@Lana

You give me a touch of hope.

I have to see the anti-Trans moves countered though. Fully, loudly, irresistibly and Gavin Newsome kinda wrecked my Hope's there.

@Lana And you should see the shelves in Canada right now. The LCBO (provincial liquor store) has been completely reconfigured so that there's no American product anywhere. It's like the USA doesn't market any alcohol.

Grocery stores have full shelves of American products and produce that no one's touching, and anything Canadian or European is selling like crazy. It's an unreal retail experience. Unreal. #Never51 #ElbowsUp

@Lana Thank you for encouraging us! I've been feeling so ineffectual. I'm working two jobs, then doing a school pickup and babysitting. So I can't go out to protests, or take any other similar action. All I can do is just writing and phoning representatives who don't respond. I feel like I'm useless.

If we feel this worn out after a couple of months, how do we keep going for years and years, and still get through our daily regular lives? People yelling that I'm not doing nearly enough, and others yelling that nothing I do will have any effect anyway, are breaking me. People like you, saying "Steady on, what you're doing is helping, just hold on and keep doing it," that's the kind of thing that puts a second wind into us, enough to keep going a bit more, then a bit more.

@Lana

If only the Democrats in the Senate took your words to heart instead of caving!

@Lana We need to show up for Federal Workers with a general strike, which will shut down this shit real fast. Read up on the hashtag #GeneralStrike, and this toot about a general strike getting the goods

@Lana
I heard on a podcast that a judge ruled that DOGE is required to answer FOIA requests. I may request all the information they have collected about me from other agencies.

They may not comply, but maybe they'll be forced to spend time dealing with it.

@Lana not to forget:
You are not alone in the world either.

I've canceled my Amazon prime account to join the boycott.
Also I'm encouraging people to end their dependency on oligarch/techbro based systems.

Many people are doing the same.

Let us stand up against oligarchs wherever they try to manipulate and exploit us!

Here is a guide (in german) that i share with people:

@Lana Where did you see that Target and Walmart are rolling back on the anti-DEI positions? I’m seeing that they are seeing stock price impacts, but not where they are reconsidering.

If a bar lets
Nazis in,
It’s a Nazi Bar

@Lana And for trust and respect of the rest of the world. The damage Trump is doing will be hard to be undone, but your effort helps to minimize it.

Love from Germany.

@Lana (Foreword: I hate Elon and all that he touches.)

I'd love 1. to be unquestionably true, but for now the Tesla stock has just gone back to where it was before the elections (and it had been wiggling around that trend for roughly two years). The anomaly might be the surge between Nov. and now: we'll have to see if it keeps tanking to draw those juicy conclusions.

But yes, keep up the fight, Americans. The mistake from November can't be undone, but resistance certainly can make it go from apocalyptic to just really bad.

@Lana

Remember that this administration came to power with the support of less than one third of the American voting population.

More than two thirds either voted differently, didn't vote or had their ballots disqualified.

The world is watching and every day brings another jaw dropping fiasco.

You are making a difference. This insanity can only last for so long. Keep the pressure on.

And on a similar note:
