“The overwhelming thing I heard from people was, ‘Thank you for giving us a place to go because we've been at home clenching our fists and didn't really know what to do.’" “…In the Tesla Takedown movement, thousands of angry, frightened people have found a sense of collectivity.”

Not getting much attention, but the Senate GOP is about to start voting - to make sure banks can charge higher overdraft fees. Seriously. Good time to let your Senators know what you think of that.

“These are the conditions these folks are living in, and we expect them to return to our communities? And thrive? That’s a fallacious dream." Overcrowding and oversentencing in WI jails/prisons is the core problem. We must address *that*. Read more here: www.cbs58.com/news/town-ha...

Winning on April 1 would secure the liberal majority on the Wisconsin Supreme Court for the 2026 and 2028 elections. That’s why Elon Musk is spending millions on this race. We need your help to elect Susan Crawford and stop a MAGA takeover of a battleground state: www.mobilize.us/indivisible/...

Going to listen / read this today. Grateful that they included the transcript in a legible format for those of us with auditory processing disorder!

If you only have the capacity to read a couple of updates, I suggest this as one of them. I had never heard of Burlingame, and I'm grateful to know this piece of history and how it relates to what's going on today.

Postcard mailing campaign is today! www.dwcmarco.org/event-detail...

Dems as a whole are demonstrably too comfortable maintaining the status quo to actually fight for us, but it's the system we have. Contact them anyway. And yes, GOP have their own form and should be contacted, too.

Bernie Sanders: "If you do nothing, you sit back and say, 'it's gonna be terrible.' And that's right. A shutdown will be terrible. But our job is to put the onus on the Republican president, the Republican House, the Republican Senate, the people who control the govt"

@mariaressa.bsky.social Congratulations, and thank you! www.pbs.org/newshour/sho...

In anticipation of the April 1 election, we sent a questionnaire to the two candidates running for Wisconsin Supreme Court regarding their background, access to justice, and civil rights and liberties. View their responses: www.aclu-wi.org/en/publicati...

Tuning in now!

Whatever lies are told tonight, here's the truth we need to focus on: Republicans have a very REAL plan to cut the social safety net.   I refuse to go quietly and let them make these cuts on the backs of veterans, seniors, children and struggling families.

The language in this survey is infuriating. But I took it anyway. secured.heritage.org/the-heritage...

NEW: Senator Marshall (R-KS) RUNS AWAY, fleeing his own town hall after being asked about DOGE firing Veterans. MAKE HIM GO VIRAL.

Did you know that Milwaukee has 28 Harm Reduction Vending Machines? The map has time and distance search details to better assist time-sensitive needs. county.milwaukee.gov/EN/DHHS/BHD/...

And we need to keep demanding that when they do have public town halls, that at least some of them occur in the evenings when more working people can attend and participate. They keep these opportunities under-communicated and inconvenient by design.

Here's what's happening in Palestine & the region. I was inspired to post this by someone in my mentions saying the genocide has intensified under Trump (and of course blaming Arab voters). It's clear that for some, what actually happens in Palestine doesn't matter, only how it...

Even if they don't show up, the visibility can help bring attention to what's going on. There are still so many people who have no idea what's at stake, including / especially the people who voted for this but also need these services.

BREAKING: The Social Security Administration "eliminated" its civil rights office on Tuesday. "Please wait for instructions from the agency to ... report harassment." New, at Law Dork: www.lawdork.com/p/social-sec...

This vote was to start the process of the cuts. It WILL come back for a final vote. There are some chances to slow or potentially stop it. Need constant pressure on GOP Focus on GOP swing seats & key committees. Energy & Commerce is where the Medicaid fight will go down. Ways&Means for tax fight.

Goodnight friends ❤️ Get some sleep. Every day, I give up for twenty minutes but decide to push through on the twenty-first. Survival is a ritual, a ceremony, and a practice. Rudy Francisco, Excuse Me as I Kiss the Sky

We need to elect people who protect our rights, not take them away. This cannot be overstated at any time, but it's especially paramount right now.

People who voted Trump who are feeling pissed off right now about broken promises are an organizing opportunity, not a gloating opportunity

Gear Up helped build the nest, and now it's time to fly! This next series is a mix of sociopolitical education and direct action so that everyone can do the work regardless of experience level. Level up from promises to demonstrative accountability.

ALBA educator Yessenia Ruano will not be deported! Yessenia is a mother of 2 U.S. citizen daughters, & a valued MKE community member who fled gang violence in El Salvador in 2011 & was trafficked into the US. After today's strong solidarity rally she was granted more time to process her visa!

I know a lot of us have doubts about whether we could organize a potluck or book club, nevermind a revolution. So if you need to start with potlucks and book clubs, try that for starters.

And today we arrive at one of my favorite topics to teach in my civil rights history class. There's so much we can still learn from the Montgomery Bus Boycott.

"Wait a sec, I thought Trader Joe’s was a super awesome company that treated its workers well? You’re not alone! For many years, Trader Joe’s had a reputation as a great employer. However, the company has shown its true colors as we started organizing stores across the country."

This thread is amazing!

Sending love to all the people out there who have been worried about Project 2025 for years and had to endure the people around them telling them it would never happen the whole time.

Another great abolitionism resource: "This guide can help advocates contend with efforts to derail reforms that are based on recidivism stories and statistics."

It's worth watching the video added in the comments with more of Jeffries' statement, too

@convergencemag.com "Change will require collective, bodily courage — from the most vulnerable, and against the most powerful. No shortcuts. We aren’t looking for handouts or lectures or messaging suggestions. But we could really use more comrades."

Rather than leaving people to face climatic events on the streets, the US must implement housing-first policies that help people find homes, no strings attached. www.prisonpolicy.org/blog/2023/09...
