No matter how many awful things come out of this White House, you can organize your community at the state and local level to fight back against the oligarchy.
Kudos to everyone who organized and won against Big Tech last year. Let’s keep up the fight this year and beyond.

Reminder: ICE has a budget bigger than most militaries around the world.
It has increased its spending on weapons by 700% since Trump took office.
Trump is building his own personal military to terrorize American cities, trample on civil rights, and intimidate his opponents.

Remember folks, you’re not allowed to impede law enforcement officers…unless you’re a election conspiracist Trump-loving MAGA domestic terrorist, in which case you can beat LEOs with the American flag and receive presidential praise and presidential pardon.
Those are the new, authoritarian rules.

As of this week, millions of Americans are now paying thousands more for health insurance.
If the President and Congressional GOP think Washington has the capacity to "run" Venezuela right now, why won't they fix the insurance cost crisis they've created here at home?

Mamdani: I have been told that this is the occasion to reset expectations, that I should use this opportunity to encourage the people of New York to ask for little and expect even less. I will do no such thing. The only expectation I seek to reset is that of small expectations.

Been thinking about alternative ways to structure labor, specially desired ways to use energy and not as a means to exist. I like the idea of creating an organization that compensates labor via barter and resource sharing in addition to monetary ways.

First they shut down the government. Then they tampered with federal workers’ emails to shift the blame. This is corruption in broad daylight.
Education Department employees surprised to find their email automatically changed to blame Democrats for shutdown
Five furloughed employees told NBC News they had put up nonpartisan out-of-office messages, only to see they were changed — without their permission — to partisan ones.

Sotomayor’s support for the aggressive pro-democracy movement is so important at this critical time. She understands that while we must bring difficult cases and be willing to lose, we must always fight to win. And by lending her voice she affirmed that it is “our time to stand up and be heard.”
Justice Sotomayor’s Message to Lawyers: Stand Up, Fight and Win
In an era when judges are often assessed by their commitment to democracy, Justice Sonia Sotomayor stands as a stalwart in the pro-democracy camp.
