We also should not accept an answer of "no we can't" and "we don't have the power". They must. They do. 👇🏿👇🏾👇🏼

Even in little Vermont towns, we showed up today

Let's GOOOO! I'll see you out there, Vermont. Let's show 'em what we're made of. Today, we are reminded of our power. Today, we remind fascists there are more of us than there are of them. Today, we remind each other that we have friends everywhere. #NoKings

I don't post on here often because my brain is altogether too much occupied with the activism/life/work balance, but I do want to share these things for folk feeling overwhelmed/steamrolled by the sheer volume of awful for figuring out HOW to help in these tubrulent times: /1

Be loud, Vermont. Gov Scott is happy to enable fascists. Just because he's the least outspoken of them and appears moderate does not make him any less problematic

I'm so angry. In my state? Right here? Let the chief know how you feel. Rattle the windows of the state and house. Disgusting. Unacceptable. www.southburlingtonvt.gov/335/Office-o...

Hey, #Vermont -- she's the real deal. This is our Mamdani moment. Let's not blink.

The lashing out of authoritarianism is because it's circling the drain...the last hurrah of a system we are rejecting. We have to be persistent, keep the pressure on. Don't let the mfers tell you that we have no power. This terrifies them.

A thing of beauty, this. This is the country we are working to build...this is the society we have the capacity to create. Will it be easy? No. But we cannot let apathy rule us, we have to keep hoping and working because the fascists' success hinges on us giving up.

Kristi Noem being shuffled into some other inane position doesn't exactly feel like accountability

They need to hear this regularly and loudly. I don't want to hear that they'll never be held accountable. That's up to us, because nobody else will hold these fascists to account but us. It may not be tomorrow or next week or next year, but they'll have it coming. That's my rep!

I think a lot about how shame is not a useful emotion, because it doesn't change people for the better. It's the idea of "I'm a loathesome person" and the good people will take it and apologize for existing and the shitty ones lash out because they hate themselves. Case in point, the US regime rn

🔥 If only holding their feet to the fire actually changed these people

I'm gonna start blocking accounts that suddenly follow me, have no description in their profile, are following a lot of activists, 0 posts or replies, and have a sketchy af username with a lot of numbers in it. I suspect we're going to see a lot more of this...

Okay now Governor Scott will do this next. Right? Right? #Vermont

"Hope is not a naïve emotion. It is a sober responsibility. Hope is what we do when the odds are long and the options limited. It is the stubborn act of trying when despair feels easier." I needed this today. That's exactly what we're working for...choosing hope and fighting.

And then corporations are getting their money back while we're left here empty-handed. Evil grifters gonna grift

I for one would like to know how Nazgul the not-wolf goodboi ranked

Boosting for whatever reach this may have. Reporter @lidiaterrazas.bsky.social crossed the border to stay with the family and baby. She's a damn hero. DHS and ICE deported them because it was the cruellest thing they could do. That's it. www.instagram.com/p/DU4s-TyDL-...

I think a lot about how we were told to stay away from strangers as a kid, or be careful and stay in groups with friends, because there were bad people who'd take you away. Those bad people are this fascist regime and their gestapo thugs.

Lunacy. Was reminded yesterday by an organizer friend that MAGA is circling the drain. Trump and Co. are going to escalate the violence because they're losing. May the ones who've stood up remain safe. Keep the courage. This'll be a rough one.

Brave little state 😂

Five alarm fire. And if it passes, we need to litigate the hell out of it

I don't know what it'll take for everyone to say as much and then ACT. How much more evidence? We've had a thousand smoking guns. People act on far less if their coworker is stealing their lunch I appreciate @balint.house.gov has really raised the bar on what our legislators should be doing

"Ever since the Greenland dialogue has elevated, my colleagues are telling me that they question our commitment,” Sfraga said. Overseas colleagues are def more reluctant to collab because of this wannabe dictatorship. Decades of diplomacy & work down the drain www.arctictoday.com/greenland-te...

So are we gonna start a tax strike or what Like funnel our income taxes through our state and they distribute it and withhold from the feds if they're not delivering? thehill.com/newsletters/...

This is the future of politics we are all fighting for It's so wholesome I just can't

My gods I didn't know a post could be this perfect

I can't believe this has to be explained. The ghouls in the WH are classic abusers and will gaslight and tell you you're overreacting

With the disgusting racism coming out of the White House, looming threat of stolen elections, ICE to show up at voting locations, the depravity and cruelty of the elite and rich...remember hope. Remember goodness. There are more of us. People are waking up. New York chose THIS. Remember this: Try.

Tell Your Members of Congress to rein in ICE NOW. Do not mince your words! Whatever state you're in, be loud, be persistent. I called out Sen. Welch before Sen. Sanders and Rep. Balint. Shame him to the mountains to get him to do the right thing. act.indivisible.org/sign/ice-out...

When are we going to widely talk about demonic husk Stephen Miller running the presidency? He's gotta be making the Idiot Truth Social posts They're all ghouls but he's pulling the strings

A bit of hope. Now this for all the children and detainees, please. Don't let anyone ever tell you that what we do as individuals toward this collective good doesn't make a difference.

If your heart doesn't break seeing this child imprisoned, kidnapped, sleeping, may you never know a good night's rest. He should be in his own bed, in his own room, at home, having a goddamn childhood like every other child ought to I'm so angry

Hey, Vermont! Artist @twinkletaters.bsky.social came up with our own rebel phoenix, in hermit thrush form: www.dianamarieclarke.com #Vermont #Resist

Don't look away. This brave woman, this traumatized woman...she's speaking out.

I do love when the monster starts to eat its own If this isn't performative, I hope she and Miller and the rest of them experience all that they dole out to the ones they dehumanise Tick tock, tick tock!

👇🏿👇🏾👇🏼

Colour me surprised "This culture of violence toward women and children is visible in ICE agents’ officially-sanctioned actions, and the Department of Homeland Security’s unconditional support for their acts of violence." www.lgbtqnation.com/2026/01/quic...

I cannot emphasize her courage enough

This, this, this: this is needed courage, this is resiliency. Rep. Omar is a bonafide badass. Embody this. I don't know what he was spraying, but that could have been acid! She kept going. Note that the depraved man who attacked her is very much alive.

You cannot reform lowlifes whose training and belief systems are founded on dehumanising others and inflicting the greatest levels of cruelty upon them

Jfc THEY ARE COLOUR CODED What the hell happened to never again? Colonialism again and again and again, in all of its wretchedness, intended to erase, intended to destroy for the sake of destruction. It will never be enough to push facists back, fascism must be destroyed at the roots and kept so

How much more? How many more? Five years old. FIVE YEARS OLD. My god.

🔥 NOW IS THE TIME. How many more? We have detained, abused children screaming to be released in Texas. Multiple deaths-- executions. Bovino stepping down is a bloody distraction and NOT justice. Do not obey in advance. Do NOT yield momentum now. How many more will it take? 🔥 nationalshutdown.org

Not low enough. Let's make the bar somewhere in hell, and push these disgusting losers to quit in droves Here they thought people would be cheering on their assholery. Kind does not mean weak, bellends

Alex Pretti, murdered by execution. ICE are the embodiment of evil. They held him down for defending a woman, and took their impotence and self-loathing out on a man who would stand for more in a single moment than they had their entire lives.

Nobody is coming to save us except us. Democrats voted with Republicans to continue funding ICE. Arm yourselves. The dead or lost children won't thank us for doing this with civility. ICE will empty 9-10 rounds into us knowing full well they can abuse us. Trump will call martial law anyway.

How many more? How many more people have to be dead before people are engaged? How many dead before Congress stops sitting on their hands and doing nothing? How many more?

Remember this: Try.
