It’s on all of us to stop the hate Honor the memory of the 16th Street Baptist Church bombing, by demanding leaders dial back the toxic rhetoric before more lives are lost. @dougjones.bsky.social — “If you don’t want folks getting shot, then tell folks to quit talking about wars.”

Truth-tellers, not rioters. Protect these two men at all costs. “You feel tough with your assault rifles and your sticks. You should be standing here with us. You’re on the wrong side of history.” “John Lewis said make good trouble… that means make trouble on behalf of democracy.”

In January 1941, President Franklin Roosevelt answered the "America First" of his day - and foresaw the "America First" of ours: "We must especially beware of that small group of selfish men who would clip the wings of the American eagle in order to feather their own nests."

Where are our former presidents and why are they not speaking out against what is happening? No comment about how Zelenskyy was ambushed and threatened in the Oval Office today? I bet if Carter were alive, he would not have remained silent. So disappointing.

If the Republican congress is so willing to cede its authority to the executive, do they believe that there will never be another presidential election where a Democratic candidate might win? They would not give this kind of power to a Democratic president. Is this ultimately their goal?

This is absolutely terrifying. What right does this man have to pull the levers of our government. He is not an elected official. He’s not even in the damn cabinet.

In addition to calling my own democratic senators to vote no on the confirmation of RFK Jr., I am also calling Republican senators and asking them not to vote for this pro choice Democrat. Worth a try.

I am terrified for the people of California and what may be in store for their recovery under the next Administration. Will he exact payment or fealty for assistance? Will he abandon the state? The climate is changing at an accelerated rate and we will have a vindictive conspiracist at the helm.
