So I’ve had tons of ideas about creating an ongoing protest movement around the Sandwich guy.
Should we call him the hoagie guy? The sandwich handler. The unarmed man who ran. The tosser of the ham?
Hoagie stickers. Hoagie signs kind of like the number one fingers that you see at sports games.

I may have just created a new term for the MAGA faithful.
No credit needed. Just use and share freely!!!
E.g.:

"CA D1 Rep Doug LaMalfa is a TRUPPET!!!"

We're still trying to build this space in Chico, CA. Any donations this week will be matched by the national Indivisible org! If you've been thinking about donating, now is an excellent time to maximize your impact!!

🕐 It’s 1AM. Do you know where your Member of Congress is?

👀 They’re in the Rules Committee trying to sneak through a tax scam that guts Medicaid & school meals.

Because when your plan is this toxic, you gotta pass it while everyone’s asleep.

I think this substack is great, and right on base with this post. Its not pretty. Timothy Snyder identified it as a coup at the first, and said we needed to act quickly. 2.5 months out we're just starting to go to the streets. I fear for our country now.

"A recent New York Times article reported that...the country is in a constitutional crisis, but it began by acknowledging, ***“There is no universally accepted definition of a constitutional crisis.”***
See my link to 'small, lonely actions' below ideas of ways to act in this moment.

On the 'what are we doing if anything' front:
1) Dems are putting forward online petitions (which make NO action)and
2) referring to a 'constitutional crisis' is meaningless to most.
We need GUIDANCE in the words we read -- actions IN EVERY article to help us help you! C'mon leaders. LEAD US.

This info is extrordinarily practical right now. And uplifting, and empowering. Worth a listen.

Annnnddd... I took part in Chico’s NMP demo today. It was heartening to see ~200 people, many with signs. A CSUC professor told of a Valentine's Day letter from campus admin requiring deletion of listed words from research docs including "women", and $200 million in research canceled.

Latest good reads/listens that taught me stuff relevant to our present moment.

Current admin's illegal actions; historical context, what can be done, current # of and topics of legal actions against T&Co.

<After some weeks, she returns>
Continuing research of potential outlets to share my mind. Still on FB now, but planning an exit-ish strategy.

My vision is to post fave reliable info and *action resources, plus my own notes from the field.
*craving some leadership here <unbelieving> 😠

Adiel is great and her work in part prompted UPS to install ACs in their trucks during blistering hot summers. A true impact journalist.

Hello bsky flyers!
Thanks for following and hey, more of you can do so if you're up for watching me learn a new social app in real time. Plus, more of this this means less of MZ kowtowing to DT. Still waiting for meta stock to show our collective impact. :(
