A better America is possible. Imagine going to the doctor and not being worried about the cost. Imagine having three days off per week and being able to pay all your bills. Imagine being able to go to college and graduate without debt. It’s possible.

I regret to inform everyone that today was not the bottom. We aren’t even close to the bottom, yet.

like it or not, we need these people. we tried to beat trump without them and we failed. if we want to save some semblance of democracy, the coalition is going to have to be bigger than just the people who've been right about everything the entire time.

You do not fight political fights with the same policy as your opponent, especially if you paint your opponent’s policy as dangerous. Democrats should not get more conservative, the party should get dark money out and advocate for Medicare for All.

I can’t remember where I read this, but it’s important: Why is it that when people think about traveling to the past, they worry about doing something small that will drastically change the present, but no one in the present thinks that doing something small today can drastically change the future?

If our government has money for war, ethnic cleansing, and genocide, they have money for reparations for the descendants of chattel slavery. These struggles are linked. Our elected officials are choosing to spend money on bombs instead of our communities.

If our country survives this crisis, I hope the experience will show Americans 2 important things: 1. That government is a necessary good--not the evil that Ronald Reagan warned us about. Air traffic control & food safety inspections are great, actually. 2. We have to enforce the laws on rich ppl.

RONALD REAGAN (1988): We should be aware of the demagogues who are ready to declare a trade war against our friends, weakening our economy, our national security, and the entire free world—all while cynically waving the American flag.

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.

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

Bernice King says it well. We needed compassion, empathy, humility, and truth this week from our president. We got lies, blame, racism, and mean-spirited, petty attacks on our trans and differently-abled siblings.

Once they normalize breaking the rules to go after people who are not citizens of this country, their next phase will be to go after people who are "not the right kind of citizens". By then it will be too late to stop them. Don't let them normalize any of it.

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers. This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

Perhaps someone should start a site where mediocre, straight, white men can talk about how DEIA hurt them, it can be called "My Struggle".

People of good will and conscience are eager to do something, and we do need to do something. However, immediate knee-jerk actions aren't going to amount to much. We are 4 days in, and I'd strongly suggest taking a few days to regain your equilibrium and have that good cry or whatever.
