I grew up believing that we had learned the lessons of the German poem and Martin Luther King Jr's speeches. We would all speak out if we saw democracy threatened and the rule of law under attack. I will always speak out against wrong. I will always stand up for democracy. I will not back down.

Trump’s stupid Pope picture should be seen through the lens of “Project Russia” and “Third Rome” ideology; what they are broadcasting is a (desired) merger between US-Russia-Russian Orthodox Church-Catholic Church. Really. washingtonspectator.org/project-russ...

Trump's threat to arrest Gov. Evers is a chilling attempt to normalize fascism & silence dissent. They want to bully & intimidate anyone who doesn't conform to their ideology. We will NOT be intimidated. We will NOT be silenced. We will DEFEND our freedom!

The Public Broadcasting Act of 1967 created the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. I reread it today; nothing in the law allows a president to defund PBS and NPR. In fact, Congress specifically sought to insulate public media from political pressure.
