Women's rights are human rights.

They aren't negotiable on International Women's Day or any day.

Here in Illinois, we celebrate the contributions of the incredible women in Illinois' history and honor them by continuing to push our state forward.

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance.

Democracy requires your courage.

Seeing the sheer amount of people (including MANY of those around me) who don’t give a shit about what’s happening in this country is so terrifying and disheartening 😃

An incredible photo from Berlin this evening.

An estimated 100,000 have been on the streets in the German capital today to protest against the Far Right and fascism in Europe.

I have the teeniest platform (footstool? phone book?) from which to speak, & no idea how to use it to express my rage at this dismantling of our democracy and vilification of innocents. But I believe every voice is required to stand up for what’s good & right. So here’s mine.

What makes this so striking is that we almost never see it. She confronted Trump directly - made him sit there and listen.

Cynicism is not “savvy.” The idea that nothing matters anymore and all is lost is self-defeating. And it’s the easy way out. This is harder: Figuring out ways to push back.

This matters. Not because I think Trump is capable of mercy or empathy towards these vulnerable groups. But because it is a public act of defiance.

Contrast that with all these other powerful people in this country signaling nothing but appeasement and obedience.
Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde to Trump: "I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender people in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives ... and the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals"

Wow. Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde fearlessly calls out Trump and Vance to their faces. This is heroic.

I skipped all the coverage of the inauguration. I knew the ending already. Ruined the whole movie for me.
