There is absolutely no viable path forward for this country that doesn’t hinge on extreme accountability for everyone involved in this administration. They’re going to whine about politicization and credulous media types will echo them, but the thing is, they’ve committed tons of obvious crimes!

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

Pete Hegseth is a psychopath and a disgrace. Its unfathomable that he's still in power. I don't even know what to say anymore. Whenever I think that the moral rot has fully metastasized a new mutation is discovered. We're a sick society, getting sicker by the hour. I'm ashamed to be an American.

Americans are relearning the lesson we learned during the Gilded Age of the late 1890s, when robber barons ran the government and the economy for their own benefit: Oligarchy is incompatible with the common good. I'm hopeful we'll respond with a new progressive movement.

Tyrants view educated citizens as their greatest enemy. Slaveholders stopped the enslaved from learning to read. Nazis burned books. Dictators censor media. That’s why Trump is attacking education, science, museums, the media, and the arts – to prevent us from learning. It's Fascism 101.

When the public finally learns the full accounting of the damage done in this war, it’ll probably be too late to hold anyone in the Trump administration accountable. But this is insane. And they’re lying to the American people.

District court judges across the country have been holding the line against Trump. These judges deserve appreciation — just as those who have enabled and collaborated with the regime deserve condemnation. All of these people are making moral choices. Democracy is a moral choice. Remember this.

And don't think you don't have power, either. Recent surveys show trans people may be as high as 2% of the population, and up to 5% if you include gender-expansive categories, and we have family members and allies. Many elections are decided by a single percentage point. We have power here.

Democrats should be at the microphone right now noting that this is a Hatch Act violation that they'll be pursuing in January. I don't care that the nation's become numb to this shit. It's still illegal and if Democrats should run against it and then act to crush it.
