I am holding on to hope that this is how the pushback really begins. It was good to see so many people out for the Hands Off! Rally in Evanston. Since it was right outside my work, I was able to whip up a sign and join for a bit on my break!

The people are incens’d against him.

Congratulations, Senator Booker, on the longest speech ever given on the Senate floor. Truly a marvel. @booker.senate.gov

He speaks with such a proud commanding spirit.

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:

All I want is a cottage in the Scottish Highlands, the rumble of thunder in the distance, a crackling fire, a vintage copy of Bram Stoker's Dracula, a kettle on the stove, a raven keeping watch, and a basket of emotional support scones.

Don’t let them scare you.

Don’t let them get you to give up hope.

This is what they want more than anything.

Their evil is never more alive than when we sleep.

For God’s sake, lords, give signal to the fight.

So let me get this straight—Trump’s nat sec adviser added a JOURNALIST to a group chat on classified Yemen strike plans?? This isn’t a group project, it’s national security.

They screamed “Lock her up” over emails, but leaking war plans is cool now? Make it make sense.

But her emails...

Ay me! I see the ruin of my house:
The tiger now hath seiz’d the gentle hind;
Insulting tyranny begins to jut
Upon the innocent and aweless throne.

Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"

DEMOCRATS WAKE UP AND FIGHT

Hey, so… we can defend ourselves, thanks. We don’t need conservative white men who take away our rights to do it for us…. And taking away access to important health information most certainly is not defending women.

In hindsight, my coping strategy of “don’t think about it until January” was absolutely genius until it became January.

11AM: How bad could the new administration be?

4PM: And Elon did that how many times?

Seems like a good day to post here rather than elsewhere…
