Democrats are having a resurgence. It's great to see this.

For so long Democrats shied from doing the right thing, waffling on issue after issue, pandering over and over but with this sit in, it's clear they aren't afraid anymore. The next few years are going to be amazing.

That we want our government to really fight for us.

This action is incredible. I've never seen anything in Congress like it before. Mad props to John Lewis!

Mad props to Bernie!
