Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

In a functioning system, Trump would have been chained up immediately after he incited a coup. He would have been dealt with like a traitor and a terrorist. But we didn't have a functioning system. And that's why we can't just hope to go back, we have to reimagine something better.

I feel so sick. Enough with the lies, enough with the games. They know exactly what they're doing. This is a neo-Nazi movement. Proudly so. The only reason they've kept it coded up until now was to take advantage of those who didn't want to believe it. No more looking away. Face up to what it is.

The President is again defying court orders via executive action. This is a full-blown constitutional crisis that will have a disastrous impact on universities, the people who staff them, the life-saving research they do, and local economies across the US. www.thetransmitter.org/funding/fede...
