I think we just need to fully comprehend that a lot of these leaders just either cannot or will not keep up. My honest guess is Schumer has some prior War Powers legislation in mond, but does not understand the need to add that context. While that honestly seems like a hard task, THATS THE JOB

It is essential for the rule of law that everyone involved in this end up in prison. Nothing else is a sufficient deterrent against the intentional, repeated abuse of government power to systematically deny fundamental rights.
Gritting my teeth and watching the clock as DOJ misses its daily 5 p.m. ET deadline for giving Judge Xinis an update in the Abrego Garcia case ... 15 minutes late so far ...
This has been an ongoing project for a while, and liberals everywhere need to recognize the threat these actors pose to a liberal democracy. Rufo is a slime ball whose modus operandi is to conflate sexual perversion with LGBTQ+ communities, and has used it to push them out of education spaces.
And so here it is all laid out. The intention to overturn the Civil Rights Act,to dismantle the Dept of Education, to bankrupt leading universities, to replace liberal arts education w/something that conservatives haven’t created & don’t have the educators to create. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/07/o...

Popular or not Dems cannot bend on the need for trans people to be treated with basic humanity and respect. If we give up that because the right made trans people unpopular, we give up everything. They’ll dice us group by group like a salami. We die on this hill or we die alone in a ditch
Anyone out here have kids with an IEP? You want to check out what will happen if/when Trump tries this? I can't really comprehend the level of generational destruction this is going to cause. Folks, you need to step up and tune in. We really are in for hard times. Contact your reps, reach out.

I have a very small following so this doesn't do much, but I'm pretty angry the FCC is going after NPR. They are trying to take out their funding, without which public radio is not going be around much longer. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/30/b...
That next step is daunting, but someone needs to take them and my kids are counting on me.
Sometimes feels foolish to have become a parent in the Biden era. My kids face fewer rights, a less habitable world, and ascendant reactionaries, a grim tide only temporarily arrested. But it's also the best, most clarifying change I've ever made. How can I not fight for better? These are the stakes
