The Egyptian pro-democracy activist Wael Ghonim said,

"The power of the people is greater than the people in power."

This is a checklist of things you can do, probably should do, resources, ideas, ways to move forward.

“I just don’t know what to do!!” shouldn’t be something you say now.

Our first post: Free Palestine 🇵🇸

Palestinian protesters was disappeared by US government.
UPDATE—Mahmoud's attorney says they do NOT know where he is.
They were first told he was sent to an ICE facility in Elizabeth, NJ. But when his 8-month-pregnant wife tried to visit him, she was told he's not there.
They've received reports he may be sent as far away as Louisiana.

Using a Black child with brain cancer as a prop...and to promote law enforcement. By far the most vile moment of this hideous evening. The same MAGA that tries to ban DEI and says black people come from "shithole countries" and promotes white supremacist conspiracies. Vile.

I should pause here and say that pretty much every time I speak about my own harm (that is being paid for by NY taxpayers) the court receives a letter from Cuomo’s attorney’s trying to silence me.

Many many apologies to the brilliant, important @chenoweth.bsky.social for the fact that I had a typo in their name in this piece! 😬 (And thanks to the folks who caught it for me, way too late.)

This is one of the most important things I've done, just reporting on their work.

We. Can. Do. This.
Over 50% of nonviolent movements to overthrow governments are successful within one year of their peak.

The key is to engage over 3.5% of the country, a cross-section of society—clergy, kids, grandmas, teachers) using DIVERSE & CREATIVE tactics, with women in leadership.

We can do this.

Loves! I'm trying to land more freelance writing, performing, and recording work (remote or in-studio) - so I built myself a site for housing / sharing some past works. If you're of the opinion that I'm good at writing / singing, I'd love a signal boost. Thx! www.candicehelfandrogers.com

Unsurprisingly, the regret rate for trans affirming treatment is lower than any other major medical procedure - by a lot!

Let the record show that this rabbi believes that threatening to deport anyone who took part in exercising their first amendment right, regardless of their citizenship status, is absolutely, entirely, wholly bullshit.

(And also presumably illegal, but I'm sure the ACLU has those receipts.)

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it.

Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice.

But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word.

They aren’t firing for a reason.

Not obeying in advance. And just plain refusal. Don’t comply. Don’t collaborate.
If you can unionize, do it. If you have a union you can join, do it. Then how else in your community can you participate in a group movement to weaponize your compliance?
AUTHORITARIAN KRYPTONITE IS NONCOMPLIANCE

the only thing they have is people choosing to go along with the ruse.

The minute alllllll the people busy propping up the evil say: Nah, not today, they are out of business.

Decide how you’re gonna help gum up the works of harm.

If you're thinking of using TurboTax but you can't get your taxes done there for free, I recommend FreeTaxUSA.com

If you do have to pay for portions of it, it's MUCH cheaper & has everything TurboTax has & more (live help, etc) for a fraction of the cost.

This isn't an ad, nobody paid me 4 this ❤️
