Worried about what loss of scientific institutions, data & expertise means for health, disaster preparedness, education, etc? The Trump regime's war on science also has a huge social toll: tens of thousands of scientists are unemployed or unable to do their jobs for lack of funds #science

"Es ist nicht ausgeschlossen, dass es Populisten gelingen könnte, die Kontrolle über deutsche Universitäten zu übernehmen, die von Bundesländern verwaltet werden. Das hier soll durchaus eine Warnung sein: Wir brauchen eine präventive Verteidigung unserer Institutionen."

Hey world. Want to save your countries from fascism? Then please help shut down the US. Boycott our tech companies, cancel your vacations, conferences, meetings, urge your governments to place #sanctions. Stay away from the #WorldCup. And, while you're at it #BoycottFIFA altogether.

TODAY. Call/email/text your Congressmembers! Demand they vote NO on appropriations and funding bills that include funding for ICE/BP and DHS. Republican? Great, pls call now. Live in New York? Schumer and Jeffries really need to hear from you #ICEOUT act.indivisible.org/sign/ice-out...

🚨 BREAKING: Over 100 clergy at Target HQ in Downtown Minneapolis demanding justice #ICEOutOfMN #ICEOutForGood #ReneeGood 🎶 “We can stay here all day, we shall not be moved. We are shopping elsewhere, we shall not be moved.” 🔗 Watch live: www.facebook.com/share/v/1ALf...

Just a biologist's random Adelie penguin video to brighten the dystopian panorama... #birds

In small towns across America, vigils just like this one have been taking place all weekend ❤️❤️✊️✊️

New York City turned OUT. @handsoffnyc.bsky.social ✊❤️

Dear World, Please place sanctions on the U.S. federal government. It will hurt less than the world war the Trump regime is unleashing. Yours truly, A desperate U.S., sometimes expat, citizen #sanctionUS #resist

We put out a call for #ICEOutForGood vigils 24 hours ago. There are now more than 1000 events taking place across the country this weekend. Find yours: www.mobilize.us?tag_ids=2913...

Congress won't remove Trump--but a 3rd impeachment is necessary "to uphold the rule of law," fill the media with "a kaleidoscopic panoply of Trumpian misdeeds" & hinder the regime by calling attention to misconduct and lawlessness newrepublic.com/post/205118/...

#resist NOW

#PORTLAND - ICE agents are pretending to be utility workers to kidnap people. Stay vigilent. Verify. #fuckICE www.oregonlive.com/politics/202...

DO NOT OPEN THE DOOR - #Minneapolis

#Minnesota #Governor #Walz @governorwalz.mn.gov do you have any #power vested in you directly #elected by #ThePeople to protect & defend Our rights against threats foreign & domestic to enforce the #RuleOfLaw in #MN?

This is what it's like to live in #fascist country. Resist now, while they're still shy of slaughtering white folks en masse, or soon we will face our own Tienanmen Square (PS. Just a reminder to self & others that this is how black folks have always lived in this country) #DisarmICE

PHONE/EMAIL YOUR REPUBLICAN SENATORS + Fetterman to demand a YES vote on the War Powers Resolution. Many oppose interventionist foreign "policy" and are angry that Trump/Hegseth are invading other countries without consulting Congress, which this Res mandates #Venezuela #Iran #Greenland #NoWar

A good overview of the oil story behind the US regime's invasion of #Venezuela: www.wired.com/story/trump-... #peakoil #climatechange

Comforting swan shenanigans to counter the news feed

Make that 80. Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth's latest mass murder. #Venezuela #Impeach

I can't wait for this beautiful novel (HERE IN THIS NEXT NEW NOW) to be published in its original English!! @jeanhegland.bsky.social

No one's talking about it, but just a reminder that more than 40 innocent Venezuelans were murdered in the latest, unprovoked U.S. military attack. #Venezuela

@schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social

@schiff.senate.gov DO MORE, TAKE THE LEAD TO STOP illegal military actions in Venezuela

Not the first time the U.S. has violated the UN Charter--but perhaps the most flagrant, unjustified, and unilateral. Call and message your congresspeople and party leaders now! #NOWAR #Venezuela

People who are saying that Trump's new National Security Strategy should not be taken seriously should ask themselves this: Was it right or wrong not to take Project 2025 seriously?

"If you say workers, you are already building a coalition. If you say working class, the room shrinks."

BOYCOTT AMAZON! If you want to give a copy of ACCIDENTALS to bird-loving, novel-reading family and friends this Christmas, please order from your local bookstore or directly from the non-profit Torrey House Press. You will be doing a good deed. bookshop.org/p/books/acci...

@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...

#amreading #amwriting #AMNOTBUYING

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

@indivisibleabroad.bsky.social NO KINGS, NO FASCISTS in Bremen Germany on Saturday

Here we are in good old Bremen, Germany for #NOKINGS2 @50501movement.bsky.social @indivisible.org #indivisibleabroad

Some 7 million in the US alone... and hundreds of thousands around the world
