It's critical to keep naming these losses, not in the spirit of "can you believe what they're doing," but to remember what's being lost. I've taught students from countries that erase the past, and they're stunned to learn of major events in their own countries. That's the fascist goal here.

In recent years, Judge Boasberg has:
- ordered the release of Hillary’s emails
- ensured Trump’s tax returns never became public
- restricted disclosure from the Mueller investigation
- limited disclosure of grand jury material in the Trump classified docs case.
The resistance, he ain’t.

Leavitt: This judge is a Democrat activist. He was appointed by Barack Obama
Reporter: He was originally appointed by George W. Bush and elevated by Obama. Feel I should clear that up.

Reading the DOE letter demanding schools drop DEI to get federal funds is one of the ugliest letters I've ever seen from a a federal department. I've never seen something so twisted to hurt minority groups. (I should say in my lifetime, there have been some horrific policies before dictator 🍑🤡)

Trump wants you to forget that he gutted the Aviation Safety Committee and ousted the FAA administrator during his first week in office.

2 days ago Trump quoted Napoleon and claimed to be above the law.
Yesterday Trump declared that only he and his attorney general have the authority to say what the law is.
Today Trump called himself a king.
He’s not joking. He’s normalizing that he’s a dictator, while his obedient peasants cheer.

People love sharing the memes about how we need to remember service members who aren’t home for Thanksgiving. Hell, some of my best memories of my service was Thanksgiving down range, on duty, or overseas. Usually the food was great, the laughs were loud, and the camaraderie appreciated.
