DC, here's what we're gonna do — in the wake of Trump’s announcement that he is taking control of MPD and deploying the National Guard.

Earlier today Donald Trump announced that he is requesting MPD to redirect resources, and plans to deploy the National Guard to DC.

This is a dangerous escalation for our communities. Here's what how everyone in DC can help our communities weather what's ahead. 🧵

Just talked to my mom. She seemed to think we were just meeting and asked me what we should call each other. #Alzheimers is a terrible disease. #Funding #medicaid and #research isn't waste, fraud, or socialism. It's caring for one another. This could happen to any of us and will to far too many.

The Logic of Destruction And how to resist it

It's critical for everyone to remember what an Executive Order is. It is the President communicating orders to members of the executive branch. Policies to pursue, actions to take, etc. They are not laws. They are not close to being laws. They are formalized memos to employees. That's all.

In DC and all over the country.

Gutting Alzheimer's research.

First reported more than a week ago -- and as yet, this has not been undone. Republicans appear to have not said a word about it.

This coming Monday there are protests around the country for presidents day. You can look up the one closest to you on this site. These are organized by 50501 and legit. The DC protest is anticipated to be too big for its original location and has been relocated to the Capitol reflecting pool.

You have questions. Mostly of the "What Can I Do to Resist This Coup?" variety. Choose Democracy has answers. Here's a really handy guide to the how/what/why of organizing... Share widely. Link here: choosedemocracy.us/what-can-i-do/

i am going to put a finer point on this: executive orders are not laws. and they certainly are not royal decrees. they are interpretations of existing law for the purposes of enforcement. the fact that so many people are treating them as laws is actually driving me a bit insane.

Elon is not my president! Protest Feb17 @11am at YOUR capital! President's Day 2025

February 17th, 2025, we will unite for the "No Kings on Our President’s Day" of action, and we need YOU to be there.

We MUST STOP THIS SHIT! STAND UP BEFORE YOU LOSE ALL YOUR RIGHTS!

The Nature of Our Power: A Conversation with political scientist Erica Chenoweth By Rebecca Solnit • 8 Feb 2025 View in browser "The best study on the subject in my opinion suggests that in the long term, institutions really can’t save us; that civil society and mass mobilization are a more potent check on a backsliding democracy in the long term than relying on institutional checks and balances alone." That's what political scientist Erica Chenoweth told me when I asked them if we could have a conversation (by email, below in full) about the current constitutional crisis/coup attempt and what we can do about it. Chenoweth is a hugely influential scholar of nonviolent social change, best known for their empirical research that not only documents what makes civil resistance work but demonstrates that it works, often extremely effectively. They direct the Nonviolent Action Lab, which studies how people have built movements and developed strategies to resist authoritarianism successfully and documents how nonviolence can be effective. There's no one I wanted to hear from more in this constitutional crisis, and I'm grateful I can share their insights with all of you.

The AP must refuse this but more importantly the rest of the White House Correspondents Association should back them.

Boycott the press briefings until they relent, and if they refuse, walk out. There is no real use to them in any case.

Trump craves attention. Deny him that and he’ll cave.

All the poems I've had to write to write the poems I've yet to write.

So good to walk with you and talk poetry and other things too.

I just called my members of Congress to object -- STRONGLY -- to the halt on federal funding.

It's really easy, folks.

Call your members of Congress.
FLOOD them with a response.
