Tonight, as you hold me I wonder how I ever felt any pain from you

Me , after Midnight

This website lets you easily generate letters that you can customize to elected officials (built by one of the many genius engineers that work at Google - it was a personal project). You will find a handful of pre-addressed templates on topics like voting rights or the ACA and are able to customize them based on your opinions. Then mail them to your elected officials and have your voice heard!! Each week the site will be adding and improving templates. IT IS INCREDIBLE RESOURCE.

From a comrade:

“The Nazis have placed a literal bounty on the guy who punched neo-Nazi Richard Spencer. If you know this guy, tell him to stay quiet, and keep your own mouth shut. They will murder him.”

Don’t be a snitch, y'all. These are dire times.

 CALL - (can do at any hour) Paul Ryan’s office is taking a phone poll on Obamacare. Here is the number: 202-225-3500. Press 2 for a recording, then press 1 for support of Obamacare. I called just now. Very easy.

I don���t know about you, but I cannot focus on a single thing except the nightmare that unfolded yesterday, the resilience of lawyers and protesters who jolted into action at airports nationwide, and the sheer terror of knowing this is only the beginning. 

Instead of a usual morning post, here are some links that might be helpful if your head is spinning today like mine is. 

Here is a link to the Resistance Manual, a regularly updated action plan for resisting Trump’s America and maintaining our liberty and humanity in the face of a racist dictator. The image above is the homepage; I’m not posting content from the issue pages because it’s changing so quickly and I don’t want to circulate false information. 

Here is the page specifically about the Muslim ban/registry, including what you can do.  

Here is a thread of #NoMuslimBan demonstrations taking place today (Sunday, 1/29) across the country.

Here is a thread listing people who are or were matching donations to the ACLU (Sia, Rosie, Jack Antonoff and many others). 

Here is the ACLU’s Twitter, where you’re going to get real-time updates and calls for action (whether it’s asking for donations, legal support, or presence at protests).

Feel free to reblog and add your own.

January is smaller than she’s ever been. Just a small golden light in my peripheral. My head is wrapped in cotton, but then there’s the sun, telling me I can’t sit another year out. My ghosts are dead so I’m going into this clear-eyed and weightless. January comes with the hope for sugar and syrup, no more of the watered down spoonfuls I’ve gotten the past eight months. As the heat settles in, I wait to see if this means I’ll bloom or curdle this year. January brings my insides to the edge of my skin, braces them to jump. It’s been so long since I’ve known solid ground. January is just a blurry figment right now, static on the television. A ringing in my ears. The countdown starts and the sky lights up. January pitches her voice over the noise: last year’s ghosts are dead, that’s reason enough to celebrate.

JANUARY IS AN OPTIMIST, angelea l. (via wildfairy)

I always break. Things we'll never take. A way for the pain to make mistakes. Again and again I'm my only friend. That lie was great.
