It started with erasing our histories. Now, legal recourse against racism is taken away. For those thinking it’s only the black and brown people who will be diminished, they will come for you also. Stand together or become oppressed together, before it’s too late.

This is your regular reminder that executive orders are not royal decrees. Because America has no king.

This is getting fewer headlines than it should. After coming to power promising to help working people, the president is revealing his real priorities by actively making it easier for banks to rip people off.

This action of our government is plain wrong. There is a human cost to our domestic policy. There is also a moral cost which we have to bear. Our word counts for nothing. Anyone else feeling gravity pull us down a slippery slope of no return?

Please repeat over and over: “Bending to the whims of a bully will not end his cruelty. It will only embolden him. The response to authoritarianism isn’t acquiescence. Bullies respond to one thing, and one thing only: a punch in the face.” —Gov. JB Pritzker

The possibility of abduction by a sovereign and imprisonment abroad is one criterion that separates democracies from dictatorships. The Declaration of Independence called the British king tyrannical for transporting Americans, “beyond Seas to be tried for pretended Offenses.”

Skipped the paperwork. Ignored the court order. Broke the law. Ignored the constitution. This ain’t immigration policy. This is straight-up defiance of the rule of law.

It doesn’t seem to me that authoritarianism discriminates. Everyone is subject to its whims. No one is safe or exempt. If you think disappearances are a thing other governments do, you are not seeing the plain truth in front of you.

One of many powerful signs at the peaceful protest today in Lenexa, KS. I estimate 1200 people attended on this cold and dreary day. The energy of the crowd was palpable. The air was electric with determination and resolve.

The wages of the richest 1% have skyrocketed 182% since 1979.  Meanwhile, the wages of the bottom 90% have seen just 44% growth.  Trickle down economics was always a hoax.

Sen. Booker’s speech was a substantive and moral account of this moment. He did not read the phone book. He did not babble. For 24 hours @booker.senate.gov laid out a detailed, damning, and critical narrative of truth, history, politics, morality, humanity. What will you do?

At the heart of why this state Supreme Court race became such a big deal is simple: partisan power to determine the future of voting rights and fair elections. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

It’s time for bold leadership in the Senate. I can see @CoryBooker as the next Minority Leader. Smart. Honest. Fearless. Visionary. He doesn’t just talk about the moment—we’ve seen him rise to it. Leadership requirements evolve. This moment demands change. Let’s get serious about what’s next.

Our government is supposed to protect and help us lead better lives. Yet our president and his supporters and enablers are actively harming people by taking away their livelihoods, destroying institutions which make us healthier and enrich our minds, and eroding our civil protections. Unacceptable!

Courage is contagious. Hear him, Senate. Hear him, House. Hear him, Americans who want an America which works for us all. Hear him, those who are tired and worried. Then, speak your truth for us to hear you. We have addition and multiplication to fight those who would divide and subtract us.

I take everything 47 says literally, neither figuratively nor as hyperbole. It’s time to see the path our nation is going down as it is. We are in big trouble. The Constitution is little more than a suggestion. Morally and ethically we are bereft. Law and order are figments of a failed imagination.

Why aren’t Democrats losing their minds over this? Beyond the national security implications, this is another example of the incompetence and danger of this administration. Even I know this ought to be Democratic talking point #1 until the next unforced error by the GOP. Get with it Good Guys!

Erasing history is more than hiding a narrative. It is the deliberate devaluing of those that contributed to that history. It is a direct attack on the humanity and dignity of the groups being maligned. It is furthering marginalization. It is moving our heroes to a lesser class of citizenship.

I could write up why there’s no constitutional problem with the President using an auto-pen to sign official documents—or I could just post the 30-page 2005 opinion by George W. Bush’s Office of Legal Counsel that explains why in lots of detail. I choose the latter: www.justice.gov/file/494411/...

We’ve all heard bastardized versions of it, but the correct quotation and the person who said it is: “Bad men need nothing more to compass their ends, than that good men should look on and do nothing.” JOHN STUART MILL And it has never been more evident in American history than it is today.

It is apparent that we are witnessing a deliberate and systematic erasing of history in order to lay a foundation for devaluing and dehumanizing whole groups of Americans. Can there be any other reason? And what comes next? Don’t let a lack of imagination keep the truth from your minds.

I’m feeling some kind of way about my government erasing my history, nay, our history, at every turn and deliberately attacking my value as a human being and contributing citizen. We must declare our worth and fight for our rights and dignity. Do you stand with me?

It is clear they are not only whitewashing history, but erasing any history which does not fit their narrative of white male supremacy. It is only a matter of time that "those" people have their rights rolled back. Oh, wait! Rights are already being rolled back. This is happening right now.
