Spotted in South Philly, “Be a patriot, protect your immigrant neighbors.”

When you look at the list of institutions they want to defund: libraries, museums, the Smithsonian, public schools, PBS, NPR, archives, you can clearly see that the real threat to an authoritarian regime is an informed and educated public

Hey NBC and Seth Meyers, y’all need to book the largest possible venue in D.C. on April 26th and do a competing fundraiser and comedy show that actually celebrates the First Amendment. Televise it. Make Amber Ruffin the central act. Send a message that free speech is non-negotiable.

"We don’t want your Nazi cars / take a one-way trip to Mars" is a pretty good chant

I wish I lived in a caring, thoughtful country where politics wasn't about winning an election next year, but helping our citizens this year.

It’s really fascinating what happens when you remove diversity—white male incompetency is placed on full display and with no one to blame for their actions —so they just lie.

When someone expresses genuine regret voting for Trump, the best thing we can do is welcome them into the fold. We're not gonna get anywhere with ridiculous gatekeeping and pettiness. Let's offer folks an off-ramp into the coalition of reasonable adults.

Forced Resignations Are Illegal – 5 CFR § 715.202 states that federal resignations must be voluntary. An email implying "uncertainty of your position" while pushing resignation deadlines could be considered coercion.
