Without due process, none of us is safe. We must protect the rule of law. We must all rise up, speak out and do everything in our power to protect democracy. No kings! No fascists!No dictators! #protectsemocracy #nokings #nodictators #nofaacists

It gets worse: The order found that the administration was covertly withholding millions in FEMA funds from blue states.

“The power of the people is greater than the power of the people in power” -Cory Booker at the end of his historic marathon speech

I just can’t believe the totality of their assault on the foundations of our democracy. This is nihilism, or I guess just what authoritarianism and kakistocracy look like. Never mind making it great. This isn’t even America anymore.

Here come the Judges who have judged Trump and Musk lawless.

To the cowardly Dems who voted with the Republicans to censure Rep. Al Green, are you even serious? A strategy for resisting may not be clear, but jumping sides and standing with MAGA is certainly not it. Who needs enemies… You are no better than the spineless Republicans. #ProtectDemocracy #Resist

Folks, #Trump is lying. He just said his plan calls for “no tax on tips, OT, or Social Security.” But the Tax Bill the House GOP just passed has absolutely none of this. Zero. Nada. Nothing. But it does have trillions in new tax cuts for billionaires. #TrumpSpeech #SOTU

“The days of rule by unelected bureaucrats are over.” Uh....

Much of the chaos of the past few weeks can be understood as part of the Trump administration’s "central ideological project: restoring America’s traditional hierarchies of race and gender," @adamserwer.bsky.social writes. Call it the “Great Resegregation."

Maybe it’s not practical because Republicans have no spine, but why are we not even talking about impeaching Donald Trump at this point? He is literally destroying our country and the entire liberal western order. #impeachhim #impeach #SaveDemocracy #StopFascism

Red states-pay attention, because you’ll get hit hardest! They’re gutting NOAA to privatize weather forecasting. Knowledge is power—forecasting is knowledge. Fossil fuel execs rake in billions while the planet chokes—folks keep guzzling gas & won’t notice the climate crisis while the world burns.

Trump is so used to being surrounded by sycophants and getting away w/ demeaning everyone who doesn’t bend the knee. Zelensky has too much courage and integrity. He is too much of a real leader and a hero, and that morally bankrupt draft dodger can’t stand it. #StandwithUkraine

I am ashamed to be an American. There was one person in that room who believes in democracy and it wasn’t an American. Slava Ukraini! America stands for democracy. From our inception. If you don’t stand with democracy, you are not an American. Trump is not an American. He is not my president.

Tyranny requires your fear and your silence and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage. So gather your justice and humanity, Illinois, and do not let despair overcome us when our country needs us the most.

I just can’t even believe how petty they are about their racism. please sign: sign.moveon.org/petitions/re...

Trump just said the US is going to take over Gaza and develop it. Please make this stop. What is happening? 💔💔💔💔

We are in the days of shock & awful, where Trump tries to make people feel so overwhelmed by all the rapid changes & actions that they quit trying to keep up. Don't give into that. Learn about what you have the bandwidth for. Understand that these are steps being taken to break down democracy.

Trump’s week-long blitz of executive orders, press appearances, and social-media posts is “a deliberate strategy,” several of his aides and allies told @JonLemire. It is “designed to disorient already despairing Democratic foes,” Lemire reports: theatln.tc/Y1rfoJmQ

Finally! My interview with @traceywinterglover.bsky.social on her books, writing, fiction, chickens, and so much more.

Happy National Snuggle A Chicken Day! Chickens are lovable individuals who want to live & be loved, just like we all do. They are each someone, not something; friends, not food.

Veganuary need not be divisive – it’s simply a chance to reassess our relationship with food

Baby Pythagoras fell from a slaughter truck and is now safe at sanctuary. Named after the Greek philosopher who knew 2500 yrs ago that we should leave animals off our plates, who knew that each sentient life has inherent value & that our taste for flesh could never be more important than life itself

Why animal rights and working to end animal agriculture is one of the most powerful ways to resist and counter the bigotry and supremacy of MAGA. #resist #vegan #endanimalfarming #MAGA #foodsystem #animalagriculture #climate #animals #justice open.substack.com/pub/traceywi...

People obviously wanted change and reform, but did they really want the entire structure of society blown up? These cabinet picks are like terrorists. Reform and improvements are possible without blowing up the whole thing. It’s like the whole country just got into a Tesla self driving vehicle.

There is no such thing as truly humane meat. The industry lies, and the government lets them. If we want to create a kinder world, something we can do right now is to stop eating sentient beings, stop supporting their suffering.
