It's really this simple. When you have a fascist coup, resigning to show your moral fortitude doesn't matter. It's walking away from the bully with the gun that will simply shoot you in the back and replace you. Stay and fight! If you believe in your almost 250 year old revolution, STAY AND FIGHT!

Spineless Republicans are quietly panicking as Trump and Musk gut the federal workforce, firing veterans and pandemic response teams. Publicly, they cheer. Privately, they beg the White House for scraps of influence. 1/2

“Zelensky survived a dozen Russian assassination attempts including a special forces assault on his presidential complex.He stood up to Trump. I’m sure he’ll be deeply impressed to learn our Congressional Republicans live as terrified hostages of their own party leader.” ~ @michaeldweiss.bsky.social

This is, in no uncertain terms, a rout. The New York Times published an unfortunate op-ed trying to legally justify Trump administration's #Birthright citizenship order. Here, five leading scholars show, with analytic precision, how that op-ed was "fundamentally flawed and irresponsible."⬇️

If Patel’s confirmation scares you and you’re worried about the FBI being used to wage war and terrorize American citizens, just ask Black people for advice, they’ve been dealing with it for decades

The abrupt firing of ATF Chief Counsel Hicks is chilling. ATF has historically been under-resourced, and we pay the price in our safety. Now, with Hicks removed from the agency charged with overseeing the gun industry, we are all at greater risk of gun violence.

Here in Illinois, ten years ago we saw the consequences of a rampant ideological gutting of government. It genuinely harmed people. Our citizens hated it. Trust me – I was elected based in part on just how much they hated it.

Just when you think Donald Trump cannot sink lower or be more shameful, today he's blaming Ukraine for the war and calling Zelinsky a dictator, when he knows perfectly well that Putin's constant re-elections are put-up jobs.
