It is much easier to unite people around a common hate than it is to unite people around a multifaceted love. The latter coalition will last much longer than the former, but it is also harder to build. So if you’re feeling discouraged in this moment, let’s recognize this IS hard. But not impossible.

Showing us yet again that resistance requires community. And community is forming!!!
ICYMI: I talked to federal employees across eight agencies about the internal chaos they're experiencing because of Trump/Musk and how they feel going forward in their jobs.
A clear theme? They are scared -- and also pissed and digging in for a fight.
