America has never been subject to this level of authoritarianism, and quite frankly, sheer incompetence.
Out of the ashes, this moment should radicalize us to embark on an era of new reform — of our economy, our democracy, and our commitment to social justice and the law.

Biden: Today, an oligarchy is taking shape in America of extreme wealth, power and influence that literally threatens our entire democracy, our basic rights and freedoms, and a fair shot for everyone to get ahead.

Republican Congressman Tom Emmer on national television just called Donald Trump a “very honest human being.”
I hear shit like this and I just want to quit everything I’m doing right now and go live in the middle of nowhere with a bunch of dogs for the rest of my life.
