As an app developer, I'm forced to live in the Apple & Google ecosystems. To fight back, I changed the top of my settings page to look like this. I think of it as "carbon offsets for fascism". For every dollar that Apple & Google get from my app, I give a dollar to Protect Democracy.

I need to hear from the folks in the 60/70s and protesting Vietnam (and everything else)...did shit feel as corrupt, unjust, overwhelming, and impossible to overcome as they do now? Not inviting you to compare, more how you felt in the moment, not knowing what you know now

SOLIDARITY: Brass Solidarity is a community band that has been meeting weekly to spread music since 2021. They typically play Mondays at 5:30 p.m. at George Floyd Square, but on Jan. 12 they performed at the memorial where Renee Good was killed by ICE goon Jonathan Ross.

Non-violent protest is NOT peaceful protest.
Politicians and the media use these words interchangeably to our detriment. And most folks don't hear the difference. Here's what I mean:

"As a longtime foreign correspondent, I have covered civil wars in countries across the globe. Not so long ago, I would have rolled my eyes at the notion that one could erupt anywhere in America, much less in my once placid home state of Minnesota. And yet here I was"
I went to Minneapolis last week. What I saw was horrifying and inspiring in equal measure. Gift link to my latest column: www.nytimes.com/2026/01/19/o...

WA residents - this is a great time to call or email your state senator in support of SB 5855 to prohibit face masks and require LEOs to be identifiable. The bill should be up for a floor vote soon.

This is the safest, most moderate course of action that offers some prospect of de-escalation. It is the only way for Democrats.
Don't do it and we're on a glide path toward brutal fascist dictatorship or civil war. This isn't going to just stop on its own.

Senate Democrats absolutely have to shut the govt down to stop this ICE insanity in the Twin Cities. This is not sustainable & cannot be normalized. Any Democratic vote to provide money to the thugs who are brutalizing this community is a grave betrayal to the people here. Accountability can't wait.

This. I am done returning to the status quo of what got us here. I want universal healthcare. I want a maximum wage tied to the minimum wage. I want omnipresent, cheap public transit and walkable neighborhoods. I want Supreme Court and police reform, and I want the rich to pay their fair share.
We need to pick up this Overton Window and throw it as far as we can. Stop waiting for shit to “be popular” and start advocating for what is transparently right.

Imagine winning your last 2 elections by 750k votes in a Democratic trifecta state and posting this twaddle
President Trump’s actions today with Venezuela raise more questions than answers. Is America going to be involved in running and stabilizing Venezuela? Today's actions raise many questions about the stability of the region and our policy towards South America.
