Trump is defying courts and ignoring the Constitution. That's why I'm taking to the streets on No Kings Day for a nationwide day of defiance. app.sosha.ai/s/Wmfy1K4x

Sending people to concentration camps and using the word extermination is not a mistake

I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.

We had the reporter on tonight; @maddow has the whistleblower

I can't emphasize enough that the most important thing journalists can do right now is publish exactly this kind of article

The new dividing line in the Democratic Party isn’t liberal vs moderate, or old vs young. It’s active vs passive. Dem politicians who are doing something to break through in this moment are rising; Dems seen as punching in & out and content to do the bare minimum are vulnerable.

“Well, they lied. Obviously ... They’re not going to get out of this by playing semantics. Sending detailed information about an upcoming military strike on unclassified channels (and even to the wrong guy) is wrong, reckless, and obviously a threat to American troops.” Pete Buttigieg

Wut?? www.wsj.com/politics/nat...

What will come forth is beauty

I remember when we stood up to Russian Imperialism, and didn't endorse it based on the empty promise of "raw earth minerals." But I'm familiar with the Before Times. For everyone under 35, your entire life has been lived in an aberration of US politics and history. It doesn't have to be this way.

They gave up their dignity and bent the knee, betraying both their customers and their country. And they did it for money. Money they had no need for. The result? They lost billions and billions. The worst deal with the devil ever.

Baldwin: "Last night, the president said 'I'm not touching Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, VA, I'm not touching them.' By this morning, he endorsed the House budget resolution which paves the way for massive cuts to Medicaid."

Tonight the nonprofit I cofounded is being honored by the Human Rights Campaign in Cincinnati. Hurray! Big deal for the Ohio Lesbian Archives, a lgbtq collection.
