This is the way… “The elected officials in Washington have to stop protesting in Washington. They have to go back to their districts…show the consequences…show the school that isn’t operating…they have to make it real.” With social media, word will spread to neighboring districts—even red ones.

I know everything is chaotic, which makes it difficult to reflect, but I'd like to draw your attention to this from @jamellebouie.net. We're in a nation-defining constitutional crisis caused by the failure of the "liberal consensus," which has existed since the 1930s. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/05/o...

if the president can say “i don’t like the department of energy,” and within a week it’s closed, then the constitution means nothing, and the president’s entire claim to power is the loyalty of the military. either he is constrained by the constitution or he’s a dictator, there isn’t a middle ground

As I wrote in January, we should worry about the en-masse US retreat from multilateralism not just because it leaves a yawning gap in financing IOs, but because it will urge other gov'ts with similar impulses to follow suit. Not surprised by this 👇🏼

Notably, Wall Street is quiet, apparently preferring to keep favor with fascists than to raise the rather important objection that the world's richest person and his friends having early access to, and the ability to manipulate, U.S. economic releases will be catastrophic to our financial markets.

I remain fascinated by the expanded child tax credit case study & the implications for leftist policymaking. People received REAL financial benefit from it. It drastically cut child poverty rates and it was rescinded without a real fight. I think about this at least once a week.

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

If the FBI gets purged of almost all of its agents, they will be replaced. The current vetting process for agents is onerous. But that can be changed, and there’s really nothing stopping a director from handing every Jan. 6 pardonee, or any other yahoo, a badge and a gun (and TS clearance)

The Framers foresaw this problem and figured legislators' ambition, self-preservation, and self-respect would drive them to act against a tyrant. The Framers didn't expect a majority of Congress would be cowards and fools who cheered it like pigs celebrating the arrival of the butcher.

Idgaf I’m still fighting for guaranteed healthcare. Aspiration is the answer. Not just “we’re not the bad guys.” We need something more meaningful than that. I want a future worth fighting for. They have no vision. We do. Lean into our strengths and knock them out. 👊🏽
