Wondering what @karaswisher.bsky.social thinks of this reasoning.

@wyden.senate.gov

Go. To. The. Treasury. And. Demand. Entry. You are the ranking member on the Senate Finance Committee.

Yeah, seems about right. Maybe FOTUS will slap a tariff on it.

Senate needs to respond to mass firings of Jan 6 attack prosecutors by rejecting Trump nominees. Have a spine and stand up to this autocratic effort to rewrite history and embolden political violence. Block Bondi and Patel.

Betting the "presidential library" is in his house.

Best line from a podcast I’ve heard in a podcast for a while: “Just when you think it can’t get any weirder, a man shows up with a goat’s head in a bag.” Nice, Otherworld. Nice.

So, so stupid.

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.” Diary of Anne Frank January 13, 1943

More like dead women walking, I'm afraid.

The only thing standing between America and a Republican national abortion ban will be the filibuster. It’s a dead man walking.

We're going to make it through this 🩷💙 Let's turn our fear and rage into community action.

Historian of fascism here. It was a Nazi salute and a very belligerent one too.

I studied the Nazis at university, taught the history of Nazi Germany on two continents and wrote for major newspapers about Nazi Germany. I am internet famous for fact- checking chuds on the history, ideology and policy of Nazi Germany. That was a Nazi salute.

Believe it or not, emailing/faxing your representatives to say "I am deeply unhappy about this for the following reasons" gives them ammunition to use on the floor. They quote constituent letters all the time. It won't do squat if he declares martial law + shreds the constitution but here we are

It was a Nazi salute. Don't let anyone tell you it wasn't.

Shout out to everyone wondering if the tightness in their chest right now is a heart attack or simply the suffocating weight of existential dread

Please read this very excellent thread by one of the smartest folks i have met in social @dwillner.bsky.social over these many years.

Does anyone remember these? I do on some but not all.

I don't know who needs to know this, but Pro Publica has an online thing that will format a letter to your US health insurance company to demand the records behind a claim denial. (which the insurance is then legally required to provide in most cases) projects.propublica.org/claimfile/
