Democracy dies in daylight

REMINDER #4 4. Don’t grade on a curve Do not hold Republicans to a lower standard and do not hold Democrats to a higher one. When a Republican does something normal, recognize it is normal not exceptional. When a Democrat does something normal, recognize it is normal and not terrible.

A witch hunt has begun at the FBI. Employees are required to provide information by Tuesday and are being encouraged to report on their coworkers. The FBI questionnaire asks agents about their roles in various cases, including whether they made arrests or appeared in court, among other details.

Rather than punch a wall or succumb to helplessness, I downloaded the 5calls app and called (I can’t say they’re “my”) senators to leave a scripted VM about my opposition to the EO affecting federal civil servants. You can do it too! buttondown.com/5calls

Sex offenders in our White House appointing sex offenders as Attorney General should NEVER be normalized. Never stop calling this out.

Just to note: This sort of blackmailing move by Musk is clearly deeply anti-democratic, but from the Beltway media "politics-is-just-a-game" POV, it's just "really smart" and "aggressive." The establishment's impoverished view of democracy & their role have been major factors in democracy's decay.

On election night Marc Thiessen thought it was SHAMEFUL that Kamala Harris didn't concede as soon as Trump declared victory. She conceded the next day. Trump still hasn't conceded the 2020 election - which he LOST - which caused a riot on our Capitol - Shameful indeed.

If you think democracy is gone, you're not reading this: You've already abandoned social media and thrown in the towel. Thus...since you just read this, congratulate yourself. You've decided to stay in the fight and dig in! You're my kind of person.

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism. We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive

I haven't intentionally watched Morning Joe since the early days of 2009 (unless its being force fed while I am traveling). I have always found content like this on MSNBC just as toxic the crap spewing out of Fox and other right wing outlets. This stuff is not good for your brain.
