I waitress while I run for Congress. I know what it’s like to stretch a paycheck, juggle bills, and still show up for your community. Washington needs more people who live like us — not just talk about us. Derrick Van Orden talks the talk. I'll walk the walk.

W.E.B. Du Bois on Robert E. Lee: “Either he knew what slavery meant when he helped maim and murder thousands in its defense, or he did not. If he did not he was a fool. If he did, Robert Lee was a traitor and a rebel–not indeed to his country, but to humanity and humanity’s God.”

Wow. Harvard University says they will not comply with Trump’s demand to “audit” the viewpoints of their student body or else be defunded. More of this.

Trump is talking about shuttering publications and networks he disagrees with. He's talking about deporting and imprisoning Americans who dissent. This is unprecedented and undemocratic. Wake up America.

On this day in 1802, Georgia ceded its western lands - now Alabama & Mississippi to the U.S. - but only if slavery remained legal. This deal helped slave states keep power in the Senate, blocking federal action against slavery. 140 days to Slavery Remembrance Day. #CountDowntoSRD

I'm thinking about a quote by British author Elizabeth Bibesco in 1934, amid Hitler's growing horrors: “The Nazi regime benefits from the fact that its atrocities overstep the limits of credibility.” Today, many Americans suffer from that same failure of imagination. It could be fatal.

Jeffrey Goldberg thinking he was being pranked and then realizing he was actually just in the war plans group chat is such a good microcosm of how it feels to be alive right now, everything seems fake until you realize it’s actually real and incredibly stupid
