🧵*9/16/2025 noncooperation thread*

A daily thread of acts of noncooperation, noncompliance, defiance, & whatnot by individuals, communities, &/or institutions.

IL State Sen Villa, in heels, yelling for people to stay in their houses, yelling at ICE "THIS IS MY CITY." Not even a megaphone.
Karina Villa protecting her constituents by literally running ICE off the streets in West Chicago and yelling to residents to stay inside their homes.

This is an archived government report that found that “Since 1990, far-right extremists have committed far more ideologically motivated homicides than far-left or radical Islamist extremists.”

It existed yesterday and is gone today.

Viral claims about family influencers fleeing the state of California are completely false. TikToks and YouTube videos have amassed millions of views pushing this conspiracy.

My article debunking it only has.... 2 shares. Journalism feels so fruitless sometimes.
No, family vloggers are not fleeing California over a child labor law
A viral TikTok conspiracy theory claims that family influencers are moving because of a new law that claims to protect child influencers. It's not true.

In reality, Trump has been trying to shake-down Zelenskyy since at least 2019, when he failed to strong-arm the Ukrainian leader into announcing a (bogus) investigation into the Bidens, a move that got him impeached. Through it all, amazingly, Zelenskyy has maintained the moral high ground,⤵️

Quick reminder: DOGE isnt real. Its a figment of President Musks imagination and has no power, and isn’t an agency

Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"

In Taiwan, years back, some civic hackers created the Gov0 campaign (or g0v) in which they got the domain name g0v.tw (it's a zero in the middle) and created alternatives to every gov website of what they would do if they were in charge. Anyone could see the plans by replacing the o with the 0.
Form the equivalent of a "shadow cabinet": have a spokesperson to shadow every significant official in the Administration, and make sure that person speaks out and counters every statement, decision and policy in their "portfolio". Give the media a focus/contact point on everything.

From the very beginning, I've said the soul of the Democratic Party is the fight for working people.

We closed out our campaign last night with union leaders like Becky Pringle, @rweingarten.bsky.social, and Lee Saunders.

Today, we start rebuilding our party with workers at the forefront.

Thread boost. Incredibly important to remember that despite the fucked-up times we live in, we still must LIVE.

We are dealing with ppl who lead miserable lives despite their immense wealth. Living joyfully is a middle finger to fascists who want us to dwell in the same darkness they do.
Being a person with deadly, incurable cancer who is nonetheless still alive for an indefinite timeframe gives me an interesting metaphor that helps me deal with things like large-scale corruption in government or commerce.

Bear with me for a second while I try to explain.

Folks are dunking on this, but as someone who has spent a good deal of time criticizing specific NYT stories, it is actually good that more media people are on here and engaging in this space. The more media people are here relative to Twitter the better the site is. (Ducks).
FYI, folks from Bluesky. Reporters at The NYT, among other news organizations, are now generating a giant wave of accountability stories about the new Trump era. Reading these stories, sharing them, is a form of accountability as well. It is a form of participatory democracy too. Substance matters.
