Been saying this since February, even before I got arrested for protesting. People want Dems to fight, and it’s time to show up.
Among Democrats - "Do you support Democrats like Sanders and AOC who call for a more aggressive stance towards Trump, or moderate Democrats who are willing to compromise with Trump issues important to their base?"

AOC/Bernie: 70%
Moderate Dems: 30%

Lots of the comments here are taking this post to mean "she wasn't kidnapped" when what's being pointed out is that "regular," "lawful" arrests are a lot more like kidnapping than is convenient to recognize.

(And some people here have clearly never heard of civil asset forfeiture...)

I can't with people saying, "no, don't resist, they'll do violence and impose martial law."

Uh, geniuses, they're already doing violence. It just hasn't reached YOU yet. And S. Korea literally just road mapped this for us. They can try us. If we lock arms & protect each other, we prevail.

1) The rate of sepsis rose more than 50%

2) they don’t break down data by race here—we need that info (generally BW’s maternal death rate is 3x that of WW, Native W is 2x)

3) they looked at hospital data. So missing greatest cause of pregnant/postpartum death: Murder. Abuse skyrockets w/pregnancy.
Dozens more pregnant and postpartum women have died in Texas hospitals since the state banned abortion, our analysis shows.

As the maternal mortality rate dropped nationally, it rose in Texas by 33%.
Texas Banned Abortion. Then Sepsis Rates Soared.
ProPublica’s first-of-its-kind analysis is the most detailed look yet into a rise in life-threatening complications for women experiencing pregnancy loss under Texas’ abortion ban.

Just a reminder: having a functional moral compass right now is going to make you feel bad all the time; don’t mistakenly hate yourself for that.

Their faith lets them worship power while they’re offended by mercy. It’s not Christianity they’re practicing.

An LA organizer I trust shared this General Resource Spreadsheet with me. It includes nonofficial shelters and other resources for people affected by the LA fires.

I am a climate scientist and this is correct ⬇️
Occasional reminder that there’s no, “it’s too late, its over” for anthropogenic climate change. Every molecule of CO2 that doesn’t go into the atmosphere makes a difference. Preventing 0.1 degree of warming makes a difference. Every bit of climate resilience we build together makes a difference.

Maura Healey says she’s gonna use all the tools to protect immigrants from Trump so I sure hope she read this op-ed about exactly what Massachusetts can do to reduce ICE enforcement (article in comments)

Again, there are 40 men currently on federal death row, a number of whom will certainly be executed under Trump, whose sentences Biden has the power to commute.

Make sure he knows they're waiting to hear from him, too.

People need to ground themselves right now. Moving into an era of shock and awe politics in a reactive state will not yield anything worthwhile. What centers you? What gives you strength? Your friends? The land? The water? This is a time to tap into what heals and calms us.

speaking of pardons....

President Biden still has the power to free Indigenous activist Leonard Peltier.
This Thanksgiving, Biden Should Grant Clemency to Leonard Peltier
By Amy Goodman & Denis Moynihan Amnesty International has campaigned for Peltier’s release for decades. The group recently sent a letter to President Biden, reiterating their demand.
