If we don’t oppose Trump aggressively enough, we might lose our democracy. But if we oppose him too aggressively, we might lose something even more important: our norms.

We all like to yell at the Democrats, but it’s really Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune who are letting Elon Musk and his faceless goon squad make a mockery of their power as leaders of a coequal branch without uttering a peep or lifting a finger.

Don’t have a unified theory yet on why Elon’s so invested in euroscepticism. What does he get out of Europe being blown apart politically?

Tesla Cybertruck sales are disastrous

- despite 1 million pre-orders, demand has evaporated

This very British type of complacency is infuriating and reminiscent of the useless Remain campaign in 2016, which failed to learn that the lying, manipulative hard Right doesn’t play by the same ethical rules as nice folk, has no sense of honourable conduct and sees fair play as weakness.

My god. It’s happening. A post-Bashar Syria.

The transition starts now. Make no mistake: it will be incredibly rocky.

But today, take a beat to hear the soft, human joy of many Syrians as they cry, embrace, learn if wrongly jailed loved ones survived & vow “now we can go home.” 🧵

At what point do they decide that Putin’s been even more damaging to Russia’s power and prestige than Gorbachev?

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism.

We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive
