We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.
When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

Every few months now I re-read this "Who Goes Nazi?" piece from 1941 and am blown away by how it captures the people we are dealing with 80 years later.

Be sure to tell your lawmakers how #TrumpRegime assaults on #democracy are harming you personally. The more inundated they are with our stories, the more pressure to act. When the VA cancelled my appt indefinitely, I wrote to my Governor, Congressman, and both Senators.

Why is @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social election-splaining me about: “Whether or not we reach our goal will set the stage for the rest of this election.” I remember people telling him exactly what stage was being set and he kept waiting for the right pitch to swing at, now it all depends on my $$$?

These gnarly pines cling to the cliff like steel cables. Years of use, hundreds of hikers, have worn the bark smooth as a baluster, a safe anchor on a precarious path, a touchstone connecting travelers to the mountain - and each other!

Most older white men in my area are MAGA. But when one of them asked me what my shirt meant, I wasn’t in a sugar-coating mood. “With fascists running the country, every day is an act of resistance.”
Long pause. “Well that’s the truth, where’d you get it?” #resist
