Thanks!
I encourage you to follow @thesteadystate.org -400 former nat sec officials sounding the alarm! I just discovered this in The Guardian newspaper. They're alarmed by the lies + obfuscation from this Pentagon, unlike any other/ in any previous war. Lies about wounded KIA/ lack of info/lack of access.

We are deciding right now whether we want to be a country with ethnic cleansing and concentration camps.
What's more shocking than ICE's plan to cram as many 8,500 humans into massive, soul-crushing warehouses? Seeing the actual DHS floor plan that echoes slavery ships and history's worst gulags with no rec space but a gun range for guards My new column on the camps www.inquirer.com/opinion/ice-...
ICE has a curious relationship with Christianity.
ICE’s acting director ordered a Boston Catholic parish to tear down its Advent Nativity scene—stripped of baby Jesus and branded with the message “ICE WAS HERE.” The parish priest is refusing, citing he pope’s call to stand with migrants. It's another chapter in Kristi Noem's war on Christians.
Honor. Dignity. Humanity. These things are not traitorous.
Suggest that before anybody posts their views on how the US military treats unlawful orders, they read this training slide deck. We expect it from our service men and women, not too much to ask of BlueSky posters. #holdfast (docs.google.com/presentation...)

1/ New report from @bentleyallan.bsky.social's Net Zero Policy Lab: As the US withdraws from green tech industries and pressures allies to follow suit, China is stepping in to power the developing world's energy transition. The scale is staggering. www.netzeropolicylab.com/china-green-...

Well said @raskin.house.gov
The GOP's Medicaid-busting tax scheme is filled with poison pills antithetical to the values of our people. So I wrote a proper preamble for their big, ugly bill.

Every administration official should be grilled like this, every time. Think like you're creating a record for future Nuremberg Trials. youtu.be/EwZWCk1ytPU?...

One place where the resistance can focus
ICYMI: I’m leading a constitutional amendment to undo Citizens United. After an election where a billionaire bought a seat as Shadow President, we must ensure our democracy is truly of, by, and for the people — not corporations and billionaire donors. truthout.org/articles/jay...
Well @anneapplebaum.bsky.social You nailed it, sorry to say.

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.
I just perused the msm sites. little to no mention of the bureaucratic takeover by Musk & co. A bloodless coup in plain site.
This is a hostile takeover of the federal government by a private citizen of unlimited means with no restrictions and no transparency. Welcome to the Deep State www.reuters.com/world/us/mus...

Where is Democratic leadership?
Democratic lawmakers need to understand something: Imagine your house is on fire. Fire truck shows up. Firefighters get out. They look at the fire, then at you, and say: "Such a fire is a grave threat. This house will not sustain." And just stand there. This is how many of you are coming across.
Where is Democratic leadership?
Yes, they are violating the law. They are also responsible for enforcing the law, which they won't do. Therefore, law enforcement and preservation of the Republic will require either external enforcement from non-Trump-aligned government elements or acceptance of autocracy. Those are the choices.
Thomas Jefferson stated this assumption frequently: “A well informed citizenry is the best defense against tyranny.” @joycewhitevance.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...
As usual David Brooks poses the right question. In this case, why can’t we focus on what matters? www.nytimes.com/2025/01/15/o...

We are facing a moment when much will change for the worse, not just in policy, but in the structure of politics itself. We need to be imagining a better America. A Shadow Cabinet would be a positive form of opposition. snyder.substack.com/p/shadow-cab...
