Here's a fun idea: Host a Support & Sign-Making party a few days before No Kings on 10/18. Invite concerned folks to eat, drink, be merry, & come up with clever slogans. Make t-shirts, buttons, & posters, with prizes for the best ones! @moveon.org @bkindivisible.bsky.social @nyclu.org

Thanks, @brianphillips.bsky.social, for saying what writers have been thinking, in my case with a tiny "Nooooo" radiating from my soul Funny thing is such a blanket filter seems like a bad AI move. But it's like so many of our other deeply human shortcuts, reducing everything to us vs. them

“To see so many people who frankly give a shit about their country, it really warms my heart. I’m trying really hard not to cry.” “Why this fight is so important is because there’s only one thing left for them to take, and that is our power.” - Texas House Democratic leader Gene Wu

Love reading Jen Shahade's "AI plays chess" posts for extrapolating patterns of AI confabulation. Also, em dashes could mean written by AI — or written by AM. (And haha @jenshahade.bsky.social for bringing it back around in footnote 2)

When researchers are under government control, we all lose. So I just sent Harvard a letter and $1 to let them know regular folks have their back. Let's get 100 people to do the same! Who's in? (Template in thread.) #StayStrongHarvard @indivisibleuppercape.org @harvard.edu @ashdashlee.bsky.social

Help! How can I work towards getting NYC Dem voters to consolidate support behind ONE non-Cuomo candidate?? I can't with the IDC sex pest

‘Canadians are not upset because it’s an ‘us-versus-them’ thing. It’s more like if your brother turned on you: We were there in battle together. Before there’s anger, you’re kind of sad about it. Did you forget about what we’ve done to support you?’

Communities are organizing ICE patrols using radios and megaphones—but what we really need is an ICE alert website where people can share details of ICE activity in real time to help protect and inform one another.

Love this bit of optical fun from artist Steve Butcher: open.substack.com/pub/abutcher...

Today's sanity grab: This chat I just had with claude.ai. (see thread) I'm incredibly grateful to the @anthropic.com team for their intentionality around inclusiveness & respect in service of building responsible AI.

Today's sanity grab: My friends and I sending followup letters to Governors to protect state election laws @5calls.org @governor.ny.gov

Today's sanity grab: Planning our dash to the #handsoff rally in between sessions at the American Crossword Puzzle Tournament.

View for #sarahsnook in The Picture of Dorian Gray

Way to go Wisconsin! ✊🇺🇸💚

Today's sanity grab: Celebrating @crawfordforwi.bsky.social's reelection for WI Supreme Court! Writing GoTV postcards for Judge Susan paid off big, so now I'm writing more for @erickallen.bsky.social to represent Dems in Cobb County, GA via postcardstovoters.org. @wisdems.bsky.social

Sen. Booker’s speech was a substantive and moral account of this moment. He did not read the phone book. He did not babble. For 24 hours @booker.senate.gov laid out a detailed, damning, and critical narrative of truth, history, politics, morality, humanity. What will you do?

After 24 hours on his feet, Cory Booker is defending the scientific research establishment of this country - calling out an experience like the one that drives me and SO MANY of my fellow scientists to do the work we do - that maybe we can do for others what we couldn't for our own loved ones.

Good morning. Cory Booker has now been speaking on the Senate floor for 12 hours straight. talkingpointsmemo.com/news/inside-...

Today's sanity grab: Planning to attend a #handsoff #april5 event in CT and spreading the word to friends in other cities handsoff2025.com

Today's sanity grab: Making and sharing "Protect State election laws" letter templates for friends and family with blue or red governors. Would love to share these w/Indivisible! @indivisiblecayuga.bsky.social @indivisiblemes.bsky.social @bkindivisible.bsky.social

Today's sanity grab: Writing physical letters with friends and family to @governor.ny.gov Hochul to protect NYS election laws from the latest EO and the SAVE act.

Today's sanity grab: Urging my friends with Democratic Senators who didn't capitulate to call and urge them to pressure @schumer.senate.gov to step down. @5calls.org please consider adding that as an action

Today's sanity grab: Encouraging my small network to activate their small network by sharing the accessible actions they've been taking — like daily @5calls.org calls — with their friends.

We are working on launching an ALT DOGE website. It will soon feature a team page listing all of Elon’s staffers, our own wall of receipts (tracking the money he’s taking from America), and a section to help Americans keep tabs on the false claims on Doge’s website—which now exceed 52%.

Today's sanity grab: This breezy nothing of an homage to one of my favorite one-season wonders, Terriers: suno.com/song/3a1cae3... @briancgrubb.bsky.social @angelakang.bsky.social @sepinwall.bsky.social

Today's sanity grab: Writing @newyorkstateag.bsky.social to urge AG Letitia James to: * file lawsuits against illegal & unconstitutional executive orders * create NY-funded legal defense funds to protect residents * join regional compacts on climate change, data privacy, and healthcare issues

Today's sanity grab: Sharing actions I learn here and elsewhere with my growing network of activist friends.

I appreciate everyone’s messages of support, I’m trying to get through all my mentions but as you can imagine, it’s been a bit of a busy day :) Remember - peaceful civil disobedience, and no kings, no tyrants. Not ever.

Today's sanity grab: Using @5calls.org to urge my NY reps to fight for Ukraine, and to subpoena DOGE and the real Prez, and impeach FauxKing for his ongoing travesties against constitutional law.

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage.

I understand why these stories exist but it’s important to be clear that he’s not “saving” 16 billion, he’s choosing, personally, without oversight, to wipe out 16 billion dollars of government services to veterans and the disabled and food safety etc etc
