The moment Cory Booker broke Strom Thurmond's speaking record:
"I'm not here because of his speech. I'm here despite his speech. I'm here because as powerful as he was, the people are more powerful."

Many folks want to organize right now but aren’t sure how.
There are many ways; that’s the hard part AND the beauty of it.
This model by Leah Penniman, illustrated by Christine Tyler Hill, shows how comprehensive social change requires many strategies.
We need all of us.
Find your role and begin.

This is not law. It couldn’t withstand legal scrutiny.
Don’t comply in advance university presidents. General counsel, don’t panic. Do law, not vibes.

Real question. What is an “illegal protest”? Real question. He was convicted of a crime. Why hasn’t he been expelled?

Trans people were on the front lines at Stonewall. Don't let Trump, Musk, or a bunch of Vichy gays and TERFs tell you otherwise. My latest for Slate on what happened to the Stonewall monument website, why autocrats always destroy history, and where it can lead slate.com/news-and-pol...
The Trump Administration Just Deleted Part of American History. If They Get Away With It, We Could Be Headed to a Very Dark Place.
This is far more serious than the loss of a few letters.

Senate Democrats have the power to block federal contracts to Tesla and SpaceX. It’s the path to pushing Musk out of politics.

This should be exceedingly obvious, but when Stonewall stays up while references to trans people come down, they will measure the silence of cisgender people as concurrence for whatever they plan next, and it still won't protect you in the end. So please get loud. Our mutual survival depends on it.

How much a senior on Social Security gets a day: $65

Dems should propose a law that immediately requires every fed agency to post on @bsky.app account, every outlay with a detailed description, $, and a link to existing gov sites with in depth details
Rather than trying to keep Elon out, pre-empt him so he cant miss characterize spending.

For all federal employees:
Before you are locked out of your systems, ensure you have copies of unclassified performance appraisals, awards & other relevant personnel docs.
If you have access to your office, grab your more important personal items sooner rather than later.

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it.
Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice.
But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word.
They aren’t firing for a reason.

It's worth reading this thread & the one embedded in it to remember the different forms that resistance takes. There's always been way more people disobeying than what we imagine.
