As I’ve said for over a month, the key to any chance of removing Trump is John Bolton. Last night the NYTimes ran a bombshell story: Bolton has written that Trump told him he’s denying Ukraine its aid til they announce they’re investigating the Bidens. BOOM. Demand Bolton testify

On what would have been his 95th birthday consider relevant words by James Baldwin from The Fire Next Time:
"Please try to remember that what they believe, as well as what they do and cause you to endure does not testify to your inferiority - but to their inhumanity."

54 years ago today, we were beaten, tear gassed, trampled by horses, and left bloody on that bridge in Selma. But we cannot rest. We cannot become weary. We must honor those who gave their lives for the right to vote. We must continue to find a way to get in the way. #goodtrouble

House passage of #HR1 is a great step forward in the fight to give power back to the people - where it belongs. It fights corruption, bolsters voting rights, and takes on gerrymandering. The question now is why are Senate Republicans not going to have a yes/no vote on the bill?

Pro-tip: if you can’t recall whether you ever dressed up in blackface or wore Klan robes, please do America a favor and stay out of public office. nyti.ms/2DQWD9Y

Powerful words in wake of recent hate-inspired acts of domestic terrorism: “Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.”

53 years ago today, the Voting Rights Act was signed into law by President Johnson. I shed a little blood on that bridge in Selma and friends of mine gave their lives so that no person would be denied their right to vote. Now do your part—get registered, and vote. #goodtrouble
