i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.

Opportunities are everywhere.

Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

Nazis have one place they should be allowed to gather: a cemetery
One thing about me is that I will fight Nazis until I’m six feet in the ground.

Over 100 refugees who were scheduled to be resettled in Indiana have seen their flights canceled in the last two days. Refugees make our state stronger, and the bipartisan support for U.S. refugee resettlement has been a pillar of our nation for over a century.

Spent the day locked in a windowless, soundproof room recording the Everything Is Tuberculosis audiobook.

Great day not to be able to hear anything from the outside world.

The world's richest man managed to take $190 million away from a *child cancer research center* with his posts yesterday. Funding now stripped in the new bill.

You are disillusioned to believe this reaction is about healthcare. Clearly, that’s a part of it. I see the reaction a symptom of a dying society. To believe we are still at the stage where voting will help, is ridiculous. We lost power to influence our representatives long ago.
Our healthcare system can be fixed politically -- murdering people is not necessary. Yes, people voted against reform just last month, but people are far from unpersuadable on this issue.

The progressive left had a very difficult year electorally.

We lost several very strong seats in Congress - some of the only voices that stood for Palestinians. Didn’t pick up much.

We can reflexively blame others/the system or we can re-tool, look inward, figure out where to build and go next.
