For something different… An apt quite for today as we seek hope amidst darkness. The moral, I think: Be the robin.

Another blatant attempt at ethic cleansing. Shocking, scary — and unbelievable, if this information wasn’t true. bsky.app/profile/jonc...

Members of Congress were denied entry to the Department of Treasury today. @maddow.msnbc.com called this a five-alarm fire. Time to flood the phones. It’s easy and quick. Just do this six times a day. Please.

I wonder how the people who voted for this guy are going to feel when they don’t get their tax refunds in April, or their Social Security checks this month… www.youtube.com/watch?v=RIHN...

@warren.senate.gov What practical actions should we take? I’ve always activated, but I have no clue what to do now.

And from @maddow.msnbc.com last night… To be clear, we’re no longer wondering what would happen IF this administration attempted to create an oligarchy. It’s already happened. And it’s happened within 12 days. www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQ1H...

I haven’t found a way to edit my posts once they’re posted, so I’ll add this here: we need to get on the phone EVERYDAY and make those calls. I will, will you?

We're literally seeing the authoritarian playbook in action. Key points: 1. Democrats and the media don't know what to do. They've never been in this situation before. 2. In the absence of a catalyzing event, it's easy for leaders like Trump to slowly suffocate our democracy while people tune out.

I’ve been feeling helpless in the face of what’s happening, not knowing what I personally can do to fight against it. Here are some things…

Most people (Democrats) I talked to during election days didn’t believe there could actually be a coup. “We have checks and balances,” they said. Hitler dismantled democracy in 53 days. Presidents Trump and Musk are on track to beat that record.

"DOGE does not have power over established government agencies, and Musk has no role in government. It does not matter that he is an ally of the President. Musk is a private citizen taking control of established government offices. That is not efficiency; that is a coup."

This is exactly what I’ve been saying since I I spent many hours phone banking with Wisconsin Dems. It was eye-opening. I always believed that people are fundamentally good. I now see how much hate they hold in their hearts. And we have a congress that won't protect us. youtube.com/watch?v=QKiB...
