Some 21 million Americans don’t have ready access to a passport, birth certificate, or naturalization papers. And the SAVE Act would require these documents to register to vote.

That Jack Daniels parent company has pulled out of @hrc.org's annual Corporate Equality Index is a reason every #LGBTQ Bar, Pride, festival, event should boycott Jack Daniels/Brown Forman Corp products

According to a respected military analyst, the United States is now evolving into a "Network State." The goal: To replace democratic structures with Elon AI government. Expect significant turbulence and "bursts of authoritarianism," he warns. www.thenerdreich.com/network-stat...

My last post gave me this idea to create a new thread of organizations. Please post websites and or organization (pro democracy) that we can support/follow/donate to. (Don't spam this post, they will be deleted.) I'll start with my own PAC (shameless plug lol) democracydefenderspac.com

NEW: A blockbuster ruling in Wisconsin hands vote suppressors a big loss. A victory for voting rights! Paige and I explain. www.youtube.com/watch?v=FXur...

"Canada's relationship with the U.S. can't be saved" From the former vice chief of the Canadian defense staff nationalpost.com/opinion/mark...

I’m having great difficulty right now seeing how our political system doesn’t devolve into violence.

In 2022, Peter Thiel's "house philosopher" envisioned a second Trump administration led by a "CEO" who would be tasked with destroying the government. He wrote down a blueprint. Welcome to the New Reality. www.thenerdreich.com/reboot-elon-...

why post summary points? We need to actually realize that trump won not by posting this stuff, he won ny going on all manner of RW podcasts, even small cake baking podcasts, AOC and Chris Murphy us IG live, all of you all should use it and Develop the ecosystem like the rw but pro democracy.

Trudeau: "There's not a snowball's chance in hell that Canada will ever be the 51st state"

How can they be stopped?

Chris Murphy: "I think this is the most serious constitutional crisis the country has faced, certainly since Watergate. The president is attempting to seize control of power, and for corrupt purposes ... he's trying to crush his opposition ... this is a red alert moment ... our democracy is at risk"

Although the federal courts have blocked Trump's efforts to destroy birthright citizenship for millions of Americans, his campaign to harass & vilify immigrants continues. Immigrant families should know their rights. I've convened a webinar to inform you & your loved ones on what you need to know.

The kid was so racist that Trump fired him. But not too racist for the real president.

What if you bring a court order to Trump, and say, hey you can go on tv and take credit for “allowing” us in the buildings? (even though we can do so ourselves with a court order.)

@adamkinzinger.bsky.social is right. Get a court order.

Get a court order. @adamkinzinger.bsky.social is right.

Don’t forget Senators & Representatives do come home on weekends. An airport is a great place to encounter them. Here’s a guide to bird-dogging in case anyone is inclined to need it. ruckus.org/training-man...

What can be used as leverage on musk? trump, its maga base opinion Most of the time begins via the influential podcasters. But other than podcasters, what else can we do to create leverage and n musk?

Courageous and pragmatic. Who are the security? lets see how they deal with the peer pressure of the entire pro democracy world judging them. Will they be able to live without society accepting them? I doubt they can handle it.

Well done, i think the suddenly famous security face pressure theyve never experienced and will be unable to handle, Millions of americans and people around the world, who will find out who they are and put tremendous pressure to step aside, peer pressure works

@frost.house.gov is finally going to the entrance and putting the security guards on camera, this is good.

Wait. Have @doge and Elon just been pulling numbers from usaspending.gov ? Then releasing it as if they discovered it ? Brilliant if true. Absolutely brilliant. Fooled me. Very Trump like too. Any usaspending.gov experts out there that can tell us ?

And this morning's was perhaps even worse

Have you signed the Pledge for Canada? We have almost 50,000 names. Let's get to 60,000. Sign and share. actionnetwork.org/petitions/pl...

Senator Schiff (as Dems filibuster the nomination of Project 2025 author Russ Vought): “The moment you say it’s ok to violate the law to shut down USAID you have said it is ok to violate the law and shut down anything.”

The hackers are still hacking.

Helping more hackers congress congresses opm attackers keep hacking Should they be stopped from entering the Frances Perkins building? Will they be stopped? Or will the hackers get to more attacking

@repjasmine.bsky.social is inspiring and a leader- But since she spoke yesterday along with her colleagues to protesters The hackers have been hacking away another 21 hours. And the hacking continues…

@frost.house.gov the question is: Why havent you and fellow dems stopped Leon’s hackers? Since you spoke with protesters lst night, the hackers have been hacking away for another 21 hours or so… And the hacking continues….

And still the hackers keep hacking away in the buildings, while we are outside of the buildings. How long before theyve gained complete control over all payment systems of the fed gov?

NEW — DOGE now has full access to HHS Payment Management System, I’ve learned. The system distributes almost $1 trillion per year in grants (largest in the govt) and supports all of NIH, CDC + many other public health initiatives. Musk guy Luke Farritor is actively delaying payments to recipients.

The hackers are going to keep hacking away, guards refuse entry to congress. Control over payments systems means congress and citizens are meaningless, The hackers hack away every second counts. How can they be stopped?

Murphy: "We need to act like a real opposition party in the middle of a constitutional and democracy crisis. That means we should not be moving forward nominees or legislation in the Senate. Ds should not be giving votes to nominee or legislation in the Senate until Rs get serious about this crisis"

Pta and school board meetings i hope are discussing this. Let’s see if teachers and educators in kentucky can teach the state and fight for students. amp.kentucky.com/news/local/e...

How many teachers and educators will speak out, protest or do something in response to trump making an EO to eliminate the dep of Ed? It’s been in the news for a few hours since school let out.

Feb 3 Opec announces this, and the tariffs are called off. Hmmmm www.ttnews.com/articles/ope...

What is the next department musk will gain access to? What are the most sensitive systems in addition to treasury? Which buildings house the NSA? should we be organizing to protest in front of these departments? Should’nt we call our reps and sens to stand at the entrance of these departments?

Hoping that Trump fails is not a plan. We must develop and foster new movements, structures, tactics, platforms and leaders to oppose Trump and articulate a positive vision. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/buil...

The most common question I receive is how everyday citizens can help in the fight for democracy. My advice, take the first step, start with something small and see what works for you. Here are ten things all of us can do. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/10-t...

Musk's seizure last night of the federal payment system must be understood as a coup. Even if Musk/Trump don't abuse this staggering power, they now possess it. There may be legal ways to attempt to restore it to nonpartisan function. There may not be, in the near future, actual means to do so.

1. Everything Elon Musk and his tech cronies are doing to our government is what Balaji Srinivasan spelled out in his "network state" cult manifestos. The establishment media prefers to ignore this even as it unfolds quite dramatically... Steve Bannon in the NYT:

4. Musk's DOGE is a rebranding of Curtis Yarvin's RAGE (Retire All Government Employees). This is behind the buyout offers, firings, and elimination of entire departments. Purge the government of civil servants and replace them with those loyal to a dictator. newrepublic.com/article/1839...

The real story after the tariffs are imposed is to watch who Trump gives waivers to, and what they did to get them.

@ronfilipkowski.bsky.social is right- watch Trump give a waiver on tariffs to companies who make a “donation” to Trump or invest in his companies or stock.

Don’t let anybody gaslight you

This is a great piece. "As deportations ramp up again, we have a choice: We can watch as our neighbors disappear or we can build on these proven strategies to protect the diverse communities we've built together."

The only way we're going to make a difference is to cause financial harm to the people who funded the fourth reich. If enough people are serious, we could organize a boycott against any company who donated to Trump and insurrectionists in Congress.
