anamchara (/ah-nim-kah-rah/) is Irish Gaelic for "soulfriend".

Fan of The Untamed/CQL (Chinese drama) and Yizhan. SLP and outspoken leftist activist in U.S. Pro-DEI and anti-fascist. I 💚dogs, cats, language, reading, writing and competence.
Cheering on my fellow activists who are going to be out there, keeping GOOD TROUBLE alive! Stay safe, alert, hydrated and smart. We outnumber them, and we will triumph together. My fave Ted Lasso quote applies. Sam’s dad: “Don’t fight back. Fight forward.” 💚 #goodtrouble #JohnLewis #smashfascism

A few thousand people gathered for Donald Trump's fascist military parade. Many millions assembled to oppose it.

Trump's core of support is comprised chiefly of stay-at-home racists and mercenaries who hurt people for pay.

Those who act according to their consciences overwhelmingly oppose him.
Emerging figures suggest the glut of protests across the country against Trump’s presidency marked one of the largest single days of demonstrations in U.S. history.

For reference, that’s between 1 and 2 percent of the total population of the United States.

Raskin: Our chairman… How does one go from a libertarian railing about the deep state and the fbi and the doj coming down on the rights of the people to becoming a supine submissive authoritarian who votes against providing basic due process rights for the people against the government?

In 100 days, we’ve changed the political weather.

We show up because this is how we build a nationwide, unified opposition. And 100 days in, that opposition is far more unified and…well…oppositional than it was in January.

Take a step back and look at how the political winds have shifted.

If you are stopped by a cop (in uniform or not), remember these two phrases:

1. “Am I being detained?” (“Am I free to go” is another option or a follow up to this)

2. “I do not have to discuss my day with you.” This one is handy if they ask something that sounds harmless, like where you’re from.
Planning on protesting this weekend? It's important that you #KnowYourRights.

If you like what you've seen from Sen. Cory Booker and other Democratic lawmakers this week, call and email their offices and let them know that. Evidence of public support gives lawmakers more clout with their colleagues to keep doing what they're doing. Constituent encouragement becomes influence.

🧵 To dodge Senate rules and slash taxes for the ultra-wealthy, the GOP is trying to rewrite math itself. Don’t be fooled. Here’s how Republicans are trying to rip you off with a bogus math trick:

Their controversial strategy hinges on a budget gimmick making it appear as if their $5 trillion tax package won't cost anything.

"Even when adjusting for inflation, that amount would be triple the tax increase put in place in 1942 to pay the cost of fighting World War II."

Feels like a great afternoon to remind you that as soon as Schumer, Gillibrand, Fetterman, Schatz, Durbin, Hassan, Shaheen, Cortez-Masto, Peters, and King are done helping Republicans get this Trump-Musk coup-empowering government funding bill over the finish line, the Senate goes on recess.

Cool so what happens if GOP attach a national abortion ban to a CR? You'll vote for that too?

🚮
My YES vote is *not* an endorsement of this deeply flawed CR.

My YES vote is 💯 about refusing to shut our government down.

I refuse to punish working families and plunge millions of Americans into chaos.
 
I will never, ever, ever, ever, ever vote to shut our government down.

This is heartening to see! The resistance is beginning.

I know we are tired. I know we are fearful. But we will make ourselves heard and reclaim this country from the grip of MAGA fascism.

I’ve seen the inside of barbed wire prison camps in America. We came back from that and shall overcome this.
The People’s March is moving through the streets of Washington: “We won’t go back!”

A broad coalition of activists — among them climate, women’s rights, immigration, anti-war, LGBT, D.C. statehood, racial justice — are mobilizing in unison against Trump, three days before his inauguration. 🧵
