May this new year meet you gently.
May it bring healing where you are tired, courage where you are unsure, and joy that finds you in small, real ways.
May your days be brighter.
May your heart be lighter.
And may you trust that something good is still unfolding.
Happy New Year.

Timothy Snyder’s “Do not obey in advance,” serves as a powerful reminder of the dangers of preemptive compliance in the face of authoritarianism. This anticipatory obedience paves the way for oppressive systems by normalizing submission and silencing dissent before it is explicitly required.

Democrats have the majority for less than two more months. I'll be using every second to push for passage of my PRESS Act to protect journalists from government spying and surveillance.
