Nothing threatens authoritarian regimes more than act of nonviolent protest — people standing together, choosing empathy and courage, and refusing to be afraid.

That heaviness you feel after events like yesterday is real. We've all accumulated a lot of mental and emotional weight in the first year of Trump's disastrous presidency.

Trump is weak at home, and he can be stopped – so long as the domestic political logic of foreign intervention is recognized and turned against him. This act of war is about regime change in the United States. It only succeeds if Americans allow it to do so.

People think tyrants rage because they're strong. But the truth is they only rage when they know the room will absorb it. Mamdani didn't absorb it. So Trump didn't rage. Fear is the oxygen of authoritarianism. Take it away, and even a strongman starts to sound like a man. ~ Bruce Fanger ~

I guess it's called "corruption." I've never heard that before. I said wow what a beautiful word. It comes from the Latin [spicy voice] corrumpere. But it's something we're doing and we'll be doing it perhaps more than ever before

's take on Kirk is the correct one: "Political violence, unfortunately, has ramped up in this country ... I think there are people who are fomenting it in this country. I think the president's rhetoric often foments it." On point. So glad Democrats are saying this.

Everywhere I go right now, I hear the same thing: “I’m exhausted.” People who care about democracy feel like they’re in a permanent crisis loop. But here’s the truth: Democracy building isn’t regime change. It’s a long-term investment in a better world.
