Where is our humanity?

Even if you accept the premise and decision, which I absolutely do not, it is the simplest thing to phone the visa holder, tell them their visa is revoked and say they have a month to leave the country. Accosting someone on the street like a kidnapping is just a spectacle of terror.

The Massachusetts governor, the city, and the university needs to drop everything to locate and free this girl and make sure this doesn't happen again. This is DEFCON-1. If they do this to someone who wrote an op-ed in a college newspaper, they will do this to anyone they don't like.

Pete Hegseth must resign or be fired immediately.

Top intelligence committees need to begin an investigation into Pete Hegseth's epic Signal chat mishap. ASAP. There should be televised hearings so all Americans have transparency on how such an enormous breach of national security could take place in first place.

I mean very obviously Hegseth should resign, and if it were a Democratic administration this would be quickly be a consensus position.

I am begging blue state governors to have lunch this week with your adjutant general of the National Guard. Cannot stress enough how important this relationship is going to be in the near future.

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable. Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes. Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

If you vote for this Republican Funding Bill, you are complicit in all that DOGE, President Elon, and Trump does.

We need to stop expecting intervention from a top down approach and start building a bottom up resistance. What does that mean? It means engaging our local and state leaders to start preparing for the inevitable. We should no longer expect the federal government to protect us. 1/3

Elon Musk recently posted on his site that another lawyer and I are “undermining civilization.” He goes on to ask if we suffered childhood trauma and concludes by suggesting we are suffering from “generational trauma.” This is my response. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/my-o...

This is bravery in the face of fascism. Every single member of the D party should be up in arms in solidarity with AOC.

Any one of these cabinet confirmations is dangerous. The fact that they all came from the *same* network of foreign influences is terrifying. The US has been captured by hostile foreign powers, and it may not be reversible.

A good practice right now, and I will have trouble doing it but am sure going to try, is to withhold reactions to provocations as long as possible. Allow time for the frontal cortex to engage rather than just letting the amygdala react without reflection.

Biden: "Some in the incoming administration are skeptical about the need for clean energy. They don't even believe climate change is real. I think they come from a different century. They are wrong. They are dead wrong. It's the single greatest existential threat to humanity."
