For real…journalists, what say you?
I mean, look, I'm not a reporter, so who am I to talk?
But on a day where the president both just called a woman reporter "Piggy" and is celebrating someone who had people bone saw apart one of my colleagues, I might just be a little ready to defend my colleagues and profession.
But that's just me

Every nonviolent movement that reached 3.5% participation won.
That’s not theory, that’s data from over a century of uprisings.
For us, that’s around 12 million Americans standing up for democracy, peace, and accountability.

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say.
This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand.
All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

Obama: We have to recognize that on both sides there are people who are extremists
But I will say that those extreme views were not in my White House. I wasn’t embracing them. I wasn’t empowering them. I wasn’t putting the weight of the government behind extremist views.

Congress is about to vote on a bill that would impose extreme prison sentences on teenagers, people seeking asylum, and families trying to reunite with each other — not for violent conduct, but because of how they tried to enter the U.S.
Tell Congress: Vote NO on life sentences for immigrants.

Congress is poised to vote on a bill that would further dehumanize immigrants, fuel mass incarceration, and lead to even more government-led attacks, raids, and violence. Urge your representatives to vote no.

Maddow: I also feel like there’s not very much about that that I don’t understand. Like, it’s the same everywhere. This is blond Berlusconi, you know what I mean? This is inarticulate Viktor Orbán, right? These guys are all the same. The authoritarian playbook is the same everywhere
