Right now newsrooms need to do a better job of incorporating Constitution 101 into their news coverage. And while we're at it, maybe "Schoolhouse Rock" needs to make a comeback... cnn.it/432o0Ii

A message that people should start spreading around: don’t pivot to or practice violence in any way! Don’t even hint at! This regime is looking for any excuse to go after people. Lead with nonviolence by proclaiming it, practice it! This will help protect you from a pretexted tyranny.

I feel seen.
Word of the day is ‘matutolypea’: extreme grumpiness in the morning.

From the Latin ‘Matuta’, Roman goddess of the dawn, and the Greek ‘lype’, ‘grief’. Put them together and you get ‘morning grief’.

Today in @bocksam.bsky.social‬ 's countdown to MLK Jr. Day

The “On Tyranny” @timothysnyder.bsky.social quote resonates for me, but the phrase
"culture of denunciation"
in the illustrated text below describes exactly what we are living daily at this point.

Chapter 12 “On Tyranny” @timothysnyder.bsky.social covers public acknowledgement of those who may be ostracized. Making eye contact, offering smiles to those who may feel unwanted, uncomfortable, out of place can make a world of difference. Do not shun them. If possible, bring them into your circle.

Butker should step aside. Make his wife a sandwich. He should realize his life really started when he became a husband and a father. He should give up his day job. He should realize he’s been told diabolical lies — his place is in the home.

Finland is teaching children in school how to recognize fake news and propaganda as part of critical thinking and civic responsibility. Some of this will seem very familiar.

Be. Like. Finland.

I was on the board of a nonprofit that received funding from MacKenzie Scott. Her no strings attached gift was game changing. More philanthropists need to adopt this model instead of capitalist brained ideas of efficiency that are ultimately counterproductive.

Last night Timothy Snyder talked with Rachel about the idea of a shadow government to serve as a model and reminder of what is possible from a government of qualified people instead of Fox guests and family members.

It came up twice, actually. Here's 1 of 2.
