We are special snowflakes defending civil rights, affordable healthcare, education,the environment & all that's good & just; Putting the freeze on Trumpocracy
This thread from BEFORE the election is now a checklist of behaviors we have seen and will continue to see.
I recommend pinning it and checking back. It will make us all feel a lot less crazy to live through if we know it's really happening. https://t.co/tJRrDeVXKr
Trump’s “nuclear button” tweet was juvenile and alarming, but there’s more to it. @eosnos posits that it helped Kim Jong Un. China, too. "In the long term," he writes, "Trump’s outbursts erode America’s credibility as a source of steady, wise leadership." https://t.co/S0OtCwAnwH

Don't wait until November to think about voting. Primary elections will be here in March. Time to research candidates for judicial seats, local offices, and U.S. House & Senate candidates. Every office counts. Every vote matters. Your vote is your voice.
$300 Million in a no-bid contract awarded to a hometown company with two employees? Looks like prima facie cronyism and corruption to me. https://t.co/XiAlTW3sZv
The red monstrosity on this map is my district,how my vote is diluted, why I have a Dem mayor, councilwoman, state rep & sen, but GOP US rep https://t.co/1fLK4Zhml4
