The Treasury Department right now. People are turning out against Musk and DOGE staging a takeover of the Treasury’s payment system. This crowd is big. The whole block is packed. “Lock him up,” everyone yells.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.
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 📉

calling is real. calls work. they don’t always get what you want — nothing in life does. that’s not a reason to not try, if you can.
I recently reposted a former congressional staffer who said that when an issue got 20-30 calls it would get representatives freaked out and ready to do something. It takes less than you’d think, because so few people actually take that kind of action

I'm deeply torn between "this Administration will cause lasting harm to our institutions through completely ill-considered executive actions and erratic policies" and "everything this administration does is so embarrassingly amateurish they're going to have every single EO rescinded by courts"

A whole bunch of people are about to realize how much they rely on the resources & infrastructure of government and that "burning it all down" isn't the winning policy platform they thought it was.

I am such a believer in this. Down-ballot is the way.
It’s also how we build a sustainable future of good leaders and infrastructure to elect and support them, as well as the movements they represent.
We don’t just need strong candidates. We need strong organizers, managers, CoS, grassroots, etc.

I’ve been organizing in rural areas since the first Trump administration. Rural Dems can make the difference in races at the top of the ticket.
Republicans have all of the electorate they’re ever going to have. Organize to turn out 5% to 10% more Dems in rural spaces. Watch what happens…

If we allow ourselves to fall into fatalism, or wallow in disappointment, or become resigned to what is rather than what should be, we will lose the long game.

It shows 24 hours of Earth's rotation, with the camera locked to the sky instead of the ground. We're all hanging out on this spinning rock.

When someone says “the president is not a dictator” and you say “maybe soon though” I worry that that’s a akin to “obeying in advance.”
No. The president of the US is not a dictator. Even if he would like to be, we will not allow it.

so far the only explanation i've seen that doesn't smack of "if only she'd listen to me she would have won" is "global discontent with incumbents because of inflation and post-pandemic malaise + toxic information environments"
