More than a year in this has mostly gone as I feared, and in some ways has been worse. But there have been two contrasting surprises: -- The speed and breadth of institutional capitulation -- The courage, ferocity, and resolution of regular people Our strength isn't our institutions. It's us.

Pete Hegseth gave an order to "kill them all". Was that because they were "narco-terrorists" or because he didn't't want to leave any witnesses alive. Especially if they were just fishermen.

Zohran Mamdani's win is "an incredible proof of concept of how to fight fascism," says @naomiaklein.bsky.social. "Fascists want everybody to be the same. They celebrate conformity, uniformity, sameness, hierarchy. … The entire [Mamdani] campaign was a love letter to the diversity."

Republicans in Congress can repeal every tariff tomorrow and take Trump’s tariff authority away from him. But they choose not to. So every Republican in Congress owns EVERY SINGLE BIT of this. You can’t hide from the voters forever.

Trump's authoritarianism encourages demagogues around the world. If we can take inspiration from Cory Booker's marathon defense of democracy and the win in Wisconsin tonight and hit the streets hard on April 5th, we can begin to reverse the river. A blow to Trump is a blow to all wannabe Hitlers.
