I think it’s high time we take back the national narrative. For centuries Americans of all races, genders, religions, and abilities have worked to create a more perfect union, and we should shout from the rooftops that WE are America. Not these idiot white supremacist authoritarians.

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy.
I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

Why won't Kirsten Gillibrand denounce Cuomo?
As I recall, she was pretty vocal about Al Franken. 🤔

By the way, one of the reasons it’s terrible all of these people lie all of the time about meaningless things is it makes it impossible to believe them when they’re talking about incredibly consequential things.

In over 99.5 percent of protest events in April and May, we recorded no injuries, arrests, or property damage — an unprecedentedly tiny fraction for a movement of this size and geographic dispersion.

There’s no way this Iran thing can be that serious because Trump is at a show at the Kennedy Center right now and he would be working hard at the WH if there was a problem.

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants.
Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this.
Do not.

The problem is not that there are too many Americans protesting in the streets. The problem is that there are not enough. Not by a long shot.

kind of just endlessly sad and grieving that there are so few voices in the public sphere making the basic principled argument that immigration is an affirmative good in every way and the best way for this country to serve humanity is to welcome people who want or need to leave their homes

Something worth remembering about immigration: it's not a choice between values and pocketbook. You get both. The best evidence is that immigration enriches us all. If you want to convince yourself, imagine the USA didn't ban Chinese immigration in 1882, or immigration more broadly in 1924.

Americans under 25 have no idea how anomalous and deranged it is for the news to report obsessively on the persona and psychology of the executive with respect to matters of policy and governance. This is not even remotely normal.
