Breaking:
California Gov. Gavin Newsom just called for a legislative special session to be held in Sacramento on Dec. 2, just weeks before Trump takes office, "to safeguard California values and fundamental rights in the face of an incoming Trump administration."
It will initially focus on funding state litigation around Trump administration actions that might impact civil liberties, reproductive rights, immigrant protections and climate action in the state. nytimes.com/2024/11/07/us/ne…

This is how dictators destroy free nations. They threaten those who speak against them with death. We cannot entrust our country and our freedom to a petty, vindictive, cruel, unstable man who wants to be a tyrant. #Womenwillnotbesilenced #VoteKamala

Do not obey in advance. Lesson 1, first page, of my pamphlet "On Tyranny"
ALT 1. Do not obey in advance. Most of the power of authoritarianism is freely given. In times like these, individuals think ahead about what a more repressive government will want, and then offer themselves without being asked. A citizen who adapts in this way is teaching power what it can do.
