You know? I still find it remarkably easy to remain patriotic throughout this administration. Trump and the MAGA crowd are a repudiation of every single civic ideal that the United States is meant to represent—and I see no reason to stop believing in those ideals because of them.

One nice thing about being a free person, or the operator of a free press, is you don’t have to consult—much less “obey”—a goddam book of presidential proclamations to learn what words, geographic or otherwise, are permissible to use. Any government encroachment on that freedom ought to be fought.

Under fascism, no one is safe. Universities stayed quiet as the admin targeted DEI & foreign aid, censored research, etc. Now, they face devastating cuts to indirect cost rates, threatening research & operations. Silence won’t protect institutions. It won’t protect people; it never does.

Every single Democratic Senator agreed to unanimous consent to allow the confirmation of this dangerous, autocratic nominee. Bondi will weaponize the DOJ. It’s a five alarm fire. And Democrats allowed it. Many of them went to a protest today at Treasury and lied about doing everything they could.

We passed a law. They don’t get to force people to petition the king for mercy. We are still a democracy and this will be found illegal.

I don’t know what to do other than shout “please recognize that impoundment is a constitutional crisis” through every platform I have and hope that Dems and media actually react instead of treating it as just another funny little Trump thing

The countless small choices made every day inside newsrooms to do things like describe clear violations of the black-letter text of the law as "legally murky" add up to a very meaningful part of what's happened since 2017 and will continue to happen for the next four years.
