Free elections don't always result in fair elections.
Discrimination does not 'make America great.' It makes America weak.
A president cannot defend a nation if he is not held accountable to its laws.
Failing to indict a criminal sitting president sends the message that those in power are above the law.
A president who has incited violence inspires citizens towards hate and violence.
Those who incite violence have no business lecturing others about unity.
If you voted for a man who said "Grab em by the pussy," you have zero room to claim to protect anyone in bathrooms.
Leadership by deception isn't leadership. It's fraud.
When you're dealing with frauds and liars, listen more to what they don't say than what they do.
Accepting fraud from our leaders means accepting fraud in our personal lives.
Electing a bigot enables further bigotry.
We elected a man who knows how to build walls when we needed someone who knows how to build bridges.
But I believe that, once the shock settles, faith and energy will return. Because let’s be real: we always knew this shit wasn’t going to be easy. Colonial power, patriarchal power, capitalist power must always and everywhere be battled, because they never, ever quit. We have to keep fighting, because otherwise there will be no future—all will be consumed. Those of us whose ancestors were owned and bred like animals know that future all too well, because it is, in part, our past. And we know that by fighting, against all odds, we who had nothing, not even our real names, transformed the universe. Our ancestors did this with very little, and we who have more must do the same. This is the joyous destiny of our people—to bury the arc of the moral universe so deep in justice that it will never be undone.
If you love your country, you must be willing to defend it from fraud, bigotry, and recklessness--even from a president.
