"I didn't know he would do this."

Yes, you did, or you voted while being completely uninformed which is just as bad.

Prove you didn't know it by joining folks resisting the regime. Prove it by disavowing him. Prove it by fighting for what's right. Otherwise, just be quiet.

Someday soon, he'll get his parade. We'll ALL watch it. The whole world will remember where they were. The cheering and applause will be insane. We'll have tears in our eyes, and there will be commemorative merchandise.

It will be the best funeral ever.

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

Democracy requires your courage.

For those of us in America......that actually READ some of the books they want destroyed......

🔥 DAMN! — @benniegthompson to @kristinoem: “I’m glad you found time among your many photo ops and costume changes to testify.”

Who could've guessed joining a make-believe Resistance against an Evil Empire would ever happen in real life?

I see you there, putting in the work. Keep at it. Write that thing. Paint it. Sculpt it. Compose it. Photograph it. Play it. Record it. Choreograph it. Draw it. Cook it. Knit it. Whatever. Keep making art.

Whenever I feel embarrassed I remind myself that at least I’m not a man in his 40’s that vapes

Yes, I'm pissed about the jumbo jet too. But this is actually the most important story today.

It's 2015. President Barack Obama has accepted a "sky palace" jumbo jet from the Qatari government, which he'll own after he leaves office. "Everybody relax," he says in an interview with the New York Times. Everyone does. The networks then televise the military parade in his honor on his birthday.

Back from Rome and Melania couldn’t get away fast enough. Separate motorcades.

You have been watching the greatest economic disaster strategy from an American President in history.

Texas bill could punish bookstores for 'obscene' books A new bill in the Texas Legislature, authored by Rep. Nate Schatzline, would allow businesses to be held liable if a minor reports damages from "obscene" books.

It was never just about schools, it was never just about libraries, and it isn't actually about the books.

It's about finding a way to banish entire people, entire ideas, out of society, back into the closet or worse.

This is your regular reminder that executive orders are not royal decrees. Because America has no king.

HHS plans to cut the national suicide hotline’s program for LGBTQ youth In February, the program received an average of 2,100 contacts per day.

Powerful story from Pete Buttigieg about him coming out. From Flagrant Podcast.

Supreme Court seems ready to uphold key part of Obamacare's preventive care The case challenges the authority of a panel of health experts called the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF).

Some good news. Medications and services that could be affected include statins to prevent heart disease, lung cancer screenings, HIV-prevention drugs and medication to lower the chance of breast cancer for high-risk women.

Bro they lobotomized your aunt

Marriott’s CEO said it straight: “We welcome all… we create opportunities for all… that’s who we are as a company.”

He went back to his hotel to find 40K emails from Marriott associates worldwide saying “thank you.”

Plenty of CEOs talk. Capuano showed up.

Marriott still has my business.

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate.

The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns.

Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care.

The list goes on and on.

Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.
