None of us can be sure what will “work.” You try multiple things and find your way in. Read some histories of the Civil Rights Movement by those who participated. They were never “sure” of what would work. Some campaigns fizzled out. But persistence, creativity, determination, and focus were key.

A newfound RESPECT for @maddow.msnbc.com for keeping it real about what’s going on at MSNBC and how she really feels about it. She didn’t have to say this, but I’m so glad she did. Take 2 minutes… (1 of 2)

She’s right. We need intense civic activity at the local and state level now more than ever. Run for office, vote, go to council meetings, closely vet judicial candidates, be a block captain. It all matters.

These U.S.-Russia talks about Ukraine smell like the 1938 Munich Pact. The UK and France "agreed to Hitler’s demands for Czechoslovakia to cede a portion of its territory known as the Sudetenland to Germany; in return, Hitler assured the Western Allies that he had no further territorial ambitions."

As a political scientist who studies countries that managed to stop the slide into authoritarianism, I can assure you that refraining from provoking the authoritarian is not how it works. Without further ado, I will now go tear out another chunk of hair.
