I love this spectacular Ruffed Grouse Pennsylvania resistance bird by Jen Rand ( @jenrand.bsky.social ). The star is a nod to the Quaker tenet of nonviolence, and the style harks back to PA Dutch folk art.
A stylized ruffed grouse bird spreads its wings on this riff on the Rebel Alliance logo. The bird is in the center of a circle, painted in shades of red, green, yellow, and black, in the style of a Pennsylvania Dutch folk painting. A small eight pointed star is to the right of the bird’s head. Under the logo is the text “Pennsylvania Civil Resistance”

My fellow Americans, we officially hit a new low today. Thanks to felon Trump’s all out assault on democracy, we are now on a civil rights loss warning list with the Democratic Republic of Congo, Italy, Pakistan & Serbia. Nonviolent civil resistance is a must! www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

The coolest thing I’ve seen today is that a bunch of volunteer public health professionals and developers have restored the CDC website from before January 20th 2025. This differs from an archive in that they want to rebuild the links between pages and replicate the full website.

The terrible electoral analyses we get from many in the current generation of reporters who don't know how to analyze data & context. Dems came within 115,000 voters switching from winning. It's likely that a thermostatic response to Trump will help them in 2026 & 2028. It's not a massive hole.

As we gawk at the $250M Musk spent elect Trump, take a guess how long it took him to “earn” it back in the market? It took just 15 minutes. I'm not kidding... 15 minutes. According to Bloomberg, his net worth soared by $8B just today. That’s billionaire math for you—and it’s all of our problem.

If you wanted to panic, the time was the night he was re-elected. Now it's time to take a deep breath and do things like express your views to your member of Congress, and start planning for 2026. There will be no panic in this dojo.

“Gaetz is gone, but the next nominee will be bad too,” probably, but you still need to build on and rally people around wins, too. Treating every development like a prelude to another loss is how you fall into the pattern of being a loser.

fascism is stopped when enough people say one of two things: 1) "nah, I'm not doing that" 2) "nah, you're not doing that" a lot of people want to imagine how they'll say the second thing, but you should *really* start practicing the first one

@hcrichardson.bsky.social letter from 11/16 on the Department of Education. To me, the dismantling of the DOE is to create and maintain a underclass of uneducated NON-voters who will feed the prison system of LEGAL slavery and constant flow of menial workers. open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...
