What he said:

The Republicans and their supporters clearly have a problem with reality. In their corporate mindset, reality is perception: they operate on the premise that, if enough people believe it, or if enough people have to believe it in order to keep their jobs, then it's true. Now maybe that can work in politics and in the business world: as the old saying goes, it's hard to get someone to believe in something if their livelihood depends on them not believing it.

But science doesn't give a damn what we think. The laws of physics and nature don't change because our opinions change. It's dangerous enough when you make war on a country based on lies, making war on reality, especially when so much of our society depends upon science and technology, and you're in control of enough destructive force to wipe out the entire planet, is dangerous on levels I can't even imagine. Maybe the Republicans think they can win such a war, but to paraphrase the song, you can fight reality, but reality always wins.

Also, in memory of Coretta Scott King, a reminder of the Six Principles:

Nonviolence is not passive, but requires courage;

Nonviolence seeks reconciliation, not defeat of an adversary;

Nonviolent action is directed at eliminating evil, not destroying an evil-doer;

A willingness to accept suffering for the cause, if necessary, but never to inflict it;

A rejection of hatred, animosity or violence of the spirit, as well as refusal to commit physical violence; and

Faith that justice will prevail.

Why is it that these days it's that last one that's hardest to believe?
