“Silence in the face of authoritarianism is complicity. Speaking out is a patriotic act. Democracy doesn’t defend itself. It requires participation, vigilance, and courage from ordinary people.” – Rob Reiner

Volodymyr Zelensky really loves his country. How else could he endure dealing with Trump and his lies, subservience to Putin and profound ignorance?

I think it’s high time we take back the national narrative. For centuries Americans of all races, genders, religions, and abilities have worked to create a more perfect union, and we should shout from the rooftops that WE are America. Not these idiot white supremacist authoritarians.

Jasmine Crockett: “You can wave all the flags you want to, but the most unpatriotic people we have in this country are MAGA and this president. We are the real patriots and it is time for us to take our flag back and show people what America is about.”

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

Covering Harris’s "closing argument" speech tonight in DC, I was really struck by how fully her campaign has taken back the patriotic aesthetics and rhetoric once associated with the GOP—while Trump's descriptions of America have become darker and more dystopian. pic.twitter.com/ptlEykXoUU

The DNC and RNC conventions are vastly different. The RNC convention was 100% about being Donald Trump, the DNC is 100% about being American.

Joe Biden did something today that the autocrats, dictators, and the rest of the oppressive leaders in the world would never do: he put country over party and power.

Donald Trump tried to violently overthrow an election.
Biden stepped aside to save one from a future tyrant.
"If we are to have another contest in the near future of our national existence, I predict that the dividing line will not be Mason and Dixon's but between patriotism and intelligence on the one side, and superstition, ambition and ignorance on the other."

You can't have it both ways. You can't only cry "baseball is too political" when it concerns LGBTQ+ people and people of color. https://t.co/dJGSlDAncy
Flight 93 sacrificed their lives to protect the Capitol and 20 years later MAGA Republicans attacked it.
