- Hello to the folks at @themainewire.bsky.social, who have been shocked and appalled to learn that this democratically-elected official is pro-democracy and anti-fascism. This is apparently so distressing that they had to post about it on X!

- Reposted by Cara PelletierOK, this is wild. In September 2023, geophysicists across the world started monitoring a very odd signal coming from the ground under them. It was picked up in the Arctic. And Antarctica. It was detected everywhere, every 90 seconds, as regular as a metronome, for *nine days*. What the HELL? 1/
- Still thinking about @maddow.msnbc.com ‘s brilliant show in Portland last night. Takeaway: it will not be one person doing one heroic thing that will save democracy. It will be all of us, doing every small thing we possibly can. But America has beat fascism before, and we know how to do it again.

- Reposted by Cara PelletierTHE PENTAGON BUDGET JUST HIT A TRILLION DOLLARS. Not a single pundit from either political party said “how are we going to pay for it?!” Don’t dare tell us we cannot ALL have healthcare, housing, and education.

- It finally happened. I put on a pair of glasses to help me find the glasses that were on my face.

- @weratedogs.com let me introduce you to Zero the disco king! Like lots of white dogs, he’s deaf - but he feels the music in his soul!
- Reposted by Cara PelletierI just think it’s funny that the president thinks making everything more expensive will be no big deal in a nation that exists because its ancestors overthrew their government rather than pay an extra tax on tea
- Me liking every single post about the Canadian election results! 🇨🇦🍁🇨🇦🍁🇨🇦🍁
- Every local and state elected official who opposes ICE should be alarmed at the wording of this EO.

- “The fact that I was not prepared to resist, in 1935, meant that…hundreds of thousands, like me in Germany were also unprepared, and each one of these hundreds of thousands was, like me, a man…of great potential influence. Thus the world was lost.” They Thought They Were Free: The Germans, 1933–45
- The last 90 seconds of my remarks from today’s rally in Bangor, Maine. This is our moment! Let’s say YES - we will show up and defend democracy!
- You know you’re at a protest in Bangor when… No Kings Except Angus and @stephenking.bsky.social
- “What Newman and Pulling did was simply to honor…their principles and to do the next right thing…even if no one ever knew. And once in a great while, someone will light a lantern—or even two—that will shine forth for democratic principles that are under siege, and set the world ablaze.”
- One if by land… Tonight I’m thinking of my great great great great grandfather Benjamin Hartwell, from Littleton, MA who served as a private in Col. James Prescott’s regiment of Minute Men and marched on the alarm of April 19, 1775. I’ve got revolutionary in my DNA and big shoes to fill.
