Trump’s Super Bowl interview was another display of authoritarian rhetoric, evasive answers, and self-aggrandizement, with a pro-Trump buffoon leading the discussion. His blackshirt politics are no longer subtle, just a blatant attempt to reshape democracy in his image.

The cheer I cheered to watch McConnell walk from the democrat side of the senate to the clerk and twice deliver his “No” vote for Hegseth.
McConnell sends a message
With a vote against Pete Hegseth, the former GOP leader makes clear he will be an unreliable ally of Donald Trump.

A litmus test for the future of free speech as a house resolution aims to condemn Rev Budde’s sermon at the National Prayer Service. We’ll see how this goes.

3.5% is the goal. Once 3.5% of the population engages in active resistance, change is arguably inevitable. Nonviolent protest is shown to twice as effective in attaining that 3.5% and succeed. Resistance can be protest, protest support (bail support, art supplies, food & water), sharing info.

Research featuring Carr Center's Erica Chenoweth.    Nonviolent protests are twice as likely to succeed as armed conflicts – and those engaging a threshold of 3.5% of the population have never failed ...

The 51 Republican senators who voted to advance Hegseth's nomination represent only 46% of Americans while the 47 Democrats & 2 Republicans who voted to block him represent 54%.

The GOP's Senate majority is built on minority rule, & its unfair design is a key enabler of Trump's attack on democracy

If you work for the government, don’t comply in advance. Don’t engage in broad interpretation of what does and doesn’t apply. The Air Force disbanded their Women’s Initiative Team which was a working policy group. Had nothing to do with DEI or as the new Admin calls it “meritocracy.”

On a day that McConnell’s office is overrun with calls against Hegseth, he votes yes anyway.
The near-total inability of ordinary citizens to influence decision-making leaves resistance as the sole viable response to the misuse of governmental power and unjust decisions.

Anyone else have a decision matrix with key identified points to dictate if/when your family flees a Christian nationalist society stripped of humanity and basic rights?

Don’t mind HR 78 to criminalize abortion at the national level. Nothing to see here. Look at the price of eggs!

Simultaneously stating that Trump has acted above the law and made a mockery of the justice system while handing down an unconditional, penalty-free sentence to a criminal with 34 felonies. That’s the mockery.

He has enough time to spend a night or two in jail. In solitary for his own safety.

CISA worked diligently through the election cycle to protect votes against cyber attacks despite unfiltered and ceaseless attacks fromTrump’s inner circle.

One hopes the enduring staff can still protect our elections under a Trump presidency once Jen Easterly vacates the Dir position on Jan 20.

Jen Easterly’s departure as Director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) marks the end of a transformative era in U.S. cybersecurity.

Tractor won’t start? Grab a sled and cart your hay to the back 40 for the bucks! Our goats were so happy for a new bale and some grain in this single-digit weather.

Third snow day today after our winter break. Glad the kids are ok with me stuffing them into snow gear two sizes too small (or hats jackets three sizes too big).

Shout out to West Point for the cadet knit hat and to 10th Mountain for the balaclava. And yea, the kids complain that they itch.
