I had been doubtful that we were going to have a "this is the crisis moment" with Trump, as opposed to "everything about this is a destructive catastrophe." But the Abrego Garcia case is the crisis moment. 1/

Courage is contagious. But how do we catch it? For months, @amifieldsmeyer.bsky.social and I have been asking dissidents and activists from around the world how we can topple authoritarianism. We assembled their lessons into a field guide to courage. www.newyorker.com/news/the-wee...

Now I’m just a small town country lawyer but it feels as though rather than abandoning our most targeted and marginalized communities to win over 19 bigots, Democrats should run on “we’re going to impeach remove and imprison that demented evil criminal fuck and his pale ratty Nazi billionaire, too”

Trump has no concept of the nation or of its security. This is not an insult to his intelligence. These are just not cognitive categories for him. He can’t care about national security because it’s not a thing in his world.

Let’s not forget that anyone who voted for Trump the second tune was ok enough with child separation to vote the same inhumane people in AGAIN. Of course they’re worse! It appears that everyone still in the Republican Party is happy with everything Trump is doing and all must be held accountable.

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave. Tell them: 1. Vote NO on Cloture AND 2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill. Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it. TODAY is the showdown. 🤳🏽: (202) 224-3121

There are two people in Congress-the chairs of the Senate & House Appropriations Committees-who have enormous power over the illegal impoundment of funds appropriated by Congress, which is sowing chaos across the US.

@aoc.bsky.social everywhere all at once please. @democrats.org this is the energy we need. Clear. Direct. Easy to follow. She is the best messenger on the left. Dems need messengers on the center and the right too, but if you explain to people what works, like you are their friend, people get it.

Good morning! 1) We need at least one member of Congress to attempt to break through the police line at one of these agencies TODAY. Please push this with calls to your electeds, with in person meetings and on social media. 2) If an elected attempts to break the line, give me a heads up? Thank you!
