Please do something more than just sit there in the SOTU. The entire party should get up en masse and walk out. Take the news cycle away from this tyrant.

What these nihilistic vandals are doing to dismantle science & medicine—generations of expertise & public service & life improving benefits—is cultural revolution level national self harm. No foreign foe could inflict such brutal damage & senseless suffering on US so fast & effectively & unresisted.

You have questions. Mostly of the "What Can I Do to Resist This Coup?" variety. Choose Democracy has answers. Here's a really handy guide to the how/what/why of organizing... Share widely. Link here: choosedemocracy.us/what-can-i-do/

Here are the options on the table (which are not mutually exclusive):

1. House Dems bring articles of impeachment*

2. Senate Dems play constitutional hardball and obstruct everything

3. State AGs litigate (and prosecute) everything they can

4. Citizens march en mass

THIS
Let's all say it out loud. These people are fascists & this is a fascist take-over of the United States. You can couch your words more carefully, but the speed and ferocity of what is happening now is part-and-parcel of a coup. The GOP in Congress has surrendered. The Dems are out of their depth. 1/

Got a dream, a vision, a plan for making your family's and your neighbor families' lives better?

Let's talk with them about it. Sharpen it.

Recognize allies. Agree to push improvements together.

Cut through the obstacles.

Better (and worse) worlds are possible. The recent one is gone.

The future is more fluid & contested now than in many decades.

Many old political conventions & constraints are dead. Change is afoot.

Americans must dream, design, refine, inspire, & organize how to improve our communities at all scales & on all fronts.

Democracy like our lives depend on it.

Both my kids have relied heavily on special education programs and my wife runs a special education nonprofit, so if you tell me that the Trump assault on special education is just a “distraction” I’m going to block you into the fucking sun.

If you’re not familiar with the Nazis Aktion T4 program, please look it up.

Too many folks forget that Hitler targeted disabled people first. No one spoke up, and rampant ableism means little has changed in 80 years.

Centre disabled people in your resistance planning. We can help.
