Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde: "The vast majority of immigrants are not criminals. They pay taxes and are good neighbors...may I ask you to have mercy Mr. President on those in our communities whose children fear that their parents will be taken away."

Democracy is in serious trouble, but it's not dead.

We all have power, and we can use it together to defend our freedoms.

Take a look at the new @IndivisibleTeam guide for practical advice on how to fight back wherever you live.

excellent suggestions - in these dark times for the rule of law, the Dems have to use all of the small levers of power that they have to expose the threats that Trump poses to constitutional government.

Every story like this needs to properly convey how wildly extreme and unqualified these people are. Not just call them loyalists and hardliners. https://t.co/DqVUcFkHAv

"Sexist and abusive attacks on women, like 'your body, my choice' and 'get back to the kitchen,' have surged across social media since Donald Trump's reelection, according to an analysis from the Institute for Strategic Dialogue." https://t.co/bVSb26vB8T

Trump has now reaffirmed his plan to eliminate the U.S. Department of Education. For the record that department funds, among other things, all the special education and special needs program in public schools and public colleges in all 50 states.

“Authoritarianism is [when the leader] takes rights away, plunders the economy, and leads the country to ruin while he and his cronies are profiting… Instead of working together to solve our problems, there’s scapegoating and polarization.” @RuthBenGhiat

After winning historic # of Latinos,Trump names as border czar man who told 60 Minutes he would avoid family separation in mass deportation by also removing US citizen kids w/undocumented parents. (There are 4m such Latino kids.) https://t.co/SeQwvlWTtC via @NYTimes

@CoryBooker Thank you Sen. Booker - I appreciate you. I'll share your encouraging words with my son, too.

We start now.

[Steve Vladeck @steve_vladeck]

Republicans are going to have a 53-47 majority in the Senate, and yet here’s Trump urging the Senate to go into recess so that he can bypass it altogether.

In other words, he wants to install folks who couldn’t even get through *that* Senate.

It’s going to be a long four years.

If we’re only having comfortable conversations in politics, it means we aren’t talking to all the people we need to be talking to. What comes next will be hard but needed. Here are my lessons learned for having effective “uncomfortable conversations” in district Trump won. THREAD

[Ron Fournier @ron_fournier]

Uniquely isolated during the pandemic, these young men turned to podcasts and influencers to navigate loneliness and stress, said ⁦@dellavolpe⁩, polling director at ⁦@HarvardIOP⁩. To them, Trump is more of anti-hero than villain. https://t.co/j4clpUM5bB
