I don't know where I am, metaphorically speaking.

Well, a civilization died tonight.
It was ours. Congress didn't step up and stop him. No one in power invoked the 25th Amendment to remove him. We failed, utterly, as a civilization.
I love ProPublica and the work that it does! But there is no ProPublica without its journalists.
Join me in unsubscribing from @ProPublica until the strike is resolved in favor of the striking workers.

Here's an easy way to call your elected officials if you have not done so before:
This is the president of the United States of America ruminating about commanding a #genocide on social media. This is a threat of nuclear annihilation, at least for Iran, perhaps for the whole world. This is nuclear brinkmanship without self-awareness.
If you are a US citizen, please call your representative and senators ASAP to demand that this madman be removed before he starts #WorldWarIII !
I don't know if you and others in your feed have seen this, but it is exceptional slam poetry.
It's about all women.
I don't know the artist's name.
But I should.

It's easy for constituents in Blue states to say "My rep can't do anything!" and in Red states to say "My rep doesn't care!"
In Blue states: ask them what they are doing to persuade their colleagues or sway public opinion. If they can't win a vote, they can do other things.
In Red states: if we call them enough and organize in public, some might start caring (unlikely but remember #EpsteinAct), some staffers might quit (which hinders them), and we lay groundwork for future action.
