I’m sad to learn that my law school classmate, Kiah Duggins, died in the DC plane crash last night.

Kiah was an exceptionally talented civil rights lawyer and aspiring legal scholar.

I hope you’ll read about her work and the causes she cared about, some of which I’ll 🧵 below.

What an immense loss

Musk, Trump & Our Money

Trump ousted a top Treasury official for blocking Elon Musk’s cost-cutting team access to the system that pays Social Security, Medicare, tax refunds, and federal contracts.

They’re not just coming for government waste—they’re coming for our money.

Lucky to have JB! 💙
Gov JB Pritzker (R-IL) signs order prohibiting Jan 6 rioters from state employment in Illinois:

“I hereby direct CMS to apply the State Personnel Code and consider
any participation in the January 6 insurrection as infamous and disgraceful conduct that is antithetical to the mission of the State”

This is a coup.

All information and research being scrubbed from .gov websites right now was paid for with our tax dollars.

In its place will flood disinformation designed to control minds & hearts.

Oldest playbook in the world. And we fell for it: disinform, divide, disrupt = dictatorship

The TikTok shutdown was a political stunt manufactured to boost Donald Trump’s popularity.

It did not work. Many on TikTok are now turning on Trump and TikTok leadership.

I used to love reading dystopian fiction in high school.

Reaaaaally not enjoying living through dystopian reality as an adult.

Remember this day.

The last full day with a Democratic President.

We don’t know when or if we’ll ever live another day like this. 🥺

The next four years are going to be difficult, but we are the resistance.

I am not just going to give you news, I am going to share with you how we are going to hold MAGA accountable.

Stay strong. We got this.
