“This is exactly the moment for people to stand up. And do I see enough people doing it? No, I don’t. It shouldn’t be that there are Democrats that are afraid, because you know what? We’re the targets. We need to be strong, we need to fight back.”

Thank you, @govpritzker.illinois.gov!

It is pretty galling that the Supreme Court spent four years telling Biden "you can't do that without Congress" then allowed Trump to seize a once-unthinkable amount of power from Congress within nine months and concentrate law-making authority almost entirely in the executive branch.

I know that many people here pay attention to branding. So you might want to have a look at this, about the well-underway “transformation of politics into branding, and of the nation into a stage set for performance.”

Make no mistake: public pressure works.

But remember, Trump will still try to abuse his power to pressure CEOs and silence his critics. And the dominance of these media giants is still a major problem.

So to everyone who made a difference today, stay in the fight.
