Mark Kelly: "They are not silencing me. I'm still speaking out. I still am going to do my job every single day regardless of whether this president wants to kill me, hang me, execute me, or shut me up. I'm not gonna shut up."

For too long, those in the pro-democracy camp have been bullied into believing that the only thing that matters to the American people are gas prices and inflation and that the public doesn't care about democracy.
Not only is this wrong, but it's an utter abdication of leadershipโฆ 1/2

How the Military Celebrates Thanksgiving
Across the world, members of our armed forces come together, share a meal, and remember that they are not alone.
"Thanksgiving will find some units deployed in combat, some in the field training, others in remote outposts that are dusty, cold, dangerous, or little more than sandbagged shelters." That doesn't stop them. lnk.thebulwark.com/3KixnOD

20-year-old West Virginia National Guard member, Sarah Beckstrom, died a day after volunteering to serve in DC so that others could enjoy Thanksgiving with their families. She deserves our gratitude, not political exploitation by a shameless president who scapegoats immigrants to swell his power.

What really gets me is the people who claim to be the real Americans are the ones who are part of a movement that defies court orders, tries to overturn elections, weaponizes law enforcement, and sides with Russia over our allies, all things which are quintessentially unAmerican.

The amount of anti-American bullshit that this administration and its allies are pushing is extremely dangerous. You might think they canโt succeed at changing the narrative of this country into an nativist, tribal, and cruel place. But give them ten more years and weโll see.

The sacred American spaces desecrated by the American president
The American faithful must find their voice if the divine American idea is to survive
Happy thanksgiving, America
Iโm thankful for every one of you who remembers what the task of this nation really is, and how important it is that we continue to pursue the more perfect union
(Which I pondered a bit in this recent piece)

We should try to figure out why this tragedy happened. Thatโs not politicizing a tragedy. And assuming thereโs fault, holding the responsible parties accountable isnโt politicizing a tragedy. But thatโs NOT what the right is doing. Theyโre weaponizing a tragedy to further their authoritarian project

We must spend the rest of our lives rebuilding what has been so corrupted. It is our obligation as patriotic Americans, but most likely, even under the best of circumstances, we will never be able to get back to a pre-2016 state of affairs. Itโs such a great tragedy. 3/3

No matter how weak this authoritarian movement may appear in this moment, the fact is that people who have a vested interest in dismantling our Republic control the levers of power. These are very serious times that call for people of integrity and courage to rise to this moment. 3/3
