“Tyranny requires your fear and your silence and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage. So gather your justice and humanity...and do not let the 'tragic spirit of despair' overcome us when our country needs us the most." #JBPritzker #PrayForAmerica

Murphy: "There's no separation between the Kremlin & the White House right now.

Democratic leaders: I think it's abundantly clear at this point that simply going along to get along ain't gonna work. Trying to negotiate ain't gonna work. Being collegial ain't gonna work. What you're doing right now isn't working. Take your gloves off and punch back. Hard.

You know how you get that feeling when you're walking in an area that's abandoned and dark and your instincts kick in that something's fucked up and you need to get the hell out of there before the terrible thing happens and you're supposed to listen to that? That's how I feel living in the US now.
