I am proud of what the American flag represents. As a way of honoring so many who came before us, and fought for our freedoms, it is time for us to recapture our flag! And fight for its legacy!

This isn’t a MAGA symbol. This isn’t a Christian symbol.

It represents ALL of us.

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.

There's always been a fight over the true story of America. I believe deeply in the story that says we’re all created equal, and that if we can treat each other with decency and respect, all of us will be better off.

I talk about this and more on the final episode of WTF with Marc Maron. Watch now:

🔥 COUNTRY SINGER @bryanandrewsmusic.bsky.social : "You don't get to call yourself a Christian and laugh when families are torn apart — and think it's okay that the highest court in the land just gave a green light to ICE agents to target people because they’re brown or speaking Spanish.”

He gives $20 Billion of OUR dollars to bailout Argentina without consulting Congress or the American people. Does that seem like the actions of a KING to you?

Join us & let him know just what you think about that this Saturday, 10/18

This is the playbook, folks.

If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away.

Do not be quiet in this moment.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

Let’s be clear about what happened to Jimmy Kimmel

Trump’s most brazen attack on free speech yet.

The president of the United States is trying to steal congressional seats so I don’t give a fuck about the Cracker Barrel logo discussion. Good night and have a pleasant tomorrow.

Martin Luther King Jr once said, “The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.”

While that is reassuring, I think the United States is currently testing the tensile strength of that arc with all the injustice, hatred, and corruption it is piling on.
