The time for the US to have had it in it to put a former president in jail for having a coup was before he got on the ballot for the next election! We are not Brazil, there's a lot upholding Trump, including the opposition party to him.

This holiday season, #WeAintBuyingIt. Join the movement and refuse to shop at Target, Amazon, or Home Depot (and Starbucks!!) from Thanksgiving through Cyber Monday.

Our money has power. If corporations side with authoritarianism, we won't side with them at the register.

I’ve tried everything to keep a roof over my children, but I failed😭. I can’t raise $800 every month, so I have no choice but to move into a tent. Even that costs $500… and I have nothing.
Please don’t leave me alone in this moment. I’m fighting to keep my kids safe.💔❤️‍🩹

Pretty convincing evidence here that the Trump administration was planning to jailbreak and provide asylum for Bolsonaro -- and that Trump inadvertently revealed the plan.

And this, as the now-cliche goes, would have been a paralyzing scandal for any other administration.
Trump appears to blurt out secret plan, not knowing it's already a bust

For at least a year, I've been returning to the question, how would you know when it's time to leave the US? For this piece, I asked trans, nonbinary, and genderqueer Americans who, with their families and partners, have recently fled the country, about how they made this decision and how they left.
When Is It Time to Flee?
Trans people and their families are facing hard questions and choices as threats to their safety and rights proliferate.

Insightful piece by Larry Lessig on the need for more transparency in Harvard faculty members’ ties to Epstein

How could Harvard have allowed this production of Hamlet without the Prince? And will it now commit to a practice that will not protect the elite among us, while shaming those not quite elite enough?
