The beautiful spot on the Bay of Fundy where I absorbed yesterday's heartbreaking news from Congress. The nonhuman world is a huge help these days.

Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe, vulnerable, and alone.

But when we find ourselves surrounded by courageous people and brave institutions, we can more easily find courage inside ourselves.

This is the beauty of solidarity.

I'm really curious what procedural steps you see the minority party being able to use now, to remove DOGE or anything else?

I have lots of criticism of the Dems for their part in how we got here, but the Repubs are in power. The useful actions Dems can take now are largely outside of the system.

I don't wish violence on anyone, and these people should quit doing work that is deeply immoral.
