There is a galaxy of difference between the Rebellion and the Empire’s faithful. We lead with hope, unity, and courage. We watch each other’s flanks. Even when stunned, struck, or fired upon, we hold the line. Our strength is in our resolve. Our resistance is our weapon.

Goodnight friends ♥️ Our hearts are with all of us at HHS who receive bad news tomorrow. And all those at health departments across the country who received bad news this week. Call us cheesy, but Lord of the Rings is on our minds.

The coolest thing I’ve seen today is that a bunch of volunteer public health professionals and developers have restored the CDC website from before January 20th 2025.

This differs from an archive in that they want to rebuild the links between pages and replicate the full website.

I think about this 2 minute speech a lot. Ella Baker with no time for applause and agreement, only time to remind everyone about what organizing and solidarity require

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

It's the entire email list for all DOGE employees. Have fun!

“what did i see to be except myself?

i made it up

here on this bridge between

starshine and clay,

my one hand holding tight

my other hand; come celebrate

with me that everyday

something has tried to kill me

and has failed.” — Lucille Clifton

❗ALERT❗ There are 3 congressional seats up for election (FL-1, FL-6, NY-21), 2 with voting starting in 3 weeks (links below). Media has been strangely silent on this 🤔 Congress is 218 R, 215 D. If we pick up 3 seats, we gain control of the House. A major step towards stopping Trump’s agenda

With everything going on in the world, I know it’s hard, but don’t forget to live. Find joy, smile, and hold on to what makes you happy. Because the weaker you feel, the easier it is for them to win.

If you’re at home today, not spending money, and feeling bored, you might be wondering, “What could I do?” Well, task one: you can make random reports on this website: enddei.ed.gov

None of us can be sure what will “work.” You try multiple things and find your way in. Read some histories of the Civil Rights Movement by those who participated. They were never “sure” of what would work. Some campaigns fizzled out. But persistence, creativity, determination, and focus were key.

Mutual Aid networks are going to be even more indispensable now. Join one today. Donate money to food banks and places that feed the hungry. Share free health screenings with your neighbors.

According to a WaPo article Luke Farritor is manually blocking @altusaid.bsky.social HIV/AIDS care funds in violation of court orders. Paused/stopped HIV treatment means more babies born with HIV, more infections, and more deaths. Let him know your thoughts.
