Then they came for the Jews
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew
Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me.

First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist
Then they came for the Socialists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialist
Then they came for the trade unionists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a trade unionist…

“Instead of the angry finger-pointing, can we just for one day agree that it is horrible and monstrous to shoot another human? On behalf of my family, we send love to the Kirks and to all the children, parents and innocents who fall victim to senseless gun violence.” ~ Jimmy Kimmel

Saw a post a bit ago I agree with.

Perhaps Colbert and Kimmel should go to Canada and start a production company.

I’m in.

How quickly we are devolving into a fascist state. “Never again” is almost here. My great grandparents couldn’t fathom the concept and delayed their escape from Germany. eventually they departed, but were denied visas to disembark in the US. They were returned to Germany and murdered.

A reminder that every small bit of good you do - whether it be putting art into the world, helping a friend or stranger, donating to a good cause, or just listening to someone who needs to vent - offsets all the evil in the world just a little bit. And sometimes that's just what the world needs.

Opinion | ‘Our Kids Are the Least Flourishing Generation We Know Of’ The social psychologist Jonathan Haidt discusses the “parents’ revolution” on smartphones that his book “The Anxious Generation” has started.

A long read (or listen) that is relevant for all parents, especially those with young children. I’m definitely going to check out the books mentioned at the end.

Tonight, we forced Republicans to take a simple vote:

Can we all agree that billionaire corporations like Amazon and Tesla - who take home over $1 billion in sheer profit a year - shouldn't get another tax handout?

Republicans said no.

Please keep fighting. Does Congress have no recourse? How can he keep making these changes without Congress?

Please do something! And Dems need to boycott his speeches.

😂😂😂 oh that is excellent.

Tesla's market value tumbles below $1 trillion as its Europe sales slump Tesla's stock tumbled 8% on Tuesday, pushing its market value below $1 trillion for the first time since November after data showed the electric car maker's sales slumped in Europe in January.

Tesla sales tumbling in EU. I hope the US follows.

Hi, also from Michigan, well, sorta, it’s where I went to high school and colleges.

I do understand. I’m wondering if being fired may end up being more beneficial for many. En masse, there could be a significant legal action. I guess I am assuming that there still might be a justice system left. 😱

Saw this play last night at The Invisible Theater in Tucson. It made me feel like this shitshow is worth fighting for. I guess I won’t move to Mexico. 💖

I think govt agencies were required to. I wonder what the repercussions of not following the law would have been. Anyone know?

It’s a f-ing nightmare for state and local officials right now, too. Well, all of us. 😱

I don’t understand how this is all happening since Congress is supposed to hold the purse strings, but it still seems like it could. Perhaps if Polis calls CO a sanctuary state, the asshole will take his retribution out on CO.

I think we have to be careful right now, and that’s what Polis is doing. In all of the states I am sure all of the elected officials are walking on eggshells right now because if they piss that asshole off, he withdraws all the funding.
