Anything less than this from anyone running for public office is a non-starter.
from https://natebradyforca.com

On ICE
In light of the recent public killings of Alex Pretti and Renee Nicole Good, it is clear that ICE has become a rogue agency that consistently violates the First, Second, and Fourth Amendment rights of American citizens.

No amount of funding or training can rehabilitate this operation. ICE must be defunded, the agents involved in the deaths of American citizens must be arrested, and the leaders overseeing these operations must be impeached and investigated.

Anything less is an insult to all of us.

This video is so important. Trump is desperate for protests to turn into violent riots so he can justify a military crackdown. Do not take the bait.

tRump awards the Medal of Freedom to a man whom history will record as a known racist misogynistic bigot while the MAGA crowd applauds and cheers like braying jackasses.

💯% Correct! tRump wants, NEEDS a violent reaction from these targeted communities to justify martial law. They are not taking the bait and must beware of the MAGA agitators who will try to incite the violence he demands.

Finally! Real actionable ideas. We must all do our part to resist authoritarianism. My voice alone is tiny but together with others it is powerful. We The People are out there protesting, doing what we can. But Democratic leadership in congress must do more. This article offers a plan of action.

This 🧵 by Senator Murphy is a must read. A clear and concise explanation of Trump’s motives. It was NEVER about “America First”. It was always about “Trump First” and turning American Democracy into his own personal fiefdom. Autocracy was the plan all along.

“Courage, dear heart.” -CS Lewis We must not be afraid to stand up for what is right. For the rule of law and our constitution. American democracy cannot be so fragile as to fall to a grifting conman and his gullible followers. Fight back! Excellent article.

This perfectly sums up this awful time we are living through. The ignorance + gullibility of Trump supporters is shocking. Jan 6 should have been the end of tRump + MAGA. More must be done to combat the mis/disinformation that got us here.

Other ideas for other ways to fight back. If you don't know where to start, pick one of these and do it.

Thirty lonely but beautiful actions you can take right now which probably won't magically catalyze a mass movement against Trump but that are still wildly important
Why? Because others will see you do them, and it will make it easier for them to take their own (slightly less lonely but equally beautiful) action by your side

What we’re witnessing in America is what happens when disordered discourse captures a political party, then the state itself. The Republican Party was the first to fall - abandoning truth for conspiracy, ideology for grievance, and policy for performative outrage.

I was a 1st grade teacher on the day of Sandy Hook. I heard the news while driving to work. I was devastated. When my students arrived I handed out watercolors, played What A Wonderful World and told them to paint a picture inspired by the music. They painted while I cried.

Two days after the 12-year anniversary of the Sandy Hook Elementary School tragedy—where 20 children and six educators were senselessly killed by a gunman with an AR-15—we are once again mourning lives taken by gun violence in a school. Why don’t Republicans in Congress think this is a problem?

We really need an educated electorate, and voting should be a civic obligation like paying taxes. Candidates for office should receive free airtime to state their positions. NO PRIVATE DONATIONS OR ADS. Oligarchs own the media and our politicians which is why we have to endure Trump2.0
