"Do not get lost in a sea of despair. Do not become bitter or hostile. Be hopeful, be optimistic. Never, ever be afraid to make some noise and get in good trouble, necessary trouble. We will find a way to make a way out of no way."

- John Lewis, 2019

When authoritarians seize power, it is crucial to recognise courageous defenders of freedom who rise and resist.

Democracy depends on people who refuse to stay silent, who dare to step forward despite grave risk, and who remind us that freedom must never be taken for granted, but must always be defended – with words, with courage and with determination.

This footage from Chicago is horrific.

Find your No Kings protest now at nokings.org. There’s no more sitting on the sidelines.

This administration is weak and unpopular. If we stand up TOGETHER, peacefully, we win.

If we don’t, this becomes the new normal. And no one can say who will be next.

This is what courage in the face of authoritarianism looks like. No university should take Trump's bribe & surrender their integrity — bending the knee to a bully only feeds the beast & puts ALL our rights at risk.

Others should follows MIT’s example ASAP.

MIT rejects Trump administration deal for priority federal funding

MIT is one of the nine schools that were asked to agree to adopt conservative priorities and policies in exchange for funding perks.

So Well Done @schumer.senate.gov !

Chuck Schumer @schumer.senate.gov · 3d

The government is shut down because Trump and the Republicans are hellbent on taking health care away from you.

And they won’t even come to the table to talk to us about it.

This is not about politics. It's about people.

Let’s break it down:

If she does not know the Constitution and she does not understand the writ of #habeas-corpus should she be allowed to have this position? I think no because if you are arresting people you need to know what laws permit you to do it. #Habeas-corpus is one of the most important Protections

Read the thread to know what is really happening with this announcement.

Besides linking Tylenol in pregnant women to autism, RFK Jr. now says circumcision is part of the reason why kids are autistic.

"Children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism, and it's highly likely because they're given Tylenol. None of this is positive..."

Country fans are upset with Zach Bryan after he criticized ICE in a song.

But don't let it be known that Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Kris Kristofferson, and Johnny Cash all despised fascism and leaned heavily to the left.

I can also picture him being restrained with zip ties during a stage show and being hauled off in a van for a day or so to intimidate him and keep him quiet.

I know. Me too. What do you think he'd be saying now?

My quote of the day

If you want to preserve democracy as we know it, you have to have a free and many times adversarial press. And without it, I am afraid that we would lose so much of our individual liberties over time. That's how dictators get started.

John McCain

George Carlin was an advanced scholar of human nature. In his standup role he described so much more about our world and the people in it. His perceptions were accurate.
