I was interviewed today re: the relevance of the Declaration of Independence

People think "When in the Course of Human Events" is the imp't part. The preamble.

But the meat is the long list of sins the King committed vs the colonists.

They believed their rights were being violated by a tyrant.

Don’t let them scare you.

Don’t let them get you to give up hope.

This is what they want more than anything.

Their evil is never more alive than when we sleep.

If you let the executive deport people to a foreign gulag just by pronouncing the word “terrorism,” then expect to be called a “terrorist” soon yourself.

The news cycle is exhausting. Friends tell me to tune it out but I can't. "My desire to be well-informed is currently at odds with my desire to remain sane.”

I need a constructive way to channel my rage. To be a small force for good. Tell me how you do this. How are YOU making good trouble?

Democracy doesn’t die by accident. It’s dismantled—step by step, law by law, norm by norm.

Trump, Vance, and Musk are playing a game without rules. If we keep acting like the old rules still apply, we lose.

This isn’t an analysis of democratic decline.

You might not see it in the mainstream media, but over 10,000 people protested today at Tesla showrooms across the country, another 10,000+ rallied in support of national parks, and more than 1,000 gathered in Vermont to protest Vance’s visit.

For anyone wondering why Donald Trump refuses to criticise Putin, while hectoring Zelenskyy, here is my piece about the US president's 1987 trip to Moscow. Trump's visit was arranged by the ... KGB. Extract comes from my #1 New York Times-bestselling book 'Collusion' www.politico.com/magazine/sto...
The Hidden History of Trump’s First Trip to Moscow
In 1987, a young real estate developer traveled to the Soviet Union. The KGB almost certainly made the trip happen.

America,

This is our Germany 1933 moment.

Decide who the f*ck you're gonna be, what you stand for, what you want your legacy to be—and how you are going to respond.

This is beyond party, beyond country.

This is about our collective humanity.

I've said it before and will say it again -- the Trump administration is not acting like one that fears democratic accountability next year or in 2028. Draw your own conclusions.
it's still just striking to me that we're five weeks into this, and neither trump nor musk are offering up any treats, to anyone. everything is bad news. everything makes life harder. the only thing they're offering is a tax cut for *extremely* wealthy people, at the expense of *everyone* else.

Trump is an international disgrace. The way he treated Zelensky was un-American. Only a traitor who is Putin's puppet would be this horrible. Unforgivable.

Red states, the ball's in your court! I call my reps often, but I'm preaching to the choir.

Your voice has power. Call your reps & ask why they're allowing vets & elders to lose healthcare, firing scientists, wrecking the DOE & gutting our NPS. Tell them you're watching, hold them accountable.

I can't think of a faster way to undermine the country than simultaneously firing government workers, cutting scientific research, rolling back protections on public health & environment, & cutting essential services. It's like the US was defeated in war and is being occupied by a hostile enemy.

I desperately wish @petebuttigieg.bsky.social would do daily war room briefings! Make MAGA own this dumpster fire. Tell us what dems are doing about it and how we can help.

The press will pay attention. It will raise awareness + unite and bolster folks who are losing hope.
