This country is becoming unrecognizable. What we’re seeing is state-funded fear. We’ve warned people: keep filming, go live on social media so these moments are documented and shared. This wasn’t a case involving masked ICE agents—but that’s happening too.
Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.
I kept seeing calls around the internet for a progressive Project 2029, but I couldn't find one. So I created one. It is set up for public comment. Please add your ideas. #project2029

If you were in Congress, what would you do for the State of the Union? What do you think Dems should do?
Coordinate a long chant of all of Trump’s abuses, shouted over the entire speech. With accompanying signs.
Apparently our illustrious president and his cronies want parents and students to narc on their schools about eeeevvvviillll DEI via enddei.ed.gov. Would be a real shame if that site got swamped with false reports. I definitely don’t advocate doing that, and I don’t suggest using a VPN/Tor browser.
It's time to stand up and speak out.
Call (202) 224-3121 and tell your representatives to not let Donald Trump and his administration take away your services.
Since we started the Elon Musk boycott, Tesla shares have dropped nearly 26% in the last month. Remember, don’t buy anything Elon.
It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office.
Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc.
Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.
Under fascism, no one is safe.
Universities stayed quiet as the admin targeted DEI & foreign aid, censored research, etc.
Now, they face devastating cuts to indirect cost rates, threatening research & operations.
Silence won’t protect institutions. It won’t protect people; it never does.

Please, everyone, drop what you’re doing and read this:
Please share: We’ve received word that Elon Musk’s staffers are using space characters to identify information leakers. Before sharing any information, please use a checker to detect and remove these.
Shameful and murderous

Illinoisans are going to pay the price for Donald Trump’s tariffs on our largest trading partners.
Let's call it what it is: Trump’s Tax on Working Families.
And when people lose jobs because of it, that's the biggest tax of all.
Hey, arts people, more of this energy please. #resist
@corybooker.com hello I used to run the Wendy’s Twitter account and I am begging you to let me help you with the dems social media strategy, I will literally do it for free at this point
Are you writing your government representatives every day? Why not? Better than yelling at others on social media. #resist
(Also @resist.bot is a great way to make that process quick and simple.)
When asked if he was going to visit the crash site he said, ‘what site? The water? You want me to go swimming?’ This is one of the last pics of the young skaters who died. He’s a sociopath. Anyone who voted for this monster should be ashamed at best.
Our work at Smile Politely is a testament to how deeply we care about our community. As it turns out, that’s where all of us as community members can have the biggest impact.
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.

Executive Order on Radical Indoctrination is glorified hot steam of the Lost Cause. Educators, parents, and all lovers of education won’t roll over and comply. We are prepared to continue educating “unpatriotic content.” We refuse to be mouth pieces of anything other than radical truth.
RFK saying that “Blacks” have better immune systems and shouldn’t get the same vaccines as white people should be disqualifying. But we live in really dumb times.
Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.
Opportunities are everywhere.
Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉
Suddenly, out of nowhere, a declassified World War II-era CIA guide to sabotaging fascism in the workplace has become one of the most popular free ebooks on the internet:

Folks, this is the time for constant contact with your representatives at all levels of government, and there is no easier way to do that than @resist.bot. Consider joining with a Premium membership. #resist
Democrats need to INSPIRE and COMPEL. We have to acknowledge that further elections won’t be won by facts or by policies (though aligning with facts and having good policies is also a requirement for the left*) but by a great story.
(* - and only the left. Nothing like playing with a handicap)
See the thread here. It’s like Trump 2 doesn’t think a presidency is complete without another pandemic or two. We don’t give aid just to be nice.
