Democrats aren’t helpless. They have tools at their disposal that can grind Senate business to a halt if the GOP tries to ram through Trump’s extreme agenda: indivisible.org/resource/how...

President Trump's funding freeze is a good reminder to get acquainted with Russ Vought, the bureaucrat furiously working to realize the Trump administration's authoritarian dreams

The bureaucrat who could make Trump's authoritarian dreams real
Russ Vought has a plan to take presidential power to new heights.

I’m disappointed in all the people that were griping about Zukerburg and are still on FB and IG.

And I know that because I am on FB and IG.

It really is an addiction.

Nothing to see here.

Literally.

Download the Constitution because it no longer appears on whitehouse.gov.

When you search for it, a lot of other bullet point shit appears (ending birthright citizenship, etc).

I don’t know. But, the fact that snowflakes are gathering in impossible places on the first day of Mango Mussolini’s reign seems like a sign from the universe to me.

We are about to enter an era of extreme and dangerous culture war in the United States. How do we protect our communities and work toward a cultural ceasefire? In this piece I wrote a couple months ago, I offer one possible path. wapo.st/40q1BDn
Opinion | Libraries can help end the culture wars. That’s why they’re under fire.
Nothing threatens authoritarianism like a free, quiet place to absorb a full range of information.

- hugged my husband

- signed up to do HIV advocacy at our state Capitol

- wrote out postcards to my two senators asking them to defend and uphold the constitution

- expressed my opinion

Sometimes I like to go to Costco and buy one thing just to ask the person checking my receipt at the exit, ‘are you sure?’.

So since I remember the marriage equality fights from a decade+ ago, I remember the victory didn’t come from people saying “Don’t talk about gay people being unable to visit their dying partner in the hospital because they’re a stranger in the eyes of the law. Focus on the price of eggs.”
So then the new progressive strategy is officially "do not openly defend trans people, just deflect to economic issues instead".

Neat. I was told this was throwing trans people under the bus, but it's interesting to see people cheer it on just because it comes from a new fresh face.
