Every morning I’m like What now? This account is mostly political. It’s where I go to discuss the ongoing shit show, exchange ideas on how to push back against trump 2.0, and vent. Happy to engage in challenging discussions but maga is blocked on sight.

I (and others) have caught a lot of flak on here for calling out the pathetically tepid response to trump’s unexpected rapid dismantling of the federal government.

The main question I get is “what can a minority party do” and here are some of my ideas…would love to hear yours!

I urge our nation to use this weekend's No Kings marches as a declaration of independence against the tyranny and lawlessness currently running this country.

Use your voice. ACT PEACEFULLY. Protect yourself and your community.

THERE ARE NO KINGS IN THE UNITED STATES.

Murphy: "If we want to win the argument nationally on the economy, then we've got to break our addiction to incremental economic change. And we've got to talk about big, bold ideas that reorder power in this country."

We believe that in the wealthiest city in the wealthiest nation in the history of the world, working people deserve a dignified life.

And to the billionaires who think this movement is an existential threat to their corruption of our democracy: you're right.

As we all get ready for this weekend’s #NoKings protest always remember that non-violent protest is much more effective than violence when it comes to achieving a desired political outcome

The '3.5% rule': How a small minority can change the world

Nonviolent protests are twice as likely to succeed as armed conflicts – and those engaging a threshold of 3.5% of the population have never failed to bring about change.

Take a picture of yourself at the No Kings rally.

Print it.

Put it in a frame.

Your grandchildren will speak about you for generations to come. You took a stand against fascism. You stood up for democracy.

Millions of Americans will be protesting at #NoKings rallies across the country this weekend.

If you have a D representative or senator ask them to join us and if they don’t…consider a primary challenger who does next year!

I am sounding the alarm that the GOP is engaged in an all out attack voting rights and free and fair elections. Voter suppression, gerrymandering, and troops in blue cities are just some of the ways they are using to try to rig the rules to keep power in 2026 and beyond.

Pay attention and act!

We can’t pay air traffic controllers during the shutdown, making us less safe, but we can send $40 billion to bail out Argentina.

Make it make sense.
