Our laws are hallow- empty without consequences.
In another lifetime the National Trust for Historic Places would have sent a team of enforcers to shut down the demolition as soon as it started.

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

Authoritarians govern through fear, not legislation. The simple fear of what they would do in certain situations can push even the opposition to capitulate. That’s success for them.

We lose when we fold due to a hypothetical. We win when we challenge the REALITY that is hurting working people.

This is Carolyn Edwards. She was one of the first officers attacked and knocked out on January 6th. She bravely testified before the January 6th committee. She is one of the bravest people I know and she deserves better. (She posted this publicly on her FB page which is why I'm sharing publicly)

While many of Trump’s picks represent a grave threat to democracy and the lives and freedoms of millions of Americans, a handful of his most important nominees could play a direct role in the future of voting rights and access to the ballot over the next four years.

Biden: "The mistake I think I made was not getting our allies to acknowledge that the Democrats did this. So for example, call a new billion dollar bridge over a river 'the Democratic bridge,' figuratively speaking. Talk about who put it together. Let people know this was something Dems did."

Mark Cuban posted a TikTok video that he wants to support or invest in somebody who creates a TikTok replacement built on the bluesky AT protocol.
