When following the headlines fills me with despair, it's comforting to cuddle with a family member who remains blissfully unconcerned about fascism.
That would be Trixie (a/k/a Bat-Mite).
Fabulous idea!
The fascism we are experiencing is an EMERGENCY. It needs to be responded to with lightening speed.
The courts are helping, but lightening speed is not their thing. They weren't designed for that.
So we all need to do more to respond. Get angry. Get organized. Get creative. Get vocal.
I'm reading his book - very timely!

Trump's power grab, enabled by Elon Musk and Republicans in Congress, is eroding our democracy and hurting our communities.

Today, we have more income and wealth inequality than ever before.
But the greed of the oligarchs never stops.ย
Now, in order to get huge tax breaks, they want to cut back on Social Security, Medicaid and veterans programs.
Together we can stop them.ย We must stop them.

Here is a photo of Brad Schimel - conservative candidate for the Wisconsin State Supreme Court - standing in front of a giant blow-up doll of Donald Trump.
Wisconsin Democrats, if this doesn't energize you to defeat this guy and elect Susan Crawford, please check your pulse.
Murphy: "If we continue to observe norms, if we continue to engage in business as usual, this democracy could be gone. I don't think we have a year to save American democracy. I think the way the president is acting ... puts out democracy at immediate risk."
EXCLUSIVE: This just happened onstage in front of 6,000 Bostonians at the Dropkick Murphys concert. "This is America, no kings here!" @dropkickmurphys.com nails it again!!

I am beyond angry that BOTH of my Democrat senators voted for this. On Wednesday one of them announced she's not running again (Shaheen). Are they all so deep into the weeds they can't see the forest?
This is how Dems on the Hill need to message on Trumpโs economy instead of pussyfooting around!
โI would challenge every Republicanโฆ to explain how any of what Donald Trump has done in his 51 days in office has helped improve the lives of Americans.โ - @tarasetmayer.bsky.social
Watch thisโฆ
Elon Musk and his gaggle of unqualified, unelected, and unvetted minions are running the show at the White House, trying to turn our country into a badly run tech company.
Tell Congress: Protect our data and democracy from Muskโs overreach!

โMexico president Sheinbaum with 85% approval, strongest leader of a major democracy. Hell of a turnout in Mexico City today.โ
As hard as it is to believe anyone would willingly hire the buffoon, itโs as easy to believe everyone would want to fire him after 2 months.
Send him your pink slip (doesnโt have to be pink, bonus points to you if it is) this Saturday, 3/15.

I have warned about the rightwing attack on empathy. It is as dangerous as any attack on democracy. It is an attack on our humanity. Once you turn off empathy you can do anything.
It will accelerate in Musksโ hands. open.substack.com/pub/sherrily...
FACT: Social Security benefits STOP at age 115 as safeguards against fraud. While few people live past 115, legitimate beneficiaries can restart benefits if they prove they're still living.
Donald Trump & Elon Musk ARE LIARS & TRYING TO UNDERMINE THE CONFIDENCE IN OUR MONEY, OUR SOCIAL SECURITY. ๐ก๐คฌ
Not a landslide. Not a mandate.
