“There’s the America I know and love—and then there’s Trump’s America. I will keep looking for signs of opposition, from wherever in the world there are pro-democracy humans who see and reject what’s happening here.” www.americaamerica.news/p/rooting-ag...

Hockey fan here. Red blooded American. Last night I was rooting for Canada. I almost never revert to this old cliche, but.... THIS IS A MUST READ.

And now, Trump has fired her without cause. Loyalty is no longer a safety net for these folks. hyperallergic.com/964484/us-ar...

A true hero!

Madison Cawthorn revealed GOP drug-fueled orgies Matt Gaetz showed orgy pictures on House floor Marjorie Taylor Greene threatened to name names Now - GOP reps were sexually propositioning Cassidy Hutchinson WTF is up with the GOP in Congress?! Disgusting - vote them all OUT

Pin this, save it, we’ll need it. “When a prison camp opens in your town…when a DREAMer is disappeared from your classroom…when the President destroys what’s left of the Constitution…They will all say they didn’t know this was coming. And I want the American people to know that they did.” AOC 🔥🎯

4 1/2 minutes worth your time. Thank you @hcrichardson.bsky.social open.spotify.com/episode/0IvV...

I cannot tell you how absolutely beautiful this piece is and how we must all read it through and share it. Thank you @stevenbeschloss.bsky.social “This is not a time for silence. This is not a time for resignation or despair. This is not a time to be cynical and insist that it’s all over. 1/4

Obama Inauguration 2009. This is why Trump’s going inside.

Republican Congresswoman Lori Chavez-DeRemer was found in an assisted living facility after being reported missing, raising concerns among colleagues and constituents.

Feels like this is a good time to repost this essay about the choices I've made. "All corners of public life are showing gradual signs of accommodating Trump. Some of the voices most critical of him three weeks ago have grown more measured. Others have gone silent."

For anyone, like me, looking for a way to fight Trumpism I suggest you read “Building the Opposition” by Marc Elias @marcelias.bsky.social It is well worth your attention. The time to do something is now.

The resistance after 2016 was a success. But we need something bigger and more durable this time. We need an opposition built for the long term. We need to stop being tired and ignore the cynics. I can promise you, my team and I will be in the fight. If we all do our part we will win!
