I never watch 60-Minutes. But after this piece was squashed by Trump and then leaked, you know I would.

I imagine many more people will see and share this now than it it had just run as scheduled.

Thomas Jefferson said a revolution every decade was needed to sustain democracy. I never agreed—not having fought for independence or wanting war normalized. I believed we did’nt need that turmoil.

After the last 10 months, maybe TJ just had the wrong timeline.

If we all stand up to the limits of our authority, no matter how small or insignificant we may feel our actions may be, we can end this tyranny now.

If you have not yet read @rbreich.bsky.social’s Coming Up Short, pick it up today. Post memoir, part commentary, all brilliant perspective on where we are and how we got here. Thank you, Rob!
The grasshopper gets it — divide and conquer. Today’s robber barons use the same playbook. But together, we have all the power. Watch.

Scotland sounds good right now. Closer to the source (whiskey) and all. Easier than fighting for democracy. But then, being hard-headed, idealistic, romantic, and all, would I not stay and fight for the birthright I inherited as the son of immigrants, a son of liberty?

Once you decide to violate the rights of one person, no matter how you justify your actions, no one is safe.

Just started Robert Reich‘s “Coming Up Short” and delighted to read an honest, academic perspective of where we are ands how we got here. Thank you, @rbreich.bsky.social for your years of service past and present.

One of the last days to see this story in the Museum of American History before funding runs out, but thanks to our current incarnation of presidential overreach we can see it play out in real time.

Failure of powerful institutions, corporations, and media to make the tough yet clear choice — to stand up for free speech and democracy — only kicks the can down the road to an inevitable end where individuals with no power left band together and fight to reclaim power others simply gave away.

If you are not already mad as hell and scared, it is time!

With Trump suing media, bullying networks into taking comedians off the air, deploying troops to cities, extorting law firms, and weaponizing the government against political enemies, it is the 11th hour!

Show up October 18!

When @jimmykimmel.com losses his show over calling out MAGA tactics to villainize dissent and Fox is still publishing misinformation and lies in every breath, we all need to stand up for free speech and democracy. Otherwise, next time you look around for your voice, it will be gone.

In case we needed to be certain:
This Supreme Court has just confirmed that it is utterly void of legitimacy and independence.
