There's a lot going on, God knows, but don't miss that the President of the United States is using the full force of the Federal government, as well as tax dollars, to punish a state because its Governor... refused to do as he instructed.

America has never been subject to this level of authoritarianism, and quite frankly, sheer incompetence.
Out of the ashes, this moment should radicalize us to embark on an era of new reform — of our economy, our democracy, and our commitment to social justice and the law.

Oligarchs buying elections with million dollar giveaways. Hopefully people in Wisconsin won’t allow the South African to purchase a seat on your Supreme Court just like he bought the US federal government.

We are sending people for indefinite detention without trial at a foreign gulag because they have tattoos about soccer teams and about loving their mothers.
I want you to understand this is happening in our name and we know most of these men committed no crimes. One is a professional soccer player who was tortured in Venezuela and was working through asylum in the U.S. ICE shipped him for his Real Madrid tattoo and a picture throwing rock & roll horns.

Today I lost an NIH grant training clinicians to do research about intimate partner violence with perinatal women.
More women are murdered in the perinatal period than die of obstetric complications.
I didn't just lose a grant. We lost an entire cohort of people building careers to prevent that.

Fact: They didn’t fear what breaking the Dept of Education would do to their kids. Their kids are in fancy private schools.
They are dismantling the Dept of Ed so our kids have no choice but to be undereducated and work for their kids.

we believe we are special and we simply are not
People are unwilling to believe this country could actually fall apart. They've been unwilling for the last 10 years. And it's that unwillingness that may well kill us in the end.

Bernie hits hard: “Only a coward like Trump sues the media for reporting things he doesn’t like.” I agree. You don’t impeach judges for doing their jobs. You don’t silence free speech because the truth hurts. Trump’s war on democracy isn’t strength—it’s fear. And we should call it what it is.
