The best time would have been before now, but this is now a really great time for some journalists to stop giving a shit about access and hold these assholes accountable for blatantly lying through their teeth about a national security breach.

Fascists believe that truth is rooted in power—not reality.
Abusers lie to our faces not because they even believe their own lies, they lie because the point is they are stronger than us and their version of truth wins.

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too.

Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more.

Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.

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