Stop talking to fascists. We need more Tim Walz vibes and less of whatever this is.

You do not fight political fights with the same policy as your opponent, especially if you paint your opponent’s policy as dangerous.

Democrats should not get more conservative, the party should get dark money out and advocate for Medicare for All.

CFPB Is Suspended & We Are All at Risk What shutting down the CFPB means for working Americans and the billionaire class

Trump hopes Americans don’t realize what the CFPB does.

So I wrote this piece on why CFPB exists, the billions it has saved us, & why dismantling it devastates working people. This is class warfare & we cannot afford to lose.

We call upon our elected representatives to stand with us and to insist upon adherence to the rule of law and the legal processes and procedures that ensure orderly change. The administration cannot choose which law it will follow or ignore. These are not partisan or political issues. These are rule of law and process issues. We cannot afford to remain silent. We must stand up for the values we hold dear. The ABA will do its part and act to protect the rule of law. We urge every attorney to join us and insist that our government, a government of the people, follow the law. It is part of the oath we took when we became lawyers. Whatever your political party or your views, change must be made in the right way. Americans expect no less.

The American Bar Association has just called upon every attorney, regardless of their political views, to join them & stand up for the rule of law & at minimum insist that our government "follow the law."

Every lawyer has an ethical responsibility to do so.

the only people who benefit from this are child predators and i'd like dem officials to say so into a microphone

post from @h_lee_justine on threads: AOC was just on live giving us advice of what to do and she had very specific instructions depending on if your reps were Dem or repub. I'll share them but first things first you know l've been begging you to call your reps. AOC highlighted that is the BEST THING to do right now and that they really do listen when they get non stop calls. So please pledge to me that you're gonna make some calls tomorrow to both LOCAL AND DC OFFICES of your reps. Tell me below. Now if your...

...rep is Democrat, she wants you to ask them to obstruct ALL CABINET PICKS until Elon is no longer committing illegal acts in the fed gov. It's the one power Dems have right now. Zero appointments, full obstruction until Elon is OUT! Ask for that Tom. Use the 5 calls app or website to make it easy. Again, LOCAL AND DC Now if your rep is Republican, you're going to tell them that you will start looking for and campaigning for a challenger in their district this week if they don't act to...

...protect our data, the value of the US dollar, and integrity in our fed gov. She said she knows this seems like it won't do anything but to trust her, these people care. And they're hoping you get so complacent you're silent and they don't have to worry about re election. If you have any kind of platform with a following, tell them you'll use that to campaign against them. If you're a part of a large community group, even just a community garden, tell them you'll tell everyone locally...

..what they are or aren't doing to protect us from the coup by Elon Musk. You know people in your community. You have a voice. Tell them specifically how you'll use it. It matters guys. Everyone is scared right now. Apply pressure and tell everyone you know to

thread with @aoc.bsky.social’s advice for this moment, and it involves calling your reps.

not sure how? use 5calls.org (they have an app too).

No. One. Voted. For. Elon. Musk.

this genuinely, without exaggeration, healed a little fracture inside of me that has been broken my whole adult life

The new few weeks, months, years, will likely not be pretty. Get this guide to surveillance self-defense to your communities. It has printable PDFs as well as tailored reccomendations for certain activities, types of people, etc.

Close up view showing fraction of metals. Fun stuff.

Just had a sample of the Eaton Fire ash that is in my driveway run on the department XRF. Is there titanium (new house paint)? Yup. Lead (old house paint)? You betcha. Heavy metals? Check. Treat that ash like it's toxic folks (because it is)

Been getting a lot of people asking about LA geography concerned that the images they see means the entire county is on fire. That's understandable.

But LA is a big place. So, to give an idea of scale it's time to cart this out again. It's a map of LA with other cities superimposed on it.

SoCal friends, I’m so sorry you’re dealing with this. A few things I wish I’d known as we evacuated ahead of a wildfire (that took our home in 2021) 🧵
