Rep Kevin Hern—scared to say anything against Trump. The obvious—if Zelenskyy were a dictator, Trump would love him like he loves Putin. Glad to see folks in Oklahoma calling him out. Even small town halls matter right now. Don’t let them off the hook. Keep calling, emailing, and confronting them.

How much is Congress cutting from their $6.5 billion/year budget? Don’t you think congress can operate on say, maybe, $5 Billion? And each congressman has 18 staff, they could operate on say, 14? What about the White House?

Hey when dealing with Nazi disinformation, remember that repeating it only cements it in people’s heads, even if you actively debunk it. RFK: antivax brainworm word salad! You: RFK is pro mass death. Don’t repeat any of their messaging even to prove it wrong.

Survivors of physical, emotional and/or sexual abuse at the hands of a narcissist have been triggered, traumatized and hyper vigilant since 2016. Bad memories and negative emotions have resurfaced. Fight or flight mode has frazzled our central nervous system. This feels very up close and personal.

Thinking about John R. Lynch for #BlackHistoryMonth Lynch's The Facts of Reconstruction (1913) was written from personal experience. A #resisters on the verge of giving up should know that in 1880 he was elected again and had to battle for 2 years before racist Democrats allowed him to be seated.

Thinking about Alrutheus Ambush Taylor for #BlackHistoryMonth On top of having an awesome name, Taylor was among the first historians, using the same methodology, to challenge the racist "Dunning School" interpretation of the failures of Reconstruction.

John W. Blassingame for #BlackHistoryMonth today. Before Blassingame, historians rarely used testimony of former slaves in their examinations of slavery, which is a bit like ignoring the patient when studying disease. His book _The Slave Community_ was a watershed of US history. buff.ly/4gwoXNN

The only way I've kept sane about the resurgent white supremacy this week is to read and think about historical white supremacy and it's critics.

The good news? I no longer think we're going to last 4 years. He is clearly aiming to harm just about everyone. Every institution, govt research, schools, farms, hospitals. He's his own COVID-19. A threat to everyone. Either he will snap. Or we will snap. But this isn't sustainable for 4 years.

I've been making blithe jokes about this but 2% is pretty crazy tbh. But at 100 meters wide, it's not an extinguish-all-life type deal. They estimate only about a million people would die. uk.news.yahoo.com/asteroid-hit...

If you're going to complain about Dems this or Dems that while the GOP is eliminating Democracy through its elected majorities, how's about you offer up a constructive solution or two instead of just scapegoating Dems because you need to fight back & they're handy? Except Fetterman, who deserves it.

Thinking about William Cooper Nell for #BlackHistoryMonth today. Nell was a renowned historian even before the professionalization of the discipline. An anti-slavery warrior, Nell's _The Colored Patriots of the American Revolution_ was among the first legitimate studies of this subject.

Crockett: I am tired of the white tears. When you compare me to Marjorie Taylor Greene or me to Lauren Boebert, there is no comparison. So the only people that are crying are the mediocre white boys that have been beaten out by people that historically have had to work so, so much harder
