Yup. And there's no button that Trump (or Musk) can push that would move from free and fair elections to Putin-style; they'll have to fight for it, in some cases state by state, county by county. Which means people can fight back. Things are likely to get worse, but how much worse is up for grabs.

I’m working on how to communicate with folks who aren’t fully MAGA about what is happening in a way they might understand. It may not fully change their mind but it might help them see things a little more accurately going forward. Help! Any resources or suggestions?

I’m afraid so

Oh look. While we’ve been jerking off to chatbots, China is becoming the leader in green tech.

Did anyone attend April McClean Delaney’s town hall meeting last night? What was it like?

Mapquest — the OG represents!

I think about this several times a day. Is there any part of the way the House or the Senate is acting right now that makes you think they’re worried about midterms?

Maryland people: Sens. Van Hollen and Alsobrooks are having a phone-in town hall "to answer your questions and provide an update on Trump/Musk's illegal actions and our efforts to fight back and protect our federal employees" at 7:30pm on Wed. the 12th. outreach.senate.gov/iqextranet/E...

friendly reminder that the best case scenario over the coming years is that a lot of people say "I supported Trump but this isn't what I wanted at all" and when they do that it's gonna be really, really important that we say "welcome in," not "fuck you, we told you so"

This what they want. I don’t know if folks will understand how serious this is.

Contact your congresspersons — especially Republicans!!

No more excuses.

I’ve been assured these costs will be borne by Colombians.

Federal workers! Know your rights. Call tomorrow w Democracy Forward.

The Democratic Party is not ready.

For the umpteenth time - history matters. Read Heather. “January 25, 2025, marks eighty years since the end of the Battle of the Bulge.” heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/january-24...

Now that Trump fired 17 Inspectors General, can we dispense with the notion that DOGE [sic] is about government efficiency? Trump just told us -- he doesn't WANT efficiency, he wants graft.

It is with vulnerability, but not too much, that we will succeed.

I like this tactic to avoid seeing the face.

I’ve created a Starter Pack for people in & interested in Frederick, MD. Check it out. Share it. Let me know who to add. go.bsky.app/99XoxoW

Agree 100%. WTF — elected democrats!?! We need to figure out how to push them.

AOC: I don’t care what Elon Musk is doing behind the presidential seal, but in this country we hate Nazis. Kind of like a foundational defining thing. Two of the foundational things about American history is that we beat the confederates and we beat the Nazis.

Yes. AOC is the Boss as far as I’m concerned.

Lots of bots joining us here in the Blue Skies.

Here we are.

Not everyone can fight Trumpism and Trumpists directly. But remember this: kindness, decency, and fidelity to American values are defiance in the face of Trumpism. So be kind, decent, and faithful, particularly to the many kinds of people despised and attacked by Trumpists. That’s revolutionary./1

What a great product is the NFL! I honestly don’t know who I want to win next week.

This is the very specific thought/feeling I have about a lot of the I’ve met who call themselves independent.

Our information environment is not good.

It’s the people. People power. People will help people. Unrelated: People may be a perfect word.
