It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office.

Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc.

Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

If there’s one thing we are NOT going to do, it’s succumb to despair and let the fascists win.

Millenials- in the words of Lin Manuel Miranda’s Hamilton- it’s time to 🎶 rise up 🎶

Find one thing you can do today that aligns with your values. Keep going.

3 things you can do right now.

1. Find a local organization that is helping a marginalized community and dontate your time and/or resources to their cause.

2. Stop spending your money in places that support/bow to MAGA.

3. Attend peaceful protests and make sure you know your rights.

Why is my tiktok feed full of people trying to “motivate me” to start working on my summer body now?

Babes we got a fascist regime to fight I don’t have time to snatch my waist.

I need a pizza and some trans rights are human rights STAT.

That Super Bowl was a gift for black artists. Kendrick showed us a way forward in this time of facism. Coded language. Storytelling. Aggressive humor and joy. Elevated artistry in the place of mere entertainment. Not obeying in advance. Saying the thing that respectability doesn’t want us say.

Cost of extending the expiring Trump tax cuts for the rich: $4.6 trillion

Cost of cutting corporate tax rate to 15%: $1 trillion

Both Trump proposals will explode the deficit and be used as an excuse to gut programs that millions rely on.

It's reverse Robin Hood.

This is Oligarchy. The three richest men in the world have become $196 BILLION richer since Donald Trump was elected.

$196 billion for three men in 99 days.

Meanwhile, 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck.
