“Trump's FCC chair says his investigation of NPR and PBS could end funding”

Tell me again how Republicans are against censorship.🙄🙄🙄

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too.

Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more.

Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.”

The Bishop Who Pleaded With Trump: ‘Was Anyone Going to Say Anything?’

“I had a feeling that there were people watching what was happening and wondering, Was anyone going to say anything?” Bishop Mariann Budde explained. “Was anyone going to say anything about the turn the country’s taking?”

So, she took a breath, and spoke.

Explains why Bill and Larry were absent from the festivities.

Here's how they report on him in the UK, where their free press has a spine.

I think I’d be put on a list if I shared my answer…although, I may already be on one. 😝 Hopefully we wake up and it’s all been a dream.

NEVER FORGET

Prepare yourself, they’re going tell your eyes were lying. Here’s how you set the record straight! 😒

I know most of you don't need me to tell you, but just in case: It was exactly what it looked like, and don't let anyone try to gaslight you otherwise.

See how beautiful our universe is... 🤩

Never forget this. The forces rigging our economy, undermining our democracy, polluting our planet, and stoking hatred are counting on you to give up. Cynicism is how they win. Stay clear-eyed and ready for the fight ahead.

Trump signs executive order attempting to end birthright citizenship The president issued several actions related to the border or immigration, including ramping up deportations and suspending refugee resettlement.

This is unconstitutional.

Opinion | Watch what Trump does. Don’t get distracted by what he says. Trump’s encore has begun. Pay attention to what he does, not what he says.

NYE resolution to not post anything that has the feds showing up at my door is being tested

I've programmed my computer to auto-replace "Trump" with "convicted felon Donald Trump" when I type because I don't have the guts to call him "the rapist Donald Trump."

Not once. But twice. But the sheep will make excuses about the wolf until they get eaten.

If you Google "inauguration day," you're greeted with an animation of fireworks forming the shape of the American flag. Google has never done something like this for the inauguration, sources told me, out of fear of appearing partisan. But that's changed now, with Sergey and Sundar attending.

Back on the grind tomorrow

Can we please start making fun of ALL Tesla’s now?

Time to sell your Tesla’s.

When will POC and Jewish voters for Trump realize that Nazis really don't like them? I'm asking based on the Nazi salute the co-president, Elon Musk, just did.

Last time there was an “America First” cult, we were actively ignoring WW2. It was only after the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor that we got off our asses. America accidentally fell forward into “greatness.” Read a history book before they are all burned.

Anyone else get funeral vibes by the inauguration?

11AM: How bad could the new administration be?

4PM: And Elon did that how many times?

Remember, today especially, that MLK said America suffers not just from "the vitriolic words and actions of the bad people but for the appalling silence of the good people." Keep the faith. Keep up the fight.

Opinion | Libraries can help end the culture wars. That’s why they’re under fire. Nothing threatens authoritarianism like a free, quiet place to absorb a full range of information.

We are about to enter an era of extreme and dangerous culture war in the United States. How do we protect our communities and work toward a cultural ceasefire? In this piece I wrote a couple months ago, I offer one possible path. wapo.st/40q1BDn

This is what half this country voted for. No excuses left. It’s not about the price of eggs. It never was.
