"No taxation without representation" was the rallying cry of the American Revolution. Considering these are the conditions we now find ourselves in, the release of the latest documentary series by Ken Burns couldn't be more timely.

I think we need to come to terms with the fact that right now we're essentially in the grips of a coup. By failing to hold pro-forma sessions the House of Representatives is in violation of Article I Section 5 of the Adjournment Clause. 1/4

Protecting the 1A is imperative; without it, the foundation of our democracy crumbles.

Erica Chenoweth has a lot of helpful insight to offer in this video. It's also encouraging to see folks in Hollywood actively organizing as their voices are much more likely to reach the masses.

The song that played on continuous loop in my head during Trump's first term is proving even more relevant with this round.

Originally written during Cold-War tensions, it was also left intentionally ambiguous about which "evil empire" it could be referring to. youtu.be/_s9YPLl14RQ?...

When discussing members of the homeless population that refuse assistance programs, Fox & Friends host Brian Kilmeade suggests "involuntary lethal injection, or something, just kill 'em".

And yet they can't fathom why we might refer to them as Nazis.

Yes, Brian Kilmeade really said this: “Involuntary lethal injection, or something. Just kill them."
