I am once again incensed that my House Rep didn’t retire before this last election. Because now he’s dead and there’s no one in his seat yet.

They are inflicting "everything everywhere all at once" upon all of us, because that's how fascism, everywhere authoritarianism, wins: via overwhelm.
But they're not strategic, and they think everyone else is as cowardly as they are.
If we overwhelm them back, they won't be able to cope.

The protests & slowdowns & leaks & refusals to comply & boycotts & strikes & antifascist art & gumming up the works & sanctuary projects & all the other stuff that we’ve got to run all at once have to feel like that too.
Break their hold bit by bit.
Here, there, & over here too, until - whoosh.

It's hard to overstate how destructive the reflexive "this is a distraction!" stuff that politicians and commentators and people are always peddling.
Everything is happening all at once. That's how authoritarianism works. If you can't navigate and synthesize this, you're not meeting the moment.

Yuuuuup. Being an asshole limits your options. Or to put it another way, in any major project there's room for maybe one asshole. That's probably not going to be you, and you shouldn't fight anyone for that role.

Protests show that people are paying attention. Protests show that people aren’t going to go along with things. Protests matter.
Protest changes the permission structure. It says fascists will not be allowed to proceed unencumbered. And if you didn't think there was anything to be done, a protest shows you many think otherwise.

Human beings have human rights. The protections of the Constitution aren't reserved for law-abiding citizens and/or people who "came here the right way". They are human rights. If authoritarians carve out a sacrificial class that lacks those protections, they become universally revokable.

@schatz.bsky.social this is why you should not vote yes.
if Trump and his cronies are able to veto appropriations made by Congress, then we've already moved into a dictatorial system of government. Why would Democrats waste time negotiating spending deals if Trump can just rip them up after he signs them?
