This week, I withdrew from a speaking engagement at a public university because they sent me a list of prohibited “words & concepts.” I will not humor this censorship. It does a disservice to the stories I’m discussing & the audience, who deserve unfettered access to information & conversation.

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.

If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

Q: The president has accused the other side of encouraging political violence. Isn't that exactly what the president is doing when he says members of Congress should be killed?

LEAVITT: Why aren't you talking about what these members of Congress are doing to encourage and incite violence?

A reminder that Fox News had to pay nearly $1B for basically taking part in a plot to overthrow the US government. Dems should continually remind people of this.

Today marks Trans Day of Remembrance. This day is an opportunity to remember and mourn our trans siblings who have been lost to hate and violence.

As we honor their legacy and remember the past, we can seize their courage and use it to create a brighter and safer future for all of us.
