There’s not much to be said. Rough times ahead. Let’s never abandon the fight against oppression and evil. Let’s also remember to love one another, as best we can. Cruelty must not win.

Do you even remember what JOURNALISM looked and sounded like?

It sounded LIKE THIS.

@SuperViiral A little deeper than most cats!

Only Fox News could turn a broken escalator into a national crisis. Seth Meyers nails it, as usual. 😂😂😂

Echoing the teachings of Jesus and calling out Trump's cruelty, ignorance, and bigotry to his face, Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde delivers a sermon for the ages. Bishop Budde stared down authoritarian fascism and said 'Not today, motherfucker.' 😳👇

[Rev. Benjamin Cremer @Brcremer]

If your Christianity causes you to be offended by someone asking the most powerful person in the country to be merciful towards the powerless, then you have deeply, deeply misunderstood the teachings of Jesus Christ.

This.

If you’re afraid to criticize your government, congratulations, you no longer live in a Democratic Republic.

@anyonewantchips They better keep Lawrence O’Donnell.

The price of failing to elect Kamala Harris may prove to be very, very high.

A cabinet of con men and women might’ve been a laughing matter had it not been built to order for just one purpose: to destroy the government on which our lives depend. The only one laughing will be the Destroyer in Chief, our very own Nero.

[Connie Groh @ConnieGroh1]

@BeschlossDC Sadness.

[Michael McFaul @McFaul]

Many compare Trump to Putin. I have, too. But the moment right now feels more like the Yeltsin era, when Russia's oligarchs took advantage of an older & somewhat incapacitated leader to privatize the state for their own interests. I wrote about this at length in the 1990s. THREAD 1/

They are not planning a four-year term.

They are planning an everlasting dictatorship.

Are we all clear on this?

[Connie Groh @ConnieGroh1]

This was all entirely predictable and @RadioFreeTom and many others tried hard to sound the warning. We must continue to work against autocracy, but now the road is very hard.

[Laurence Tribe 🇺🇦 ⚖️ @tribelaw]

Every day each of us doesn’t say or do something to protest this insanity is a day we contribute to making it seem normal and making it harder eventually to undo.

So don’t let a day go by without registering your resistance — and refusing to signal your resignation!

[Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63]

The ability of demagogues & autocrats to surprise, to create a new scandal every day, is their superpower. It diminishes attention to the previous day's transgressions & normalizes them. It slowly numbs the senses, including outrage. Values are the only defense. Hold them dear.
