Maybe dem reps could hold their own state of the union on the Capitol steps. Steal the spotlight. Let members like AOC, Jasmine Crockett, Max Frost, and the DNC make remarks. Norms don't exist. Buck them.

There is nothing cooler than preventing a democracy from turning into a dictatorship
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.

This is such a beautifully written piece by Anne Helen Petersen, distilling what sort many of us have been talking about and feeling in our cores.
"...funding for the military, which is abs. not profitable, remained 👍. But funding for the arts, education, + care work — easily ✂️. Why fund schools if you don’t have kids in them? Why fund art you, personally, wouldn’t choose? Or a park you don’t visit? Or rsch to cure a disease you don’t have?"

Pam Bondi is disbanding the Foreign Influence Task Force - the FBI team that is charged with combatting foreign meddling in US elections.

Worth asking how this makes us more safe in any way, shape, or form.

Al Gore pitched a sovereign wealth fund once, but he called it a “lockbox.”

And it existed bc they’d taxed the wealthy a tiny bit, balanced the budget and had a surplus.

And he only wanted the fund to protect Social Security for Americans who weren’t millionaires.

So the GOP mocked it.

FUN FACT: trump CAVED yet again today, this time to Canada, to postpone his tariffs another 30 days.

The border security plans Canada is enacting were ALREADY planned while President Biden was in office.

By miles it is @aoc.bsky.social who has consistently held the line, alone. This is the type of leadership that’s needed, if your representative isn’t showing this kind of bravery then that isn’t your representative.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.

Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

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.

AOC saying it out loud: private prison camps are coming to your town, and members of Congress are going to profit off it.
AOC: "I want folks at home to look at what members of Congress are invested in private prisons companies, and look at the votes on this bill. It is atrocious that people are lining their pockets with private prison profits in the name of a horrific tragedy."
