#Solidarity - We’re not saying burn it all down. We’re saying: vibrate together. When you know who’s raiding your home, your rights, your democracy — you don’t debate it, you act as one.
It’s a metaphor. It’s a warning.
It’s also a tiny fuzzy revolution, and honestly, it’s beautiful. 🐝🔥

the reason the term “tyranny of the majority” is useful is because tyranny of a minority is just the regular definition of tyranny
The Framers feared tyranny of the majority. They didn’t anticipate tyranny of the minority.

Every thing you do, no matter how small, to remind people that the wannabe dictators are actually sad, scared, fallible little boys is helpful. The more we laugh at them, the less fearsome they are and the easier it is to wrest power back from them.
Also? These messages are effing hilarious.

ELECTION RESULT: A team of city council members in Rolla, Missouri, have been pushing anti-LGTB policies, including a ban on drag shows and book censorship.
Voters just ousted all three of these city councilors who were running for reelection, backing candidates backed by a local LGBT group.

DON’T THROW AWAY YOUR SHOT

As of Friday, there have been 46 cases in which federal judges have blocked Trump policies.
The rulings in those cases have come from 39 different judges appointed by 5 different presidents (of both parties) to 11 different district courts across 7 different circuits.
Maybe it's not the judges?
