"Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that." Looking forward to seeing Jimmy back on the air.

You'd be hard-pressed to find a bigger Star Wars fan than me - but I can do without while Disney is actively capitulating to this unprecedented assault on free speech. Fuck you, Bob.

We have received many questions about whether it’s safe to sign up for No Kings protests while Trump ramps up his attacks on free speech.

🚨 Big news: @markruffalo.bsky.social will also join us tonight! We hope to see you in an hour at the No Kings mass kickoff call as we look ahead to our next nationwide day of defiance: www.mobilize.us/nokings/even...

25 of the businesses said yes! It was great to talk to folks about what to do in the event of an ICE raid and give them a hotline to call if needed. It feels good to do something and talk to people. @coin-indivisible.bsky.social @indivisible.org @leahgreenberg.bsky.social @ezralevin.bsky.social

Went to a show at the sphere yesterday and it’s clear to me that we must build one in every American city, and in DC use it as the new capitol building

Noticing rumors

Just unabashed fascism. Awful implications for the residents of D.C. and for the prospect of first amendment activity in our capital.

We spend lots of time parsing through all the preexisting trends that made the rise of an American fascism possible, and that's all true enough, but it's still a huge contingent factor that Donald Trump is a literal freak of nature, a sui generis pathological bundle of min-maxed personality traits.

Make your voice heard. Register now!! Limited seating!

the actual communication problem democrats have is this: their most prominent national figures filter everything through focus grouped lines and are incapable of plain speech

I strongly encourage moderate organizations to primarily focus on language policing. I will be busy organizing all of your people, who are radiantly furious with Democrats and ready to clean house

Sucks to suck

working on big things

Humiliating for everyone involved, tbh

Alex Acosta is the most under-reported part of the whole Epstein saga (because he's the part that makes Trump look guiltiest)

popular anti-fascism as taxpayer revolt...might have some legs

I actually think gerrymandering is actually the perfect litmus test for democrats: If you don’t you want to do everything in your power to defeat the fascists, then you should be replaced with a democrat who does

If your senator is Andy Kim, or one of the 27 Democrats who voted for these critical resolutions, please give them some appreciation. It shouldn’t take bravery to take this moral stand against forced starvation, and yet our fucked up politics require it. We need to welcome that bravery.

If you work in higher ed, you need to get your folks together and end the use of course evals or at least bar their consideration in evaluation, promotion, and hiring. This needed to happen yesterday because they don't measure learning, they measure instructor gender, but now it's a snitch pool.

They all have choices. Nobody has to do this. Nobody has to do it because they did. What a bunch of fucking losers.

What can Andor teach us about fighting authoritarianism? A lot, it turns out—and fans are taking that message to the streets. Meredith Blake joins @indivisible.org's Leah Greenberg to discuss the unlikely link between Star Wars fandom and real-world resistance.

There's no conceivable reason a Democrat should be voting to advance--let alone be the savior of--a Trump nominee. Come the fuck on.

really leaning into the Isard Cosplay here

Any elected Democrat resistant to redistricting strategies is simply not built for this moment, and should probably consider a career change.

14 words with an HH. Our government is currently occupied by a fascist movement that 250,000 Americans died to defeat 80 years ago, now led by a pedophile.

say hello to the new college of florida in manhattan

official DHS account posting fourteen word long tweets with the H's randomly capitalized groyper occupied government

Don't send your child to Columbia University and this is especially true if they will be an international student.

Columbia is run by losers. This will "settle" nothing. It just firmly establishes them as cowardly marks who will continue to be squeezed for more concessions and money by this fascist administration.

so when you… • force this tech on most everyone • block it from acknowledging trans people even exist • remove lgbtq people from human rights reporting & allow ICE to conceal info on trans people in custody …it seems like a good time for cis folks to stop considering political “compromises.”

What we're looking at is a massive cover-up scandal in which the Attorney General, the FBI, and congressional Republicans spiked investigations and shut down the legislative branch to conceal information that the President of the United States is directly implicated in the big famous pedophile ring

if i had a nickel for every time a Florida official who helped sweep the Epstein case under the rug ended up in Trump's cabinet, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice

It’s old pervert week at the White House

Regret to inform everyone that I did absolutely eat at electric forest last month

I’m not usually a “he’s trying to distract” person, but he’s definitely just rattling keys for his base to distract from the backlash he’s getting for concealing the pedophile list he’s probably on

the full set of photos i took at charlottesville's "no kings" protest. i lugged around my 4x5 setup to shoot handheld (and had to repair the rangefinder on the fly!) and the results were pretty great. i should do it more often!

Everyone involved in this should be embarrassed—this grifting clickbait culture is a huge contributor to the degradation of the culture and reputation of the party.

Still here

It’s official: Over 1,000 events are planned for No Kings Day on June 14. While Trump wastes nearly $100 million on his birthday parade in DC, we will be taking to the streets everywhere else to show the world what democracy really looks like. Find your local event: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

If you liked Andor definitely check out Star Wars Reign of the Empire: Mask of Fear by Alexander Freed

On the brighter side of the news: We're still three weeks out from #NoKings and we're already closing in fast on 1,000 scheduled events nationwide (plus Canada, England, and Italy). Is there one near you yet?

A weird Star Wars discourse thing is that people decided Mon Mothma was lib coded when she’s the equivalent of a member of the House of Lords using her family fortune to bankroll the IRA
