Many don’t realize that the first people Hitler sent to his concentration camps weren’t everyday Jewish citizens, but his political opponents. So, when Trump rants about retribution, locking up his opponents, and giving them “very long sentences,” I can’t help but take him seriously… because history teaches us that is what fascist dictators do during their “Day One” period to consolidate their power. (After all, if you’re hellbent on staying in power but aren’t likely to win the next election, you can’t have your political opponents running around free.)
To keep fascism out of our lives, vote for democracy!
Bad debate nights happen. Trust me, I know. But this election is still a choice between someone who has fought for ordinary folks his entire life and someone who only cares about himself. Between someone who tells the truth; who knows right from wrong and will give it to the American people straight — and someone who lies through his teeth for his own benefit. Last night didn’t change that, and it’s why so much is at stake in November. https://t.co/Tn2TQu5Djo
once again, my mom doesn't have power again in austin because the soviet-style grid is down
it goes down in the winter when it's freezing and in the summer during heat waves
but at least the state is banning books and harassing trans kids

For those asking about my statement on the indictment of Donald Trump - who never said sorry for calling for my execution - here it is:
Karma
I just want to make a few things clear:
The Holocaust happened.
Hitler was a demonic figure.
And instead of giving it a platform, our political leaders should be calling out and rejecting antisemitism wherever it hides.
Silence is complicity.
President Biden's announcement today about student loan debt relief has upset some people who believe it's unfair. I acknowledge that resentment, and also, while we're on the subject of unfairness, I have some thoughts for your consideration. (thread)
If Fox News doesn't broadcast the #January6thCommittee hearing, then they shouldn't be allowed back in the WH Briefing Room as a legitimate news organization.
White supremacy is a poison running through our body politic.
We need to say as clearly and forcefully as we can that the ideology of white supremacy has no place in America.
Failure to do so will be complicity. Silence will be complicity. We cannot remain silent.
