.co/doj-deletes-...

You need to know what might be coming. Trump could have brought the nation together to confront political violence after the murder of Charlie Kirk. Instead he appears to be preparing to use the shooting as a pretext to destroy his political opposition and consolidate power.

Support democracy and oppose the regime? Support constitutional rights and oppose occupation of American cities? Support peaceful protest and oppose political violence? Show it with action. Join a local No Kings protest or better yet host one in your own town. NoKings.org

Have been tagged in to provide the reminder about traumatic video because of the Charlie Kirk shooting video going around! 1. Settings -> Content & Media, turn off "autoplay video" 2. Keep your device sound off while browsing so an accidental activation won't include the sound

It’s clear that the upcoming government funding deadline is one of the biggest opportunities yet for Democrats to fight back. The only question is if they’ll do it.

It’s not just a protest. It’s an ERA.

“Jeffries and Schumer, get your shit together. Tell us what your demands are.” Another government funding deadline is coming up and @ezralevin.bsky.social has déjà vu about Democrats caving to Trump. Tell Democrats to reject any GOP budget that fuels Trump’s chaos: indivisible.org/campaign/car...

🚨 ☎️ 🚨 ☎️ FLOOD THE ZONE!! We are 2 GOP votes short of the House votes needed for the discharge petition to release the full Epstein file. Two votes. So…you know what to do. With calls and emails! Then share this. To find the GOP member of Congress nearest you, go here: house.gov

Check out the lunar shuttle from the 2009 movie 'Moon'. It's such a great design and you only see it briefly the film, very much like the supply shuttle in 'Outland', such a superb model but only a minute of screen time. That's Bill Pearson, a giant of the movie miniature industry. He's missed.

Illinois Gov. Pritzker ahead of Trump National Guard deployment: "To Chicagoans... Look out for your communities and your neighbours. Know your rights. Film things that you see happening... Authoritarians thrive on your silence. Be loud for America."

Pritzker: "I refuse to pretend that any of this is normal ... I refuse to fall into the pundit trap that demands we sacrifice vital constitutional rights if it's being done in the fake guise of fighting crime."

Look at this graph. The share of national income going to the richest 10 percent was lowest (and share to lower 90 percent highest) when union membership was at its highest. As unions have weakened, inequality has widened. This is why we must build back union power.

This is the one Labor Day graph that tells you the actual problem in America. The problem is not that America lacks abundance. The problem is that a handful of oligarchs are hoarding America’s abundance. www.levernews.com/the-labor-da...

This is worth sharing far and wide. Federal Employees and contractors oral history project. Im not involved in this. Just got the link, idea seems to be to create a record of the assault on the American Repuvlic after Jan 2025. www.fecohp.org

If you don’t believe that Trump’s authoritarianism can be defeated, look at how scared MAGA is of chalk:

The precise moment when and where in recent weeks America crossed that invisible line from democracy into authoritarianism can and will be debated by future historians, but it’s clear that the line itself has been crossed. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/america-ti...

Can we talk about that headline? If it’s true, you don’t need “Democrats say.” If it’s untrue, don’t put it in a headline. Either way, you’re fucking reporters. Find out what’s true, and write that.

With a copy of the Constitution, regular Americans are marching 160 miles from Philadelphia to DC with one mission: Deliver the people’s voice to Congress. Join us along the route for community events, mutual aid projects, family BBQs, and much more: www.weareamericamarc... #MarchForDemocracy

Texas in 2025.

As a former Texas State Rep, let me be clear: LOCKING Rep. Nicole Collier inside the chamber is beyond outrageous. Forcing elected officials to sign “permission slips” & take police escorts to leave? That’s not procedure. That’s some old Jim Crow playbook.

We’re not distracted and it’s not going away.

 . Charlie Kirk’s post was cut off. What he actually said was: “It’s all about 👀Jesus. 👀 Fucking. 👀 Christ where’d all these brown people come from?!”

The Constitution protects your right to record law enforcement in public.

America is no longer descending into fascism. We are seconds away from impact Military occupation has come to DC. If and when military occupation comes to where you are, there are things that you can do. This article outlines some of them

The pretexts for these paramilitary takeovers don’t matter They’re lies Don’t buy into their narrative They’re normalizing military takeovers That should be the opposing narrative, not crime rates which let them steer the conversation WE should steer it What they’re doing is unacceptable Period

He has kept among us in times of peace Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures. He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power. He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution & unacknowledged by our laws.

The appropriate way for a US president to greet Vladimir Putin.
