“Anything that he can’t have and try to steal, he wants to destroy,” Mr. White said. “But it is important that we not let him do that.” Organizers had previously held demonstrations against Mr. Trump’s takeover… but the turnout on Friday was the largest in support of the performing arts institution”

I've only missed one vote in my life and it was a local primary--because I had the flu and wouldn't endanger others. Otherwise, I'm there, every time. I just don't want the thugs to demand my envelope and the ballot in it 🙁 I have the privilege of being able to get there in person; others don't.

I just got my usual postcard to request a mail-in ballot; I'm torn between wanting to make sure my vote is accepted, so I'm certain I haven't been unregistered, and not wanting to put my name on my ballot because we are supposed to have voter confidentiality. I'm leaning toward voting in person.

U.S. Senator Jon Ossoff (D-GA) put the ignorance and defiance of national intelligence nominee Jay Clayton on full display. Anyone who votes to confirm him after this is a danger to democracy and a danger to America.

There is so much poetry in Stephen Colbert celebrating his finale on the exact stage where the Beatles changed culture in 1964. Singing "Hello Goodbye" surrounded by his family, his band, and his crew before Paul McCartney flipped the final power switch. This was the perfect full-circle goodbye!

It's exactly like that. I keep saying that our time and our peace of mind is being stolen because we have to wake up and wonder what will happen today or what has happened overnight. It is terrible to cut any ties with our closest neighbors, or with Europe or the rest of the world.

America is currently being run by a Russian asset named Donald Trump, with a corrupted party of loyal criminals in Congress who are unable to hold him accountable or risk being exposed and arrested. Today's Republican Party works for Vladimir Putin.

It's really unfair to the people who have to be the "model" gay/Mexican/female/trans/whatever person who causes them to see the light either--how exhausting. The burden should be on the observer to empathize--and it shouldn't be a burden.

Another great example is relativity of sexism or harassment--"Would you want your mother/sister/daughter to have to experience that?" How about just this individual who's experiencing it--is her pain only understandable when you can think of her in relation to someone from your own family?

Repubs famously oppose rights for people from marginalized groups, until they discover that they have one in their family ("oops, my son is gay; now I'm for gay rights" or "huh, my daughter married a Mexican"), and then they see the light. It shouldn't have to happen. Have empathy for fellow humans.

Republicans' (well, "Republicans,"as most have been replaced by the cult) concerns end at the end of their noses. Only something negatively impacting them or someone they love changes their minds. "The Left" want good things for other people even there's no benefit for us. It's called empathy.
