Marshaling today, 4/5, in NYC. “Hands OFF” coalition march organized across the country and around the world. Need a training in nonviolent direct action and how to run street demonstrations? Hit me up! Democracy needs your courage. xo

NYU canceled a talk by the former president of Doctors Without Borders because she intended to mention the high number of deaths of aid workers in Gaza, and Trump/Musk’s destruction of USAID. “Antisemitic” and “anti-governmental” to say this ici.radio-canada.ca/nouvelle/215...

Hegseth is a DUI hire.

White House says no one will be fired over the Signal scandal because no one involved was trying to cure cancer.

I was told I was overreacting. Now they’re about to fire 83,000 people from the VA. A third of whom are veterans themselves.

Trump administration rolls back restrictions on sharing migrant minor sponsors' immigration status. The Trump administration is tracking down children. #MomSky www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

One thing that most people are missing in the group text scandal: The Trump officials don’t appear clear on what *exactly* Trump approved, which is a huge problem in using military force. Stephen Miller says “as I heard it … green light.” 😱😬 www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/six-short-...

More reports of ICE harassing, detaining and in this case torturing a green card holder who has been here legally since 2008. www.wgbh.org/news/local/2...

Take a moment today to read about a few of the young children whom Trump and Musk killed by shutting down USAID. The blame for these deaths falls on them. There will be hundreds of thousands more dead kids before their lethal crusade against foreign aid ends. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

The richest man in the world took over $5K out of this guy's bank account, claiming he was dead. The richest man in the world said he was saving money. He was not dead.

Speak out. Organize. Across all the silos. They are testing to see what they can get away with.

Deport Musk now.

Get up, stand up. The arrest and disappearance of Mahmoud Khalil, a prominent Palestinian activist who helped lead Columbia University's 2024 student encampment protests, is an authoritarian power-move, an assault on the US constitution and the first amendment.

Drunk on power and ketamine. This is Musk and the foreign minister of Poland. This is what I mean about Musk as the "over-mighty subject". His power is too great for anyone else to be fully free.

The Heritage Foundation is now planning to destroy the EU - with the help of Polish and Hungarian partners vsquare.org/heritage-fou...

As Americans we’re trained from childhood: 1) to believe in the primacy of individualism, and 2) to obey. Neither helps us with the present moment. We need to join together, figure out the collective action we must take for a democratic future, & disobey all things that interfere with just that.

I made this the other night while procrastinating, mainly because I thought all the posts about the blackout were boring. It feels like there is momentum bringing people together!

Something is shifting. They are still breaking things and stealing things. And they will keep trying to break and to steal. But the propaganda magic around the oligarchical coup is fading. (1/2)

The whole of America need to reset. It just can't continue until that occurs. News is not great and getting worse. The "anything we can get" has to die and start over with "anything we can do"

Why is this so hard for news orgs? www.status.news/p/cbs-evenin...

It’s been a long fucking day, I’m tired, and I misspoke. Let me rephrase it in a more correct way. Fuck Hakeem Jeffries and almost every other elected Democratic official for forcing me to be the one to get arrested instead of them doing their goddamn job and being leaders.

How we did it: Texas Won’t Study How Its Abortion Ban Impacts Women, So We Did

Inspired by the abolitionist and civil rights movements, Get Free is mobilizing young people to turn campuses and communities into freedom beacons that defy Trump-Musk’s authoritarian power grabs.

@resistlist.bsky.social here's a cool event. Angelenos protesting transportation secretary Sean Duffy with wit and bravado. bsky.app/profile/awal...

This is nonviolent direct action AND civil disobedience: "MAGA stands for trying to erase trans people from existence. MAGA stands for re-segregation and racism. MAGA stands for censorship and book bans. MAGA stands for firing air traffic controllers while planes are crashing. - Chris Kluwe /1

Great essay not just on #takedowntesla but how it's working and how it exemplifies direct action (Waging Nonviolence is always worth checking out):

To all the Airbnb hosts complaining about individuals boycotting Airbnb: Stop. Punching. Down. Punch up. Demand that Airbnb cofounder Joe Gebbia leave Airbnb, sell his stock. He’s joining DOGE. You cannot be nazi-adjacent and be pro-democracy.

Boston rally for healthcare, research and jobs. Labor stands up for science; science stands up for labor.

protection racket

oh my god Hochul has been activated

Trump's executive orders impacting refugees leave stranded in Afghanistan the children of a former U.S. military translator, the wife of a former Texas National Guard member, and the sister of two U.S. soldiers. “We feel betrayed," said one. www.propublica.org/article/trum...

Setting the record straight.

After publishing this story, which features a picture of the protest at Children's National in DC, I have been informed that moments ago, Childrens National in DC has resumed transgender care. The hospital protests worked! Keep doing them!

What it’s like to argue with people who have only an outdated binary ideology — and who deal in zero facts or science.

The source of President Zelensky’s great strength and moral character is clear. 🇺🇦

“I don’t know how to explain to our daughter…that our own government is doing this to us.”

i mean, yes, but at least benjamin netanyahu never has to face a war crimes tribunal, and isn't that ultimately the definition of jewish safety

hello cis friends this is what people mean by trans genocide if a type of person does not officially exist, then any harm against them cannot be measured or reported this headline change isn't even being caused by an executive order it's simply the NYT editors deciding we don't deserve to exist

benjamin netanyahu and the adl have reduced holocaust commemoration to a seal of approbation for antisemites
