We must “understand the violations, confront the desecrations, hold firm to our values and principles, and refuse to be broken by a cruel regime comprised of obedient oligarchs and miscreants driven by hostility & vengeance. This is a time for moral clarity.” www.americaamerica.news/p/a-time-for...

Did you know? There’s a directory of Black farmers: “The Black Farmers Index.” Buy and uplift local. Many are small-scale specialists and located in urban areas. I found an organic resource in my area that I will definitely check out.

A strong, independent media is essential in a free society. However, the oligarch controlled media is not going to protect us. The billionaires sitting on stage with Trump are not victims. They will profit from his lies and cannot be trusted to safeguard democracy.

Having an anti-vax person in charge of public health is pretty terrible. On the pod, I asked former senior HHS official Stephanie Psaki what she fears could hit us in the next few years, and the answer was very harrowing. Read these four screen caps and tremble:

Nobody ever tells me what I can and can’t write, which is why independent media is surging and media controlled by billionaire oligarchs is not. My success or failure is determined by the readers, not by a guy circling the globe in an obscene yacht.

Elon Musk and his 19-year-olds have now disrupted the approval of medical devices that save lives. Every member of Congress bears a responsibility to stop this right now.

Something is shifting. They are still breaking things and stealing things. And they will keep trying to break and to steal. But the propaganda magic around the oligarchical coup is fading. (1/2)

One way to commemorate the end of the third year of Russia’s senseless, criminal war against Ukraine is to read the work of Ukrainians about it. Vika did not live to see the publication of this book, since she was killed by a Russian missile. But we can see her in her words.

Monday morning is a good time to remind you all that most of us don't work for Elon Musk. So, unless you're getting a paycheck signed by this asshole, you don't have to do what he says. If you are, it's because you WANT to.

Key point from @leahgreenberg.bsky.social: She says Indivisible organizers are encountering lots of voters who are looking for a way to have an impact. That suggests there's energy out there that remains unchanneled. Dems can step up here. Our exchange on this: newrepublic.com/article/1918...

I will use every tool at my disposal to protect this country from Trump. I will litigate to defend voting rights until there are no cases left to bring. I will speak out against authoritarianism until my last breath. I will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

I'm about to drop a piece at The Atlantic on this Pentagon purge. As I warned, Trump is capturing Justice, Intelligence, the military. This is praetorianism, pure and simple.

Send Dems into rural America to talk about what Trump is doing. The Republicans are too scared and won’t show their faces…in the vacuum of messaging, there is power. Tell the folks who is hurting them. Point to the GOP. Be the foil to the shit that’s happening. Be the party of the people.

One thing has gone largely undiscussed re: Trump's Executive Branch power grab. Namely, no one would seek to place so much power in the hands of the president -- over legal interpretation, budget decisions, staffing, etc -- if they worried about EVER losing again. So they must know something...A 🧵..

The reason Musk's fake DOGE savings keep imploding is that the whole MAGA mythology about the "deep state" is fraudulent. Time to stop humoring Musk's pretense that this is about "waste and fraud."
