55 years ago today, 4 students were shot and killed for protesting the Vietnam war. 9 were wounded. Why can I easily imagine that happening today?

@mika-brzezinski.bsky.social Lafayette 148 is not a company most Americans can relate to with $600 blouses. A worth while segment, but it would be more valuable if regular Americans could relate, not just the ultra rich.

I just landed in San Salvador a little while ago, and I look forward to meeting with the team at the U.S. embassy to discuss the release of Mr. Abrego Garcia. I also hope to meet with Salvadoran officials and with Kilmar himself. He was illegally abducted and needs to come home.

Trump is shredding our Constitution and tanking our economy. Thom Tillis lacks the courage to stand up to him — I’ll be damned if I’m going to sit on the sidelines. I’m running to fight for a better future for North Carolinians. Join our campaign — let’s take back the Senate.

Are you looking for a one good news?! @wileynickel.com is running for US Senate in North Carolina! I have known him personally for years. He will beat Tillis and help get our country back on track, and I’m so excited to support his campaign! m.youtube.com/watch?v=AJNI...

@lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com Thank you for airing the segment from Senator Booker’s speech as your Last Word. It brought me to tears, for the hope and American spirit he inspired. I hope you will share that segment here for other Americans, and those around the world, to see.

They want an explanation for why the agency took down information used for planning disaster relief, studying medical outcomes and helping at-risk populations.

If you haven’t been watching what Trump is doing, he is implementing Project 2025. Pardoning Jan6 insurrectionists and firing their prosecutors; firing all high level FBI agents across the county, firing all Inspector Generals, dismantling our government. Be prepared.

And today, when Trump has ordered a freeze on all Federal Aid, including, for example, Medicaid payments, cancer research, Head Start and child care support, the VA, and on and on. Is this what GOP senators want? Please, contact your senators! Shame them!

Contact him and shame him. Today. Right now.

Wouldn’t Wiley Nickel make a great US Senator? He is a Climate Reality Leader, too! We need people who will represent the People and actually do good for our state and country.

This truck ran off the road behind my neighbors house and caught fire. The driver (who is ok) had a couple propane tanks in the back that exploded and caught the woods on fire. Fire, more terrifying than ever!

Please contact your US Senators regularly. If they are Republican, be sure to shame them for supporting Trump, in whatever is the news of the moment. Pick one! Pardoning Jan 6 insurrectionists, abandoning climate accords, the WHO, etc. Keep up the pressure! www.senate.gov/senators/sen...

Before the election, I warned that Trump would pardon all of the Jan. 6 defendants and some of them would form the core of a new rightwing paramilitary organization loyal to Trump. At the time, people dismissed me as alarmist. I stand by that prediction.

Norms indeed! I lay the whole of Trump getting away with his crimes, and now the threat of authoritarian rule in the US, at Merrick Garland’s feet. He did nothing, for what, a year? Two?! And what of the documents report?!
