7/ Right now, I assess our chances of stopping Trump from ending democracy semi-permanently or permanently at <20%. Why? The courts have already made clear that, at least at the highest level, they cannot and will not do their jobs. Congress has literally given its gavel over. Trump has the USAF.

I was disappointed in the number of friends who are passionately fearful of what is happening but were too busy with kid sports to attend the protest.

(🧵) I’m going to say some things that may cost me followers. That’s only appropriate, given that what I say in this thread is about exactly that: how utterly meaningless everything is right now besides saving America—because without rule of law and democracy, nothing we dream of will ever come true.

An ICE agent, who is being arrested for drunk driving and nearly killing his little kids & others, tries to stop the arrest by racially profiling the officers arresting him. Amazing to watch the courtesy given to him as he is belligerent and uncooperative

I don’t know who needs to hear this but the CDC is being eviscerated right now. America is not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight. Americans’ health data is no longer secure. Say goodbye to federal public health in any capacity. It’s a disaster. We won’t recover.

I hope smart people are quietly brainstorming how to continue this country if/when the GOP is voted out of power because there's no going back. The destruction is already too overwhelming. It's going to take some very creative thinking and a lot of nerve to do it.

Is there an FDR in the house?
