I’m going to be crying with relief all night. I’m going to be crying with anger for a while. This is a terrifying time to be a non native citizen in this country. It’s a terrifying time to be human but this is just. So much.

Walz: I think they hate public education because it’s easier to run an authoritarian government if you don’t have a population that knows.

I speak English, Spanish, German and some Italian. I’m sorry the sitting president is not as smart as I am. But English, Spanish, German and Italian are my official languages and he CAN SUCK ON IT.

I prefer presidents who stand up to dictators and liars
The best way to confront a bully about the misinformation he is spreading is to confront him in front of everyone. Macron just did that.

I just saw an ad that said “whether you’re a tech expert or a stay at home mom with no computer skills”. So anyway, smash the patriarchy because it’s 19fucking50 again.

"A Real Pain" is soooo good. A perfect little film. Beautifully written. Wonderfully cast. Kieran Culkin is as good as he always is. Loved it.

Even in our darkest hours, the courage of people like this gives me hope
This matters. Not because I think Trump is capable of mercy or empathy towards these vulnerable groups. But because it is a public act of defiance.
Contrast that with all these other powerful people in this country signaling nothing but appeasement and obedience.

Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde to Trump: "I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender people in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives ... and the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals"

Indeed. When they rounded up the Japanese Americans, myself and my family included, for internment during WWII out of fear over Japanese spies and saboteurs, two thirds of us were U.S. citizens.
Don’t think it won’t happen again when they come for the “undocumented.”
