I’ve been in politics for over a half-century. I’ve watched as corporations and the super-rich flooded D.C. with campaign cash and ransacked our system.
It won't be easy, but here’s how we break the corporate oligarchy and return power to the people. https://youtu.be/sP0pRIBRcDk?si=o8uynfvuoVhcX7p8

Your regular reminder that almost everything Trump is getting away with is not because of presidential strength, but because of congressional weakness and judicial deference.
The constitutional tools are already there to fix this, but those who can fix it are refusing to do so.

Millions of you, around the world, have put the lessons I wrote in #OnTyranny in late 2016 to good use. It has been humbling to learn how from courageous and creative dissenters, protestors, and oppositionists. I was honored when John Lithgow volunteered to read them aloud.
Here is my best guidance for action, rendered beautifully by the great John Lithgow. I first published these lessons more than eight years ago, in late 2016. They open the twenty chapters of "On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century."

Remember: Trump has no mandate. His agenda is cruel, corrupt, chaotic, and deeply unpopular. And the longer it goes on, the harder it is to sustain in the face of real opposition. That’s our job now — to keep building that opposition.

Sean Hannity told his audience to not be concerned about names on "The Epstein List." They shouldn't rush to judgment. Epstein loved to hang out with famous and important people. He didn't mention Trump's name appears several times in the documents.

Good trouble. Ask for that from your Member of Congress.
The idea that a political party must do more dramatic things in response to defeat is not new to the social media age. New bio of John Lewis describes his approach to Newt Gingrich et al taking the House in 1994.
Lewis applied Civil Rights era lessons and a willingness to burst norms to hurt Newt.

Measles outbreaks are back. Grocery and gas prices are up. Bird flu is spreading. All our allies hate us. Air travel is getting unsafe. The stock market is tanking. The government is about to shut down.

As a former staffer, I answered hundreds of constituent calls. These calls do shape how Reps vote and make decisions.
I made a list of all the Senators by state with contact info for each of their many state offices. Let's flood the zone with our outrage.

Cops protected nazis today
Today in Cincinnati, Police shut down a highway overpass and held a line on each side to allow Hate Club to wave swastika flags and nazi banners unchallenged. They then protected them as they loaded back into their box truck, while physically pushing back a crowd of people trying to confront them.
