I will use every tool at my disposal to protect this country from Trump. I will litigate to defend voting rights until there are no cases left to bring. I will speak out against authoritarianism until my last breath. I will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

well, for starters, it wasn’t a crusade so much as a very mild scolding, but having seen their response to the most meager of reprimands, i think we should start planning an actual anti-tech crusade and discussing what it should look like and accomplish

This is why I think the rise of Trump (and the far right more generally) is so intrinsically linked to the rise of social media. What Trump promises is the politics of total emotional indulgence, and what social media has created is a news environment where you can pick whichever facts you like.

There is no serious legal basis for the litigation challenging the Dem win for NC Supreme Court, and they are not following the proper procedure. This isn't a case of well it was close, a recount might still flip it. I don't think it's an exaggeration to say it's an attempt to steal the election.

WE ARE STILL IN THIS. Wipe your tears. This is the difficult business of hope and defying expectation. We do not give up. We run through the tape. Y’all aren’t allowed to throw in the towel until I do. 😉 Big breath. Locked in. Let’s do this.

The birthright citizenship portion of the US Constitution is totally, inarguably unambiguous. No wiggle room. If the supreme court agrees to throw it out they are explicitly throwing out the entire document and our entire system of government.

the frenzy over the hunter biden pardon is a good reminder that the press knows how to make something a scandal and has decided that nothing trump does is truly deserving of that treatment
