Gleeful They are gleeful that humans are about to lose their healthcare. They are gleeful that humans are about to lose their jobs. Gleeful. Hateful and cruel. Do not believe their lies. Do not believe this regime. Hateful and cruel. Resist. They are monstrous evildoers. Resist.

Philadelphia Area Friends -- Come join us and please help spread the word! An Activation of Hope -- Fighting Book Bans and Censorship Next Tuesday evening October 7, @ellenoh.bsky.social and I will be at the Chestnut Hill Library for a special Banned Books Week program. Books save lives.

Do not believe this regime. Question everything they say. Do not obey them in advance. Resist.

Hitler and the Nazis banned books. If you’re so offended being compared to Hitler and being called Nazis, it really is quite simple: Stop emulating and acting like Nazis. The freedom to read is a human right. Nazis ban books.

An Activation of Hope -- Fighting Book Bans and Censorship Philadelphia area friends -- on Tuesday evening October , @ellenoh.bsky.social, and I will be at the Chestnut Hill Library for a special Banned Books Week program. Learn how we ALL can play a part in the fight for the freedom to read.

It's time for ABC to take it to Nexstar and Sinclair! Affiliates that refuse to air network programming may be breaching their affiliate agreements. If they continue to refuse to air Jimmy Kimmel, then ABC should pull live sporting events... including SEC football and Monday Night Football.

This is such a useful resource from @penamerica.bsky.social "What To Do If You’ve Been Doxed Or Placed On A Watchlist" Please consider letting others know that this exists. pen.org/what-to-do-i...

If you were to create a Venn Diagram of pro-censorship, anti-freedom-to-read book banners with Charlie Kirk idolators and deifiers who respond to all of his words and content of hate and cruelty with, “that’s taken out of context,” you’d have a pair of pretty much overlapping circles.

I still don’t think enough people realize just how dangerous this moment is. Organize. Not just online. In person. Resist.

“The performative Conservative outpouring this week has nothing to do with their love for him and everything to do with their hatred of the people he hated.” — John Pavlovitz

Liberals, progressives, and empathetic humans being targeted and losing their jobs for posting and sharing the words of Charlie Kirk is peak MAGA inanity.

This is a time for courageous empathy. Resist this regime.

Capitulation is complicity. Silence is complicity. Do not obey in advance. Resist this regime.

Censorship is the child of fear and the father of ignorance." -- Laurie Halse Anderson, @halseanderson.bsky.social

If you’re canceling your Disney+ subscription… If you’re canceling your Hulu subscription… If you’re canceling your trip to Disney World Don’t just post about it online. Don’t just send the company an email. Take the time to send a snail mail letter. Make your resistance make a difference.

Soft censorship is censorship. Self censorship is censorship.

Stephen Colbert. If the false prophet and his idolators don’t like being called fascists and nazis, stop being like fascists and nazis. Jimmy Kimmel. If the false prophet and his idolators don’t like being called fascists and nazis, stop being like fascists and nazis. Resist this lawless regime.

This is an extraordinary article in @vanityfair.com by Ta-Nehisi Coates. If only those who could actually benefit and learn from this post would take the time to read it, reflect, and then try to process and acknowledge the dissonance these truths generate. www.vanityfair.com/news/story/c...

Banning books. Banning words. Banning ideas. The alarm bells should be on high for everyone and anyone who cares about freedom and humanity. Silence in this moment is complicity. Erasure is the precursor to eliminationism.

So much for the false prophet’s idolators and followers lowering the temperature and turning down the rhetoric. These monstrous evildoers are inciting violence, putting those of us who believe in empathy (which is real), kindness, acceptance, and respect for the humanity of all in the crosshairs.

It's quite perplexing -- or not -- how quoting Charlie Kirk to Charlie Kirk idolators is now offensive and triggering. Is it offensive and triggering that others are saying it? Is it offensive and triggering that he said it? Which is it? Thank you for your attention to this matter.

The more they talk, the less I believe. Spinning a narrative that fits their violent, divisive, and hateful Project 2025 agenda.

Question everything this regime says, presents, and produces. Challenge those who accept this regime’s words and actions as gospel. Do not obey in advance.

My heart aches for the entire Evergreen community. Guns kill children. Guns kill people. Gun control now. The fetishization of the Second Amendment is a sickness. www.pbs.org/newshour/nat...

Contrary to what pedophile apologists and false prophet worshippers would like for you to believe… Cruelty is not patriotism. Hate is not patriotism. Anti-intellectualism is not patriotism. Kindness is not weakness Empathy is not weakness Respecting the humanity of others is not weakness.

We need to abandon our textbook definitions of what civil war looks like. It is already happening. We need to abandon our belief that we are still a democracy. We are not. This is what authoritarianism looks like. Find your people. Talk openly about what is happening. This is happening.

RFK is a clear and present danger. Fewer vaccinations means more virus will spread. More viruses spreading means more mutations. More mutations means more variants. More variants means less protection for the vaccinated, i.e. people who believe in science. RFK is an existential threat.

Thank you @freedcproject.bsky.social! The WE ARE ALL DC protest was a powerful and joyous demonstration of the humanity of Washington DC.

Before attending the National Book Festival in Washington DC this afternoon and this evening, come out and show solidarity with the residents of The District. We Are All DC: A National March to End DC's Occupation begins at 11:00am ET. Be safe. Bring joy. freedcproject.org/event-list/w...

“Authoritarians thrive on your silence. Be loud for America." — @govpritzker.illinois.gov

Keep speaking up! Keep contacting your elected officials. Encourage others to speak up. Encourage others to contact their elected officials. Resist this regime. If not now, when?

It’s 9/11 weather in New York today.

Moving forward, I’m committing to being a part of at least two or three in-person public demonstrations or acts of collective resistance each month. If it’s safe for you do so, please consider committing to one, two, or three acts of in-person resistance each month. If not now, when?

Instead of imposing martial law or occupying cities with armed troops, a more effective way of reducing crime would be for the federal government to work towards addressing the every day needs of the people --housing, healthcare, transportation, childcare, food, employment, education.

Now that Governor Pritzker has stood up to the false god, the dictator-wannabe, and his no-longer-capable-of-free-thought followers, watch him target Hyatt and his family. Everything is personal. Everything is transactional. Everything is about retribution.

I am sounding the alarm on the real crisis we face today. Donald Trump’s overreach is what our founders warned against – it is unprecedented, unwarranted, and un-American. There’s no emergency here that calls for military intervention.

The deafening silence and the blinding cowardice of the Second Amendment little bros. Bruh.

The National Guard at polling stations in cities. ICE raids at polling stations in cities. A lawless regime whose core tenet is inhumanity.

Federal troops occupying cities. He is imposing martial law.

I still believe in books. I will always believe in books. Books change lives. Books save lives. Reading is resistance.

Reading is Resistance. Knowledge is Power. Read with your kids. Read with your spouse or partner. Read with your friends. Read with your classmates Join a book club. Form a book club. Resist this vile, fascist regime. Resist these monstrous evildoers Reading is Resistance. Knowledge is Power.

Silence is complicity. Erasure is the precursor to eliminationism. Organize. Not just on here. In person. Organize.

This hateful regime. Their hateful followers. "We are devastated to learn that overnight the state painted over the Pulse Memorial crosswalk on Orange Avenue. But we know that while this crosswalk has been removed, Orlando's commitment to honoring the 49 can never be erased." -- Mayor Buddy Dyer

Erasure is the precursor to Eliminationism. More Gestapo and Nazi-like conduct from the regime. Monstrous evildoers. www.orlandosentinel.com/2025/08/21/r...
