I'm a mom, an art maker, a stargazer, a reader, a lover of the people I've been lucky enough for the universe to provide. I'm a firm believer that if you aren't standing with the marginalized you are standing on the wrong side of history. Be LOUD!

3 things autistic kids will actually never do:
1. Pick up a roadkill bear from the side of the road and put it in their van to eat
2. Realize they could get in trouble for eating the bear
3. Leave it in Central Park to frame a cyclist for its murder

Don't be afraid to call things by what they are. MAGA is a terrorist organization, ICE is a secret police force conducting Ethnic Cleansing, Elon Musk is an oligarch, and Trump is a foreign backed coup d'état figurehead. This is not an administration, this is a regime, and your country is occupied.

We’ve all heard bastardized versions of it, but the correct quotation and the person who said it is:
“Bad men need nothing more to compass their ends, than that good men should look on and do nothing.”
JOHN STUART MILL
And it has never been more evident in American history than it is today.

As a straight, white woman, I am just privileged enough to be extremely problematic. There's no agreeing to disagree when human rights are eroding at such a pace that the US has been put on a human rights watch list.

When their domestic politics is based solely on being assholes to half the country, we shouldn't be surprised that this intentionally inflammatory approach spills over into their foreign diplomacy. These are neither serious nor nice people.

We have been careful to avoid using the word coup, but it’s time to call it what it is—this is a coup. Trump signed an executive order granting only the attorney general or the president the authority to interpret laws executed by the executive branch.

Our team reviewed the entire DOGE website. Nothing they have identified constitutes evidence of fraud or corruption—both of which are crimes. Feel free to audit us. The funds were allotted by Congress, and OIGs regularly reviewed expenditures for fraud.

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.

Opportunities are everywhere.
Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉
