One thing Democratic leadership could do right now is to name an alternate HHS secretary--someone to provide ongoing public updates and health information. And do it for other departments too. Start showing voters what a Democratic government would look like--press conferences, speeches, all of it.

I got mad at the New York Times after their editorial board released an opinion piece condemning Trump's anti-trans EOs and I decided to write about how the paper of record laundered transphobia into the mainstream and paved the road for Trump's transphobia. www.patreon.com/posts/nyt-ed...

As we head into the final week before the inevitable onslaught of horrifying executive orders, please take a minute to think about what you can do for people who will be directly impacted by those orders in your life. Ask yourself what you will do to support just one specific person. Then scale up.
