It’s 2026 and the United States government is planning to livestream an execution by firing squad. Text SIGN PODWWA to 50409 to send an email to your representatives imploring them to prevent this. There’s more info in the alt text. #Resistbot
Resistbot notice that reads: 

TEXT SIGN PODWWA
TO 50409
TO JOIN BERRI & TELL YOUR OFFICIALS
Do Not Allow Hasan's Execution To Be Publicly Streamed
Berri (“signature” in script font)
SIGNER No. 105

——————

The full text of the petition is:

Please do not allow Nidal Malik Hasan's execution to be streamed to the public. We are better than this as a nation, or at least we used to be, and the ghoulishness of watching a man be murdered by the government should be a relic of the past. We can choose who we want to be as a country, and the current administration is turning us into a violent, bigoted, hateful nation of white supremacists, and everyday you let them do it you choose to allow it. It's not too late to develop some courage and stand against the evil the Trump administration is pumping out into the world. Stop the madness and stand against them- do not allow the execution to be public.

NEW: In a major break from past norms, the Trump administration sent criminal prosecutors and an FBI agent to monitor voters in Arizona's primaries earlier this year. The push comes as Trump exerts pressure on state elections as part of an ongoing attempt to find fraud before the midterms.

This is corruption of the highest order. Susan Collins delivered millions in taxpayer dollars for a corrupt donor bankrolling her campaign, and then Donald Trump helped her cover it up. No wonder she voted with him 96% of the time and has rubberstamped his agenda to hurt Maine.

“The future depends entirely on what each of us does every day; a movement is only people moving.” - Gloria Steinem Another giant gone, another life spent in motion on behalf of others, another life that unequivocally showed that change is possible.
gloriasteinem and gloriasfoundation post - picture of Gloria Steinem laughing

Photo by @giamckenna for @gloriasfoundation gloriasteinem 
Yesterday, Gloria Steinem passed away peacefully at her home in New York City, surrounded by some of the many who loved her. Gloria's near-century on earth were years well-lived, and she continued working for equality until the very end.
Gloria's greatest gift was her ability to listen to others, to make others feel seen and heard. Her words, actions, and example gave people permission to be their truest selves. Gloria lived true to her independent spirit, always with curiosity and a great sense of humor.
She spent her recent years doing the two things she loved most: being in community with others and writing. She has welcomed hundreds of guests into her living room for Talking Circles, a tradition she insisted will continue long after she is no longer with us. As Gloria wrote in her forthcoming book, An Unexpected Life, "! have now lived for more than fifty years in this brownstone, in rooms that have witnessed lives before mine, and will know others after ! am gone." This book, along with her commitment to her home becoming a center for social justice movements, are among the many gifts Gloria has given the world with the hope they have ripple effects for generations to come. Gloria often quoted the adage: "The flap of a butterfly's wing can change the weather hundreds of miles away."
Gloria loved the tradition of lighting signal fires on hills to light the way to the other side of the mountain. Lighting your own candle for Gloria makes you part of this global and celestial community circle.
In lieu of flowers, Gloria has asked that those wishing to honor her with a gift, may make a donation to Gloria's Foundation.
