Unless you're at an actual "sit-in," don't sit down - follow this advice:
#ICEPROTESTS #PROTESTS #Trump #NoKings #DontSitDown

Good riddance, Facebook. Fuck Zuckerberg and his billionaire ego trip. Fuck Meta. The future belongs to platforms that actually respect the people who use them.

#DeleteFacebook #FuckZuck #DEImatters #DontSitDown

Final Thought:⚠️ If Dems don’t start leveraging their power even in the minority, they will continue to be a reactionary, ineffective party of losers. Republicans never stop playing offense, so why should we?

Share their stories, share links to resources, and raise your voice in solidarity. They need us now more than ever and we must protect them at all cost. Let’s make this year’s ITDOV the loudest and most impactful one yet! #Trans #TransRightsAreHumanRights #TransRights #TransVisibility #DontSitDown

Trump’s First Big Fiasco Triggers Stephen Miller’s Rage—Take Note Dems The Democrats finally started to find their legs after Trump’s spending freeze. The key lesson? Making sheer political noise about something does make a difference.

Look what can happen when people raise their voice. #DontSitDown

Borders don’t need tanks. they need humane policies. Refugees aren’t invaders; they’re human beings. And this order? It’s not leadership. it’s cowardice cloaked in cruelty. #DontSitDown #DefendAsylum #HumanRightsMatter

Authoritarianism doesn’t thrive because it’s strong. It thrives because too many of us stay silent or sit out. So crank up the volume and make it clear: this story isn’t over, and we’re still writing the next chapter. Also, someone let the Four Horsemen know they’re running late. #DontSitDown

Today we are reminded that the fight for justice and truth is far from over. We must stand united, hold leaders accountable, and push for the values that move our nation forward. The arc of history bends toward justice, but only if we pull it. Stand up, resist, and refuse to sit down. #DontSitDown

America, like Athens, is at a crossroads. We can cling to a broken system, or we can embrace leaders who are willing to disrupt the status quo and fight for a more equitable future. The choice is ours. Let’s choose reform before it’s too late. #DontSitDown

Keep the pressure. Call out these politicians. Share this thread. Use every platform available to keep the conversation alive. Because the moment we sit down and stay quiet is the moment they win. And we’re not about to let that happen. #DontSitDown #TikTok #TikTokBan #FreeTheInternet

This is your wake-up call. The #TikTokBan isn’t just an attack on a platform—it’s an attack on your voice, your movement, and your future. Don’t let them silence you. Organize. Demand accountability. And remember: They fear you because you’re powerful. #DontSitDown

And let’s not forget: The same politicians screaming about TikTok and ‘foreign influence’ are taking millions from corporations that exploit workers, dodge taxes, and pollute our planet. Their moral outrage is about as real as a three-dollar bill. #DontSitDown

Here’s the truth: This ban isn’t about TikTok. It’s about power. It’s about politicians who answer to corporate donors, not to you. It’s about media conglomerates protecting their stranglehold on the narrative. And it’s about silencing the one platform they couldn’t buy. #DontSitDown

Shutting down TikTok is more than censorship—it’s an assault on your right to information. They want to funnel you back into corporate-controlled media ecosystems, where they decide what you see, what you know, and how you think. That’s not democracy, that’s control. #DontSitDown

This isn’t about protecting you from China. It’s about ensuring that corporations like Meta, Google, and Comcast have a monopoly on your attention. It’s about keeping power in the hands of a few, where they can control the media you consume and the ideas you’re exposed to. #DontSitDown

American corporations don’t want to ‘fix’ TikTok—they want to own it, control it, and profit from it. #DontSitDown #TikTokBan

Legacy media institutions like CNN, Fox, and MSNBC are owned or sponsored by corporations like Comcast, Disney, and News Corp. They shape the narratives we consume. TikTok disrupted that. It gave you unfiltered stories, raw activism, and voices they couldn’t control. That scared them. #DontSitDown

Let’s dig deeper, because this isn’t just about Congress. This is about money, power, control, and who benefits from silencing a platform like TikTok. The same politicians pushing this ban are in bed with the corporations and lobbyists who stand to gain the most. Let’s connect the dots. #DontSitDown

Demand real data privacy laws that target ALL platforms, not just TikTok. Use other platforms to organize and resist. #DontSitDown

So what can we do? Hold these politicians accountable. Hakeem Jeffries, Nancy Pelosi, Josh Hawley, Mark Warner, Marco Rubio, Cathy McMorris Rodgers—know their names, know their lies, and let them feel the consequences at the ballot box. #DontSitDown

And here’s the kicker: These same politicians tell you to vote, to engage in the political process, to make your voice heard. Then they ban the very platform where you were doing just that. They want your compliance, not your empowerment. #DontSitDown

Make no mistake: TikTok became a problem for the establishment because it gave you a voice. It gave marginalized communities, progressives, and activists a platform to organize and challenge power. This ban isn’t about national security—it’s about silencing dissent. #DontSitDown

Let’s not forget Mark Warner and Raja Krishnamoorthi. These Democrats led the charge, peddling fear about TikTok while cozying up to Silicon Valley donors. It’s hypocrisy, plain and simple. #DontSitDown

This disingenuous framing isn’t just disrespectful—it’s dishonest. They’re gaslighting young Americans, pretending this ban is for our benefit while sweeping their real motives under the rug. The truth is they’re scared of a platform where young people organize, educate, and resist. #DontSitDown

They say this is about ‘national security,’ but let’s be honest: If Congress cared about your data privacy, they’d be going after Meta, Google, and Amazon for selling your personal info like it’s a Black Friday deal. This isn’t about security—it’s about control. #DontSitDown

The #TikTokBan is live, and let’s not beat around the bush—this was never about protecting your data or keeping you safe from China. This was about silencing young voices, progressive ideas, and grassroots movements that scare the pants off the establishment. #StandUp #DontSitDown 🧵

A gray tuxedo cat has emerged from his blanket, confused after his nap.

You could be forgiven for not realizing there is a cat napping wrapped up in a blanket. It is okay. Just don’t sit there. #DanielCraigKitty #Cat #CatBlanket #Purrito #AfternoonNap #DontSitDown #BlueSkyCats #CatTax
