🚨 BREAKING: James Comey posts a video statement following his indictment

"My family and I have known for years that there are costs to standing up to Donald Trump...But I'm not afraid. And I hope you're not either...And I'm innocent. So let's have a trial and keep the faith."

There were massive protests in all the state capitals that essentially went unreported by the media. It’s time for a nation- wide strike against this regime. Our democracy is slipping away quickly

I know. There's a LOT right now. I get it, you're on outrage overload. I am too.

But knowledge is POWER.

Stay engaged, to stay informed and keep your family safe.

Call me crazy, but I think Justin Sun, a Chinese national being prosecuted for fraud by the SEC, sending Trump $18 million should be a bigger story

The direct enrichment of Trump by a foreign national weeks before he takes office has merited no coverage in the NYT or Washington Post
A Chinese national, charged with fraud by the SEC, just sent Donald Trump $18 million
Chinese Crypto entrepreneur Justin Sun paid $6.2 million for a banana — sold by Sotheby's as conceptual art — and then ate it last Friday.

I’ve been very cool towards my sister since the election; she voted for Trump. She absolutely couldn’t understand why I’d be upset. We are living in two separate worlds. How do you deal with this?

“ The Trump era is unimaginable, unthinkable, unspeakable. It is waging a daily assault on the public’s sense of sanity, decency and cohesion. It makes us feel crazy, and the restrained tone of the media compounds this feeling by failing to acknowledge it”. - Masha Gessen, Surviving Autocracy
