The singular reason we are going to call it a constitutional crisis until the coup his complete is that Americans have become so fear-ridden they cannot conceive of losing a life’s worth of material gains.

this particular line is maybe the best statement of purpose i have seen for those of us who want a more militant opposition to this administration
“Let us be clear: we want the power of the state. We wish to hold the criminals of the regime accountable. We wish to seize back the public funds looted by Trump and his cronies. We wish to undo the damage he has done to the government. More than any of that we wish to rebuild.”
From Powerlessness to Power
We will not achieve any of our ultimate goals without exercising state power, and the most effective way to take state power is through nonviolent but confrontational resistance.

This #BlackHistoryMonth, Boston Parks and Recreation is honoring Black Bostonians whose legacies live on in our parks. Today, we’re celebrating Phillis Wheatley, an enslaved woman who would go on to become the first published African American, and an internationally celebrated poet.

The grasslands of western India are, in the popular imagination, the remains of woodlands lost under British rule — areas to be reforested, not conserved.
But an analysis of medieval songs and stories reveals the grasslands predate British colonization.

India Sees Its Grasslands as 'Wastelands.' Ancient Poems Show Otherwise
The sprawling grasslands of western India are, in the popular imagination, the remains of woodlands that were leveled under British rule — areas to be reforested, rather than conserved. But a recent analysis of stories, songs, and poems from centuries past reveals that western grasslands predate British colonization.

I was a White House ethics lawyer.
I used to advise people not to even accept a free cup of coffee from someone who had interests before them. And staff followed those rules.
I can’t even find the words to describe the scale of Trump’s corruption here.

Foreign countries are bribing our president to sell out the American people.
Trump family businesses made $187 MILLION from this deal, and just months later he gave the UAE some of our most top-secret AI tech.
They are selling our national security to the highest bidder.
