I regularly see people and entire subs call for and encourage genocide. I see calls for violence daily. I suggested democrats have armed people near voting polls to discourage ICE and others from intimidating voters and I got banned for "inciting violence" We need a real reddit alternative.

It's our duty not just to push back against Republican lies but also against the apathy and misinformation harming the left. Push back against those who discourage resistance and protests. Give them the facts and historical examples they need to wake back up. #protest #protests #resist #fdt

We have been careful to avoid using the word coup, but it’s time to call it what it is—this is a coup. Trump signed an executive order granting only the attorney general or the president the authority to interpret laws executed by the executive branch.

of all the many terrible things that seem to be afflicting the public, the prevalence of defeatist mindsets with zero capacity for creative problem solving (or indeed the unwillingness to even *imagine* possible solutions to problems) might be the thing which freaks me out most.

Push back against all the people who are discouraging protests and act like they don't achieve anything. Apathy is how fascism wins. Explain to people why protests matter and how they have affected you. #protest #50501protests

Pete Hegseth apparently uploaded his phone contacts into Venmo, where they show up publicly as “friends.” He sure has a lot of contacts at UnitedHealth and at a Koch advocacy group that wants to privatize the VA. prospect.org/politics/202...

Did not see or hear a single MAGA person at the Indianapolis protest today. No yelling out windows or flipping people off, no counter protesters. Their morale is clearly down hard. Maybe Trump really can destroy his own cult with his own stupidity and inconsistency. #50501protest #trump

Putin is full out celebrating our idiocy.
A tweet by Michael McFaul (@McFaul) that reads: "In 2012, when I was the US ambassador to Russia, Putin shut down USAID inside Russia. Why? Because their work supported free markets, democracy, human rights — ie causes that threatened Putin's dictatorship. Shutting down USAID is exactly what autocrats all over the world want."

Make an effort to shut down all the people discouraging others from protesting, calling representatives, etc. They are not our allies and we need to fight against apathy. Apathy is what fascists want. #50501 #usaid #protest

No one's blaming Democrats for causing this crisis, but yes, many of them are failing to meet this moment. One Democratic senator could bring the chamber to a halt. House Dems can go to fed agencies being gutted by Musk with cameras in tow. Governors can push back. State AGs can bring lawsuits.

The USA has had two major plane crashes in the last 4 days. The USA had previously not suffered a major plane crash for 16 years. ‘DEI’ programs have existed for decades. So what was it that changed in the last 14 days or so to suddenly cause so many crashes?

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too. Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more. Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.

The president can veto or support legislation. He can make recommendations to Congress. But he doesn't have the unilateral right to change laws. Trump has very little respect for the rule of law & our Constitution. He is moving us toward authoritarianism. We must stop him.

If you want to be part of the "resistance", spend less time on social media and more reading books about tyranny and resistance. Social media isn't doing us any favors, it's already being used to further fragment and divide us. On Tyranny and From Dictatorship to Democracy are good starts.

Republicans keep bringing up Harris being VP as if she's been president for the past 3 years and complaining about her "record". Did they forget Trump was the actual president? He has an actual (bad) record? These people make me feel like I'm taking crazy pills, and I think that's the point.
