It’s been a long day, but in short, bullies ain’t shit! I don’t care what title you hold! This isn’t some long gone reality tv show or failed casino; it is war! How dare a draft dodging dumb dupe humiliate an ally & berate a brave man who has actually been on a battlefield for his people?!

#RESIST to his FACE with songs. I especially love that the whole first row of singers were women and POCs. I know that has more to do with their vocal parts, but it's still a beautiful piece of theatre!!!

I keep seeing this. Guys, their literal job is to figure out what to do. They are not helpless even if they are not the majority. I really hope we can stop treating some of the most powerful people in the world as helpless and without sentience.

In 1973 when Roe was was decided the top 10% of earners held about 29% of the country's wealth- Income inequality felt lower than it had in a while-- Today they hold over 65%. Inequality ALWAYS starts with wealth inequality.

FACT OF THE DAY: In 1800 abortion was legal in the United States- and the top 10% of earners only held 4% of the income in the country. By 1840- when they were making abortion illegal the first time, the top 10% of earners owned 55% of the nations wealth. 1/2

tried to rewatch it with my kid years ago — at about the same age i was when i watched it for the first time (and LOVED IT). they were friggin petrified! it was legit scary. the 80’s really was about scaring the shit out of kids and letting us figure it out all by ourselves. HA!

At Cabaret yesterday, Cliff said his line “…if you’re not against all this then you’re for it. Or you might as well be”. The audience interrupted the scene to applaud that line so strongly it stopped the show. Doing a show about the onset of fascism right now is. . . chilling.

Contacting your congressperson is fine. But contacting your local TV station is better. One interview on local TV saying your congressperson should act is worth 1,000 office calls.

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

Louder for the repro rights peeps in the back: These assaults on trans healthcare and abortion care are the same fight! The Venn diagram of attacks on trans rights and abortion is a full-ass circle. They’re always after a 2-for-1 when it comes to eviscerating bodily autonomy. buff.ly/3PYLA2F
