Tyrants view educated citizens as their greatest enemy. Slaveholders stopped the enslaved from learning to read. Nazis burned books. Dictators censor media. That’s why Trump is attacking education, science, museums, and the arts – to prevent us from learning. It's Fascism 101.

People are angry enough about health insurance in the US that they cheered Luigi as a folk hero. The GOP response is to gut Medicaid and take insurance away from tens of millions? Interesting political move.

You are not powerless, and he is not unstoppable. Look at, and learn from, the funding freeze and how quickly he was forced to surrender.

The Treasury Department right now. People are turning out against Musk and DOGE staging a takeover of the Treasury’s payment system. This crowd is big. The whole block is packed. “Lock him up,” everyone yells.

Wow. Jamie Raskin discusses a possible impeachment of Donald Trump for illegal executive overreach. “Find me two Republicans and I’ll go to work tomorrow.” Would you support impeachment against Donald Trump?

Over 50% of nonviolent movements to overthrow governments are successful within one year of their peak. The key is to engage over 3.5% of the country, a cross-section of society—clergy, kids, grandmas, teachers) using DIVERSE & CREATIVE tactics, with women in leadership. We can do this. More:

Elon fucking Musk does NOT appropriate federal funds. That is the job of CONGRESS. Not some foreign born private citizen jumping bean exploding penis rocket car melting nepo-baby conspiracy theorist womanizer who exchanges horses for handjobs. Congress needs to stand the fuck up. All of them!!!

She reminded me of something I so often tell young queer people in England - that the goal of those who attack us, is to make us scared enough that we do their work for them, and disappear ourselves. With the raised stakes of a Texan gun culture, I’d forgotten that, for a moment.

Extreme MAGA Republicans are stealing money from hardworking American taxpayers in order to pay off their billionaire donors and wealthy corporations. We are fighting them in Congress, in the Courts and in the Community. And we will win.

The lack of any opposition to Trump from the Democratic Party is conspicuous. I'm seeing opposition from activists and clergy, celebrities, from everyday people. . . . . .but the politicians who are SUPPOSED to be the opposition? Just timid submissiveness from them.

Stay strong. For us, this is more than just a job-it’s a calling. Together, we will stand to protect our parks, environment, and wildlife. Four years… we remain hopeful that the attack on our public lands will be less brutal this time.

While I have doubts about the legal validity of Biden saying the ERA has been ratified, politically it's a masterstroke. It will force the GOP to argue, publicly & with great media attention, against gender equality as long as the inevitable court cases drag along (possibly for years).

I don't want to constantly post about politics. I'm tired of politics. I'm tired of fighting for emotional survival against all the hate, the fear, the people that want me dead. I wish I could just have fun and enjoy my life, without the bigots, without the drama, without the hate.

I suspect that the trolling on Bluesky is being alarmist, defeatist, saying we can't stop Trump, and going after people for not being ideologically pure enough. I just had someone call me an "undercover Nazi", for unclear reasons, but they were sure I wasn't left-wing enough to not be a Nazi.

In 1971, the Jim Crow era was over, but oppression carried on. Jimmy Carter was sworn in as Governor of Georgia. In his Inaugural address, he declared “the time for racial discrimination is over”. President Carter always had the spine to speak up, no matter the cost of the cause. Be like Carter.
