On this day in 1944, the Gestapo found Anne Frank and her family in their Secret Annex. Her diary stands as a warning against hatred and persecution. Eighty years later, we should recognize the warning signs before it’s too late.🙂‍↕️

No wonder the 🍊💩🤡 hates President Obama so much. That A-list was for an Inauguration, not a centennial celebration of the founding of the Nation.

Republicans are in charge of the Senate. Republicans are in charge of the House. Republicans are in charge of the Presidency. Republicans are in charge of the Supreme Court. Republicans are to blame for everything.

The founders believed that if a madman became president, members of Congress would serve the country’s interest and remove him from office. That seemed a reliable system to safeguard the republic. Boy, did they screw up.

US Olympic Curling Team member speaks out against ICE: "I'm proud to represent Team USA. But we'd be remiss if we didn't mention what's going on in Minnesota and what a tough time it's been. What's happening is wrong. There's no shades of gray."

Here's the thing, Greg — free speech is still protected by the First Amendment under the Constitution. If you want folks to stop saying you're the secret police who are kidnapping and killing people, maybe stop acting like the secret police who are kidnapping and killing people.

Bovino: "When politicians, community leaders, & some journalists engage in that heated rhetoric we keep talking about, when they make the choice to vilify law enforcement calling law enforcement 'Gestapo' or using the term 'kidnapping,' that is a choice & there are actions & consequences."

"I don't effing care that they have weapons": According to testimony from Cassidy Hutchinson, an aide to Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, Trump made this remark on January 6 when told that supporters with weapons were refusing to pass through Secret Service magnetometers to attend his rally.

Whatever is in the Epstein Files is so explosive that the leaders of the Department of Justice are openly breaking the law every day to keep us from seeing it. (Just a reminder amongst all the other stuff flying around.)

At pivotal moments in our history, it's never the story of cowards. It's the story of heroes. Heroes like the law enforcement officers who defended the Capitol on January 6th. Their bravery is a reminder that all of us play a role to defend our democracy.

“When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love has always won. There have been tyrants and murderers and for a time they seem invincible, but in the end, they always fall... think of it, always.” - Gandhi

If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage. The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.” It’s about control.
