Evil, I think, is the absence of empathy. Husband. Parent. Believer in defending democracy, loving your neighbor (which includes strangers), and vehemently against fascism.
What intimidation and ruthlessness can accomplish in a former democracy. We’re going to have to fight it with every tool available to us.

In today’s Letter, @hcrichardson.bsky.social describes this regime’s recently published NSS. An extension of Project 2025. The world, and America, will be less safe inviting dictatorships to subsume other countries. Explicit racist policy. This is not America. We can be better.

And now, the worlds ugliest trophy for the worlds most famous sexual predator.

Trump’s an actual toddler. Grabs woman’s private parts without asking, and he shits himself if he doesn’t get a shiny new toy every 5 minutes. (Probably shits himself even if he does, if we’re being honest)
this shit is just beyond parody, man

I've always said that I would not shirk away from acknowledging any time someone from this regime said something I agree with. But also, really?!

Reminder that Tom Cotton has been described as "probably the worst, most dangerous vet currently occupying a seat in the United States Congress."

Q: What did you see in the second strike?

Cotton: "I saw two survivors trying to flip a boat -- loaded with drugs, bound for the United States -- back over, so they could stay in the fight."

In today's Letter, @hcrichardson.bsky.social shows how the MAGA regime is both a trainwreck for America but also turning on itself as their incompetence and inconsistency hit MAGA voters. This is the time to keep the pressure up on your elected officials and keep making your voice heard.

Reminder about Jan 6:

it really happened
It was a horror
140+ police were injured
A range of violent weapons were used by attackers
Chants to hang Mike Pence were heard
There was a gallows and guns
Pipe bombs diverted police as mob approached

In today’s Letter, @hcrichardson.bsky.social describes a man unfit for office and a regime wholly unqualified for their responsibilities. It’s a criminal enterprise without a moral compass. Never forget there are significantly more of us than there are of them. Stick together. Remain engaged.

Habba: There were individuals that were saying that this should be a safe harbor, a safe haven. Why? America is America because we protect our own.

In today’s Letter, @hcrichardson.bsky.social cites example after example of how our efforts to resist and overcome this corrupt and criminal regime are working. “Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.” Try…

In today’s Letter, @hcrichardson.bsky.social describes what evil people are capable of. If evil is a lack of empathy for others, then the wholesale betrayal of American values in the form of supporting a murderous govt or murdering non-combatants in international waters demonstrates that evil.

How to get rid of Citizens United?

We can do away with it without a new Supreme Court. Nor do we need a constitutional amendment.

There’s a far simpler way. Let me explain: https://robertreich.substack.com/p/how-to-get-rid-of-citizens-united

This epic takedown of Trump’s entire cabinet by Jen Psaki would be funny if millions of lives weren’t hanging in the balance because of his no good, incompetent, unqualified, reckless, corrupt, unserious, and flat out dangerous picks.

In today’s Letter, @hcrichardson.bsky.social reminds us we’ve been in a similar situation before: wrecked economic, massive wealth inequality, an immoral minority in power. She also reminds us we’ve have power. Lots of it. When leveraged in concert towards common goals, Americans can be unstoppable.

Holy $hit! Against a sitting member of Congress. I know I go on about "they'll" do anything, but somehow it doesn't stop me from being shocked.
