This point, from my old Obama DOJ colleague @joycewhitevance.bsky.social , is also spot-on and consistent with my newsletter post earlier today (though much pithier than what I wrote!). open.substack.com/pub/joycevan... - ThreadSky

I hate to be thick....but what can I/ WE do?? I make phone calls. Sign petitions. Donate (but not to moronic texts like "are you a republican now?!" or "do you approve of biden's policies"). Go to protests. We are horrified and impotent. Where is our voice! What do we DO!!!

You keep making phone calls, writing letters, boycotting, and any other things you're capable of doing. Every little thing to get heard. That is our voice. 💙💙

Vote with our wallets and attention!! Be strategic about how we use our limited, precious energy each day. To overcome this swamp from drowning us, focus on the things we CAN do; Temper our fear and anger into effective collaborative actions/solutions. Pacing is crucial, this may take a while.

We are going to lose if the courts don’t speed up. Trump would have been behind bars if justice was swift.

You are the pithy one, friend!

(wtf)Judge Tanya Chutkan in Washington, D.C., the Judge declined to shut down all DOGE operations in a hearing Friday. She acknowledged the states’ concerns about the “unpredictability” of Musk’s operation but indicated that entering a TRO against everything he is doing seemed too broad

tayjohno2000.bsky.social•7 days ago

Shutting down all DOGE operations does not kill anyone. Allowing operations to continue does. Best to rule broadly in this situation.

we WERE the cavalry before November. we didn’t show up

Dunno…at this stage of the unfolding American tragedy the Courts are looking critically important!

saltydon.bsky.social•7 days ago

That said, I absolutely agree with your (& Joyce’s) point that we all need to be doing whatever we can (notably contacting those in Congress…repeatedly!) to fight the MAGA rush toward plutocracy

soniachawla.bsky.social•7 days ago

Yes! It has been frustrating to be told by dems in Congress that they’re relying on litigation to stop Musk and Trump. It’s not just pressuring moderate republicans…Dems need to be pressured to act like a real opposition party instead of passing the buck to the courts.
