I have a sick kid, so could someone else put together a list of congresspeople for Marylanders to call? I think we need to demand a united opposition in addition to protest on individual insane unconstitutional orders.

Rebecca Solnit, Jamelle Bouie have good analysis below the inspirational quote. Where is the united legislative opposition? That's the only way to push back legislatively once he gets there.

Week Three: The Pushback
I think of this as primarily a site for more thoughtful essayistic stuff but I was doing one of those news roundup in-the-moment things I do on FB and thought I should maybe try doing it here.

Whenever the media or transphobes talk about mental health and suicide rates of trans kids, they are always deliberately concealing the fact that trans healthcare brings trans kids to the same place as cis kids on these things

Since we love the little canine echoes from the past, here’s another lovely one from a dog in ancient Ur.
The cuneiform inscription names king Ur-Nammu who ruled around 2100 BCE.
The accidental paw prints are such a delight 🐾 www.britishmuseum.org/collection/o...

elon musk directed the primary regulator of his primary business -- a federal contractor -- to resign. he holds no office other than 'president's largest donor.'
at an oligarch's command, he resigned. one week later, the first aviation crash in the last sixteen years happened.

I would suggest people look up not just McCarthyism but the Mississippi State Sovereignty Commission. We have our own homegrown examples of what we are witnessing.
There’s something to be said about how Americans can only conceptualize of bad things as Nazi/Soviet and how that’s just made them completely incapable of placing them into a true historical and political context
“One administration employee who received the email urging employees to report their colleagues said it made them feel as though they were being recruited into the Gestapo. Another employee told The Times that the directive to report colleagues made him feel as if he was living in the Soviet Union.”

It should prob be remembered that “birthright citizenship” was the product of the abolitionist mvt, which understood that no person of color would be safe from deportation or bondage if their citizenship could be questioned or taken away
