Kamala Harris: The courage of Americans who are speaking out to say, it is not ok to violate court orders. Saying it is not ok to detain and disappear American citizens or anyone without due process. The courage of judges to uphold the rule of law in the face of those who would jail them.

Absolutely terrifying. Remember about five years ago when tweeting Handmaids Tale memes was all the rage?
Well, we are way beyond memes now.

Get your house in order. See to your safety.
It doesn’t stop you from speaking out. Be smart.

If y'all haven't caught on I'm going to annoy the shit out of y'all with examples on how democracy is being fought for and saved on the local level.

I want to unshackle y'all from the thinking that only the national horse race matters.
The GOP in Minnesota tried to steal a state house seat, with the house split evenly.

Lawsuits were filed, and it got kicked up to the state Supreme Court, who sided against the GOP.

Last night Timothy Snyder talked with Rachel about the idea of a shadow government to serve as a model and reminder of what is possible from a government of qualified people instead of Fox guests and family members.

It came up twice, actually. Here's 1 of 2.

Right. Here's your to-do list for the next two months to put you in the best possible position to survive what's coming:

1. Renew your passport (or apply for a passport) this week even if it is not expiring in the next four years. Renewing early will give you the maximum 10-year validity period.
