We’d like to end today with a quote from Eleanor Roosevelt:
We do not have to become heroes overnight. Just a step at a time, meeting each thing that comes up, seeing it as not as dreadful as it appears, discovering that we have the strength to stare it down.
Just keep going. Goodnight, heroes.

look I know being an engaged citizen IS the work of democracy but it is also the work of elected officials not to create situations where everyone has to be mobilized all the time to prevent them from allowing some kind of Dickensian horror on a Sunday night while you're in between loads of laundry

I don’t think any of these Democrats understands what they’re doing to the faith of Democrats.
If this is the case—IF—the Repubs must have cut deals with individual Senators.
But then wouldn’t it need to get through the House again?
This would be a bad deal for the country, but man would it be a (completely self-inflicted) political disaster for the Republicans

Chris Murphy: "There will be pretty substantial damage to a Dem brand that has been rehabilitated if on the heels of an election in which the people told us to keep fighting, we immediately stop... if we surrender without having gotten anything, I worry it'll be hard to get them back up off the mat"

One of my favorite photos I took today—in the heart of Chicago on Michigan Ave.. You can count many American flags, Chicago flags, pro democracy signs, & anti-fascist signs.
0 flags to a politician, confederacy, or Nazis. MAGAs claim patriotism—but its anti-fascist Americans who actually embody it.

The president said, in a televised speech, that he's sending his new, less restrained, more violent military into US cities to practice their brutality on immigrants and minorities, to better train them to apply that brutality to other countries.
He said this out loud.

The thing with designating a group that doesn't actually exist as a terrorist organization is that they can then say anyone they want is a part of that group.

They're openly calling to lock up every trans person by force. We need every ally to speak out forcefully against this because trans folks cannot do this on our own.

Tilson sits at a whopping .8%.
Corporate media trust is dead. They killed themselves by failing to fulfill their promise of holding the powerful accountable.
