“In the Heights,” the Broadway show about life in a largely Hispanic New York neighborhood, brought the audience to its feet at Revere High School, where students performed in the school’s first musical in over 30 years. https://t.co/7WucLaes1O
Incredible. High school and college students are pouring into downtown Nashville from across the area for another march to the Capitol to demand Republicans pass gun reform. (h/t @trublu24) https://t.co/7zoe6hhgwt
Want to know how far the Republican Party has drifted on its interpretation the 2nd Amendment? Here's what Republican Supreme Court Justice Warren Burger-appointed by President Nixon-had to say about the NRA:
"The Gun Lobby’s interpretation of the Second Amendment is one of the greatest pieces of fraud, I repeat the word fraud, on the American People by special interest groups that I have ever seen in my lifetime. The real purpose of the Second Amendment was to ensure that state armies – the militia – would be maintained for the defense of the state. The very language of the Second Amendment refutes any argument that it was intended to guarantee every citizen an unfettered right to any kind of weapon he or she desires."
Make sure everyone sees this.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again:
I don’t care if an indictment whips the base into a frenzy.
I don’t care if Ma & Pa Qrackhead send him every last dime they have.
I don’t care if it makes him more popular than Jesus Christ, cookie dough ice cream and Sally Field combined.
He could kick a puppy on pay-per-view and raise a million dollars doing it.
Either we are a nation of laws or we are not.
And not charging him will do far more damage to this country than indicting him ever could.

Who needs a lift so THEY can vote?
If you can apply to vote by mail?
Please. Have a plan. Vote.
Marjorie Taylor Greene calling on the Supreme Court to end hundreds of thousands of happy same-sex marriages because of “the Bible” while her and her husband are divorcing is one of the best summations of Republican hypocrisy I’ve ever seen.
Barnes & Noble’s Banned Books section (kids edition). Please zoom in on the reasons, and question why we would ever allow to these small minded people decide what our children can read.

To everyone who told me to “calm down” in 2016 and that I should “stop being so dramatic”…
The guy I was freaking out about went on to stack SCOTUS with Christofascists, extorted a country, plotted a coup, incited an insurrection & stole actual f’ng nuclear secrets, so f*ck you.
I’m once again asking my colleagues in the Senate to look at what is happening around the world and find the courage to stand up to the fossil fuel industry.
