Thought this year we’d get by without one of these posts… but then came Trump’s late-night “Happy Thanksgiving” rant. His dangerous rhetoric continues to divide this country when we need unity the most.

This is almost word for word what xenophobes in the 1930s and 1940s said about Miller's Jewish ancestors and relatives. He's so hateful he couldn't possibly recognize that of course.
Stephen Miller is now arguing that assimilation is fundamentally impossible and that certain cultures are not compatible with Western civilization

A grassroots movement is calling on all Americans to abstain from shopping at Target, Amazon, and Home Depot during the holiday weekend over their support for Trump's authoritarian policies.

🧵 1/3 Anyone else notice that Vaccines.gov the federal vaccine locator is just… broken?

And honestly, would any of us be shocked if it never comes back, given that HHS took it over from CDC this summer?

CDC Quietly Turned Off Its Vaccine Search Tool. It’s Not Clear When It’s Coming Back.
“I have heard that they are planning to ‘update it’ and shudder to think what that will mean,” Demetre Daskalakis, a former member of CDC leadership, told NOTUS.

We are watching the rule of law corrode from within, not through mob violence but through lawyers in tailored suits who have discovered that the Constitution can be bypassed if enough people pretend not to notice.

Why are billionaires buying up media outlets?

As a media mogul, you can effectively hedge against democracy by suppressing criticism of yourself and other plutocrats and discouraging any attempt to tax away your wealth.

They picked the wrong veteran to screw with.
I swore an oath to the Constitution in 1986. I've upheld it through 25 years of service and every day since I retired.

If Trump's trying to intimidate me, it won’t work. I’ve given too much to our country to be silenced by bullies who care more about power than the Constitution.

If any of this were true, Trump wouldn't have cancelled the GDP and Jobs reports. He's a delusional liar.
Trump: "We're leading in everything. Our auto plants are pouring back into our country. Wait until you see the jobs coming with them. But they're, many of them are under construction."

Mark Kelly knows exactly what political violence looks like. The fact that the Pentagon is investigating him for urging troops to refuse illegal orders, even as Trump calls for political enemies to be punished, shows how dangerous this administration has become.
Mark Kelly: "My wife, Gabby Giffords, meeting with her constituents, shot in the head. Six people killed around her, a horrific thing. She spent six months in the hospital. We know what political violence is and we know what causes it too, The statements that Donald Trump made incites others."
