If someone’s not mourning the death of Robert Redford in a manner that’s consistent with your views, make sure you set up a database, call their employer, and get them fired.

Mayor Brandon of Chicago responds to a question from a reporter if pushing back will make things harder?
“Can you imagine if my ancestors would have had the same rationale? Let’s not fight against the Confederacy. Let’s just try to get along, and maybe one day they’ll give us our freedom?”

I have no respect for ANY athlete that visits this White House.
You are unAmerican if you do so, as is anyone who supports or enables this administration.
Let me repeat that.
You actions are in *direct* opposition to the Declaration of Independence.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.
18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.
We made this website to tell our story:

I didn't think I was capable of feeling any more shame for what America has become.

As of today, a new term has entered our language. A “rubio” is a spineless lump of nothing. Example: Don’t be such a rubio.

If you’re wondering why I declined to talk to the NYTimes, then you haven’t been following my account for very long.
They bear a direct responsibility for the current situation we find ourselves in, and I responded by laying out my position and that I would only talk to @jamellebouie.net

i don't think reading this to yourself does justice to how bad it is. read it out loud. you'll immediately notice how stilted and uncomfortable the prose is, like someone struggling to articulate an actual thought
Not breaking any new ground here, but my god is Bari a bad writer and thinker

i am going to put a finer point on this: executive orders are not laws. and they certainly are not royal decrees. they are interpretations of existing law for the purposes of enforcement. the fact that so many people are treating them as laws is actually driving me a bit insane.
i mean, the president's executive order isn't a goddamn law! as far as this doctor is concerned, who cares what the president says!
A New York City doctor said he will continue providing gender-affirming treatments to his patients younger than 19 despite President Donald Trump’s executive order aiming to ban such care.

If you don't think Social Security & Medicare are next, you're not paying attention. If you voted for this, you deserve all that's coming. I've spent my entire life a bleeding heart for others less fortunate, but I have no drops left for you. I feel nothing... except for your children. Damn you all.

When I taught The Diary of Anne Frank, my students would always ask, “How could people let that happen? I would have done ____.”
Look around, friends. Now is the time to do what you said you would have done.

Facebook suppressed promotion of political content during a Democratic administration and is restoring it for a Republican one
More from Zuck: "We're bringing back civic content. For a while the community asked to see less politics because it was making people stressed, so we stopped recommending these posts. But it feels like we're in a new era now..."
