The 1st Amendment wasn't written so we'd feel free wishing each other a happy birthday. It was written so we'd feel free saying sharp and difficult things, such as stating plainly that the president of the United States is a convicted felon who is trying to destroy American democracy.

I'm so upset with Jeffries saying if Dems win the majority in congress, impeachment of Trump will not be a priority, I can't let go. If Democrats refuse to be the opposition party, we will need to start a new one. A true opposition party. We are not going back to the system that brought us Trump.
