The Republican-controlled House of Representatives just voted to censure
Rep. Al Green (D-Texas) for his act of civil disobedience during President
Donald Trump’s speech this week.

Democrats, led by the Black Caucus and Progressive Caucus, gathered around
Green and sang "We Shall Overcome." Before the vote, Al Green said that he
had the "privilege of going to jail" with the late Rep. John Lewis of
Georgia, the civil rights icon who Green said taught him the importance of
peaceful protest. "So I'm not angry with the speaker. I'm not angry with
the officers. I'm not upset with the members who are going to bring the
motions or resolution to sanction. I will suffer the consequences."

The consequences of standing up to Trump shouldn’t be censure. It should
be the public saying THANK YOU.

Crockett, Jamie Raskin, and Maxwell Frost – who stood up to Trump this
week and are showing BACKBONE in this moment. Donate $1 or more to each of
them here.

MSNBC shows Maxwell Frost walking out of Trump’s speech
wearing a t-shirt that says "NO KINGS LIVE HERE."
