Under the U.S Constitution, the President is very explicitly not a king. The President's wishes and decrees do not magically become law.

Even his body language is dangerous. He is fully turned to his party unless he's attacking the Dems in which case he's giving side eye and pointing.

I see you, making me aware that you see me as an enemy.

"woke" (i.e. empathy) isn't going away.

Uhm, just a question...if millions of dead people are receiving social security benefits, why is his fan base not angrier he didn't catch that in his first round? I mean, he seems to have had a very easy time identifying it.

But oh wait, it's just another lie.

Every day since 1/20, there has been an exec branch occurrence that makes me think: "I would be fired immediately if I behaved that way."

not unreal to expect the Pres to have at least an equal bar for job performance than me, a middle management corporate dude, but what do I know? I'm just in HR.

I feel like I'm underreacting to everything despite what I have the energy to contribute. Every day that goes by I am more scared for my people and our country.

It's 2025, and people decided that we should put Trump back in office despite the first time infamously being a complete shitshow. So OF COURSE FyreFest is back for another try

What can you do?

Don’t give up hope. Dictators feed off your hopelessness.

Don’t quit. Dictators want you to give up.

Punch back. Dictators are bullies, and bullies are cowards.

Stay tethered to the truth. Dictators need you to believe their lies.

Resist. Stand with others.

Trump's latest power grab is allowing DOGE to access our bank accounts, health records, and Social Security numbers with no transparency or accountability.

Tell Congress: Keep DOGE out of our data.
Keep DOGE Out of Our Data
Trump has given DOGE unrestricted access to our personal info, from finances to health records. Join me in demanding accountability.

John Green writes YA novels that slap, and he's also an expert in tuberculosis. Here is a thoughtful commentary regarding just that. Spoiler alert, it's not as in the past as you may think.

Would really love if Green Day would just re-release American Idiot like it's a new album. So many people have memory holed it or didn't pay attention and we really need that energy right now.

Libraries are great for the books, sure, but it's also nice to have a quiet and safe space to sit and think- a place where no one is trying to sell you anything.

As we saw in his last term, President Trump wants to eliminate the separation of church and state.

Everyone has the right to religious freedom, not just the select few who practice this administration’s preferred brand of Christianity.

I am really frustrated that the press is discussing the destruction of USAID as something that has happened rather than an illegal action that will likely be undone in two weeks when courts tell the world that it was illegal.

If you're wondering whether you should promote your book or your latest publication now with all the chaos, the answer is yes. We need your words. We need to flood the channels with art and literature. So go for it, friends.

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too.

Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more.

Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.
