It doesn’t matter if they’re “coming for you next.” Even if your position and your privilege will ALWAYS protect you and everyone you love, it is your job as a conscious human being to fight for justice. That’s just the way it fucking is.

You don’t get to abdicate that responsibility.

When you hear “Make America Healthy Again” please remember who the Nazi’s targeted first.

They wanted to make Germany healthy and “pure”

Hell yeah. Hold the line. This is what we need people to do.

Slow things down, don’t comply in advance so the courts have time to stop them. It’s starting to work.

"would you please put that in writing" is how you pull off insubordination without actually being insubordinate. Very useful when you are getting sketchy (whatever 'sketchy' might mean) instructions from someone who might not want to take responsibility for it later.

Decent people have got to leave Substack. Please. I'll follow you wherever you go, and I'm happy to give you my money wherever you land.

Those of you who know me fairly well already know about it because I shout about this so much, but it seems like there can never be enough shouting in this context.

We strongly urge you not to resign and recommend seeking legal counsel!

did america vote to stop suicide prevention efforts for veterans?
