Here’s @timothysnyder.bsky.social on why the use of Signal is the real scandal: β€œSignalgate is shocking on its own. But more troubling when we begin to understand β€” Signal chats provide American authorities with cover to plan the violation of human rights.” open.substack.com/pub/snyder/p...

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office.

Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc.

Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

A tweet by Michael McFaul (@McFaul) that reads: "In 2012, when I was the US ambassador to Russia, Putin shut down USAID inside Russia. Why? Because their work supported free markets, democracy, human rights β€” ie causes that threatened Putin's dictatorship. Shutting down USAID is exactly what autocrats all over the world want."
