Then they came for the Jews
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew
Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me.

First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist
Then they came for the Socialists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialist
Then they came for the trade unionists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a trade unionist…

“Instead of the angry finger-pointing, can we just for one day agree that it is horrible and monstrous to shoot another human? On behalf of my family, we send love to the Kirks and to all the children, parents and innocents who fall victim to senseless gun violence.” ~ Jimmy Kimmel

Saw a post a bit ago I agree with.

Perhaps Colbert and Kimmel should go to Canada and start a production company.

I’m in.

A reminder that every small bit of good you do - whether it be putting art into the world, helping a friend or stranger, donating to a good cause, or just listening to someone who needs to vent - offsets all the evil in the world just a little bit. And sometimes that's just what the world needs.

Tonight, we forced Republicans to take a simple vote:

Can we all agree that billionaire corporations like Amazon and Tesla - who take home over $1 billion in sheer profit a year - shouldn't get another tax handout?

Republicans said no.

PLEASE @RichardBranson! You have the chance to make a difference. Your wealth could help control these beasts — flip the House, pressure for change, remove them from power, save this nation - we want love and freedom, not hateful autocracy!

Saw this play last night at The Invisible Theater in Tucson. It made me feel like this shitshow is worth fighting for. I guess I won’t move to Mexico. 💖

The unconstitutional impoundment of funds is unprecedented, very harmful, and dangerous. That is why I am filing a lawsuit today to stop it.
