If Patel’s confirmation scares you and you’re worried about the FBI being used to wage war and terrorize American citizens, just ask Black people for advice, they’ve been dealing with it for decades

Know why you only see movies about dystopias after the dystopias are up and running? Because the beginning is not entertaining. I am an authority on this. So are you.

Finally: someone who recognizes that there's a five-alarm wildfire going on in our government and that all "norms" are being rendered null and void and we need to be responding accordingly.

Costco, which has come out saying it supports DEI, will make no changes to its existing programs, AND pays workers a minimum of $30/hour, is up 15% YTD. Target, which announced it is ending all DEI programs and has a minimum wage of $15-$24/hour, is down over 4%. Keep voting with your wallet.

“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.” ― Former President Theodore Roosevelt, May 1918

I know all of us who understand what is happening are experiencing mental health challenges because of that. The only message of comfort I can offer to this community of readers is this: you are correct. What you think is happening is really happening, and is just as concerning as you think it is.

A gay guy, a Black man, and a woman walk into a flight deck— that’s not the beginning of a joke, but just a regular day at work! There was so much DEI on this plane that we could hardly get in the air. Luckily my limp wrists were able to wrestle the heavy jet back to the ground 💅🏼

Dull, overwhelming gray covering it all is a perfect metaphor for the bigger picture. This photograph was taken two days ago at the FBI Academy in Quantico and submitted to the NYT under the condition of anonymity. If a picture is usually worth a thousand words, this one is worth millions.

Few material things can provide perspective. This does for me. Photo of Otto Frank, returning to his family’s hiding place. In 1944, an informant betrayed them and the family was sent to Auschwitz. His wife (Edith) was murdered, his daughters (Margot & Anne) died of Typhus.

Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.

Looking forward to that moment during Jimmy Carter's funeral tomorrow when Walter Mondale's son -- with Trump seated in the front row -- reads these words his dad wrote: "We told the truth. We obeyed the law. We kept the peace." Watch for it!

This man and a small group of capitol police officers singlehandedly saved our democracy four years ago. In November, 77 million Americans said "to hell with them" and voted for the insurrectionists. Your "Back the Blue" flags are a pathetic disgrace and your patriotism is bullsh*t.

Don’t let anyone lie about January 6th. It was an armed attack. They had pipe bombs, guns, Molotov cocktails, stun guns, a crossbow, hockey sticks, bats, flagpoles, pepper/bear spray, brass knuckles, scissors, screwdrivers, and an axe. More than 1,200 arrested. 117 for weapons/assaulting police.

The alleviation of women's abuse "is made less likely by the mandated subservience of women by Christian fundamentalists. What is especially disappointing...is the docile acceptance by so many strong Christian women of their subjugation & restricted role." - Jimmy Carter (RIP)

Why is Missouri’s population declining? 30% of our schools run a 4-day week. We are dead last in starting teacher pay and state worker pay. 40% of our counties are maternity deserts. 50% of our counties are childcare deserts. Children can legally open carry guns. 22 years of a GOP supermajority.

As a father I can’t fathom how the GOP has gotten away with branding themselves as the party of ‘family values.’ What values? Paid leave? No. Affordable childcare? No. Investing in education? No. Ending child poverty? No. Fighting child cancer? No. Protecting kids from guns? No. End this charade.

One way to stay grounded during this chaos is to categorize the threats to our democracy. I break them down into the 4 Ds… Disinformation Divisiveness Distraction Disengagement This way the “how do we fight this?!” is clearer. Amplify accurate info Build community Stay focused Stay in the fight

Republicans couldn’t even pass a bill to keep the government open that they negotiated with themselves—after blowing up a bipartisan deal with Democrats because Elon Musk and Trump told them to. And then 38 Republicans voted against their own bill. 🤡
