Stand in solidarity with Minnesota’s general strike tomorrow (Fri 1/23). Find your event here. Scroll down for list of demand La and further down for map of actions. www.iceoutnowmn.com

I don’t make a habit of listening to speeches out of Davos, but this is genuinely one for the history books: a clear-eyed acknowledgment that the old international order was partly a fiction and is now a lie, and a call to act collectively to build resilience and sovereignty in the face of hegemony.

Today is not business as usual. It’s the day we withdraw consent. We walk out because freedom requires action, not silence. #FreeAmerica #FreeAmericaFromFascism www.freeameri.ca/walkout-day

Today, we walk out everywhere with @womensmarch. This is a protest and a promise. We are done cooperating with fascism. We are building a Free America together. #FreeAmericaWalkout #FreeAmerica www.freeameri.ca/walkout-day

Labor is leverage. Cooperation is consent. Today we walk out of work, school, and commerce to interrupt fascism. This is what people power looks like in real time. #FreeAmericaFromFascism #FreeAmerica Please share! www.freeameri.ca/walkout-day

Today, we walk out. Because a Free America is the only America worth fighting for. We pull our labor, our money, and our consent. No business as usual. Power moves when we do. #FreeAmericaWalkout #FreeAmerica

@mariaressa.bsky.social ’s call at UNGA could not be more urgent. The time for AI self-regulation is over. 200 Nobel laureates, former heads of state, and industry experts just signed a statement: "We urgently call for international red lines to prevent unacceptable AI risks"

Please watch @mariaressa.bsky.social warning America AGAIN with Jon Stewart. See why we are going through Aramageddon and why it's better than an apocalypse: youtu.be/Tsb1I7hqaJ4?...

I am incensed. This is all so heartbreaking and despicable. The Iranian people do not deserve this violence. We do not deserve this governance. The world does not deserve this. These outrages must end.

It’s the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse

An actual opposition party would be climbing over each other to file articles of impeachment, listing his wrongs and talking impeachment nonstop at every occasion, encouraging protesters and showing up with them in the streets

The Minnesota shooter who killed state Rep. Melissa Hortman wasn’t a lone wolf, insists a scholar of political violence. And the myth of the isolated madman obscures the networked reality of far-right violence and makes it harder to prevent the next attack. buff.ly/zDPigDV #polisky

It’s a good thing Congress isn’t alive to see this

Trump's war on Iran is illegal, immoral and will advance the MAGA Murder agenda against the will of Americans. Congress must convene an emergency session and end Trump's war.

The escalation of US involvement against Iran has happened. When I wake up, I hope the promised retaliation hasn’t happened and that calmer heads can prevail. What a mess. www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...

Oh…

You want to hear what "return on investment" means in relation to NSF funding? I know you do...

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government. No one has heard from you in 43 days. As vigil, I’m posting a photo of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

🤮

It is past time to stop allowing ourselves to be bullied.

It's all vendetta all the time in that white house. The banality of evil has never been more banal and small-minded.

Global travel warning for anyone thinking of visiting the United States. It is not safe, find somewhere else. #EndImpunity

I just wrote a letter to Skadden demanding they stand on the right side of history. You can do the same.

Read this entire thread. Rachel Cohen is a hero and we need to demand that Skadden and the other law firms show courage and integrity. Caving does not just throw us all under the bus, history proves they will lose in the end, too.

Tonight, hours after the Paul Weiss news broke, an associate at Skadden Arps sent a firm-wide email: "Please consider this email my two week notice, revocable if the firm comes up with a satisfactory response to the current moment...We do not have time. It is now or it is never..."

New around here, hi! For those who'd like a big old dose of "yes we can" energy, please check out Words to Win By where every episode details a campaign we've won somewhere and delves into the research, messaging & strategies used to do it. wordstowinby-pod.com

As we reckon with each MAGA horror, vital to not repeat name they use. Calling it "Alien Enemies Act" puts those odious words into discourse, amplifying favored right wing idea that non US born folks are dangerous. It's the 1798 Wartime Act - to highlight how utterly absurd.

Fabulously fighting fascism, with choreo!!!

If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company. It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create. They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms. I’m happy to invest and/or help

All probationary federal employees at NOAA’s EMC that’s responsible for keeping all US weather model systems running have been fired with 1 hours notice. And that includes me and colleagues. We will not go quietly because we care about the NOAA mission to protect the public.

I think about this headline all of the time.

There might be a lot to be upset about, and things may seem dark… but the kindness and generosity of people will never cease to humble and astound me. Thank you.

Due to the Musk/Trump Administration’s draconian cuts, the National Science Foundation is significantly scaling back its program to provide college students with paid summer research internships. Many of my colleagues attribute their start in science to this program. www.science.org/content/arti...

Does anyone know who’s organizing the @standupforscience.bsky.social march in Boston? I’d like to connect, but haven’t had any luck going through the main organization (which I suspect is inundated with emails and DMs, so I completely understand!).

american masculinity is so amazing. caring about clothes as a man apparently makes you "gay" but our position on geopolitics totally depends on whether you wear a suit

A draft-dodging dump dupe…

Hell yeah, this is the leadership we need!

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

Please call @gregcasar.bsky.social and thank him for Bringing the Fight and for getting the damning truth out there. You don't have to be from his TX district to benefit from his courageous work. (202) 225-5645 www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZRJj...

“I think we’re due for a renewal of demanding that the people who are giving us information about our lives tell the truth about it.” @hcrichardson.bsky.social explains how presidential integrity has eroded to the point where lies go unchecked—but Americans are taking notice & taking action.

The flying public needs answers. How many FAA personnel were just fired? What positions? And why?

The @washingtonpost.com refused to run this “Fire Elon Musk” wrap and ad thehill.com/media/514849...

Less than a month since a crash that took 67 lives, Trump is firing hundreds of federal employees who inspect and maintain air traffic control communications, radio and computer systems.  This is extremely dangerous and could have deadly consequences. www.cnn.com/2025/02/16/p...

Real people are suffering because of this administration’s dismantling of our government. They are depraved, soulless, godless people.

Just a little gathering I went to for Not My President’s Day…

In Germany over 200,000 protestors in Munich gathered against the Musk backed far-right / neo-Nazi AfD ahead of the German election. Thousands chanted "Save Democracy" and "Oppose Nazis" #3E

Thank you Patty Murray

I was there at his office. Thank you for hearing us and standing up for us Senator Padilla ❤️🙏@padilla.senate.gov
