Brianna Keilar: Do you think that calling Elon Musk a dick is effective messaging?

I will not give in to the lies, I will not give in to the fear
Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.

#OtD 25 Jan 1995 Manchester United football legend Eric Cantona kung fu kicked a fascist football hooligan, who attended far-right NF and BNP rallies and had convictions for violent crime including attacking an anti-fascist. Commemorative merch here: shop.workingclasshistory.com/...

Hope seems like such a distant and foreign concept. My community, extended and immediate family, my own wellbeing as a Mexican-American is being directly threatened. Hard to do academia things when the world does a 180 spin of hatred and fascism

A president’s executive order cannot undo a law or a Supreme Court decision, let alone a provision of the Constitution. Forget that and you do have a dictatorship on day one.

I did this the last time the Tangerine Shitgoblin took office. It offended many, many horrible people… including David Duke, who was so mad, he Tweeted about it 3 times in 24 hours.

I’m currently working on a new version.

If you’re afraid to write your book because you think its content stands no chance in the coming climate, Remember that banned books (and books victims thought the world would never see) are the only honest window we have into some of the darkest moments of history. Write the book. #booksky

Birthright citizenship is in the Constitution, Trump can't change that, but also:

If not by birth, then what makes *me* a citizen? I'm white? I can trace my roots to a Revolutionary soldier?

How is anybody a citizen if they're not naturalized? What's the new criteria? Where is it in U.S. law? 🤔

Had to quit Facebook and Instagram for a bit. Mentally exhausted at the possibilities of what may come for our Brown and Black communities.

Don't let Donald Trump extending the TikTok ban distract you from the fact that his Administration is about to conduct mass deportations across America in a matter of days.

To Mike Johnson,

Thou shalt not ‘impose conditions’ on disaster aid to California.

California is the 6th largest economy in the world.

If thou fuck around, thou shalt find out.

Making a lecture about the U.S in the 1850s, and it terrifyingly feels violence today could escalate as it did back then.
