#Resist

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.

Taking a break from the news to revisit some of my vinyl from the 1980s.

Home from a #NoKings event at a busy intersection. Great turnout for a small town and many drivers honking in support. So energizing!

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.

Excellent post about the latest school shooting.

Tells it like it is.

Corporate power. 😏

While MAGA popularity is at an all time low, American democracy is on its last breath. We know we can’t afford to wait until 2028 to turn things around, because by then it may be too late. Join us on October 17th. #NoKings share.indvs.org/s/Qkmf5X3v

Last night I attended a virtual screening of this film, hosted by Robert Hubbell and filmmaker Bobby Roth. Watch it! It is truly inspiring. www.lightworkersdoc.com

The dangers of artificial intelligence have become an enormous issue - yet the White House has been so passive that even the AI companies themselves are asking what it will take to get government to step up and establish safeguards.

1. Should a $1 billion company qualify as a "small business"? The Trump administration is proposing a radical change to how the government defines a small business. Not only would big companies get access to small business support. The change would be deeply harmful to actual small businesses.

Tell Congress: Stop Trump’s Yosemite Giveaway👇 Hands off our National Parks! Write a letter here: actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

A Trump donor gave nearly $2 million to his 2024 campaign fund. Months later, Trump pardoned him. That pardon spared prison & wiped out financial penalties. The No Payoffs For Pardons Act says what should be obvious: money can’t buy a get-out-of-jail-free card. #CostOfCorruption

Trump and corrupt Republicans know fear is cheaper than winning votes. Federal monitors. Threats around mail ballots. Talk of ICE at polls. Michigan knows this playbook. Black and Brown voters are organizing anyway. They want silence. Give them turnout. #CostOfCorruption

She had it right.

Another excellent post from Robert Hubbell. roberthubbell.substack.com/p/do-not-pan...

Question everything! Desperate people are spreading disinformation and misinformation in an attempt to influence the midterm elections. Read on. roberthubbell.substack.com/p/resistance...

Recognizing that "this is what democracy looks like." Excellent. youtu.be/C0gTV5pxES4?...

They think power comes from fear and violence. We know better. Real power comes from solidarity. From showing up for each other. From refusing to be divided. March 28. #NoKings2026

Right now, Congress is negotiating new commonsense guardrails for ICE in the Department of Homeland Security budget bill. We have a short window of time to tell them to block ICE from going into schools, hospitals, and places of worship. Write your representatives today!

I am sharing this article because I believe more people should know about this. We know where the Justice Department's priorities lie.

This is a few days old, but I like many of the ideas suggested, such as going after his billionaire supporters.

Brilliant.

Hey Jersey: @govmurphy.bsky.social has til Tuesday noon to sign the Immigrant Protection Package into law. He says he's still undecided. Please text 732 605 5455 or call 609 292 6000 (and wait thru the muzak). In my call, I invoked Murphy's friend Bruce Springsteen:

Add your ICE Out for Good event from this past weekend to the crowdsourced map!

Really?! These are our leaders? www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Excellent piece, well worth reading! www.whoshallrule.com/p/fighting-m...

We are outraged. Renee Nicole Good was murdered by ICE — we demand accountability! This weekend, we demand: ✅ Immediate investigation ✅ Transparency ✅ Justice This is not a moment — it’s a movement. #ICEOutForGood social.demcast.com/s/gM5X7q2a

AI needs fixing. They'd better “hop” to it!

Among the most important actions you can take in 2026, according to Robert Reich: “Make the upcoming 250th Anniversary of America about our duties to the Constitution and the world rather than loyalty to Trump or nativist bullshit.” Yes!

I'm not commenting on the snow this time.

Phrases that annoy me: "the new normal" (corporatespeak; if it's new, is it really normal??) and "chop house" (why would I want to eat there??) What phrases do you hate?

Trump says affordability is a “Democrat scam.” Bold words from a billionaire who’s never bought his own groceries. The reality check he needs? His economy is crushing working families. Affordability isn’t a scam — Trump is. #TrumpAffordabilityCrisis

Politico looks through the results in hundreds of New York State governments, and finds Dems flipped 50 seats — more than the 2017 blue wave. www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

The North Dakota Supreme Court reinstated a near-total abortion ban on Friday, reversing a judge’s earlier decision and making abortion once again illegal in the state.
