→ Enslaved people who dreamed of freedom despite never tasting it—they were not naive. → Women who demanded the vote in a world that laughed in their faces—they were not naive. → Black youth who sat at segregated lunch counters risking beatings for a hamburger—they were not naive.

From Robert Reich "The world's richest man is orchestrating a coup. We're in the midst of a Constitutional crisis. Senate Democrats should not be confirming any of Trump's nominees for any agency while this power grab continues. Nothing should be 'business as usual.'"
