In case you had any illusions that Trump supporters - especially evangelical Christians - are reachable. They LOVE what's happening.

Caught the sunrise this morning from the balcony. Sad this was such a short trip, but it was really good to be in Playa del Carmen for a few days!

Look, I know it's tempting to check out, but in a few months we may no longer have a democracy, accessible vaccines, Medicaid, or legal work protections for anyone not white & male. Take breaks & don't wallow in the bad, but if we don't fight NOW we're going to lose a lot that we'll never get back.

Don't let them normalize this or act like it's OK to declare the president is king.

It takes a special kind of gall to ask for a free group performance for a "philanthropic event" when the event is charging $120+ per ticket, NONE of which is going to charity. The only actual charity seems to be that they're asking attendees to bring used clothing donations. 🙄

History buffs will know that every authoritarian leader eventually converges on some version of: "I *am* the state. I can not break the law, I am the law, the law is instantiated in me." Our march to authoritarianism so far has been excruciatingly by-the-book. Hitting every beat. No surprises.

“I am a king and my will is law” isn’t a clever distraction from what he’s doing, it’s the central underlying justification for everything he’s doing.

Calling yourself a king doesn’t make you a king. Getting guillotined after being convicted of high treason in a near-unanimous vote does.

This White House tweet was so unhinged I actually logged into Twitter (for the first time in months) to verify. It's real. x.com/WhiteHouse/s...

Spent most of the day at the condo pool. This break (and getting away from Chicago winter) is so needed!

In case you were wondering how it is on the other side, I am seeing posts from conservatives who are very happy that so many people have been fired from the federal government. "The government shouldn't have been doing those jobs anyway!"

This is true - the French wouldn't let this go. But also: 4/5 of the largest protests in US history happened during Trump 1.0. 50 MILLION people joined the George Floyd marches. What did we get? Most US police depts got MORE funding in the years after.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has returned $21 billion (with a b!) to consumers from corporate fraud and abuse. Do the math on why the oligarchs want to kill it.

Current status. 😎 (We have acquired a mango daiquiri and thrown ourselves in the massive pool. 🙌)
