Regular schmegular!
I really can't emphasize enough that if you care about local politics, all you gotta do is show up. Just a regular schmegular person showing up. Literally just show up consistently in person and within a remarkably short amount of time, you will have a shocking amount of influence.

Yuanxin, a first grader has been separated from his father for almost a week, following ICE abducting the pair for the third time this year! ICE refuses to disclose the 6 yr old’s location.
Call your Reps & ask them to pressure ICE/DHS to reunite Fei with Yuanxin and release them both immediately!

Very excited to listen to @maddow.bsky.social's Burn Order + openly riding its coattails to reup this tiny primer on, as she said, "our strategic & moral inheritance as modern Americans"—we can "learn from Americans who have gone before us & fought... to stop our govt from doing terrible things."
🧵This country has a deep history of resisting & rejecting oppression. It isn’t often taught or acknowledged.
We need to know. We need to learn from our elders, ancestors, & political forebears. Now.
A thread about that. I will inevitably miss many examples; pls reply or QT with additions.

What you think you know about Rosa Parks is almost certainly wrong. This thread is a good way to remedy that!
Today is the 70th anniversary of Rosa Parks' arrest. Six myths: 1) She wasn't old or tired. 42 years old that day, she had a "life history of being rebellious" & had spent two decades helping to turn the Montgomery NAACP into a more activist branch alongside ED Nixon and Johnnie Carr.

We have a deep history of resisting authoritarianism on these shores; we need to listen to & learn from the communities that have led those fights, draw on our collective muscle memory, & fight like hell.
LFG.
