Bridges Too Far
The Trump White House is going out too far and could collapse its own fascist agenda.

I adored Andor for many reasons, but this speech from a resistance fighter overlaid with what’s happening now, in our galaxy, right here… is everything.
Ok, I couldn't stop thinking about this. Apologies to the literally dozens of people I've lifted from... I want to do a fully credited version, but I'm sitting here sobbing and, well, maybe you'll feel some release, too.

I really appreciate Mary Geddry's synopsis of ALL THE THINGS. It's exhausting, but the bare minimum we can do is to keep our attention on what's happening. Awareness > Action!

Power first. People last. From ICE violence to climate denial to #ACA brinkmanship, Trump’s governing logic is brutally consistent. #uspolitics #kakistocracy #authoritarianism #renee

Just a reminder to all my fellow Californians to remove yourself from all the data brokers by going to: privacy.ca.gov/DROP/. Email verification is still a bit wonky, so save your name & number. You can then go back in to verify your emails (much easier). Let's keep our data our own!

Protect your personal information. Data brokers collect, share, and sell your personal information. You can stop that from happening.

There are more of us than there are of them—and we know our right to assemble peacefully and protest. I’m counting on my fellow Americans to prove that at the No Kings protest on Oct. 18.

We're witnessing the most aggressive, fanatical crackdown on free speech in my lifetime. The speed and breadth of government censorship and private sector and nonprofit capitulation has been astonishing. As has the lack of urgency/silence from people who've long claimed to care about this stuff.

This is a time of worry, outrage, & hopelessness. We aren’t OK. We’re truly in a dark & scary place. It’s tough to keep our heads up as the daily tsunami of bad news washes over us. But we must keep fighting for what’s right and good. Don’t stay silent… stay informed. Be strong. You are NOT alone!
