Reminiscent of large banners of the Turkmenbashi on buildings around Ashgabad. We can talk all day about how he “doesn’t mean it”, that it’s for show, but even then this is not what we want. We must continue to speak out, gather together, build community, and not be afraid to do these things.

I don't care what your party affiliation is, I don't even care anymore if you voted for Trump or not. It doesn't matter anymore. What matters is that our country is under attack from within. There is a fillibuster currently going on on the Senate Floor. www.senate.gov/legislative/...

We cannot excuse, explain away, divert attention from, or gloss over what things actually are. @ADL do better, stand in the breach, not to the side as evil expands.

“One of the curses of history
is that we cannot go back and change the course leading
to disasters, no matter how much we might wish to.
The past has its own terrible inevitability.
But it is never too late to change the future."

In Farewell Address, Biden Warns of an ‘Oligarchy’ Taking Shape in America
President Biden did not explicitly name President-elect Donald J. Trump, but his remarks went straight at the tension at the heart of the incoming White House.

South Korea was prepared to deal with their dictator because they have better laws, which we will fail to fix here if we keep blaming Garland instead of the system he was bound by. Jack Smith is trying to tell us. We should listen. www.muellershewrote.com/p/between-th...
Between the Lines of Jack Smith's Final Report
The Jack smith report does more than outline Trump's crimes; it lays bare the delays inherent in the system - and if we don’t address them - no AG will be able to hold future despots accountable.

My mantra for 2025:
Show up every day, do the next best thing, realize you won't get to everything. You might not be able to change anything, but persevere. Always work to understand the truth and help others see it. Be kind, but don't accept being steamrolled.

As cabinet nomination hearings begin today, I'm focused on Pam Bondi's tomorrow. While there hasn't been much talk about her, nobody exemplifies more of a willingness to pervert the mission of her office to the ends of the president.

Pam Bondi and the Pay-to-Play Justice System
The entire history of the attorney general nominee reveals a comfort with basing prosecutorial discretion on money, power, and proximity to the president.

Just because the cases were not completed doesn’t mean we shouldn’t talk about and remember this moment, this travesty, and never forget it.
If Donald Trump hadn’t won the presidential election in November, the Justice Department would have had ample evidence to convict him at trial of trying to obstruct the 2020 election results, special counsel Jack Smith said in a report released Tuesday.
Justice Dept. releases Trump special counsel report on Jan. 6 case

Someone once asked me how I avoid sinking into hopelessness as an environmental professional. Truth is, the only way to fight climate change, the orange Cheeto, greed, fascism, corruption, is to start small, do one thing, then another, and another, and don’t stop. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...
