My new piece in The Atlantic continues how to fight Putinization in America. Trump is accelerating his wide-spectrum attacks on the rule of law & on public & private institutions that might slow him. If legislators don’t fight now, they won’t be able to later. www.theatlantic.com/internationa...
How America Can Avoid Becoming Russia
Political pressure must be brought to bear—through the courts, the press, and the states, but also applied to legislators while they still have any power left.

Great to be in a room with so many dedicated Americans ready to #standup and fight for democracy AND our neighbors under threat.
Thank you, #ACLU, for the inspiration and the call to action.
Perfect prelude for tomorrow's #handsoff Rally. Courage is contagious - see YOU there!

I’ve taken the Senate floor and will speak for as long as I’m physically able to lift the voices of Americans who are being harmed and not being heard in this moment of crisis. Watch here:

This attorney stood up for her principles, risking her career and livelihood and who knows what kind of retribution.
But she also stood up for us all.
She deserves our thanks. May her courage will be contagious.

I can't believe there is not more outrage about this.
Free speech is being equated to and treated as terrorism.
And let's be clear: this is NOT about anything other than scaring the crap out of Americans so they shut up and obey.
This needs to stop and it won't if we remain silent.

THIS IS HOW YOU STAND UP: How about if all places of worship, schools and other public spaces put up signs by their entrances with this simple statement of the law? (This one’s from a Minnesota church).
Suggesting it to my temple today. Will report back.
