We just live in a john carpenter movie now.

This is the playbook, folks. If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away. Do not be quiet in this moment.

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say. This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand. All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

I’m from L.A. We did not feel freer with your jackboots in our city. I’m sure those in D.C. would agree. Get lost with this fascist propaganda.
