I’m realizing that if we truly want Establishment Democrats to fight against Donald Trump and his fascism with everything they’ve got, then we all we need to do is convince them that Trump is actually a 33-year-old brown Muslim democratic socialist.

THIS IS FUCKED UP: Sae Joon Park took bullets for America in Iraq.
The thanks he got? A one-way ticket out of the country he nearly died for.
He’s being deported to South Korea—after surviving spinal injuries, PTSD, and addiction.
He fought for America. Now America throws him out like trash.

“The members of the Republican majority are behaving not like traditional conservatives but like revolutionaries who, having seized power, believe they must smash up the old order as quickly as possible before the country recognizes what is happening.”

Thank you, Sen. Van Hollen! Resistance & persistence!
I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

Meanwhile over on the other place, rightwing free speech warriors (this guy is a former DeSantis campaign staffer) are calling for me to be denaturalized and deported because they don’t like my political speech. This is what fascism and racism looks like, folks.

None of us can be sure what will “work.” You try multiple things and find your way in. Read some histories of the Civil Rights Movement by those who participated. They were never “sure” of what would work. Some campaigns fizzled out. But persistence, creativity, determination, and focus were key.

This is brilliant.
So my wife is a pediatrician and works in some hospitals with high vaccine and intervention hesitation (suburban ones). She has found *tremendous* success by just letting the families know she will have to document the higher risk of specific, and often fatal illness, in the chart of their child.
