I heard some old friends at Pod Save America were in town, so I decided to stop by. As we saw this week, we can change this country for the better. But it’s going to take all of us getting organized and having honest conversations about the best way forward.

Just saw Superman. Was gonna do a whole bit about it walking in. That’d be a disservice. It’s an important piece of work and I’m not joking. I don’t even like superhero movies. Sprint to see it. Bring your kids and explain it to them. James Gunn had a time machine when he made it.

The IRS announced that churches and other houses of worship are now allowed to endorse political candidates to their congregations, effectively carving out an exemption to the longstanding ban on political activity by tax-exempt nonprofits.

BREAKING: Scientists are staging a “science fair” in the lobby of a Congressional building to tell elected officials about the critical knowledge the US will lose because their research grants have been canceled.

Our cutting off healthcare to the needy to enrich the greedy?
Our new concentration camps?
Our dying economy?
Our ditching due process?
Our corruption?

The astonishing thing about the autocratic victories in the US is how easy they were. Total pushover. Took a long time to tee up, sure, but in the end there was just nothing in the way. All those checks and balances never really existed.

I don't give a f#ck about rich celebrities and their latest status acquisitions.
I care about regular folk, who live their lives out with dignity and zero fanfare, in often trying times.
Those who possess little but would give you the clothes off their back, if you needed them.
They're my heroes.

There are only three political positions in America today
1) I like the fascism
2) I'll acquiesce to the fascism (reasons for this one vary: cowardice, access, denial, misguidedly thinking that acquiescence is savvy, etc)
3) I oppose the fascism
The rest is details

We’ve watched Trump and his failed appointees arrest judges and elected officials who impede their ability to arrest daycare and farm workers, all the while doing nothing to prevent the actual tragedies in Minnesota and Utah.
Start protecting America from the real threat.

More of this, please. Thank you.
The Trump administration is kidnapping and trying to deport American citizens who look “foreign.”
No warrant. No due process. No rights.
Americans voted for cheaper eggs, not for a night of broken glass.
