1. Call your reps about Trump's violation of the War Powers Act

2. Demand Congress haul Hegseth etc. in for hearings/briefings on justification

3. Demand to know why the Gang of Eight was not kept in the loop.

Do it NOW.

I also think a key conclusion from all this absolutely needs to be “cis men who aren’t horrible need to be taking point on addressing this societal problem, for both practical and ethical reasons”

They're way more afraid of us organizing mostly non-violently to protect our democracy than they are of a bunch of Democrats holding a gun for the second or third time in their lives.

Also, you know: Fuck "toughening up." It's just code for "let the worst people dictate the terms of the discourse," and why the fuck would I do that? They're terrible people. I don't want to have to wallow in the fucking sewer because the worst people like to play in their own shit.

To those saying this has no impact on him -which is true- it has an impact on US. WE desperately need to see people with the courage to stand up to him & confront his cruelty directly, to his face.

Courage is contagious.

Brava, Bishop Budde. And thank you.

Thank you so much for this. I've emailed my representative and hope everyone who sees this today will contact theirs.

'Especially if he didn’t believe it. If no one didn’t say it, it couldn’t even start being true.'

If you are needing some hope today (and who isn't) please go read Ms. Valente's amazing story (and spread it around if you see fit)

'“Perhaps this is not the end of the story, then,” the Green Wind said kindly, though he wasn’t sure he believed it. It was important to say it to the brokenhearted, to the young, to everyone, even if he didn’t believe his own words.'
