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.

The six factions dismantling democracy—but they don’t share the same endgame. Some are pawns. Some hold real power. If we don’t recognize this now, we won’t be able to stop it. #Democracy #NRx #Project2025 #Resistance

Today’s book: “Up, Up, Ever Up! Junko Tabei: A Life in the Mountains”, written by Anita Yasuda and illustrated by Yuko Shimizu @yukoart.bsky.social. A great reminder that your struggles today can impact and inspire generations to come. #PictureBook #Women #Japan #Everest

Democrats can’t sustain this kind of rhetoric without action. At the federal level they need to hold a 24-7 vigil at the Capitol until the coup ends. At the state level they could seize federal assets until court orders are being followed. We’re already outside the regular constitutional order.

Jamie Raskin: "Given that I was marching at age 3, you know I’m not letting any coup-plotting, election-denying, insurrection-supplying autocrat, kleptocracy, plutocrat or theocrat, or any techno-feudalist Silicon Valley broligarchs aspiring dictator, turn me around now.” Amen!!

Feature on THE INVISIBLE PARADE, the new picture book from Leigh Bardugo & me, in Sunday’s San Antonio Express-News. Many have asked where to best preorder. My preferred is Barnes & Noble, but that list will definitely expand as release approaches. #Booksky www.expressnews.com/lifestyle/ar...

If you think this artwork looks sensational (it does) but can't find the combo of wall space to exhibit and $$ to acquire, might I recommend the 'La Calavera' mask/neck gaiter?
