Hey guys I know it's really hard to be conscious of your health right now, so please remember that after every hour muttering "wtf" while scrolling on your phone you should stand up and banshee scream for at least 5 minutes to stretch out your lower back

TONIGHT: Our friends at the @aclu.org are hosting a know your rights training. Before taking to the streets on No Kings Day, stop by to learn about your constitutional right to peacefully protest and best practices for reducing risks.

Here's my bottom line: Much of what they are doing is bad. Much of what they are doing is unpopular. Pushback is working. We are winning. Keep fighting. Be creative. Push for what you'd want. Allow for insiders and outsiders. Realize that change takes time. Reduce harm in the meantime.

If you know someone too overwhelmed by the news to engage with the idea of collective action, my little newsletter may be just the thing. Give it a share if you think it may help.

AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH

Hillary Clinton is my Roman Empire.

AAAHHHH

I made a little newsletter for overwhelmed or discouraged folks looking to re-engage with democracy without getting pulled under. 3 sentences of bad news. 3 sentences of encouraging news. 3 things they can actually do. 3x a week. Do you know someone who needs a way in? Let's get them on board!

Happy Valentine’s Day to @samstroozas.bsky.social specifically

Your friendly Valentine’s Day reminder that our love is not up for debate. 💕

Last week, lawmakers in both the House and Senate renewed their push to pass the SAVE Act, introducing multiple new versions of this awful bill that could prevent more than 21 million Americans from voting. Tell your senators to stop this attack on the freedom to vote: bit.ly/4tmVIor

Three quick bits of bad news, three reasons to cheer, and three ways to do good (plus many more in the Action Library). Today's 3 to Get Ready: 3togetready.com/three-to-get...

“There’s no single answer that will solve all our future problems. There’s no magic bullet. Instead there are thousands of answers—at least. You can be one of them if you choose to be.” ― Octavia E. Butler, A Few Rules for Predicting the Future: An Essay

Does it feel like so much has happened since Wednesday? Let's focus in and do...something! Visit the Action Library for more ideas. 3togetready.com/three-to-get...

Shooting citizens in broad daylight makes for some strange bedfellows, but here we are. Let's keep going, taking inspiration from the good people of Minnesota. 3togetready.com/three-to-get...

We must keep going, doing what little we can. Doing something—anything—counts. If anyone says our efforts aren’t that effective or impressive, we say eff off and keep going anyway. When we can do more, we do more, but we always keep going.

🚨 SCHUMER just now: “Senate Democrats will not provide the votes to proceed to the appropriations bill if the DHS funding bill is included.”

You do not need to traumatize yourself to be a better person, a better activist, to better oppose the people and forces engaged in this murderous evil. You just need to know it's happening and take action.

Welp, it's been a week. But courts and juries aren't having it, so let's do like the good people of Minneapolis and KEEP GOING! 3togetready.com/three-to-get...

Jack Smith: "My fear is that we have seen the rule of law function in our country for so long that many of us have come to take it for granted. The rule of law is not self-executing. It depends on our collective commitment to apply it."

Science, privacy, and the line between public service and private enrichment keep taking hits, but religious leaders are stepping up, as are House Democrats. How about you? (I've got some ideas.)

Hi there. I went and stood on an overpass today and it turns out that radical left scum are mostly just ladies of a certain age who are organized (like, with Ziploc bags and wagons) and good at showing up. So don’t be scared to show up yourself.

if i could give one broad direction to people: stop being afraid of doing something. take some initiative. find a group near you. pick up the boxes that need hauling. bring food. take out the trash. see a need that is unmet? get some friends together and do the thing. organize your niche.

A good thing to do for democracy today would be…anything. Just do something. 20+ ideas and counting. 3togetready.com/action-libra...

They hate us so much but we love each other more

Dear effing bitches, antifa wine moms, and all: Would you like me to email you an easy-read news update and 3 action ideas, 3x a week? (Of course you do.) Sign up at 3togetready.com

The increasingly common habit of screenshotting the AI summary of a Google search and presenting it as evidence must be nipped in the bud immediately. That is nothing. That is not anything, it is not a thing.

AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH

Bad news persists, but so do we, taking inspiration from brave objectors and doing what we can, when we can. Do you have room in your week for a postcard ... or more? 3togetready.com/three-to-get...

My latest project...3 emails a week with 3 quick bits of bad news, 3 reasons to believe things can get better, and 3 things you can do. Democracy is for everyone...including people who are overwhelmed and discouraged. Let me help you get going!

A good thing to do TONIGHT is attend ACLU’s one-hour Zoom training on protest rights and de-escalation. act.aclu.org/a/aclukyr

Two actions you can take right now⤵️ 📣Tell Congress to block additional funding for ICE: act.nilc.org/page/92601/a... 📣Urge your state legislators to fight back against secret police tactics: act.nilc.org/page/91483/a...

We’re setting up a national call to discuss the killing and lawlessness by ICE in Minneapolis. We’ll be joined by leaders who will provide concrete next steps for a national response. We hope you can join us: www.mobilize.us/indivisible/...

Congress has ignored the federal law requiring hanging in the Capitol by 3/2023 the plaque promising never to forget the heroism of those who risked all to defend Congress’ members and the Constitution. This essay by the great Jamie Raskin makes good on that promise. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/06/o...

Is this you? Stay tuned for help!

Let’s never give up on each other ❤️

Good job with the holiday cards, people! Some of you worked REAL hard to signal your wishes for a political sea change whilst maintaining a sense of cheerful goodwill toward men. Some of you worked less hard on that last part and I love those the most. 💙

Joy is resistance. Happy Hanukkah, friends. Keep sharing your light.

I hate that every week there's something stupid like an Everyone Has To Drink Pee Now Bill and the alert sounds to CALL YOUR REPRESENTATIVES THIS IS NOT A DRILL and you really wish you could just trust them to not go for the pee drinking bill

People are not garbage. 💫

How are you doing with your college kids home? Personally, I think college is SUCH a bargain, considering that freshmen come home after less than a semester knowing absolutely EVERYTHING. Here’s a hint you might want to drop before winter break…

one of the coolest things about ChatGPT is how you can actually just never use it. you can fill your whole entire life with simply not once using it. it's incredible.

And today's Sisyphean award goes to . . . Neighbor Dad, spotted raking, one-handed, everrrr so slowly, with a limp, sleeping, medium-sized baby strapped to his chest, in 20 mph winds.

I know I’ve been threatening to get my shit together from time to time over the past few years, but a fresh batch of new notebooks is arriving tomorrow, so you’d better watch out.
