There's no reason why police departments of blue communities should be working for the fascists. Democratic mayors and city councils need to take control of their police. Police departments being more harsh with liberal protestors than they were with conservative ones should not be tolerated 🧵

Times like this call for working and middle class solidarity. Everyone who depends on getting paid to stay fed and housed is in this together.

I almost forgot to mention it because I crammed it in the middle of a busy day, but I went to another protest Saturday. This time on the bridge between Lewiston and Auburn. It felt good to see so many drivers giving us things up and honking for us. Only a few middle fingers.

I went to the hands off Maine protest today in Augusta. 5 times more people than the city thought were gonna be there showed up (600 vs 3k). They had to close more of the road in a hurry to accommodate all of us. Lots of people driving by cheered, honked, etc... it felt good.

I noticed something interesting at my local grocery store this morning. The price of pasture raised eggs (hens have a minimum of 108 sqft/bird) hasn't really gone up, but the price of "regular" eggs is going up. Regular eggs were $7.99, but pasture raised was $7.49.🧵

Divider Racism in America has always been here… #Voices4Victory #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue #BlueCrew …But now it’s out in the open, using marketed language like Blue Lives Matter, CRT, and anti-DEI. It still translates to same message of hatred of black & brown people, natives, Asians, and immigrants.
X Tweet by @ninaturner says, 
“2020: attacks on “BLM”
2022: attacks on “CRT”
2024: attacks on “woke”
2025: attacks on “DEI”

BLACK.

THEY MEAN BLACK.

It's difficult to overstate the negative impact Trump will have on science and technology development in the US. Trump taking office will probably be the end of the US sitting on the top rung of the research ladder

Conservatives think that their right to not have to learn anything that wasn't accepted as true 50 years ago is more important than the right of anyone else to life the life they wish to live. They truly do not understand what freedom is.

I prefer "We tried to warn you" over "I told you so". The later is more of an attack; people get defensive when attacked. The former gives more grace. We need people who voted for Trump to join the resistance if our nation is to survive.

"Masculine Energy"
Panel 1: Mark Zuckerberg stands on the stage at a Meta all-hands meeting, wearing a little chain and a shirt that says "Cool Dude." "I think our company could use more Masculine Energy," he says into a mic. In the crowd, an employee raises their hand. "Excuse me, Mr. Zuckerberg," the person asks. Panel 2: The person stands up, asking, "By "Masculine Energy," do you mean a mature definition where men in power use their relative strength to protect and uplift those less privileged?" Panel 3: The person continues, "…or a more childish definition where men in power are free to be aggressive and harm others without being held accountable?" Panel 4: Zuck stands silent for a beat. Panel 5: "You're all fired," he says.

The glacial pace of the US legal system has been a problem for decades. But I never thought it would end up being what ended our democracy. Trump could have been imprisoned instead of inaugurated and government of, by, and for the people could have continued.

I have pretty much stopped using Facebook for the last month or so. I logged in today to check on my friends in California. At least 5 friends have lost their homes in altadena. That kind of fire spread into the neighborhoods is hard to imagine. 😢

We build vehicles that weigh 9000 pounds with 1000HP, can go 0-60mph in 3 seconds and market them recklessly. We then ask people to wear construction vests to cross the street. This is all so beyond absurd and it's truly incredible that we've normalized this.

(1/2) I've always been a fan of Jimmy Carter. I think the only reason his term isn't viewed more favorable was that Reagan brought in a new low in rhetoric and they got to write the narrative.

I was thinking about Trump and his masters (Putin, Musk, he owes them both)... And I just realized what a fool Elon is. He did a service (took over Twitter and pushed propaganda) for a man who's famous for stuffing those who did work for him.
