1. I took 2 hours off last night to celebrate my adult son's birthday. I came back and the world was literally on fire. And I am furious about what is happening in DC, Philly, everywhere. I don't want to hear 1 word about civility. Fuck civility. We need radical change

2. In DC, I saw Trump take HIS new personal Supreme Court justice, Amy Coney Barrett, out on his Mussolini balcony to wave the final degradation of the Supreme Court in America's face. This is fascism, and if Democrats do nothing in 2021 it will fester. We must expand...

3. ...the court to undo this stain, and expand the judiciary with new jurists who will embody America's diversity instead of crushing it. But this depends on winning an election that Trump, Barrett and Brett Kavanaugh have shown their willingness to corrupt. I was trying to...

4. ...process this when the streets of Philadelphia erupted yet again, with another senseless killing of a young black man. Cops gunned down a mentally troubled man with a knife as his mother begged him not to. Despite the largest sustained protests in American...

6...this morning about what's happened to our country, then hold onto that anger and put it to use. Don't pray for civility...not yet. Don't circle Nov. 4 or Jan. 21 on your calendar as dates for going back to brunch. No one is going back to brunch. We need revolutionary change..

7. ...including completely remaking our judicial branch that's been corrupted beyond easy repair by Mitch McConnell and others, holding all of today's criminals, but especially Donald Trump and his family, to full account for all of their crimes against this country and humanity-

8. AND a brand new way of public safety in our cities that ends policing as we have come to know it in the era of mass incarceration. And if today's Democrats like Joe Biden aren't willing to make the changes that are necessary, then we need to replace them in '22 and '24 with...

9...real leaders who will do what it takes to make America a democracy -- not a fascist state or a police state or a theocracy. Let's stay mad, do the hard work beyond November, get this done -- and THEN maybe I'll see you at brunch -30-
