The man said he didn't know why he had been pulled over.

I care about those in peril and am praying for them them constantly... Could we as a country please support those who help people BEFORE a disaster happens? After people die because of government irresponsibility is too little too late damnit!

We are coming on 20 years since Katrina... I was there! I was also growing up in Florida when my dad was covering hurricanes every summer as I accompanied him. NOAA and NWS... not to mention FEMA (after the fact) are VITAL services!

What can one person do to resist authoritarianism? Plenty. Boycott. Troll snitch lines. Worship a noodle god. This is your playbook for disrupting tyranny— because democracy won’t save itself. #Velshi
The people’s guide to beating back authoritarianism with noodles, satire, and more

From civil disobedience to trolling snitch hotlines and weaponizing satire, everyday Americans have come up with creative ways to challenge oppressive systems. Here is a playbook for defending democracy from the ground up that includes boycotts and iironic noodle worship. History reveals that resistance rarely starts in the halls of power; it starts with us.

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism.

We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive

We will not be distracted.
We will not be discouraged.
We’ve got our eyes on the prize.

And we will build the prosperous, free nation for all that we deserve.

The time to organize is now.

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable.

Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes.

Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.
