It’s not fair.
It’s not fair that we can’t trust the average publication to tell us what matters anymore.
It’s not fair that we have to be knowledgeable about political procedure.
It’s not fair that there isn’t a trusted place to go to see who we should be paying attention to.

If Congress caves on the SNAP issue, it will be like blowing out a birthday candle but ignoring the blowtorch of losing the supplement that pays for health care premiums. Support your local food banks. Help your neighbors. Resist together.

If you don't like being harangued by hyperventilating talking heads, take a moment here to risk being bored by Chris Murphy. But seriously, he is calm and rational and absolutely devastating as he lays out the path we are on. Resist.
We aren't on the verge of an authoritarian takeover. We are in the middle of it.
But I worry people don't see the whole scheme. They just pay attention to each new daily outrage. So I went to the Senate floor to explain Trump's plan.
Here's a 🧵of the speech. It's important.

I really, REALLY wish people would internalize the absolute stranglehold voter suppression and gerrymandering have over many red states with high BIPOC populations (who reliably vote blue) before consistently writing off these entire states and saying shit like “they deserved it”.

I think the weird thing about this is that I was born only 16 years later, and WWII always felt like ancient history to me. I look back 16 yrs now and it seems uncomfortably close. Horrific devastation followed by astonishing progress in what was really a very short time. I'm aghast yet hopeful. 1/
