I know no one is coming to save us; I'm not waiting for permission to defend what matters. I know something comes after this part, and we can't wait until it's "over" to name the future we want. We start building it now, in how we show up, what we refuse to accept, and who we refuse to abandon.

I love my country, so I speak up when it falls short, not because I want it to fail, but because I believe it can do better. The people telling you to leave - they love this country in the way you "love" something you've given up on. differsense.substack.com/p/if-you-don...

Trump pardoned Jason Galanis, a convicted fraudster that had been ordered to pay more than $80 million in restitution to those he defrauded. The pardon wiped out the restitution obligation. If you're falling for the fraud excuse, you're not watching the patterns.

Welcome to your 2025 performance review billionaires. You have not met expectations, failed to achieve stated objectives, and been dicks at every possible opportunity. www.linkedin.com/posts/shayne...

There's a particular species of grievance that blooms in the hothouse of comfort. If the apology you're being "freed from" was never actually demanded by anyone, you're cultivating weeds in an empty garden, tending to threats that exist only in the soil of your imagination. differsense.substack.com

This isn't about grammar. It's about how we construct reality through language. You need to ask: Who's missing from this sentence? Whose hand is being hidden? Because when the subject disappears, so does the accountability. open.substack.com/pub/differse...

Actions only speak louder than words if you’re actually paying attention to the actions to see if they match. Otherwise, the words win by default because they’re easier, shinier, and designed so you don't have to think too hard (or read past the headlines). open.substack.com/pub/citizenb...

I cannot change the past but I can recognize that we have made terrible choices as a country and we have failed the most vulnerable of our citizens (often on purpose). I cannot undo what was done, but I can damn sure refuse to look away while it happens again. substack.com/@shaynej/not...

What if American workers decided the only ones entitled to be "too big to fail" are us – the ones whose labor built your platforms, whose attention became your product, whose data trained your models, & whose spending made you untouchable? substack.com/@shaynej/not... #AI #Accountability #Leadership

Fear is contagious, but so is courage. I remain steadfast in my oath to the Constitution and am grateful to those across the nation who stand with us. Don't give up the ship.

The holiday season is almost here — and that means primary season is right around the corner. We’re kicking off our primary program next week and you can learn which elections our groups are excited to jump into: www.mobilize.us/indivisible/...

Every 74 seconds, someone in the U.S. commits a s3xual assault. Every nine minutes, that perpetrator targets a child. As much as I support the release of the files and want justice for every one of the survivors, we cannot forget that this is also bigger than Epstein. substack.com/profile/3311...

Right now, people across the country are stepping up in beautiful, practical ways. Here's how YOU can show up. substack.com/profile/3311...

#Elections have consequences... and we've seen a lot of consequences lately. Local races often have immediate impact on your community. Low turnout means a small group of voters makes decisions for everyone else. Make your voice count! #vote #trump #electionday #resist #voting #us #uspolitics

Dante, buddy, I think you missed a circle of hell for the people who simultaneously create suffering and prevent anyone else from alleviating it. civileats.com/2025/11/03/u... #us #uspol #uspolitics #politics #food #hunger #SNAP #Trump #shutdown #gopshutdown #republicanshutdown

Since 1975, $79 TRILLION (that’s right, I said TRILLION) has been redistributed from the bottom 90% to the top 1%. The trick? Making you think this was normal. The treat? The look on their faces when we take it back. #Halloween #TrickOrTreat #WeThePeople #uspolitics #indivisible #followthemoney

26% increase in insurance premiums, and I'm just one person - the increase would be devastating if I had to cover other members of my family. They're holding SNAP and WIC hostage so they can increase your insurance premiums so they can line their pockets.

Hey Mikey. I've got questions. Why are your salaries considered essential when you're not working? Which part of being a "co-equal branch" suggests you get to clock out when its hard? Is the plan to resolve this via telepathy, or are you banking on thoughts and prayers doing the legislative work?

I'm not a fan of #TheResistance. Resistance is a reaction. It exists within a frame of a legitimate govt. It's not enough. The people are what powers everything - our money, our labor, our data. Billionaires & politicians are irrelevant without us. Quit resisting. Start asserting your power.

When you break systems, there are widespread consequences. This is what my papa would call "cutting your nose off to spite your face". It's what I call unacceptable cruelty, bad business, and sh*tty governance.

Here's our chance to actually embody the Thanksgiving myth: to help our fellow Americans when they're struggling. Donate to your local food banks. They need it now more than ever. teamfeed.feedingamerica.org/participants...

I can't muster outrage over the destruction of a building - not after what we've witnessed this year. I'm saving my outrage for the actual humans who are being treated as pawns by billionaires and con men. Our taxes are funding this bs, all while our food, housing and healthcare costs skyrocket.

Your neighbors need your help. The shutdown is affecting military, civilian and contractor federal employees and their families as well as food insecurity programs like SNAP, TEFAP, WIC. Join my Team Feed Virtual Food Drive. Every $1 donated helps provide at least 10 meals. Link in comments.

Build Connections That Can Weather Any Storm Isolated people are easier to control. Authoritarian movements work to isolate people from each other, to make us suspicious of our neighbors, to convince us that we can’t trust anyone except Dear Leader. open.substack.com/pub/citizenb...

Stop letting your brain talk you out of your own power. The mental game is half the battle, and most of us are losing it. Here's how to win: citizenbadazz.substack.com/p/the-art-of...

You are a moron 47! We will not give our sons and daughters, brothers and sisters, husbands and wives, friends and lovers to another goddamned war. And fuck you too Congress for standing by with your thumbs up your asses while he did it!

Trump announced his first presidential campaign 10 years ago today. If we really want to prevent future Trumps from coming to power, we will need to address the root causes of his rise. https://youtu.be/zTQoc5Jrciw?si=YUwHCh8OvNAKdBhA

Your resources – ALL of them, not just your money – are exactly what every corporation, political campaign, and power structure depends on to function. You are literally the engine that runs everything, and you may be funding the problem while fighting the symptoms open.substack.com/pub/citizenb...

I spent years obsessing over product reviews and price comparisons but never once asked "WHO am I giving my money to?" Turns out I was accidentally bankrolling a bunch of stuff I claimed to oppose. 🤦‍♀️ Stop funding the problem while fighting the symptoms. citizenbadazz.substack.com/p/youre-fund...

It’s shameful that our troops are being used as props in 47’s SDE parade. If you’re really badazz, you don’t need to tell people or make audacious displays - they already know. www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...
