Hey Merrick Garland, fuck you forever. Through your inaction, you enabled this blitzkrieg against the rule of law and democracy.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.
Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

Idgaf I’m still fighting for guaranteed healthcare.
Aspiration is the answer. Not just “we’re not the bad guys.”
We need something more meaningful than that. I want a future worth fighting for. They have no vision. We do. Lean into our strengths and knock them out. 👊🏽

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers.
This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.
Auschwitz took time.

They're trying to distract us with this shock and awe campaign of horrible and dangerous moves, but don't forget they're also pressuring the senate to confirm Tulsi, Kash, and RFK Jr., all of whom are national security threats. Please call your senators today.

Since Mexico already has free trade with the U.S., Trump attempted to justify his tarrif threat against Mexico on the "open" border, only to be confronted with fact that illegal southern border crossings are down by 75% ... due largely to actions by Mexico's government.
This is getting overlooked, but the whole premise of Trump's threat of tariffs is based on a lie. He's claiming Mexico must be bullied into stopping migrants. But Mexico is *already* doing this. That's a big reason crossings have dropped. 1/

👇🎯 Once again, the ardent insistence in the last two weeks on pretending that the entire actual Harris/Walz campaign didn’t happen - & the 2024 Democratic Party platform didn’t actually exist - is utterly maddening
Kamala Harris talked about Project 2025 in literally every campaign speech she gave. I’m all for searching for constructive solutions but this is just insisting Democrats do something they already did in a losing effort.
I am once again asking The Democrats to make Project 2025 a topic of national conversation.

The guy spend a chunk of his childhood in an internment camp because our government thought he might be dangerous because he was of Japanese descent. He was also gay when you were forced to hide it. It’s been much worse for a lot of people in our history. George knows what he’s talking about.

I'm not exaggerating: as a historian I consider it to be historical fact that this is one of the most shameful documents in the history of the United States.
It's a concession by federal law enforcement that there's no means available to it to punish one of the biggest traitors in American history.
