“This pre-planned coup is what President Biden enables when he refuses to raise the filibuster in speeches and does not signal that this is a red line for his party.”
“It is what Republicans in right-wing media, in office, in think tanks and elsewhere enable when they make excuses for Trump, push the ‘big lie’ and refuse to repudiate violence.”
“It is what mainstream media outlets enable when they draw false equivalence between the parties, refuse to grill Republicans on their willingness to overthrow democracy and use squishy language to explain the effort to subvert democracy rather than stark, plain language.”

Talked with an elected official tonight, one with decades of experience at the city, county & state level. We discussed the movement to introduce chaos into the state- and local-level election machinery. 1/14
He indicated that thus far much of the activity has been in major-party-controlled appointed positions - state and county boards of canvassers. 2/14

Earlier today I made the decision to begin a regimen of extreme social distancing. While I am very, very healthy, I am at risk due to my age. Marcy is a few years younger, but is asthmatic and is on immunosuppressant drugs for rheumatoid arthritis. 1/12
For days I’ve been listening to official advice that we should avoid people who are sick (well...duh!!), avoid crowds, and don’t go on cruises. 🙄 2/12
Meanwhile our state is reporting zero infections, but our area is host to a major international air transport hub, two large research universities, a huge manufacturing sector with strong European and Asian ties and major Asian and Middle Eastern populations. 3/12

The morning of Nov 9, 2016 was a gut-punch. We got up, dusted ourselves off and started to fight.

Despite the conclusion we all fully expected, listening to the excruciatingly drawn-out spectacle of the GOP’s treasonous conduct throughout the 2019/20 impeachment process was yet another gut-punch.
