Any GOP members who haven’t sold their souls to the devil yet should consider this as one of their options.
Let your conscience be your guide, GOP members, for the love of your country and for the love of Democracy.
You’ll be able to tell your grandchildren what YOU did when it mattered the most.

Think you have to form the writing muscle memory early so that when it gets even harder, you've done it so long you just keep doing it because you can't imagine doing anything else

Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."

This concern seems quaint now as we battle fascism. I’m not bored; I’m terrified. I didn’t used to watch videos. Now I reach for communion to reassure myself that I’m not alone with the fascists. I understand it’s A problem. Just not the most pressing one here.

Crockett: "The US is falling apart, partially bc he's allowing for killings in the street, but also bc we have a 34 count convicted felon being shielded from any type of accountability as it relates to a child sex trafficking ring. I don't understand why we're pretending any of this is normal."

Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century.
He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. He’s referenced 38,000 times.
