I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

When I say I love Cheesecake Factory, I mean this cat who was found malnourished and wandering through a Bay Area mall parking lot. Cheesecake Factory has since been rescued and nursed back to health. He's now healthy, vaxxed, & sweet, but still needs a loving home www.petfinder.com/cat/cheeseca...

Solar has overtaken nuclear. A decade ago it supplied 1% of the world's power. In 2025 it met three quarters of global demand growth. Almost nobody saw it coming. I spoke to Jocelyn Timperley at BBC Future about why. www.bbc.co.uk/future/artic...

These people don’t want to win; they don’t even want to persuade. They want a world where they are a pure and rarified elite, with none of the responsibilities of actual power, only the smug gratification of being right.

Loved this.

Abortion bans are violation of the separation of church and state.

This is one of the most holy sh*t stories I’ve ever read in my life. www.vanityfair.com/story/jared-...

"They are unanimous in their hate for me -- and I welcome their hatred" -- FDR, October 31, 1936

DIRTY MOTHER FUCKER JUST LIKE HIS JAIL BIRD DADDY.

Sodium-ion batteries scaling up.

US garment workers helped pioneer multi-ethnic labor unions, which united people across racial, religious, gender, linguistic, and cultural divides. Also native-born citizens and immigrants. I think about that sometimes when I see people suggest such divides are unbridgeable.

Dolly Parton's sister claims voting machines in Tennessee changed her vote to the Republican candidate.

In our poll of battleground state voters, 60% said it should be congress' TOP or HIGH priority to investigate Musk and hold him accountable. The people pulling the strings are the voters, dude.

Not just the fastest, or the cheapest, or the best, but the *only* possible solution to climate change is a rapid global buildout of clean energy infrastructure. If you're standing in the way of that, you're not working on climate change & should be honest with yourself about your priorities.

MTG out here saying the quiet part out loud... I approve this message.

Yikes! Look at that Community Note!

Ten years ago today. In just the last few days: Trump made a deal for the U.S. to buy Russian diesel, an economic lifeline for Putin; he and Elon Musk blamed each other for an order that slowed down Starlink satellite connectivity over Ukraine...

Speak Truth...

Thank you for making No Kings Day the single largest early vote activation in American history! This is how we will stop Trump’s election sabotage.

“The internet is a store but it used to be a library” hits me like a slug to the chest

Remember this. We are weaker now. “Trump has groomed us.” Try to hold and speak and advocate what you know is right and true. We’ve already moved so far. Don’t change your standards to accommodate their shameless incompetence & cruelty.

In all 50 states and around the world, people took to the streets today with one message: No Kings. Next up, we're going to protect the election and enforce the results. Because democracy is worth defending, and We the People are ready. RSVP to learn more: http://bit.ly/whatsn.... #NoKings ❌👑

Heartfelt appreciation to every patriotic person in this country who stood up against the monarchs and the oligarchs and the fascists today. They're flailing and failing, and we're organizing and rising. We will win. ❌👑

When JFK ran, they said the country would never elect a Catholic president. When Obama ran, they said the country would never elect a Black president. Michiganders care a lot less about how I pray than what I pray for: peace, dignity, basic goodness for all of our kids.

Democrats need to be ready to hold hearings and inquiries into the assault that Musk, Zuckerberg and other tech bros are making against democratic institutions at home and abroad.

No corporation is gonna silence our message! ❌👑 Keep helping us amplify #NoKings today so we can drive HISTORIC early vote turnout, and overcome Trump’s election sabotage.

Update: without explanation, and after being suspended for more than an hour during peak mobilization time, Zuckerberg's Instagram restored the No Kings account but we still lack admin access. More to come. Rest assured we will not stop organizing against this regime and its collaborators.

In early 2025, I assumed the Trump regime would delete the Department of Justice’s press releases and other statements related to more than 1,000 Jan. 6 cases. So I downloaded them. We’ve now made them available to the public with a search tool. They can’t erase history. jan6memoryproject.org
