I’m seeing lots of El-Sayed Ted signs in rural Clinton County.

I like the idea of quarterly town halls. The contrast with “Invisible Man” Tom Barrett couldn’t be more clear.

When this regime falls — at the ballot box or in a failed effort to steal an election — the fact that Trump will have appointed 4 out of 9 justices should settle the question of unpacking the Court. There is no virtue in "respecting norms" when it comes to the legacy of an autocratic fascist.

Where are the student protests? The real answer isn’t that students decided to shut up. It’s that universities and a hostile federal government have expended massive resources trying to ensure they do.

“Where have all the student protests gone?”

Trump wanted campus crackdowns. Colleges couldn't wait to oblige.

As a Marine platoon leader in Vietnam, Mueller was shot and later returned to lead his platoon after his recovery. He received a Bronze Star for valor, a Purple Heart, 2 Navy/Marine Commendation medals, Republican of Vietnam Cross of Valor, and numerous other medals.

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

Correct. Now is the time to be very clear on the fact that you don't give a fucking inch to fascists. Not on anything. Not ever. Everything they are doing is per se illegitimate. The very minimum you demand is an immediate, across-the-board return to regular democratic order and norms. Nothing less.

100%. I honestly believe political leaders ask too little of people. The thinking is you need an extraordinarily low bar - so ask people for money or to sign something. People want to be part of something and they're eager to do real meaningful work in defense of their community and their rights.

US higher education was a crown jewel, generating knowledge, wealth, prestige, and power unrivaled by anyone. And the US is throwing it away, because Americans elected a govt ideologically opposed to truth, science, merit, and racial/gender equality, preferring to weaken the country to reduce that.

while I’m being cranky, access journalism needs to go. When the president does his “I’m alpha because I insulted you” thing somebody needs to fall on his sword and say “what the fuck is wrong with you, old man?” on a hot mic. the hero of the wizard of Oz is Toto.
