This is how our government has been corrupted:
1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat
We must get big money out of politics.
It is the root of our dysfunction.

Here is my best guidance for action, rendered beautifully by the great John Lithgow. I first published these lessons more than eight years ago, in late 2016. They open the twenty chapters of "On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century."

This country is becoming unrecognizable. What we’re seeing is state-funded fear. We’ve warned people: keep filming, go live on social media so these moments are documented and shared. This wasn’t a case involving masked ICE agents—but that’s happening too.

Let’s be clear. When the President defies the Supreme Court, it is the role of Congress to remove him from office. Full stop.

NEWSFLASH: At least 12 members of Congress are flying Appeal to Heaven flags outside their offices.
Great reporting from @marabim.bsky.social tracking Congress & January 6th symbolism.
The ATH flag is a symbol of Christian supremacy & political-spiritual warfare.

Donald Trump has turned his back on Americans. The price of everyday items has gone up, he’s eliminating protections for our most vulnerable communities, and he’s making it harder for people to live their daily lives.
We do not have to accept this as normal.

Instead of doing anything meaningful to lower prices for Americans, the Trump Tax on Working Families is an extreme escalation against our closest allies that will raise prices just to give Elon Musk and his wealthiest friends a tax break.

JFC, Fulbright scholar not accused of any crime, no immigration violation, no reason to expect any violence -- just Marco Rubio's whim -- and instead of summoning her first step is no-uniform / no-ID guys in masks and hoodies grabbing her off a public street.
Not sure if this has been shared here yet, but this is video of Rumeysa Ozturk's arrest posted by WCVB. It's terrifying.

The ACA cut the number of uninsured in half, expanded coverage, and guaranteed protections for preexisting conditions. It's one of the most impactful health care laws in our history—and now it’s under attack. We must fight to protect it. #ACASavesLives
