Hate won that battle. There are more to come. We must fight on (vote) every time there is chance, for school boards, mayor, county leadership, etc. The war on hate never ends and so does our resolve to end it.
I can't believe hate won!

Sexual assault, hate, bigotry, racism, misogyny, and corruption, WON!

Three weeks later and I still can't wrap my brain around it.

I have a teeny tiny tinge of sympathy for Elise.

She was quite sharp when she started in Congress. Then she sacrificed all her integrity to serve Trump. And he, and all the other men in the GOP, treated her like shit.

But mostly, fuck her for helping to destroy the US.

Political satirist and best selling author Andy Borowitz spoke to me about Trump's speech Wednesday noting Trump looked like a "cokehead...like the former president of Honduras had sold him some of his best supply, or perhaps given it to him in exchange for the pardon." youtu.be/MTldxWDIxek?...

It IS our war. We made a deal with Ukraine that if they gave up their nukes, we’d protect them from Russia.

We should note that yesterday Senators Durbin and Duckworth issued formal criminal referrals for actions by members of the Trump regime. I think this needs to become far more common as we must attach criminality to their outrageous actions, and not let it get normalized as just boys being boys.

It’s still the Gulf of Mexico.
It’s still the Department of Defense.
And it’s still the Kennedy Center.

And they will remain as such long after that orange fucking idiot is gone.

The Kennedy Center was established and named by an act of Congress. No media outlet should call it anything different until Congress amends or repeals that Act. Trump is not a king.

My initial reaction when I see memes like this is to question if it's true. Why do I even bother thinking like that. After the last 11 months, nothing should be discounted and everything should be believed because this regime is literally capable of anything.

Gregory Bovino is back in Chicago, and so is the violence.

Trump sending him here is not about safety. It’s about fear and force. We won’t give in.

In Congress, I’ll vote to abolish ICE.

As Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis stated in 1933; “We can have democracy in this country or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of the few, but we cannot have both.”

Today, at a time of unprecedented income & wealth inequality, his words ring truer than ever.

Listen, all I’m saying is that I’ve seen more pictures of Donald Trump partying with Jeffrey Epstein than I have of Donald Trump playing with his son Barron.
