Our institutions have failed - they’re not slowing the progress of authoritarians. Resistance is ACTION & WE are the resistance. Refusing to resist is collaboration w/ authoritarians. Power isn’t absolute - it always struggles to maintain. Resistance is the currency of authoritarian collapse.

What makes this visual even more stunning is that it was made possible by people who said their #1 concern when voting was the economy. What idiots.

I cannot love the @thetnholler.bsky.social more!!! ❤️

Liberation Day! When Trump liberated trillions of dollars from the global economy with a f*cked up Tariff “plan” that only the Oligarchs could love.

80% of NC is still rural and many NC residents still use food banks to make ends meet. Everyone in NC needs to fight this latest attack. Call Tillis and Budd (Yes, I know, but they still need to hear about it). www.wunc.org/news/2025-03...

If it were not so true, it might be funny. . . .

Musk started this attack on the federal workforce. That was somewhat rebuffed by the courts as unlawful. Now the sinister attack sets in. Funny, I don't recall FOTUS lecturing us about the "bloated, corrupt federal bureaucracy" on the campaign trail. Guess it slipped his feeble mind.

THIS is why we cannot have nice things!

Rest in power Elisa Rae Shupe! A retired United States Army soldier who became the first person in the US to obtain legal recognition of a non-binary gender (2016). She was found, hanging in the parking deck of a VA medical facility. She was complicated - her suicide note is a must read.

In the latest round of "What's mine is mine!" selfishness, Vought cuts off funding to the NIH - the same organization that has provided his daughter with life-saving cystic fibrosis treatments.

Just a thought . . . Please use some of these donations to ensure local election boards are prepared for a FAIR and JUST special election BEFORE the actual election! @nationalgroundgame.bsky.social @joshweil.bsky.social @gayforcongress.bsky.social

It's passed time to call. We need DIRECT action now! We need a shadow cabinet of collaborative peeps across legal, governmental, union, and other pro-democracy organizations that can start to coordinate direct action.

The deadline is MARCH 3rd - - to register new or purged voters in these FL Special Elections!! That's 13 BUSINESS days!!

Nope. Nothing to see here. Carry on. Nothing is hiding here in plain sight. . . . Nope.

FL has two special elections that could help put Democrats closer to controlling the house. @nationalgroundgame.bsky.social is working to raise money and organize new registered voters for the special election in April.

Musk wants to turn X into his bank with YOUR money! Musk has no ability to abide by financial regulations, he cannot be trusted with your money. Tell Visa, not to trust him either.

More of this please! Thank you, Sen. Kim! @kim.senate.gov @schumer.senate.gov @warren.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @aoc.bsky.social

Here are a just a few ways USAID helps to promote US interests in humanity internationally. youtu.be/PqUESHfuO_8?...

What Musk claims about USAID is untrue and not factual. Americans buy into the misinformation about waste and abuse because it suits their “America First” narrative. But the benefits of USAID are real and tangible.

Elon’s entourage of young men are not only stealing our data, they’re stealing our tax dollars. They have administrative rights to these systems and they’re rewriting code, on the fly, of federal systems!

If he wants $137K for an “emergency paint job” he should go live in private housing and pay for it himself. That money should be used for support and maintenance our troops. If he wants to live in military housing, he should find the $$ to improve housing for all the troops.

This post by @captainbobbie.bsky.social is everything! ♥️

This news is heart wrenching! Monarch counts in the west are down from 200K to just 9,119 butterflies this year. Scientists believe the butterflies need a population of at least 30K to maintain their migration. monarchjointventure.org/blog/western...

If THIS doesn’t bring you to the resistance, i really do not know will! #jenniferlewisismagnificent #THEJenniferLewis

The Old Democratic Guard needs to step aside or die. She is 100% accurate.

Last I knew, an AMERICAN inauguration is for AMERICANS. It's the acknowledgement of a peaceful transfer of democratic power. We are lost. . . www.reuters.com/world/german...

Rest In Peace, Ms. Richards. 19thnews.org/2025/01/ceci...

Community and Kindness. We need more of this, please.

I’m sure the cost of these fires will eventually be more than 5x this amount! We will need all types of revenue sources to help rebuild.

This is excellent news. There are still a number of other court manning play, but this is a welcome development.

Pasadena Humane Society needs emergency help. Please help if you can pasadenahumane.org

#LegislationStation ALERT Senate will vote on #LakenRiley Act tmrw, Mon, Jan. 13. It is BAD legislation & you should tell your Senators to VOTE NO. My Linktree has email you can click to send, phone script to read & article explaining why it's a bad bill. All info in comments, too. PLEASE REPOST

If you’re concerned about the NC Supreme Court challenge, there’s a virtual meeting this evening. mobilize.us/s/IC3Mi3

SB5 (Laken Riley Act) is up for debate in the Senate on 1/13/25. This bill, does a number of horrible things, but most egregiously targets undocumented immigrants who are charged (not convicted) of any theft related offenses. Please urge your senators to vote NO on SB5. rs.bot/b83kWC

I wish I could say I was shocked by this development. The NC GOP will cheat with every opportunity. Prove me wrong!

The public line to pay respects to President Jimmy Carter. The wait time was about 3.5 hours! 🥺

If you want to know just how likely it is that the NC Supreme Court will overturn the will of NC voters, take a look at this great summary of the partisan leanings on the GOP controlled court. Thanks #CarolinaForward. @carolinaforward.bsky.social

NC Senator @LisaStonesBarnes get all the perks! Ironically, when *I* don't pay my mortgage, the bank comes and takes my house. Not sure how she is able to get away with not paying her bills. Her "family farm" is 20k acres and spans 3 counties. I think she might have a few coins in her purse. . .

My NC peeps, the NC Supreme Court is trying to deny Justice Allison Riggs her rightful seat on the court. She won the election fairly. Her GOP opponent is trying to disenfranchise 60k voters and their ballots to get his way.

Texas Governor, Greg Abbott, cannot help but being an idiot.

Overfarming (modern agribusiness that strips soil of its nutrients), erratic rainfall due to climate change, and deforestation are all contributing to "unproductive" soil for food production. This could lead to higher food costs and prices.

Well, 2024 seems to be going out with a bang and taking a lot of bright soles with it! Olivia Hussey, Jimmy Carter, and now Linda Lavin.

Rest in Power, sir. You are the quintessential presidential role model - peace broker from the Oval Office, and public servant from the home office.
