There are people who could stop this if they wanted to stop this craziness. There are constitutional ways to address a president who is running amuck. Those who could get him out of office don't seem to choose that. This is what keeps me awake nights.
There is no calvary expected.

Today we honor Dr. King by remembering that his legacy wasn’t comfort or quiet it was courage, sacrifice, and resistance in the face of injustice. He knew progress is never handed down; it’s pushed forward by ordinary people who refuse to accept inequality as normal.

I love this point in Margaret Sullivan's newsletter:
"There should be far less emphasis on 'we don’t want to look biased,' and far more on 'how well are we doing our jobs of getting across the truth?'”
It's not biased to call out authoritarian liars. 1/2🧵 @sulliview.bsky.social

With democracy in free fall, the media must (finally) wake up

Todd Blanche is helping cover up a murder. Our federal government is run by monsters.
BREAM: Is the FBI investigating the ICE agent who shot Renee Good?
BLANCHE: What happened has been reviewed by millions of Americans bc it was recorded. We investigate when it's appropriate. That is not the case here. We are not going to bow to pressure. So no, we are not investigating.

'Black Throated Wind'
Going to see the Grateful Dead was akin to stepping into the void, hitchhiking into the unknown and surrendering fate and ego to the tribe.
