This is a perfect way to prepare for whatever the State of the Union brings on Tuesday night — an event with Timothy Snyder about the threats of authoritarianism and what we can do to resist it! If you've read his book, you know this will be good. I signed up, join me! social.redwine.blue/s/SZz3nrhi

This says it all

Time to stop talking senator and start acting! As my elected representative, I demand that you form a wall with fellow senators and stop this madness now! Look to South Korea if you need to find some courage.

Exactly. No is a complete sentence

You are my elected official. Why don’t you and fellow Democrats join in not going forward with any more nominations until Elon is caught!!!!!? Listen to your voicemail. Why is it full?! Unite and stop them just like Mitch did with Obama.

UPDATE: 8 Dems voted today to confirm yet another Trump nominee during Musk's coup: Bennett (CO), Gallego (AZ), Hassan (NH), Heinrich (NM), Hickenlooper (CO), King (ME), Lujan (NM), Shaheen (NH). If you're a constituent, don't just call - write an op-ed, protest their office, make clear you care.

We are members of Congress at the Treasury Department. We want to be let in to provide oversight on behalf of our constituents. @jasmineforus.bsky.social @sethmagaziner.bsky.social

The Logic of Destruction And how to resist it

Sometimes self-government just means elections. And sometimes it means recognizing the deeper dignity and meaning of what it means to be a people. That means speaking up, standing out, and protesting. We can only be free together.

The world’s richest man who no one elected just walked into the US Treasury, stole your Social Security number, and Trump let him. You deserve to know why this is happening - call your member of Congress and Senators (202) 224-3121 and ask why.

Call your reps!!! Go to their local office! Get visible and loud!

I am one of your constituents. I just tried to call your office. Your voicemail is full. Stop Elon Musk!

My first real show in Los Angeles. Proud of my guts.

History is littered with democracies that lost their freedoms without seeming to notice while it was happening.

Let’s not become one of them.

Jim Acosta announces on air that he's leaving CNN and says, "it is never a good time to bow down to a tyrant ... don't give in to the lies."

Monica Lewinsky. Anita Hill. Christine Blasey Ford. Jean Carroll. Women pay the price. I for one was not surprised.

Empires My grandmother prophesied the end Of your empires, O fools! She was ironing. The radio was on. The earth trembled beneath our feet. One of your heroes was giving a speech. “Monster,” she called him. There were cheers and gun salutes for the monster. “I could kill him with my bare hands,” She announced to me. There was no need to. They were all Going to the devil any day now. “Don’t go blabbering about this to anyone,” She warned me. And pulled my ear to make sure I understood. - Charles Simic

This feels especially prescient today.

Shove the Presidency Down Trump’s Throat Liberals spent the president-elect’s first term trying and failing to kick him out of office. This time out, they need to turn the White House into a prison.
