@schumer.senate.gov DO NOT AGREE TO THIS TERRIBLE "DEAL" The pain it causes will be worse than that caused by the shutdown--AND it will be permanent. When will you understand, that this is NOT politics as usual? This is a fascist regime consolidating power. You must fight back.

Is it too much to hope that they will SELF DESTRUCT??? www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

I never thought I'd think of judges as heroes for "simply" doing their jobs of upholding the law. But, there you have it: THANK YOU JUDGE ELLIS! www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...

Phew. Here's my #hopeful news for the day. For all us readers and writers who think market dependence stifles good literature #amwriting #smallpress #writingcommunity #publishing

Poll observers & attorneys needed Nov 1-4 in #California Many voters fear intimidation by federal agents at polls. Let's make sure EVERY CITIZEN feels safe voting. Training sessions 11/30 so sign up now: fs3.formsite.com/CADEM2011/1y... REPOST #resist

Yup

We need to remember that Trump himself--narcissistic, mercenary, old--is only the face of a regime run by fascist ideologues in the prime of life. We need to look beyond the the demented King, to those who have used him to consolidate power #resist #fascism www.democracynow.org/2025/10/21/r...

Seriously, no terrorist group has ever caused as many deaths in the U.S. as our morally bankrupt GOP legislators are set to do. Call your senators and tell them to hold the line. We have suggested scripts for both sides of the aisle. (indivisibleventura.org/2025/10/23/w...)

My "hopeful" re-post of the day: regular citizens successfully supporting each other and standing up to ICE. I don't know if we can all be this brave, but let's try! #resist #ICE

I fear too many Americans don't understand the horrors of a fascist regime, even when it stares them in the face--that our education system has failed to teach world history. (Fox is already a de-facto state-run media, and 40% rely on it for news, if they pay attention at all)

There you have it, the iconic photo. Title: "Demolition of American Democracy"

Uuf, can we all just get back to doing science, writing novels, and watching birds, instead of trying to stave off fascism and catastrophic climate change? Anyway, here's a nice #PhD op for bird lovers #ornithology #ecology #evolutionarybiology #birds

My "good news" post for the day

Hey, wo sind die Omas gegen Rechts in Bremen und Berlin? Wir brauchen sie dringend für den NO KINGS Proteste am 18.10! #omasgegenrechts #Bremen #Berlin @indivisibleabroad.bsky.social

#resistance tools...

Bremer auf Bluesky, mach mit! In solidarity with millions resisting fascist takeover of US, die Deutschen müssen auch wachsam bleiben! www.mobilize.us/nokings/even... @karachoerna.bsky.social @kevinsvw99.bsky.social @crashbug.bsky.social @monezukunftland.bsky.social #Bremen

The director of the National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion has just been laid off.

Trump is just the face of a MAGA DICTATORSHIP comprising a handful of white supremacists, radical right religious fanatics, & unethical billionaires, and an elaborate propaganda machine. What happens when T falls, is anybody's guess--but fall he must.

#omasgegenrechts #Bremen Wir brauchen Euch! Samstag, 18.10, 13:00 Uhr

"We have to understand that this is not about fighting ICE agents that are quote, unquote, carrying ‘carrying out immigration enforcement.’ What we are fighting is fascism.” Thank you @jessiefuentes.bsky.social #Chicago

CAN WE MAKE THIS MORE VISIBLE beyond NPR? (Whatever "immigrants" means: people of color, with and without documents, legal residency, citizenship... People whose parents or grandparents immigrated (whose didn't?). Their friends & neighbors, anyone trying to protect them from being disappeared...)

This is the kind of blatantly fascist intimidation that only my most politically engaged friends in Germany are hearing about @weserkurier.bsky.social faz.net/datenschutz

NON-COMPLIANCE with #ICE WORKS (sometimes)

Gotta repost a bit of HOPE...

His slip of the tongue reveals who’s really in charge. trib.al/AoXcgAq “Illinois governor says we’re provoking actions that are unlawful,” Miller said on CNN. “If I put federal law enforcement and National Guard into a nice sleepy Southern town, is anyone gonna riot?”

WHERE IS CHICAGO POLICE, who should be protecting their citizens from the violence and lawlessness of ICE thugs??? @mayorofchicago.bsky.social @govpritzker.illinois.gov #Chicago

#Bremen friends: Join us Oct 18 to show solidarity with the millions of Americans who will be stepping out in their cities and towns to resist the MAGA police state--and warn your compatriots about the dangers of modern fascism #MARUM #AWI #unibremen www.mobilize.us/nokings/even...

#Resist #OCT18 #NOKINGS

#chicago #ice

YES! Finally. THIS is what it means to protect your residents. Can you take a page from this playbook LA and Chicago? #LAPD #Chicago #police #ICE

#Resist complicity!

I'm reposting personal videos from the streets because it's important to know about the #resistance and repression around the country and the news is not reporting. I'm in Europe now, and my German friends said they had no clue there was so much resistance to the regime in the US. #Chicago

@wisarchive.bsky.social #womeninscience

I can't do this, because I'm not, but if you consider yourself a Christian, READ THIS THREAD and #resist

I'm in #Bremen on Oct 18, dragging my apolitical German kids & friends to a protest against fascism, in solidarity with the massive resistance effort in the US that day. Join us? www.mobilize.us/nokings/even...

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat. For the crime of … complaining about government policy. Core 1A speech. With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

This is what fascism looks like. Let's support those brave lawyers & judges who are holding the front line against its advance #resist www.democracydocket.com/analysis/law...

Oh, thanks for the cedar waxwings, giving Portland a little love! #birds

I can only think: Who is that poor girl and is she conscious?
