Yes we can!

Today millions of Americans stood up for democracy, freedom, and the rule of law. Across the nation an outpouring of sentiment sent a message that resounded from every town hall, living room, place of business or worship. That message was united and clear: save our democracy from the illegitimate and illegal authoritarian power grab represented by Donald Trump and his Republican Party. The actions of their administration have not only further delegitimized the US government and ruined the reputation of a country once admired and emulated throughout the world, they have literally killed thousands of innocent people whose lives depended on the solid, competent governance of a potent and wealthy nation. Both we as citizens and the world deserve much, much better than to have that wealth siphoned off and hoarded by a small group of cynical, manipulative con artists in the service of some of the most lucrative business interests in the country and then wasted in the most profligate and inexcusable fashion on a pointless series of military escapades culminating in the death of American citizens and a violent international war which has already caused widespread destruction and death; a conflict presenting no easy resolution and one apt to merely line the pockets of the defense industry while the rest of the country languishes in poverty or burns.

Today the people of this country showed what is possible when ordinary citizens take matters into their own hands to protect what the Constitution guarantees to everyone: freedom of speech and assembly. The right to criticize leaders and powerful interests. They showed that you don't need to be rich or well-connected to use the tools at your disposal to enact real change; that people in all parts of the country are united behind a common purpose and are not afraid to speak up. That is an incredibly powerful message, and I would like to thank everyone who participated in this movement for their admirable courage and fortitude. We are not alone. Together, we can work to unseat the authoritarians and roll back their heinous agenda that has poisoned the discourse of the nation and so weakened us a people and reduced our standing as a respected and trustworthy partner on the international stage. Keep up the pressure and let's take this momentum to the polls to defeat the MAGA movement for once and for all!
