Politics and science, that's it.

Child of the 50s and 60s, I'm not prepared for this. Too bad, it's all hands time for anti-authoritarians and anti-fascists.

Good time for all of us to take the oath to the Constitution. The appropriate attitude and actions will then become clear.

"I do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic."

THIS…is the mindset. THIS…is the attitude. THIS…is the fire in the gut….that we are going to ALL have to adopt. I have. Have you? We can’t have people sit this one out…and still prevail.

I want you to think about what it means for the criminal president to be the primary source of economic instability, disorder and chaos while at the same time you, a normal law-abiding person, are doing everything you can do get ahead or just tread water.

Do you feel resentful? You should.

FIRST WHITEBOARD

The bleak report on Dem voter registration numbers plummeting brought me back to my first whiteboard, almost four years ago, warning about how this could happen. Fast.

Dems must do the work. Big time. To battle this decline.

More to come

Some speak up. We owe them.
More than 180 FEMA employees accuse the administration of putting “uninformed cost-cutting” above protecting people during natural disasters.

The letter states that some FEMA staff have been reassigned to work at ICE, with anyone who refuses to transfer being "threatened with termination."

The 19th Amendment was ratified on this day in 1920, barring voting discrimination based on sex. But for women of color, the right to vote wasn’t fully realized until the Voting Rights Act of 1965.

105 years later, we're still fighting for equal ballot access for all.

I celebrate every victory for voting rights, but this one is particularly special. No issue has been more hotly contested or more important to PA voters than this one. The DSCC and DCCC fought hard and it is great to see them prevail. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Every loss is felt deeply, and this is no exception. Mariam Dagga was an exceptional visual journalist; her photos were something else. She was my age—I try to imagine what it was like for her to send her son to safety and remain behind…it’s difficult. Unimaginable brutality. Idk what else to say

A careful study of every populist episode since 1900 finds catastrophic consequences, which play out slowly.

On average, incomes fall behind by nearly 15% over 15 years.

For the U.S., this is a cost of about $13k per person per year. Over a lifetime, that's million bucks.

You are living through the unthinkable: the president of the United States using the military to seize domestic power. The greatest crisis of executive power in American history, at the hands of the worst, most corrupt, and most unfit president in American history.

Thank you, Your Honor, and way to go, Utah! The state’s Legislature will now be forced to quickly redraw its congressional districts after a judge ruled Monday that lawmakers had sidestepped voter-approved safeguards designed to prevent partisan gerrymandering.
