[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

Here is Robert De Niro’s full statement about how Donald Trump should NEVER be president again:

“I’ve spent a lot of time studying bad men.  I’ve examined their characteristics, their mannerisms, the utter banality of their cruelty.

Yet there’s something different about Donald Trump. When I look at him, I don’t see a bad man. Truly.

I see an evil one.

Over the years, I’ve met gangsters here and there. This guy tries to be one, but he can’t quite pull it off. There’s such a thing as “honor among thieves.” Yes, even criminals usually have a sense of right and wrong. 

Whether they do the right thing or not is a different story — but — they have a moral code, however warped.

Donald Trump does not. He’s a wannabe tough guy with no morals or ethics. No sense of right or wrong. No regard for anyone but himself — not the people he was supposed to lead and protect, not the people he does business with, not the people who follow him, blindly and loyally, not even the people who consider themselves his “friends.” He has contempt for all of them.

We New Yorkers got to know him over the years that he poisoned the atmosphere and littered our city with monuments to his ego.  We knew first hand that this was someone who should never be considered for leadership.  We tried to warn the world in 2016.

The repercussions of his turbulent presidency divided America and rattled New York City beyond imagination.  Remember how we were jolted by crisis in early 2020, as a virus swept the world.

We lived with Donald Trump’s bombastic behavior every day on the national stage, and we suffered as we saw our neighbors piling up in body bags.

The man who was supposed to protect this country put it in peril, because of his recklessness and impulsiveness. It was like an abusive father ruling the family by fear and violent behavior.  That was the consequence of New York’s warning getting ignored. Next time, we know it will be worse.

Make no mistake: the twice-impeached, 4-time indicted Donald Trump is still a fool. But we can’t let our fellow Americans write him off like one. Evil thrives in the shadow of dismissive mockery, which is why we must take the danger of Donald Trump very seriously.

So today we issue another warning. From this place where Abraham Lincoln spoke — right here in the beating heart of New York — to the rest of America:
This is our last chance.

Democracy won’t survive the return of a wannabe dictator.

And it won’t overcome evil if we are divided.

So what do we do about it?  I know I’m preaching to the choir here.  What we’re doing today is valuable, but we have to take today into tomorrow – take it outside these walls.   We have to reach out to the half of our country who have ignored the hazards of Trump and, for whatever reason, support elevating him back into the White House. 

They’re not stupid, and we must not condemn them for making a stupid choice.  Our future doesn’t just depend on us. It depends on them.

Let’s reach out to Trump’s followers with respect.  Let’s not talk about “democracy.”  “Democracy” may be our holy grail, but to others it is just a word, a concept, and in their embrace of Trump, they’ve already turned their backs on it. 

Let’s talk about right and wrong.  Let’s talk about humanity. 

Let’s talk about kindness.  Security for our world. 

Safety for our families. 

Decency. 

Let’s welcome them back. 

We won’t get them all, but we can get enough to end the nightmare of Trump, and fulfill the mission of this “Stop Trump Summit.”

This is Justin Pearson. Remember him. Tennessee Republicans just expelled him for protesting gun violence. He — and Justin Jones — will go down as our nation's newest heroes. And young people will never forgive Republicans for this. Thank you, Rep. Justin Pearson.

Over 30 years ago, Donald Trump took out full page ads calling for my execution.

On the day he was arrested and arraigned, here is my ad in response.

LMFAO, Conservatives are desperately trying to find a hateful beer that doesn't care about our LGBTQ brothers and sisters as Anheuser Busch, Coors, and other companies are all showing their support.

Go woke, or go thirsty.
The choice is yours, haters.

There's always piss water, though. 🤣

[Victor Shi @Victorshi2020]

This is Justin Jones. Tennessee Republicans just voted to expel him from the House because he protested against gun violence. Young people are watching. The world is watching. Republicans are going to regret this and pay the consequences. We stand with you, Rep. Jones.

Angry White males under the age of 21 are allowed to purchase weapons of war no problem, but Women will be prosecuted for making health decisions to save their own lives.

THAT IS BULLSHIT.

Eleven mass shootings since Friday.

It’s the guns.

I was already a HUGE Beto O'Rourke fan before I heard that he's going to repeal Greg Abbott's abortion ban when he's elected.

Make it happen, Texas. 🙏

If separation of church and state has ended, the church’s tax-exempt status should too.

“They’re not here to hurt me.” Hmmm. Riddle me this: Who were they there to hurt? #January6thHearings

I think this is the moment that we share the abortion stories of powerful white men who would much rather have those stories remain in the shadows…

Let’s let the hypocrisy flag fly!

[Arianna Huffington @ariannahuff]

So, to sum up the Supreme Court’s week: life begins at conception and ends in a mass shooting.

[Ana Navarro-Cárdenas @ananavarro]

If you’re against abortion, don’t get one.
If you’re against contraception, don’t take any.
If you’re against same-sex relationships, don’t have one.
If you’re against same-sex marriage, don’t marry someone of same gender.

Do not impose your beliefs & religion on all Americans.
