Speaker of the House and Christian Nationalist weirdo Mike Johnson says that Trump was an “FBI Informant in the Epstein case.” Look. I’ve seen the Sopranos. Just because someone becomes an informant does not mean they were not in the mob.

If you don’t understand something you see, try to learn about it. It’s called intellectual curiosity. It’s a door that leads to other doors that lead to other doors. Or you can build a bunker in your own head and hide in it.

The fact that you see how wrong this all is, means your faculties are intact, your mind is fully right, and your heart is working properly; you still have a soul doing what souls are supposed to do: keep you deeply human in profoundly inhumane times.

Many friends are cautious and saying, "let's see where this goes" - but you are at your most powerful right now. Every day you do not act normalizes impunity and makes you and the people you serve weaker.

What the foolish fail to realize is that fascism is never satisfied. It always wants more. They think they can play it and come out ahead. No. It will eat you too, baby.

I think if we could convince run-of-the-mill right wing men to get years of psychotherapy, they would come to understand that it was their desperate insecurities, petty jealousies, and complete lack of intellectual curiosity that lead them to become fascists—not pronouns, Taylor Swift or immigrants.

Senator Andy Kim just went to the USAID building, talked to the security guard there to confirm employees are being barred entry, and then did a press gaggle right there in front to call it out.
This is doing something. This is making an effort on messaging. Other Democratic lawmakers: take notes.
