We have just one week left until a Republican government shutdown. Democrats are ready to pass a bill that keeps millions of Americans from getting kicked off their health care. Trump and Republicans won’t even come to the table to negotiate.

I don't know how to spread this further, but I will ask @indivisible.org and seattleindivisible.com to share this thread. Our neighborhood group is proactively working to invite friends and acquaintances to the October 18 No Kings protest. Here's how.

@leahgreenberg.bsky.social , @ezralevin.bsky.social please help with this!

Just now, 11 state and city lawmakers were arrested by DHS police on the 10th floor of 26 Federal Plaza after a hour of demanding access to the ICE lock up on the same floor. @thecity.nyc

@irishrainforest.bsky.social This is a bit different from your rewilding work, and a much smaller scale, but I thought it might offer ideas on helping people rewild their own lands. Gift article. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/17/r...

So proud to have you as our Representative, Ms Jayapal. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

This is exactly how I see it too.

Call!!

I called. I would encourage making a call if you think this is unacceptable. I will attach a script that is much better than what I blurted out.

LA is an example for all of us, and they wrote the book for the rest of us to follow as they did it. Waiting our turn here in Seattle. But we'll be proud to resist LA style when it comes.

#FreeDC Mass march hitting the streets of DC now.

BREAKING: We won’t stand by while the governor sends vital National Guard resources out of state to participate in a political stunt by President Trump. We just filed a lawsuit on behalf of WV Citizen Action Group to halt deployment of the Guard to Washington, D.C.

the thing everyone is going to have to accept is that the post-trump period, whenever it comes, will not and cannot be a project of national unity, it must be a project of partisan project of renewal, in the same way that reconstruction and the new deal were partisan projects of renewal.

Unending thanks to the heroes at @biologicaldiversity.org. They are fearless, determined, and instinctively know what's at stake. from-the-margins.ghost.io/i-am-here/

Whenever I hear someone say that they are trying to figure out what it means to be a man, I tell them that men are actually just male humans. If you just be human, you're probably over 90% of the way there.

Thank you all so much for your work on this! I really needed some hope today, and such a grand and helpful accomplishment more than suits the bill. I will be calling my Senators to thank them for this!

"The core proposition of anti-conservatism requires no supplementation and no exegesis. It is as sufficient as it is necessary. What you see is what you get: The law cannot protect anyone unless it binds everyone; and it cannot bind anyone unless it protects everyone."

@jayapal.house.gov #ReportingForDuty www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news... THIS is the kind of action we have been looking for! Thank you, Congresswoman! More of this, please!

@jayapal.house.gov #ReportingForDuty Thank you for doing this! Fighting against fascism means being visible so that you inspire others to resist. It's our only hope. We have to do this together, and we need our leaders to fight visibly like this.

81 years ago, FDR proposed a second Bill of Rights to guarantee every American the right to employment, healthcare, education, housing, and a living income. His words are as relevant now as they were then. Watch.

@irishrainforest.bsky.social , here is one community where people can make a living from their native forests. As you've pointed out, an economic incentive for maintaining native forests is critical. (Gift article) www.nytimes.com/2025/05/20/c...

🌟 Your Voice Can Save ME/CFS Research! 💙 The CDC Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Program—the only federal effort dedicated to ME/CFS research and public health—is at risk of being cut. Losing it would be a devastating setback for millions of Americans living with ME/CFS.

This thread is so important. Who is able to do this at scale?

I can agree with this. ✌🏻 Join the fight on May 1st or May 3rd!

I'm an American, and my hopes and strength are with Canada tomorrow, voting for Prime Minister. Our fight is just starting, and I pray you don't follow us in electing corrupt, incompetent authoritarians that you have to deal with later. Godspeed, Canada. @brenttoderian.bsky.social

@irishrainforest.bsky.social A different kind of rewilding, Eoghan! Thought you might find it entertaining. Keep up the good work!

It takes all of us to lift all of us. Get to work:

I filmed this yesterday on my way to Lousiana where my constituent Rümeysa Öztürk is being wrongfully held by ICE. I’m there now demanding her release. More to come.

Can't tell you how much this moved me.

Next week, some environmental orgs will likely be charged w/ bogus accusations by POTUS. Here’s the deal: we stand together. An attack on one is an attack on all. Those not named aren’t off the hook; they have to lean in to support those falsely accused. #unity www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

It’s going to take getting into the streets to defend our democracy. You did this for the Hands Off! Day of Action. You’re doing this right now with protests and other events during the congressional recess. And we’re going to do this again together on May 1 for the May Day National Day of Action.

This is a really powerful observation that has me thinking about all sorts of messaging that would be more effective if presented in this way.

This is just about the most profound political truth I have ever read.

This is a really insightful and inspiring article about how we react to the rise of authoritarian government. Gift link so everyone an read it. Thank you @polgreen.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2025/04/10/o...

I love @andreapitzer.bsky.social’s latest on the Tesla protests and how protest in general changes the game. (Bonus—not on substack! 🙌🎉) degenerateart.beehiiv.com/p/playing-in...

@marcelias.bsky.social #ReportingForDuty When I head out to the #HandsOff2025 rally this weekend, every step I take will be in gratitude for what Marc is doing for us.

Y’all ready for this?

Main thing I've learned from a dozen+ years living outside the US: *The* crucial American advantage is its ability to absorb and empower people from everywhere. China/ India each have talents of billion-plus people to draw on. Euro much less. US potentially has talent of the whole world.

@aflcio.org , now more than ever, we need Labor leadership to fight the fascists and oligarchs. Labor led in Poland. Labor led in Greece. Labor leads wherever a society has ever previously experienced dictatorship. Labor knows the consequences of oligarchy. Please join us.

If your Congressperson is looking for ways they can fight back or lead us, here are three ideas.

Right now, progressive voices are the island of coherence in this country. Speak up. Stand tall. People lost in the chaos are looking for this island.
