he’s the guy who loses one territory in Risk, overturns the board, and declares himself the King of Space

None of us can be sure what will “work.” You try multiple things and find your way in. Read some histories of the Civil Rights Movement by those who participated. They were never “sure” of what would work. Some campaigns fizzled out. But persistence, creativity, determination, and focus were key.

Strength is standing up to foreign interference in our elections.

Weakness is letting Russia, China, and Iran have their way.

We need to protect our democracy, not let adversaries infiltrate it.

RONALD REAGAN (1988): We should be aware of the demagogues who are ready to declare a trade war against our friends, weakening our economy, our national security, and the entire free world—all while cynically waving the American flag.

Idgaf I’m still fighting for guaranteed healthcare.

Aspiration is the answer. Not just “we’re not the bad guys.”

We need something more meaningful than that. I want a future worth fighting for. They have no vision. We do. Lean into our strengths and knock them out. 👊🏽

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too.

Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more.

Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.

The words of Dr King are still true today. Let us celebrate him and everything he has taught us knowing the difficult days ahead. He never sat down and neither can we.

Happy MLK Jr. Day, my friends. In 1968, Dr. King spoke the following words, which are equally true today:

"The nation is sick. Trouble is in the land; confusion all around.... But I know, somehow, that only when it is dark enough, can you see the stars."

We must find & feed the points of light.

If you're stressing out about tomorrow, there are now over 400 local immigration groups listed on this spreadsheet across all 50 states, DC and Puerto Rico - take a minute, find one near you, and commit to spending an hour volunteering with them.
To mark "Trump will declare a national emergency for mass deportations" day: here is the initial spreadsheet of our crowd-sourced *local* immigration advocacy/support organizations.

Please share widely, put to good use, and keep letting me know about more organizations folks can connect with.

This is a bad look for Dems. Trump signed the EO to ban TikTok due to K-Pop fans reserving tickets for his rallies. Biden punts it to Trump, and he will hail himself a hero for extinguishing his own arson.

What if we just didn’t go back to TikTok? The ghosting, the lack of care—it’s giving toxic. Trump “saving us”? Yikes. What if we stay here, chill on YouTube, and look for a platform that treats us right? Feels like time for a healthier digital relationship.
