Elise Stefanik is the first Trump nominee we’ve defeated, we did it because we won the PA State Senate special. Important reminder that in a democracy elections is how you bring accountability and change. Proud to be in this fight with @demfirst.bsky.social @maloneforsenate.bsky.social

Many of us are echoing @timothysnyder.bsky.social's lesson in On Tyranny, "Do not obey in advance.”

A no less vital admonition that deserves attn:

STAND OUT

β€œ...without that unease, there is no freedom. The moment you set an example, the spell of the status quo is broken, and others will follow."

We live at a moment when every lecture that I give to the public about US history, I have to ponder how the current moment will shape it.

Talking about the election of 1800 on Fridayβ€”and I’ll be talking about violence as politics, and the vital importance of our constitutional political process.

Democracies can fade away, decline, & even die, but only if the citizens decide to give up.

This isn’t a moment to give up. It’s time to-redouble of efforts to preserve American Democracy, our Constitution, & the Rule of Law.
