They're Trying to Crush You: Audio From A Collapsing State This has been a hell of a week.

Trump is strategically blitzing us with a flood of destructive actions and gleeful abuse. The point is to pummel us into submission.

We can’t afford to ignore it but we also have to take care of ourselves, otherwise we can’t fight back.

WE ARE STILL IN THIS.
Wipe your tears.
This is the difficult business of hope and defying expectation.
We do not give up.
We run through the tape.

Y’all aren’t allowed to throw in the towel until I do. 😉

Big breath. Locked in. Let’s do this.

Jealous! All our snow melted here in Minnesota today

Would all be fixed if the people weren’t functionally illiterate, unread, and ignorant — a special kind of belligerent ignorance at that

Lake Vermillion, Minnesota

We all are. Just enjoying these days until January 20 and then trying to stay connected to good people for the craziness ahead

I’d appreciate it

You bet

I’ve been saying this for the last two years. Any notion that our leaders will work for the people has just been crushed in me. They keep acting like this is all normal.

I have a transgender granddaughter. I love her and am so happy she finally found her true self (in her late 20s). I know she struggled for a long time and I am so pleased for her. All trans people are welcome and safe with me.

Seeing how red states with poor tax bases don’t actually contribute a net gain towards our pool of education dollars, this is blatantly ignorant. I have family in Tennessee and am a UTK grad, but I wouldn’t trust the state of Tennessee to educate anyone anymore

Step up and help take care of people Adam.

@adamkinzinger.bsky.social I grew up in LaSalle county. How in the world did so many decent people end up so far down the rabbit hole?

If you’re looking for doom posting about things, I’m not your guy. It’s bad, but I’ve spent my life dusting myself off and getting back to work. We don’t have the luxury to throw our hands in the air and let things collapse. I’m working to organize and fight against the horror show coming. Let’s go!

Get it done Mark! Miss you and grateful for you
