Thank you CNN for pointing out that everyone opposed to this regime has normal, pro-social links to the organizations that make up a liveable society where you can do normal shit.
Next article you can talk about how the vice president, by contrast, is in nazi groupchats with minors

The woman killed by an ICE agent in Minneapolis last week served on the board of her son’s school, which linked to documents encouraging parents to monitor ICE and directing them to training. https://cnn.it/49yoNEa

They think they can murder anyone.
Don’t forget, Trump said he could shoot someone on 5th Ave and not lose any votes.
They shot a scared mom in the face three times.
And they’re lying about her, calling her a domestic terrorist.
They think they can literally do anything.
Anything.

I really can't emphasize enough that if you care about local politics, all you gotta do is show up. Just a regular schmegular person showing up. Literally just show up consistently in person and within a remarkably short amount of time, you will have a shocking amount of influence.

Reporters who fact-check Trump to his face are not “stupid”, they are not “piggies”, and they are not “ugly”. They are doing their jobs, and doing it under pressure most of us will never experience.
We should be grateful for their service. I appreciate their courage now more than ever.

as a reporter, the part of this that i’ve simply never understood is how the next person to ask a question when he does something like this doesn’t simply repeat the question that set him off. it’s not just solidarity with your colleague, it’s an important question that remains worth asking
I’m not going to pretend it’s easy to say something in the moment when you witness the president do this and you’re aboard Air Force One with all the uniformed officers and secret service and fancy wood accents, but this is really an instance where you should. people.com/donald-trump...

Ruby Bridges is 71. Emmett Till would have been 70.
The Civil Rights Act is only 61 years old. Loving is 58.
Less than a generation ago.

there are quite a few white folks who vividly recall and rather miss Jim Crow alive and voting in this country right now
I honestly don’t see how anyone can see it any other way if they are honest. Jim Crow was only ~60 years ago! Are we really pretending that the insane racism just suddenly disappeared? This is to say nothing of the hundreds of examples we all have of seeing casual racism in everyday life

So the next time people want to appeal to the right, it’s because they are right wing themselves. Because the proof is in the pudding after what happened last night.

Democrats should be drawing up legislation right now, this very minute, to bar Trump from helping himself to $230 million in taxpayer funds from DOJ. Challenge Republicans to hold a vote on it. Push this so hard in the media that every GOP Senate and House candidate is pressed to comment on it.

Why are credible news platforms still platforming these kinds of lies and liars who tell them?
CNN: Do you really believe that the 7 million attendees who participated this weekend hate the United States of America?
REP. LISA McCLAIN: Well, look at what they're standing for. They're standing for communism. They're standing for antisemitism.
