Booker: "I confess that I have been imperfect. I confess that I've been inadequate to the moment. I've confess that the Democratic Party has made terrible mistakes that gave a lane to this demagogue. I confess we all must look in the mirror and say 'we will do better.'"

Tiny acts of anti-capitalism. Learning to do some visible mending and patching on my favorite blanket that has been worn down by lots of love.

Donold is blaming a plane crash that killed 67 people on “DEI” with zero evidence.

He is attempting to use racism to deflect from the fact it is HIS fault. He had just removed 100 FAA senior officials.

It’s been 11 days and there are 67 bodies in the Potomac in Washington DC because of him.

One of the reasons we are all freaking out is because Democratic leadership is nowhere to be seen.
We need a democratic pseudo president to address what is going on and what we can do about it.
Someone who has rallies, interviews. Show us sane in an insane world.

My shopping choices are rapidly dwindling, but my money isn’t going to anyone who supports this BS. Bye Target.
Let’s be more accurate about what Target is really doing because the headlines aren’t telling it right.

Target is bending the knee and sending a message to its customers that equity doesn’t matter and that the old systems—built to favor a few while excluding the rest—are just fine.

I need concrete steps to take for how we start to fight back. I’m working on the “build community” but I need more.
I know you all already know this, but this is going to get really bad.

Tip from @snowjob.bsky.social

If you have a whitehouse.gov link you want to access and it is down, try replacing "www.whitehouse.gov" with "bidenwhitehouse.archives.gov"

The national archives is still doing its job for now.

Looks like we weren’t the only ones who’d rather get a root canal than watch Trump lie about protecting the Constitution.

His second inauguration tanked at just 24.59M viewers—less than Biden’s 33.76M in 2021 and even his own 30.64M in 2017.

Team Trump will lie about this, so spread the word!

No executive order has the power or the right to tell you who you are. F*ck that noise. Surround yourself with love, and when you’re ready, get back in this fight.

We need you. 🫶🏽

RESIST.
Don't quit.
Don't stop fighting.
Don't obey in advance.
Don't stop calling them out.
Keep raising your voices as loudly as you can.
Keep organizing your friends, family, everyone.
Keep supporting orgs that are leading the fight.

RESIST.
