Historically, bureaucracy is what wins wars, but go off tough guy.

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.

She's after my snacks!

More of this. Resigning in protest has little significance anymore. Say no, throw a fit, make waves. Politicize the public in favor of the civil service. We are in danger without it.

The revolution may need violence. That is a possibility.

But it also needs healers.
It needs gardeners.
It needs leaders.
It needs managers.
It needs cooks.
It needs farmers.
It needs tailors.
It needs educators.
It needs journalists.
It needs artists.
It needs builders.

You are not useless.

HUGE shoutout to data archivists- this work is important 👏🙌🏻

It's not like I have a kid in Lakeville schools (who just pulled the inclusion posters down)
It's totally fine! 🫠

Yeah. Me too.

The Internet Archive has to date downloaded 500 terabytes of US government websites, which it crawls at the end of every presidential term. The whole archive is fully searchable. This effort's housed by a donation-funded nonprofit, not a branch of the US government. blog.archive.org/2024/05/08/e...

We need more of this!!

There has been this sentiment that we need to comply until we get validation that these EOs are illegal.

Do the opposite. Put the burden on the White House to prove they have legal standing. Don’t comply with something that we know should be transparently illegal.

I don’t want to hear about rushing them a donation, I want to see pictures of Senators getting arrested for civil disobedience in the capitol complex. Ante the fuck up.

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942.

I know. I was there in those camps.

His goal is the complete and total destruction of the United States of America.

Timeline cleanse! Lumi watching her favorite movie, Togo. Please interact so I can temporarily avoid seeing how my government is trying to dehumanize people I love!

Lumi has a mission to capture all crows! It's so loud in this little enclosed space! 🫨

Time to post this again

It's terrifying that convincing is even needed. Let alone that people feel like the point is moot.

I think this is going to turn into a Lumi stan account for a bit. Maybe I can distract myself from the wildness that is the US.

In case anyone needs a momentary doomscroll stop. This is Lumi she went to doggy daycare for the first time today. I think she had fun. I've never seen her this asleep!

Fuck anyone who tries to tell you that you or your friends no longer have the right to exist.

I would argue it's impossible! 😆

My dog still refused to come inside today! She's make for MN winters I guess. 🤷‍♀️

ICE is planning immigration raids starting Tuesday. Please amplify.

I was told (by myself) that I'm not allowed to buy any more books until I read at least a few of the ones I already have! 🫠

I'm going to go back eventually. Only to make sure I've followed my favorite people elsewhere. Then I'll delete it. Like Facebook and Instagram, it's too late. The trust is beyond broken.

It seems wrong to go back. I followed here! Hopefully, people don't go crawling back just because it's easy.
