"Do not get lost in a sea of despair. Be hopeful, be optimistic. Our struggle is not the struggle of a day, a week, a month, or a year, it is the struggle of a lifetime. Never, ever be afraid to make some noise and get in good trouble, necessary trouble." --John Lewis, in a 2018 tweet

So.. Leavitt says Trump is 100% innocent, the Democrats are using the "hoax" to bury the vote to reopen the government, and this is the most transparent administration in history.
Well, there is one sure way to PROVE everything she's saying. Release the Epstein Files. Prove his innocence.

Reckless, undertrained ICE hires are a danger to everyone. This is terrorism against US citizens.

Pritzker: "People of Illinois, we need your help. Get our your cell phones, record and narrate what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know that this is happening and that we won't stand for it."

One good thing about these conservative media groups like Sinclair and Nexstar preempting Kimmel is that a lot of people are suddenly figuring out which stations they actually own and why their local news has turned into garbage over the last few years.

Welp. There's an exhibit for a selective and vindictive prosecution motion. "She looks guilty."
REPORTER: Have you ever threatened DOJ leadership if they don't prosecuted Letitia James?
TRUMP: No. I don't do that. I mean, I look at the facts like everybody else. You read the facts, and to me she looks terrible, she looks like she's very guilty. But that's going to be up to the DOJ.

Losing the freedom of speech means the end of open dialogue the rise of oppression, and the loss of singular identity.
• When words are silenced, ideas die.
• The absence of free speech is not peace, it's oppression.
• Losing your voice is the first step to losing yourself.

Re Kimmel, it's important that Disney has left itself an out--it is a "suspension," not a cancellation or firing. What happens in the next two days--reaction within the company but also in the press, in the industry, in Washington, among consumers, and on social media--may affect how this plays out.

When you claim that vaccines should be personal preference or “let people make their own decisions,” you reveal that you are either completely ignorant or completely transactional or both. Moreover you endanger people who don’t have such choice due to other health complications.
