100+ people at the Myrtle Beach, SC #ProtectMueller protest.
Mostly boomer crowd. Speaker urging folks who remember the late sixties to mobilize again.
The Myrtle Beach #protectmueller protest closed with an oddly moving group rendition of God Bless America.
The whole thing lasted a very earnest, very committed 15 minutes. A boomer flash mob. #protectmueller
A Myrtle Beach #protectmueller protester visiting from Asheville, NC summed up the tenor of the rally.
Deleted a tweet: Myrtle Beach used to be in #SC01, which flipped blue on Tuesday, but it’s currently in the solidly red #SC07.

A weird tack for a guy whose whole pitch is his elder-statesman avuncularity to take. "I don't want to run, but all the kids in the race are crap, so here I am" is the opposite of the tone I'd have expected him to set.
Just a reminder that his instincts for primary-race messaging have never been any good, I guess.
"We have a great, deep field, and I'm honored to be running alongside this crew. Whichever of us wins the nomination would be a far better president than Trump, and if it's not me, I'll be working night and day to be sure they get to prove it" is Biden's natural lane right now.

One more thing on youth voting: There are a lot of folks in my mentions saying kids aren’t cognitively developed enough to vote. But it’s not clear to me what that means.
At 12, the typical kid is more than able to meet baseline standards for voting—understanding what an election is, learning about candidates, managing the act of voting.
When we bar kids from making choices they’re not mature enough to make, it’s generally because we’re worried that they’ll do harm to themselves or others if allowed to choose.

Just saw something on my feed that reminded me to remind you that if you’re a NYC (or vicinity) high school or middle school teacher and you’d like me to come talk to your students, all you have to do is say so and I’ll be there.
I've spoken with NYC middle school students about the history of youth activism, how they can make change themselves, whether we should lower the voting age—all sorts of stuff. And the conversations are always really lively.
And because it's so much fun, and because it's a subway ride away, and because I know that y'all don't have budgets for this stuff, I'm happy to do it for free. So shoot me a message if you want to set it up.

#ProtectMueller from what? He hasn't been fired during the entire time he's been appointed. Trump has the prerogative to fire him any time he wants and hasn't done so. You people overreact to EVERYTHING!!! The same people pushing Mueller are the same that opposed Ken Starr.
If Trump wanted to fire him, he could have done so. Why would he bother with it when Mueller is reportedly at the end of his investigation and may deliver his report at the end of the month?
Media drive liberals nuts into thinking something is going to happen, like HRC winning the 2016 election, and when it doesn't happen they start screaming in the streets like that has some mystical impact on anything. Stop your whining over something that isn't happening.

Massive turnout at Baltimore’s #ProtectMueller protest at War Memorial Plaza downtown — happening now.

@RepSarbanes just said “The Democrats didn’t take back the House — the PEOPLE took back the House.” Amen.
@RepSarbanes .@RepSarbanes: “This new guy, Matt Whitaker, is a walking conflict of interest.” #ProtectMueller
@RepSarbanes .@ACLU_MD’s @DVStrategies: “Jefferson Beauregard Sessions was the worst Attorney General in the history of the United States.... Despite this, a cabinet official should *never* be dismissed as an attempt to obstruct justice and evade accountability.”

Right now: People are gathering in Times Square to protest President Trump's firing of Jeff Sessions. The rally will begin here, with a march down 7th Ave. to Union Square. I'll be covering for WNYC.
The event is organized by @MoveOn @riseandresistny
@PENamerican @es_indivisible and others.

First chant of the night has begun: "Hey hey, ho ho! Donald Trump has got to go!"
Wouldn't be a proper rally without a protest pupper.

Hoping to be out of work in time to meet up with the protest somewhere on its route. #NoOneIsAboveTheLaw
The New York protest against the removal of Rod Rosenstein is way bigger than I thought and will grow by the minute. #TimesSquare
Notice how at the #ProtectMueller protest in Time Square you dont see any shields, armor, billy clubs, tiki torches, swastikas, confederate flags, racist or homophobic signs? That's because THIS is what "fine people" look like.

Something happened this week that alarmed me. @senjudiciary voted on a #ProtectMueller bill. This was an important first step to avoid executive overreach and ensure the #RuleOfLaw survives as an American value. Unfortunately @senjohncornyn and @sentedcruz voted NO. /1
They seem to think suspects should direct the actions of law enforcement. I am old enough to remember when the #GOP said it would #BackTheBlue and suspects got their day in court, but weren't allowed to obstruct the cops chasing them. /2
Ronald #Reagan knew about the #RuleOfLaw and understood #Freedom relies on people following the law. /3
