Like frogs in boiling water.
Until they find themselves standing outside of a courthouse vouching for the character of someone who possesses none.

For 33 years, Salman Rushdie has embodied freedom and the fight against obscurantism. He has just been the victim of a cowardly attack by the forces of hatred and barbarism. His fight is our fight; it is universal. Now more than ever, we stand by his side.

This #Juneteenth, we celebrate the emancipation of Black Americans and honor those who fought for this nation to live up to its founding ideals of liberty and equality for all.
May we honor their legacies through action — building a world fueled by justice and steeped in equity.

End the filibuster. Abolish the electoral college. Pass the For The People Act & the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act.
We are in a Democratic emergency. We need to act like it.
THIS is why we must end the filibuster and pass the For the People Act.
Corporate money has no morals, no memory, and no place in our elections.
