Those of us with privilege bear a grave responsibility, and morality demands that we meet it in this moment.
If you are white, middle-class, straight… let it be known who you are and what your beliefs are. People need to see white people making their stance abundantly clear, right out front.

Absolutely humiliating day for America.
For the record, Trump does not speak for us. The majority of Americans are as horrified and disgusted as the rest of the world.

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.
