Today, #KashPatel sent a letter to my counsel @markzaidesq.bsky.social threatening to sue & demanding I retract my MSNBC comments on his unfitness to serve as FBI Director. This follows his threats against media & political opponents, showing how he might act if confirmed. I stand by my statements.

Who's the "shithole country" now?
Response to coups by elected leaders:
- South Korea: blocked by mass mobilization of citizens
- Brazil: coup leader indicted, barred from politics
- United States: coup leader re-elected with majorities in the legislature and a compliant Supreme Court

A lot can happen on the first day of a new regime, so plan to be an ally to the marginalized populations already targeted (e.g., LGBTQ, POC, etc.). To whit, the brutalization of Jews in Germany began within days of Hitler’s election.

Pete Hegseth has no business being in charge of defense when the military is dealing with an ongoing issue of sexual assault against women. This is some next level shit.

This: “The main thing to understand, now that the clock has run out, is that Garland and the DOJ do not want to hold Trump accountable. The preservation of a corrupt institution and its secrets is their agenda, not the survival of our country or the welfare of its people.”
In case you're STILL confused about mafia enabler Merrick Garland, please read this article. I wrote it in 2023. It is not a response to current events. It explains why the these events would happen unless good people intervened -- which they did not. sarahkendzior.substack.com/p/servants-o...

Just so we’re clear, a people’s revolt against autocracy happens in the streets, not at the ballot box. Don’t look to the Democratic Party (or any party for that matter) to topple the regime: It’s on us.

Hegseth, according to his books, could be counted upon to ignore threats to America from abroad, and to use a purged and politicized military against “enemies within.”
