Senator Merkley's marathan speech is extraordinary. Turn it on if you are not watching it.

4. beeen tuning in off and on for hours now.

A lot of history, some literature, and complete explanations of what is going on without understating the risk to democracy.

I only wish that some of the magats who really need to hear it will. But there are many regular citizens who hopefully will be taking note and getting it for real.

6. K&R Keep speaking truth out! We must save our democracy!

I feel like we need a general work strike too.

ENOUGH! It may be too late, but I feel like we all need to fight harder. Putin is getting everything he wants and this regime back him, everything America stands against!

[calimary]

7. That's my Senator!

It’s just too bad he wasn’t moved to speak out until SEVEN MILLION of us got together and told him to!

8. An old axiom comes to mind: When the people lead, the leaders follow

We are seeing a lot of examples of the truth in that old wisdom. And we get a sterling example of why it is important for all of us to come out, be seen, and force the pols to listen up.
