Don’t be afraid of ICE, don’t be afraid of Trump. They are clowns and cowards. If enough of us stand up to them together, collectively, we win and build a more beautiful world on the far side of all this

Stop calling this an “administration.” It’s a fascist regime. Stop calling Trump “president.” He’s a dictator. Stop calling ICE “federal agents.” They are the gestapo. We need to collectively wake up and rise up

Thrilled to have @climatehuman.bsky.social join us in the House Scrolling Doom, to talk the state of the climate, fascism, and other topics of delight. He's a lover and a fighter, not a doomer, so come get juiced to fight for a better world! youtu.be/XqHInZFGkiw?...

Hi, this is Meg Barnette, Brad's wife. While escorting a defendant out of immigration court at 26 Federal Plaza, Brad was taken by masked agents and detained by ICE. This is still developing, and our team is monitoring the situation closely.

As a person with degrees from Harvard and Columbia, my feelings about the two institutions are only diverging over time. One said yes to fascism, one said no. It really is that simple. How much is it worth to be known forever as standing on the right side of history? Resist, resist, resist!!

This is HUGE: @nyccomptroller.bsky.social Brad Lander is drawing a line in the sand with Asset Managers like BlackRock who have been ignoring years of requests for more #climatecrisis accountability in their portfolios. NYC Pension is GIGANTRON and will be put out to bid if they don’t get Real ASAP.

I don't think it's too late for a rising! We've already started and I sense that it is growing. I do know, though, that it's the only way out... otherwise America falls like Nazi Germany did

Every citizen in the USA should be obliged to read or watch The Handmaid's Tale. Now. Oh. Damn it. It's already banned in parts of the USA. When a book becomes alive. Too quick. It seems it's already too late for a rising. But I do hope I am wrong. #TheHandMaidsTale #USA #Facism

Like all of us, universities had better band together to resist fascism! When united, universities will stand. Where is the movement among university presidents and administrators to unite Resistors in Nazi Germany never united, they stayed divided

We are not "on the verge of" a constitutional crisis, this IS the constitutional crisis. Trump is not "flirting with" lawless defiance of court orders, he IS defying court orders. This is fascism.

I just want to say that Trump and this administration CAN BE DEFEATED. They are fascists but they are idiots and they are massively overreaching. If we stand up to them, we will defeat them. United we stand - DO NOT COWER!

Why do so many people still suggest "calling your Congressional office or the White House" as like the go-to form of "resistance." Just saw this in a comment by Nicholas Kristof, the NYT columnist, but have been seeing it all over. I thought it was clear that was deader than dead as a useful thing

This is not America. This is the US of Fascism "We’re not stopping,” Mr. Homan said on Monday, during an appearance on Fox & Friends. “I DON'T CARE WHAT THE JUDGES THINK — I don’t care what the left thinks. We’re coming.”

🚨 BREAKING: 11 young people were arrested after Schumer locked the doors on us—we showed him how to fight, but he couldn’t even face us. His cowardly deal gives Musk the keys to our government while working people suffer. If he won’t fight for us, he’s unfit to lead. Step up or step aside.

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable. Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes. Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.
