72 years old; pro-democracy, anti-fascist; I hate Nazis. Can't stand seeing the Constitution shredded by an obviously deranged individual. Remembering the 60's is the antidote to fascism. Putin is an existential threat.

Why Trump dumped San Antonio native C.Q. Brown as chairman of the joint chiefs www.expressnews.com/news/article... Are you going to believe a misogynistic, alcoholic ex-Foxer nobody or are you going read the general's real bio, backed up by people who actually served with him? San Antonio proud.

This question needs to be answered: Why haven't all living former Presidents stepped up and shown collective rejection of the fascist takeover of America? Americans need to see this. - Devin Duke

🧵 I went to work in Congress with a Member who was raised in South Africa and part of the anti-apartheid movement. She taught me how to optimize the power of the opposition in the House. Like the trimtab on the rudder, members can steer the ship. Here are the six R's of minority power.

For the first weeks, Americans seemed frozen, expecting institutions to do something. Americans were used to “checks and balances” and “guardrails” working. That didn’t happen. People realized that they had to take matters into their own hands. 👇

Something is shifting. They are still breaking things and stealing things. And they will keep trying to break and to steal. But the propaganda magic around the oligarchical coup is fading. (1/2)

Sure Trump fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs and the CNO....but they fired the top JAG's in the Army, Navy, and Air Force. Why would you fire the top lawyers in the armed services at night on a Friday? That's the part you should be freaking out about.

Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Let’s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

Governor Mills doesn’t suffer fools lightly, and it appears she has even less tolerance for bullies. (And as a former attorney general, she knows what she’s talking about.)

So. It has officially happened. I have been officially let go from my position at CDC. I wasn’t a probationary employee. I had stellar performance reviews every year. I’ll be ok. But please understand that many worked HARD to get into these positions and were doing great public health work.

Happy birthday Kathleen. My sister had the power to beguile. She made us believe that it wasn't that late. She inspired us to tell more stories, sing songs, stay for the nightcap. She suffered such heartbreak and pain without ever letting it show. We lost her way too young. Love you big sis.

I was labeled a “conspiracy theorist” and had multiple defamatory hit pieces written about me for making the below observation in the immediate aftermath of the 2016 election. I wish more people had seen it sooner, before it all had time to play out and became too late.
