Smells like teen spirit…

Sunday wondering 🤔 Watching the “death by a thousand cuts” to our rule of law and democratic norms. ?- What really bad thing that has to happen before those elected to uphold the Constitution stand up to this coup? ?- At this rate, will there be another election in 2 years? ?- Who will run it?

A little history to start the weekend: www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Friendly reminder: it has always been about Russia. They put him here and it is time for their payback. Russia has been playing chess with america’s orange pawn, and they are at “check” with our presidency.

Setting the record straight on who started the war.

At the Bush Presidential Library to celebrate the constitutional presidency before it is a relic of our past. Two items from the “Protecting Freedom” exhibit - showing the history of the Magna Carta to democracy. Next year, they will need to add the “You’re in the US” placard.

Elon Musk posted these two tweets the same day, just hours apart. Don’t sugarcoat it — he’s not just a far-right authoritarian, he’s an outright fascist. Musk isn’t even trying to hide his true intentions at this point. STOP MAKING EXCUSES FOR HIM.

Anyone else think the only reason Trump is going to Super Bowl is to get in Taylor’s face? Yes, he is that immature and insecure.

I appreciate Senator Angus King’s attempt to frame the impact of what is at stake. Are these elected reps ignorant or simply complicit? You do not know what you’ve got ‘til it’s gone. x.com/senangusking...

Where are the legal challenges to these now daily requests for federal workers to resign or be fired? www.nytimes.com/2025/01/30/u...

You may find that the world is actually quite intelligent when you do not focus on the shiny objects. Stay curious.

@abbesparks.bsky.social following you 🥳

Suggested coordinated action: Take 2 hours this week to file Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests with the DOJ, FBI and CIA for all January 6, 2021 records. There may be a better way to frame the request … simply trying to highlight that they are currently deleting and erasing the records.

Who knew that Greta Gerwig’s “Barbie” would predict 2025?

They seem to think of the Constitution as an app they can opt out of using.

I will miss this person . . . a leader among the amazing people who served our democracy in this administration. I do not think we have ever had a harder-working Secretary of State then Antony Blinken. Thank you for your service.

Happy “Day of Love” (to the cult members who celebrate.)

Sunday wonder: Patriots fire coach for winning a game … (it is not about the game on the field - but the meta-game of positioning for draft pick?) Science questioning if insects have feelings (while we struggle to find compassion for the neighbors sleeping in their cars) . . . What’s going on?

Cheers to Paul Krugman’s good run at the Times and for clear-sighted delivery of the economics of an era.

The return of the politics of putting people in their place.

Good reading recommendations from KCM to nourish your holidaze ♥️

How much butter have y’all gone through in your meal prep today? I am way past the pound milestone…
