As predicted.
NEW: Four years after GOP lawmakers in Georgia enacted one of the most aggressive anti-voting laws in the country, new evidence filed in federal court shows that Senate Bill 202 has drastically deepened racial inequalities in voting access in the state. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Love @ezralevin.bsky.social: "This is not the Trump Era. This is the #NoKings Era. Trump just happens to be living in it."
I’m sorry… what now?
Q: What does it say that president released a video of him pooping on the American people?

MIKE JOHNSON: You can argue he's probably the most effective person who has ever used social media. He's using satire to make a point. He's not calling for the murder of his political opponents.
I nominate for creepiest man on earth.
Trump campaigning for the Nobel Peace Prize is the most cringe thing he’s done in his quest to be as cool as Barack Obama.
Imagine being mad you didn’t win the Nobel Peace Prize while you’re busy stirring up Civil War in your own country.
Nonviolent resistance is the only way out of this. ❤️

⚖️ Moral clarity in the face of inhumane repression.

💪 Solidarity in the face of fear mongering & violent intimidation.

☮️ Hope & action in response to those who want us anxious, exhausted, disconnected & resigned.

Nonviolent resistance works 🕊️
We’re in a moment now where it would be worth people taking three hours to watch Gandhi, particularly the scene of the salt march. There is value to making the brutality of your opponent so plain as day that no one can argue with it. The clarity of that brought down an empire

Pro-tip: the people zip-tying kids or shoving the elderly down stairs are never the good guys.
💯
There’s just not enough attention being paid to how unqualified, psychologically unfit, and dangerous so many of these new ICE hires potentially are.

If we had a Congress, there’d be investigations & oversight into this.

This is my biggest concern right now—that politically active people who know better are scared silent. What do you think is going to happen to you if you speak up and show your cards? I promise what will happen if you don’t is way worse. #resist
This is exactly what the right wants— our silence.

They want us afraid and to stop speaking up, to check out, to shut up about politics. We can’t give them that. Not now. Not ever.
Shame on Apple & Google! Two of the largest, richest companies in the world obeying in advance, bowing to Trump administration pressure to infringe on our Constitutional rights while individual Americans #resist all day, every day. You 👀 weak - correct yr mistake asap!

I feel so helpless I can’t even wrap my mind around what’s happening to our country. Not knowing where to start, I donated* to the group mentioned in this article, but want to hear from others—what are you doing to feel less helpless right now?

* already donate regularly to @aclu.org etc

#resist
Worth your time as a reminder of the seriousness of this moral moment 💔
Military families- I want to know what you think of this:

“You kill people and break things for a living. You are not politically correct and don't necessarily belong always in polite society”

Is that what you signed up for? How you see things? Is that who you are?

There are no words. A psychopath is sitting in the Oval Office, demanding illegal acts from OUR military. 25th amendment NOW!

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane
This.
Charlie Kirk’s “Prove Me Wrong” campus debates looked like open dialogue, but they were actually carefully rigged performances.

Remember when Trump and the GOP campaigned on a platform of eliminating cancer research? Me neither. Who in America hasn’t lost a loved one to cancer? More people need to know about this. #fuckcancer #fucktrump #fuckthegop
The New York Times I’m fully aware has done real damage to our democracy. So I don’t need scolding about my choice to get the Sunday paper. Because they do important coverage. Like this. Not the messenger’s fault that this is profoundly demoralizing to me
I’d cancel again in a heartbeat
