The resistance isn’t slowing down. About 3000 in Troy, MI today to say #nokings.

I needed color, so I brought enough to share with the whole class.

How is this NOT market manipulation? The flip-flopping announcements of tariffs then pulling back riiiight at the last minute or going back on terms just to then have the market rebound in some capacity feels intentional 😒 Like is every month going to be this way for the next four years?

We need new leaders in Washington. I’m running for Senate to be one. Let’s go.

Things still terrible, but: Viktor Orban was unable to stop protests in Budapest; Musk's money couldn't win the Wisconsin Supreme Court for Repugs; Marine Lepen is fuming over her court loss in Paris; and Corey Booker made a bravura stand against Trump in the Senate. More days like this please.

Something is fundamentally wrong with America when millions of dollars can’t buy you a Wisconsin Supreme Court seat, the respect of your children, the silence of your baby mammas, or a functional penis implant.

No Dem Senator has to follow Schumer here. This is a weak stategic move driven by fear and learned helplessness. Don't follow him. He's leading the party into irrelevance and helping Trump and Musk in the process.

Call your Dem Senators and ask them not to join Schumer's surrender tomorrow.
SCHUMER just now: "While the CR bill is very bad, the potential for a shutdown has consequences for America that are much, much worse."

So 10 Dems voted alongside MAGA assholes to censure Rep. Al Green?! And Gavin Newsome did a podcast episode with Charlie-fucking-Kirk?!

This timeline fucking sucks.

1) if you purchased anything or signed up to be an REI member in 2024, you’re eligible to vote.
2) vote “withhold” for all three candidates as they’re pro-Trump and anti-union.
If you're an REI member, you can vote to toss out the board that's endorsed Trump's candidate for Dept. of Interior and has worked to stop REI unions. Vote runs until May 2nd. Spread the word. vote.escvote.com/REI/

It’d be SUPER COOL if the @democrats.org’s way to “communicate their opposition” was more than just optics and color coordinating OOTDs 🤦🏻‍♀️

Every day, something is getting dismantled/messed with (today is Dept. of Ed.!) and it’s the same wimpy-ass response. Grow a spine, y’all!

Happy Shut the Fuck Up Friday 🥳🤐
As an offshoot of this thread, let’s talk about what happens if federal, state, or local officials text, email, call, or show up at your door wanting to talk to you about what you said about the President.

I have a theme, a thesis, a throughline, a leitmotif, which is SHUT YOUR FUCKING MOUTH.

This is a First Amendment question combined with a practical question. The answer is as follows.

First, the First Amendment protects advocating the moral and practical necessity of breaking the law in the abstract.

Let's check back in a month to see if my idea of FB Friend List-sourcing batshit right-wing takes and the boss replies shutting this shit down helps in my "research project" of "WTF Can Heather Do to Help Our Country Be Normal Again" 🙃😅
