Michelle Wu's speech was fucking powerful.

The ash Wednesday ashes are a chefs kiss diplomatic smackdown to the theocratic alt right.

    “This federal administration is making hard-working, tax-paying, God-fearing residents afraid to live their lives,” Wu said. “A city that’s scared is not a city that’s safe, a land ruled by fear is not the land of the free.”

    Yeah, that's beautifully put.

    She's no Obama-level speaker but she can definitely speak. Wonderful to hear people performing a well-written speech around an important theme like that.

    I watched as much as I could before I ran out of time. Can we set up a prop from the old "gong show" and gong the people who can't speak well in Congress?
