Listen friends - gather your hope where you can. People showed up in all 50 states on a moments notice. Voicemail boxes of senators are filling up. Lawsuits are being filed.

Look at all the good people.

And do not forget to take care of yourselves. Seriously. This is a long haul.

YES.

How about congress acts because he ENACTED it and even if he rescinds it make sure he can't do it again? How about if congress gets their feet underneath them before he removes any power there might be there to stop him. Also, OPM has our records, and Musk has OPM. Maybe look into that.

very excited to see what happens when you make a deeply compromised addict the leader of the department of defense and subordinate to a madman

I answered a reporter's question: "The long-term well-being of our climate system is incompatible with the short-term gains of shareholders." I stand by that statement.

If you happen to renew your passport successfully and manage to change your gender marker, please for the love of god don't post about it online.

It should prob be remembered that “birthright citizenship” was the product of the abolitionist mvt, which understood that no person of color would be safe from deportation or bondage if their citizenship could be questioned or taken away

Welcome Home, President Nyarlathotep Please allow me to take your umbrella, Dread Lord. My advisors informed me this morning during my final daily presidential briefing that Hell had f...

"The gears of this Great Nation grind on, no matter who or how many people beg us to stop and reconsider. My only responsibility today is to pass the torch that will help illuminate a new era that’s somehow more hauntingly grotesque, bleak, and horrifying than your first."

The "he's not gonna listen to her" reactions are missing many points. Lots of other people are also hearing it. Lots of people can see him hearing it, then weigh what she's said with what he'll do. Lots of people can see her refusal to surrender these ancient teachings to the latest face of empire

The Nature Conservancy pledges to continue honoring the Paris Agreement On January 20, 2025, President Donald Trump withdrew the U.S. from the Paris Agreement, an international treaty which aims to limit global temperature from increasing more than 2°C.

"When scientists tell us that limiting the global temperature from rising more than 2°C (3.6°F) will help protect the diversity of life on earth, we listen and we act. That is why TNC will continue to honor the Paris Agreement goals and help the U.S. do its part." @nature.org

agreed. I've also sat down and determined how to give billionaires the least amount of money in my life. #NoBuyYear I like to call it #MyProject2025. I'll be biking, eating local food, and working to enhance community resilience in my neck of the woods.

Remember that you were raised on stories about hyperindividualistic chosen ones where saving the entire world is the minimum win condition.

It's fine to tune your expectations down from that a smidge. You're not going to dethrone god today but maybe do something nice for your neighbors.

Also, it was a fuckin Nazi salute come the fuck on

Clearing the decks, lowering my center of gravity, tying better knots, strengthening foundations.

In general, as a tran, I am trying not to overestimate the risk of state-backed violence against me (though it is considerable) in the next several years and not underestimate the risk of violence from random individuals that the state mostly pretends not to see. Stay safe out there, pals.

He was karate-chopping the neck of a transgender ghost. Calm down everyone.

It sucks that humanity’s ability to see the origins of the universe and create miraculous vaccines and begin to acknowledge every person’s right to exist made so many dumb assholes so scared.

Prep for ICE raids: non Spanish speakers, to alert Spanish speakers of an incoming ICE raid shout “Oye La Migra Aqui”. Pronounced “oh yay, La Meegrah, a key”. Translated means “heads up immigration enforcement is here.”

Endure. Persevere. Survive. Help your people. Get a little tougher and meaner but don’t let it poison your heart.

Do not obey in advance

Tweet from the Anti-Defamation League, or ADL: This is a delicate moment. It's a new day and yet so many are on edge. Our politics are inflamed, and social media only adds to the anxiety. It seems that @elonmusk made an awkward gesture in a moment of enthusiasm, not a Nazi salute, but again, we appreciate that people are on edge. In this moment, all sides should give one another a bit of grace, perhaps even the benefit of the doubt, and take a breath. This is a new beginning. Let's hope for healing and work toward unity in the months and years ahead. 5:52 PM • Jan 20, 2025

This is so bad

Norman Rockwell’s “Freedom of Speech” painting

When he dies, I hope he’s alone and frightened and it hurts like hell.

Looking forward to everyone in telling us that Musk didn’t just give a Nazi salute at the Trump inaugural.

Front row of Trump's inauguration. Total net worth of almost $900 BILLION.

THIS is who Trump will be helping.
THIS is who Trump will be listening to.
THIS is who he will pick up the phone for.

Not you.

We’ve stood strong before—this time is no different. Together, we’ve got this.
