as a comedy writer something I love about these protests is how many genuinely creative and funny bits there are. the cava bags, this text chain. even a sign as simple as “honk if you’re not in the epstein files” really tickled me. very good stuff all around.

People power is stronger than this administration - find a NO KINGS 2 event near you! Coming up Oct., 18th!

Speaking freely is a right, it matters deeply to us. When pundits & politicians vilify folks who stand up for their beliefs, I ask "Why?" Is it about safety...or control? It's not about patriotism. Democracy can’t be defended by silence. Speak up #TruthBrigade truthbrigade.indivisible.org/s/WcMMDBth

Slow progress can be followed by rapid change. So don't get discouraged. Everything we do is laying the groundwork for the one spark that might change everything. Please find an event near you today!

Wow, WTF

I know a lot of folks still wonder where to start and what they can do to put an end to the destruction coming from this administration. Not everyone has to do everything, but picking one or two things off this list is a beginning.

The Trump-Supreme Court battle is not really the crisis. The crisis is here now. Trump is enacting an insidious coordinated attack on our institutions of democratic accountability, designed to crater democracy before next fall. 1/ A long 🧵to explain the plan & how we stop it.

NOW it makes sense. Keep protesting! Remember, only 3.5% of the population needs to rise up (peacefully!) to bring about massive change.

Retweet this if Cory Booker is making you cry with pride and hope right now.

Great idea. Not only does it help folks cut through red tape, but red state members of Congress need to be overwhelmed with constituent calls on this issue.

Dems must hold on to Wisconsin! Let's show Elon that his money can't buy EVERYTHING.

If this is real - and we should verify it is - we all really HAVE to demonstrate we have Senate Dems' backs. Next week is congressional recess. If this holds, be ready with a loud and enthusiastic THANK YOU if you have a Dem Senator. This is how we build a unified opposition party.

The SAVE Act is an attempt at mass disenfranchisement disguised as an election integrity bill. Did you take your husband's name when married? You would have to produce a birth certificate or passport with your maiden name TO REGISTER TO VOTE. Call Dem legislators! indivisible.org/resource-typ...

Special election April 1st in FL, that can possibly give us a fighting chance to stop Orange Turd from totally destroying what's left of America if flipped FL - 01 (Gay Valimont - D) Matt Gaetz old seat And FL - 06 (Josua Weil- D) Please spread awareness, donate, or volunteer 💙

Haha, yes, yes and yes.

Start here

Yes. Legislators put a lot of work into getting jobs & funds into their districts. As pauses and cuts happen, call your MOC and demand an answer to this question: "How are you going to protect my job??"

LGBTQ+ Support Lines in the U.S. Pass it on

A sliver of good news. I'll take it.

This 👇Tomorrow, pick one thing to call your legislators about - just one thing. And hope others are picking their one thing, too. www.congress.gov/members/find...

Authors and/or bookish people, if you have spare ARCs, author copies, or kidlit books in general, we will need them. Please fill out the form so I can coordinate gathering and delivering the books. tinyurl.com/LAFireBookDo...

The article below references how journalists can combat disinformation by using a *Truth Sandwich*. Please spread the word about how this technique works. Practice it and use it in your own conversations!

I fear there is deep truth here.

Live in a Blue state? Let your Dem legislators know you are watching them and want them to stay united against the Trump agenda. They need to hear this, over and over, from their constituents. Call them and strengthen their spines!

So, tell your congressional representatives this! www.congress.gov/members/find...

Wondering what you can do as we go into 2025? Run for local office or support a campaign! In 2025 at least 31 states have local elections, 2 have Supreme Court races, and 2 have statewide races! Want to send a message to Trump? Win them. Take back our democracy from the ground up! Let’s go!!!

Interesting. Seeing more and more interest and reporting on the class divide in America - rather than just left vs right. Press is waking up to the attention folks are ready to pay to this issue now that the billionaires are front and center and not just lurking in the background.

I love the emphasis on non-material things...

So important!!

After the holidays, if you're looking for a place where you can resist the Trump/Musk/Project 2015 agenda and work to make this country a better place, check out Indivisible.

Wish more people understood this.

All good ideas!

Watch what he DOES not what he says. Otherwise, we will fall for every diversion he puts out there. He wants the attention - don't give it to him unless he ACTS. My advice to save your sanity.

I land here as well. Integrity demands that we speak up EVERY SINGLE TIME. But, pick a lane. As individuals, we don't have to react to everything. To safeguard your mental health, choose 2 or 3 issues YOU are willing to be vocal about and hope/believe that others will fill in the gaps.

Check it out! (pun intended)

Post Thanksgiving food coma feels like... #catphotos

“In a time of deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary act.” – George Orwell

Happy thanksgiving everyone! This time of year brings up not so nice aspects of what happened to the indigenous peoples…so remember them. Spend time today learning & celebrating their culture. I’d heartily recommend this PBS documentary series. www.pbs.org/native-ameri...

Time to make the pie! Happy Thanksgiving 🥧

Good points.

Raises more than *concern* with me. Raises alarm, frustration, questions, and my blood pressure.

YES. There needs to be a constant campaign - not by a candidate, but by some other trusted progressive messenger (Pete) - that basically explains this to people year-round. Go to mainstream media, right-wing media, alternative media and just say the same thing over & over & over again.

In the bargaining stage of grief, some Democrats — from the Pod Save crew to Jared Polis — are wondering if it's time to indulge conspiracy theorists instead of holding the line on the truth. The answer is "hell no." Here's why. www.salon.com/2024/11/27/n...
