This app did the thing yet again where it updated itself and turned “Require alt text before posting” off, so if you have that set, go into Settings > Accessibility and turn it back on (and if you don’t have it set, I recommend doing that)

Ha. I had this exact conversation with my therapist.

I think we've all had a moment in which we said to ourselves, "You know, my life would be a lot easier if I just decided to be selfish and not care about the long term or how my actions affect others." Then we don't do that.
He did.

So my recommendation: stay true to your allyship values.👍🏿

Hey @murray.senate.gov. At lunch the other day I suggested that y’all start talking about long term goals and start with a set of constitutional amendments.
My suggestions were eliminating the electoral college and fixing citizens united.

The Constitution needs an upgrade. Trump has made clear that the US Constitution & overall system have significant security flaws + traits that benefit extremism. We need structural changes, inc. multiple Constitutional Amendments, to improve resilience to future authoritraians. A starter list: 🧵

I had lunch with @murray.senate.gov the other day and she, rightly, put the disaster we are in at the feet of republicans and said that Dems need to take the Senate.
My response: "I don't think we can last that long"
Also stressed that there is no returning to the old world.

If congresspeople need to give DHS 7 day notice if they want to inspect, why not just flood them with a request for every day starting in a week? Put them on notice that you may show up any day.

Trump is terrorizing an entire city as an act of political retribution.
It's Minneapolis today, it could be Seattle or New York tomorrow. Speaking up matters right now.

Classic blunder. Never invade Russia in the winter.
To any ICE agents reading this who are from down south—you have never experienced anything like this cold. Our European climate equivalent is literally Stalingrad. It will hurt to breathe. You will be outside in it. So will we, but we are used to it.
Next week is what will break you.

A teenage boy was walking home in Minneapolis yesterday when four masked men jumped out of a van & questioned him - with no parent or guardian present.
He was bundled into the van & taken away.
Bystanders heard the boy say: “Can I just go home?”
I don’t know how America comes back from all this.
