Prepping nopales for breakfast. Want to know more? I’ll be teaching a free class on Cultivating Native Edible Plants at Watershed Management Group on Sept 17. Watershedmg.org to register. #eatyouryard

We have 50501 organizers on the ground right now, and they just got confirmation a bus with more detainees is coming. They also just overheard the cops on site say they have a minor in the car, so one of the detainees may be under 18. Will send more updates as we get them. Please help boost this!

“No Kings Motor March” in Tucson on June 14th. Register and get more details here. There are 1,150 protests scheduled around the US so far! No community is too small. Just a few people on the sidewalks with signs or a car parade will help send the message. #NoKings drivefordemocracy.com/about/

Let’s be clear: Social Security is your f*cking money.

1/2: We have reason to believe that events on 4/19 and/or the 50501 Movement may be misrepresented by the Trump admin in an attempt to justify the use of military force. Let us be clear: our movement is pro-democracy and firmly grounded in non-violence.

Mr. T the Desert Tortoise with a mouthful of flower brekkie.

Mr T kicking dirt in your face. #deserttortoise #reptiles #tortoise #critters #bedtime #tucson #arizona

RIP to my Rep Grijalva. He was a fine man and a fine Representative.

All mailboxes are full at all Senator Kelly's offices. Send an email to get your opinion on record.

One of my favorite indicators of Tucson spring! Mr. T woke up! He’s our 50-some year old Desert Tortoise and has been sleeping since late October. He’s groggy now, but in no time he will be romancing my rocking chair and demanding treats. #deserttortoise #reptile #desertdweller #tucson #arizona

Folks are asking, “what should I do in this moment?” One of the most passionate, progressive voices in Congress for 30 years, Oregon Sen. Ron Wyden answers that question. Here’s our conversation, inside a replica of the Senate chamber at the Edward M. Kennedy Institute: youtu.be/n_nQ-Moa9fI?...

This is who Trump is firing (thread 2 of 3): (1/?) Adm. Lisa Franchetti entered the Navy in 1985. She was designated a Surface Warfare Officer in 1989, and has nearly 20 years of operational and at-sea experience. She has commanded the USS Ross, two Carrier Strike Groups, and a Destroyer Squadron.

Don’t forget…today at Tesla 👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇

Teachers teach. We need a leaderful movement, and there are leaders all around us.

Is Doge Taking Credit for President Carter's Death?: An Investigative Report by a data junkie with too much time on his hands 1/6

State AGs are looking for federal workers who have just been illegally fired to stand as litigants in a new lawsuit trying to freeze further action by DOGE. DM me if that’s you and you’re interested and you’re live in one of the following states: NM, AZ, CA, CT, MD, MI, MN, NV, OR, WA, RI, or VT.

200+ protesters @ Tesla in Tucson this morning. The honking as cars drove by was almost constant. My inner 5-year old was most delighted by the big hauler truck that laid on the BIG horn ALL the way through the intersection #teslaprotests #endoligarchy #dumpdoge @maddow.msnbc.com @indivisible.org

Sat. 2/15 9:30 a.m. Protest Elon Musk at the Tesla dealership: 5081 Oracle Road. Meet in the Red Lobster parking lot NW corner River/Oracle. Educate the public about Musk's corruption, racism, and un-elected power-grab!

Elon Musk is a fucking terrorist!!!

That’s nothing. I found 13 contracts awarded to SpaceX since December totaling $77M. 1/

The American Bar Association is made up of all political affiliations, remaining committed to justice. This letter from Bar president William R. Bay speaks volumes.

I just lost my job, along with most of my coworkers, due to the illegal grant freeze. I worked at an organization that -helped veterans who have lost a limb -Assisted elderly and disabled people -Helped hospitals better treat people who have lost limbs

To all those saying "shouldn't we root out government inefficiency? What's wrong with DOGE?" a quick background on Constitutional law and why the WAY it is being violated exposes the true motives of the criminals:

SCOOP: A US Treasury threat intelligence analysis has designated DOGE staff an ‘insider threat'. An internal email reviewed by WIRED calls DOGE staff's access to federal payments systems “the single biggest insider threat risk the Bureau of the Fiscal Service has ever faced.”

Here's what's happened, if you're just tuning in: 1. Musk ally Tom Krause told the Treasury career staff to cut off USAID payments 2. The career staffer resisted, saying doing so is illegal 3. The career staffer was ousted by Trump team 4. Krause has now been installed as head of the payments system

Ain't good. Compared to Senate Dems, House Dems have less leverage. One exception is the budget fight. But here's the Dem House Leader TODAY declining to use that leverage. If you have a Dem rep, ask them to use their leverage. And tell them to tell Jeffries to lead. Stay tuned - more to come.

They’ve called armed federal officers to the scene. We aren’t dangerous. We are here to represent our people. To defend public education. This is an authoritarian regime. You cannot block members of Congress from entering the Department of Education.

ELON IS ALLOWED IN THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION. NOT YOUR ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES OR STUDENTS & PARENTS. I WILL BE BACK.

@thedemocraticparty.bsky.social is fighting back!

The Congressional Research Service is telling Congress that Trump cannot shut down US AID. Will they - and more specifically Republicans - listen, and act?https://crsreports.congress.gov/product/pdf/IN/IN12500

Josh Marshall. Cosign. "The standard should be no help on the budget or the debt ceiling until the lawbreaking stops. Period. End of story. No wilding gangs marauding through the federal government. End the criminal conduct. Period. That’s it. No nuance."

Now THERE’s the Senator I voted for! More of this!!

As I had hoped, and per my piece earlier this morning, plaintiffs in the DOGE Treasury case brought by Public Citizen have moved for. Temporary Restraining Order. A hearing on it is taking place in just a few minutes! The lawyers for retirees and unions suing the Treasury Department asked...

"We need an opposing plan to counter Project 2025." We have it already: the United States Constitution.

Scene at Treasury

If the President doesn’t want the job he has, that’s fine (and frankly better for us), but he just doesn’t get to outsource it to a random billionaire from South Africa.

Sen. Andy Kim brings direct attention to plight of an agency under attack by Trump and Musk.

“This is how the oligarchs, the billionaires, the fascists and people like Trump keep us down.” “Stop looking around for a person to blame and look up.” Thank you again to progressive champion Rep. @maxwellfrost.bsky.social for joining our action call with @moveon.org and @workingfamilies.org.

Thanks to the 50,000 people who skipped the first hour of the Grammys to join us tonight! I hope our toolkit helps with in-person actions around the country this week, but this is mostly up to you. Please send pics/video of your visits so we can help elevate! docs.google.com/document/d/1...

NEW: The board president of a small WV nonprofit says they haven't received their HHS funding since the Trump/Musk budget freeze. They had to lay off 3 of 5 employees on Friday. An 86-yr-old woman is counting on them to take her dialysis tomorrow. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

About 40k people are signed up for this call tonight. This is not a rally. We're going to be talking about what we can actually do wherever we live to be part of this fight. If you've been feeling overwhelmed or powerless, come hear us out. Tape the Grammys.

Hello from the Office of Personnel Management, aka the epicenter of Elon Musk’s coup. Reportedly Elon Musk’s team of cronies and interns have set up inside, locking federal employees out of government databases and illegally accessing trillions of dollars of government funds.

Hi all, We’re still here at OPM. We have a situation where we MIGHT, and I do mean, MIGHT have four of Elon’s people blocked from the building. Can we get press or a member of Congress down here? We’ve blocked them for two hours and they keep coming back and trying to go in.

Democrats aren’t powerless against Trump’s blitzkrieg power-grab. Senate rules are designed to protect the rights of the minority and Democrats have tools at their disposal to grind Senate business to a halt if Republicans try to ram through Trump’s extremist agenda: indivisible.org/resource/how...

Another FBI leader standing up for the rule of law “Today, we find ourselves in the middle of a battle of our own, as good people are being walked out of the FBI and others are being targeted because they did their jobs in accordance with the law and FBI policy." James Dennehy, FBI NY Field Office

Trump is in office. The only people who can do anything about that is Congress. And while there are things we can do to exert pressure on Congress to represent us, let's remember that Elon holds no office. We can physically throw that motherfucker overboard!

There will be a protest on SUNDAY Feb. 2 at 3:00 p.m. outside the federal Office of Personnel Management (OPM) bldg., where Musk & his cyber-thugs have seized control of the government's computers. 1900 E Street NW (corner of E and 19th Sts.), Wash. DC. Spread the word to DC area folks!
