They are obviously slow learners

Anne Applebaum does good work based on real-world experience with autocracy and corruption, particularly in Russia and Hungary. She knows her stuff.

I watched 2 videos this a.m. Chris Murphy and Cliff Cash. Both say the same. I'm all in. Next sign: SHUT THE ENTIRE CORRUPT OPERATION DOWN NOW Murphy: www.youtube.com/watch?v=7aDb... Cash: www.youtube.com/watch?v=p02d...

3b. This creates a permission structure, a foundation of support, for them to do what they should do for democracy. Some R Congresspeople are not on board with T****, but they do not feel safe speaking against him yet. WE have the power to make them feel safe enough.

3a. Contact all Senators, even the ones that support R, with messages of support for shutting T**** down, along with his entire cabinet.

Action items: 1. Go to DC on the 19th if you can. 2. Flood social media and use their hashtags: Trump2024 Project2025 TrumpTrain MAGA GoElon

IMPORTANT! LISTEN! Democracies collapse "when gradually, often quietly and methodically, over time, the structures that hold the Executive accountable--for corruption, for thievery, and for wrongdoing--are dismantled, so that citizens can no longer hold the Executive accountable."

Gotta correct the media again on something. The administration is not sending migrants to a mega prison in El Salvador. They’re sending human beings to a concentration camp.

This is Utah in case anyone’s wondering how pissed off people are. I have never seen anything like this.

Thank you Senator Cory Booker. This guy truly cares about the people he represents.

Booker: Strom Thurmond’s record always kind of just really irked me. That the longest speech on our great Senate floor was from someone who was trying to stop people like me from being in the Senate. So to surpass that became more important to me.

We deserved some good news!

Thank you, Senator Booker. America is so proud of you.

"This is our moral moment. This is when the most precious ideals of our country are being tested. This is our moment. Generations get them." -Cory Booker

Democrats vote to protect vets. And other precious people.

And yet Joe Rogan puts guests on who say "Vaccines aren't actually responsible for the reduction in infectious diseases.”

An excellent emendation to Paul, Weiss’s Wikipedia page. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul,_W...

Give me it. ❤️

I'm concerned about the potential for provacateurs encouraging violence at our demonstrations--I can even imagine them behaving as both instigators and pretending to be Dems/progs/lefts responding. Advice I've seen is to LAY DOWN at the start of any violence.

The water is rising. We are the flood, and it's time to rise.

Pete Hegseth must resign or be fired immediately.

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.

Fascism feeds on fear. - Cliff Cash

Wow! Fascinating and beautiful town hall in Iowa, with Senator Grassley. Iowans represent for democracy!

Have you seen this in mainstream media?

How-to for nonviolent resistance.

UNYIELDING RESISTANCE. UNWAVERING UNITY. These economic blackouts are a very important option for us. It will be very dangerous to let those in power define the terms of engagement.

We know who he is…

I would support this! We need to primary the dinosaurs.

They literally just told everyone in the dept of education to not come to work!!! They are already doing this!!!
