Rob Reiner: “Silence in the face of authoritarianism is complicity. Speaking out is a patriotic act. Democracy doesn’t defend itself. It requires participation, vigilance, and courage from ordinary people."

Last night a bunch of Republicans in the House were saying how awful this bill was.
Only took a couple hours, some merch, and a few words from Donald Trump, and they’re lining up to rip away health care from 17 MILLION people.
I’m sadly not surprised — but I am still outraged.

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

"unprecedented," "evolving situation," "challenging times." The last time my work inbox and meeting schedule were so full of these words was Spring of 2020. But that one was a natural disaster, and this time it's an entirely man-made crisis. It didn't have to be this way. *deep sigh*

Hey everyone, loosely based on postcardstovoters.com it’s my own thing. Use Google maps & find a fed office in a state. Mail them a postcard that says you support them & you’re thinking about them. I do this every night. Use #HoldTheLine for its defense, communication, & lifeline connotations

If you want to see Dems fight back, celebrate the Dems who are fighting back like this.
We just walked out of the state of the Union. My shirt showed Trump an important message: NO KINGS LIVE HERE.
In the spirit of student protestors from the Civil Rights Movement, I’m proud to have protested and walked out with many of my colleagues. This is NOT a normal time.

For me, fighting fascism has nothing to do with thinking I’ll win. I don’t fight because there’s an inevitable outcome, I fight because I couldn’t live with myself if I didn’t do something.

I remember another time in history when a minority group was required to register. That's not a chapter of history I want to repeat.

Immigration officials say everyone living in the US illegally must register. What does that mean?
Immigration officials are saying that anyone living in the U.S. illegally will soon have to register with the federal government, and those who fail to do so could face fines, imprisonment or both.

This is why you fight these cowards.

Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights.
He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

I WANT my taxes to help children. I WANT my taxes to feed people. I WANT my taxes to help the elderly afford medicine. The government should not be run like a business. It should be run to provide for the people. That's what taxes are FOR.
