It’s going to be critical to be aware and remain resolute in our values these next 4 years.

Here’s my 5 values that will get me through Trump 2.0:

Integrity
Empathy
Perseverance/ Resilience
Curiosity
Contentment / Joy

Would enjoy to hear yours in the comments!
The air collision wasn’t just a tragedy, it was completely avoidable. When Trump starts blaming minorities and women, you know he’s hiding something. Why should we be surprised when the head of the FAA was fired on 1/20, and the country’s first air crash on US soil in 16 years happens 9 days later?

Thank you, President Biden. You gave us your all!

History will recognize the great accomplishments like the climate change measures, the bringing back NATO, and others.

Put another way, if history doesn’t view him kinder than the present, things turned out a lot worse than we thought.

Trump definitely got his money’s worth when appointing 3 Judicial accomplices. May the Roberts’ Court forever be remembered as the final form of bail from any reasonable accountability.

At least we will have Jack Smith’s report on Trump’s insurrection.

You’re on a plane.

A person seated next to you had attempted to hijack flights in the past. When airborne, there’s routine turbulence. The pilot reassures everyone the plane’s safe.

Soon the person in front starts to scream and rant. Enough passengers decide this man should fly the plane instead.

Why am I growing concerned that Judge Cannon is auditioning for a Supreme Court Justice nomination?

I'll never forget the events of January 6. Too many of us seemed to have forgotten the tragedy when they went to vote this last November. My hope is that in the coming years, America remembers why the peaceful transfer of power is so intricately linked to economic fairness and basic human dignity.

The Washington Post refused to publish this cartoon of Bezos and other billionaires taking a knee at Trump’s throne. The truth should not be silenced. The cartoonist resigned over the company’s censorship. Please share as you see fit:

If this cartoon is available, @democracydocket.com would like to publish it on its site.

If not, I hope @anntelnaes.bsky.social would be willing to create another one for Democracy Docket to publish. anntelnaes.substack.com/p/why-im-qui...

I guess the roulette wheel of racism has officially landed back on Indian-Americans. Myself and others were the target of this shit during the early 2000’s War on Terror BS.
In the pandemic, it was Chinese-Americans again. The war in Gaza brought a new wave of Antisemitism, and on it goes.

In a saner world, Brian Thompson would be very much alive and facing criminal trial for the shortened lives, pain and unconscionable suffering he has caused for excessive profit. That world would never know the name Luigi Mangione. May we someday create that world.

If there’s one we all know it’s that no one knows exactly what’s going to unfold after Trump is sworn in. Christ, TRUMP doesn’t even know. His impulsive ass will change his mind ten times between his bed and the bathroom that morning.

I was made for this moment. So were you. We're the ones who are here. There's no one else. Freedom is counting on us. I'm glad. I'm up to it. What are we supposed to do, say we have bone spurs and let someone else bear the burden? Hell no. Too many people before me made the ultimate sacrifice.

Excellent article detailing 2024 voter perceptions. For the first time, Dems were seen as caring more about cultural issues over promoting the middle class. A big thing we need to change going forward . www.ft.com/content/73a1...
Trump broke the Democrats’ thermostat
The American left was sent spinning in 2016 and is yet to recalibrate

While Biden is pardoning other people, can someone ask him to have Jack Smith release all the evidence on Trump’s indictments, then pardon Jack Smith and every other prosecutor working on those cases?

Cautiously optimistic about Biden’s Climate Bill. There are just too many jobs on the line in Red districts to make this an easy repeal for the GOP:

The guy spend a chunk of his childhood in an internment camp because our government thought he might be dangerous because he was of Japanese descent. He was also gay when you were forced to hide it. It’s been much worse for a lot of people in our history. George knows what he’s talking about.

Jack Smith’s withdrawal of his Federal cases were a real gut punch.

It’s as if there truly are two forms of law and justice, one for everyday people, one for people like Trump.

I grew up thinking America was different in this way, that we are all equal citizens. I think I was just too naive.

Read it. The conclusion is that we're not going to stop Trump, and he's not wrong, we're going to survive Trump.

And it's going to be a disaster for our federal government, our economy, our citizens, our military, our intelligence services, the rule of law and on and on. But if we fight, we survive
