YouTube video by MSNBC ‘Deplore violence’ but ‘be curious where it is coming from’

A sense of defenselessness, of being unheard and unhelped, has become the common American culture, the thing that unites people on left and right. And we need to understand that deeply if we’re going to stop political violence from spreading further.

Advice to Funders: Protect Democracy Defenders Who Stand Up to Trump Trump threatens all who dare to challenge him. Help them stay safe and hire lawyers.

ICYMI, I proposed a bipartisan Stand Up To Trump Freedom Fund for lawyers, personal security, etc. so people can fight back if they are investigated, sued or fired. Should be set up now so people voting next month on Trump nominations know it's there. www.thebulwark.com/p/funders-sh...

I don't know who needs to know this, but Pro Publica has an online thing that will format a letter to your US health insurance company to demand the records behind a claim denial. (which the insurance is then legally required to provide in most cases)

Dear Joe Biden: Here's how you can protect reproductive rights from Trump's zealots While there's still time.

What could Biden do to protect abortion rights before he leaves office? Several things, as I reported last month:

-Preemptively pardon abortion pill providers who could be charged under Comstock
-Complete EMTALA investigations
-Finalize repro-related regulations

👋🏻 (i think that’s the wave. don’t have my imma ol’ lady now glasses on)

So a reminder:

It’s not ‘liberals’ saying Hegseth abuses women. It’s his mom.

It’s not ‘liberals’ comparing Trump to Hitler. It’s his vice-president.

It’s not ‘liberals’ calling Musk a liar and a racist. It’s his own child.

For the record.

My mom, as many know, has said some truly unpleasant things to me over the years, but this far surpasses that. While this mother has apologized for that letter, it sounds pretty truthful to me. I cannot imagine ever writing such a thing to my sons unless they deserved it, even at a tense time.

you, too!

ditto.
