Democracy dies in oligarchy.

- Reposted by Thom MitchellIt should be crystal clear to anyone with eyes and ears that Trump is DETERMINED to subvert free and fair elections in America. But in America, state and local governments run elections. So Trump can kick rocks. Still, ALL of Congress must be VIGILANT.
- Trump: "These people were brought to our country to vote, & they vote illegally. The Republicans should say, we should take over the voting in at least 15 places. The Republicans ought to nationalize the voting. We have states that I won that show I didn't win. You're gonna see something in Georgia"

- Reposted by Thom MitchellOne thing I believe, as a white person, is far too many white people forget the debt that activism in the US owes generally to the Civil Rights movement, and how much the instruments of power that Stephen Miller is trying to extend across the country are those of Jim Crow.

- For the record I miss snow days. 17"+ of snow and I still have hours of meetings because the other attendees don't have as much, or any snow. The upside of all that snow is after I finish digging out this evening I won't need a separate workout.

- Reposted by Thom MitchellKristi Noem delivers some serious “We’ve always been at war with Eastasia” vibes. The Trump administration doesn’t view Orwell’s “1984” as dystopian novel, but rather as an instruction manual.

If u think I'm crazy well you have refused to pay attention to the evidence of your eyes & ears for the past decade. We have to use all our powers to stop them. Go on offense. Legally & peacefully.

- Reposted by Thom MitchellWe just saw this, and it’s a good idea for businesses to post. Private businesses are allowed to set dress and conduct rules.
