Pro tip: call the Project 2025 1-800 number and complain about it to them. The people answering the phones don’t seem to know what the plan even is.

It's not every day that senators ask the attorney general to appoint a special counsel to criminally investigate a sitting Supreme Court justice.
What's more, the case against Clarence Thomas is quite credible. www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

Trump raped a woman, was revealed as being in constant contact with a sex trafficker, stole nuclear secrets, is old, forged electoral certificates, was convicted of 34 felonies, committed fraud, is literally on the Saudi payroll, sent a mob to hang his VP but the opponent is also old.

Real hope isn't a passive thing, you know; no, hope is a crucial step in the natural process of repair. You can't fix a thing until you have the conviction it should be fixed, and the expectant determination to fix it—and if that doesn't describe hope, I don't know what does.

The US only began to approach genuine democracy with the Civil Rights Act in 1964; in 1973, women gained some access to the Declaration of Independence's "inalienable rights" when we finally gained some control over our own bodies. Maybe our grandchildren will get a chance to give it another go.

I've lived in an authoritarian country (Saudi) and the lesson I take from it is that most of us will be fine--many of us will even prosper. But folks on the margins are in for a level of cruelty that's incomprehensible right now. At least now we know what our generation's great struggle will be.

When I was writing HOW WE FIGHT FOR OUR LIVES, I privately debated leaving some chapters out. I thought writing about kids asking me if I was saved at the lunch table or my private panic about Matthew Shepard would be too dated to be relevant to readers by the time the book came out in 2019. ALAS.
