When I read Orwell, Huxley, Bradbury, and Atwood, I saw the societies they described as a terrifying warning of something potentially very real. Those coming into power now also read those books. They see a "how to" guide.

Good morning. Happy Wednesday!
There are horizons above. We put up fences, gaze set on the clouds. Step over the barrier, walk freely, clouds yielding, the vastness of entirely exposed.

Translation: Republicans don't care about women, as is evidenced by the fact that we support a pedophile and rapist in the White House.

Saturday will be electric. Shoulder-to-shoulder...signs high...voices ready: No Kings. No Fear. This country bows to the Constitution, not a crown.

That protest is the ONLY thing dominating his mind. He knows it will show how UN-popular he is. To a narcissist...that's humiliating, and that is pain.

Emerging from the darkness of this era will require us to acknowledge that the previous status quo, including many institutions that may have served us well in another era, have been failing for my entire lifetime.

“the constitution forbids race conscious remedies” would be news to the people who wrote the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments

Griem goes there, arguing in response to Justice Jackson that there can be no race-conscious remedy absent a finding of intentional discrimination.

Republicans aren't calling for them to resign because of what they said. They are being called to resign because they let the conservative ideology get leaked to the press.

Thank you, my friend!

And yes, we're mobilizing here too. Going in small groups for safety and I will be volunteering as a medic too. Just like June 14. My kids made about 30 signs this past weekend to distribute. Love your optimism‼️ 👊✊👍😃

Make no mistake about it.

This is damage control mode.

They're acting like they didn't know what was going on.

Young Republicans.🙄

We know where they got their racism from.

Whoa‼️ Dems could lose 19 seats due to GOP gerrymandering.

CA, UT & MD can’t fight fire with fire alone. Other blue states must step up, and every Democrat needs to vote. Don’t sit out any election.

Push your governors and legislators to act. Tell friends and family to vote. Help them. #YesOnProp50

Q: This has been reported for a while. Cory Mills was accused of beating a girlfriend in his DC apt. Are you concerned about these allegations?

JOHNSON: You have to ask Rep. Mills about that. He's been a faithful colleague. I don't know the details. Let's talk about things that are really serious

Imagine my surprise when Pat from SNL posted hundreds of vile, anti-Semitic, racist, misogynistic, homophobic, Hitler-loving messages.

Correction: I’m told that it was actually William Hendrix, who worked for Kansas Republican AG Kris Kobach.

Mike Johnson: "They berated a Capitol police officer, screamed at him. He was merely standing his post. It shows, again, their disdain for law enforcement, the Democrats, screaming, assaulting officers."

If this were true then there would be a high need for workers. That's not the case.
