I can't do much but cheer on so cheer I will.

That and promote the protests.

We have to win this thing, everyone do their part, no matter how small.

Democracy is on the line.

If you can at all manage it, attend your local protest today.

Like your lives depend on it.

Sometimes we need a moment, but if you tune out completely, they win. Fascism doesn’t need your support, just your silence.

My Tuesday evening was wonderful. Still going over the experience. Mysecond time seeing Elvis Costello. The man can jam. Last time I saw him was almost exactly 14 years ago. It was cathartic to see him again. Grateful for the magic and healing.

Adelita Grijalva won her election fair and square.

Now House Speaker Mike Johnson is refusing to swear her in because she would be the final signature to release the Epstein files.

Mr. Speaker, respect democracy. Obey the law. Swear Representative Grijalva in immediately.

Journalist Edward R. Murrow used his platform on CBS to criticize the witch hunts led by Senator Joseph McCarthy in the 1950s.

This is what real journalism should do β€” hold power to account, not capitulate to it.

Turning the military on citizens.

Attempting to rig elections.

Toying with the idea of declaring martial law.

Attacking political enemies and punishing those who speak out.

If this were happening in another country, what would you call it?

Deplorable. Once upon a time, if a president had use a speech to a military academy for partisan purposes, it would be considered a disgrace by both parties.

I'm seeing a lot of people talk about Mississippi reading scores the last couple of days. It really is incredible, and we've been championing it for years. That’s why we support Reading Universe-which helps spread the practices Miss relied upon. www.aft.org/ae/fall2023/...
