Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

Remember her name: Aliya Rahman
Her testimony is everything and it deserves to be heard, by everyone. Decide for yourself.
It’s powerful. It’s gut-wrenching. And no one should have to survive what she did.
ICE MUST GO‼️

This family has been traumatized, especially Liam who has no idea why he was kidnapped and locked up in a concentration camp in Texas. My heart is heavy for all the other innocent people ICE has locked up. When will they be released?

Black History Month is a time to recognize the lived, shared experience of all Black folks who have fundamentally shaped, challenged, and ultimately strengthened America. It’s about taking an unvarnished look at the past so that we can create a better future.

Here is how the media should be reporting this morning's news.
As part of a growing pattern of political retribution, Donald Trump's FBI has raided the home of a prominent administration critic. In this instance it happens to be John Bolton. The pretense is largely irrelevant.

Whoa! Hats off to ABC News reporter Matt Gutman for keeping his cool yesterday.
This LAPD officer needs to be relieved of duty if he can’t handle an alleged “touch” without snapping.

Remarkable.
MSNC: "I want to reiterate this has been 100% peaceful."
Seconds later, LA County sheriffs start firing on the crowd.
Yet again, "law enforcement" deliberately escalated.
