Has anyone tried turning the government off and back on again?

Pilots are paid by airlines. It's the air traffic controllers who aren't getting paid. They are professionals and will do their job like they always do. Problem is there just aren't enough of them because they aren't getting paid.

I miss the days when I disagreed with Republicans but didn’t think they were all psychotic criminals.

People sharing these stories, the folks stepping up, friends sharing that they’ve donated or are volunteering gives me hope.

Just adore this

Merkley: "What we've seen is that democracies no longer die bc men w/guns go in and take it over. Instead, it's electeds who erode the separation of power. If you have a rubber-stamp Congress & courts that deliver more power to the executive, suddenly you have an authoritarian state. It's here now."

He said it himself. Abysmal failure of a president.

Do we say a man is sane when he calls in the military to fight a war when there is no war? If such a man is not sane, do we have a solution to stop the madness if he’s in the White House?

Amen. And not just us old people. Our grandchildren will understand, because we'll tell them.

The American healthcare system is actually perfect if you're a healthy person with no teeth or eyes.

Remember: If we allow ourselves to fall into fatalism, or wallow in disappointment, or become resigned to what is rather than what should be, we will lose the long game.

The greatest enemy of positive social change is cynicism about what can be changed.

This is the playbook, folks.

If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away.

Do not be quiet in this moment.

Gorgeous!

😕 🇺🇸 if this worked we’d be the safest place on earth. Maybe it’s time to try other stuff? Like addressing the root causes, poverty, inequality etc?

Or is that too crazy?

Gorgeous!

"There was gunpowder on my neck." A 10 yo who said the bullets went right past him.

MEDIA- PAY ATTENTION. YOU DO NOT PUT A CHILD WHO HAS "Gunpowder on his neck." On TV to win a rating.
NO. NO. NO. SHAME ON YOU.

There is no excuse for putting a traumatized CHILD on TV.

We. Have. A. Dictator. In. The. White. House.

You are living through the unthinkable: the president of the United States using the military to seize domestic power. The greatest crisis of executive power in American history, at the hands of the worst, most corrupt, and most unfit president in American history.

THIS…is the mindset. THIS…is the attitude. THIS…is the fire in the gut….that we are going to ALL have to adopt. I have. Have you? We can’t have people sit this one out…and still prevail.

The battle of our day is no longer about Democrats versus Republicans or left versus right.

The choice right now is democracy or dictatorship. And we're sliding faster than I ever thought possible into the latter.

Everyone must choose which side they’re on.

It’s Time for Americans to Start Talking About “Soft Secession” Blue states are finally learning what red states have known all along: you don’t need federal permission to govern.

"Twenty-three Democratic attorneys general now gather on near-daily Zoom calls at 8 AM Pacific, which means the East Coast officials are already on their third coffee. They divide responsibilities and share templates for lawsuits they’ve been drafting since last spring."
