Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.

Trump signs an order which overturns the clear language of the 14th Amendment about citizenship for all people who are born here. If the GOP Supreme Court has a shred of credibility about the Constitution, this will be immediately struck down.

The Documentaries by Frontline/PBS about the Jan6 Capitol Invasion. A great example of real journalism. There’s now talk on the right about wanting to get rid of PBS. Just another part of the effort to silence the truth. Here’s a trailer.

How the U.S. does under Donald Trump's upcoming leadership is irrelevant. The moral cost of getting there has already been too steep.

"I think I'm beginning to get it - if it's a policy benefiting the rich, then it doesn't have to be paid for, should last forever, and is good for America. But if it benefits the poor, we can't afford it, we should end it as soon as possible and it will destroy our nation from within." - Jon Stewart

I remember the 1966 University of Texas tower shooting & the 1989 Stockton Schoolyard shooting & all of them in-between and after. And yet, Congress and state legislatures not only do nothing to help, they make it worse what with their pro-gun laws and complete disregard for the sanctity of life.
