Just sat down on the Capitol Steps with my good friend @booker.senate.gov to have a real conversation about the dangerous situation we confront in America. And what we can all do to stop it. Tune in live: www.youtube.com/watch?v=XBej...

i genuinely want to know what the hell is wrong with this guy. he is a total monster and i am a little interested in how he got to be this way.

I don’t think a better headline could have been written about what happened yesterday. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Joking about disposing of American citizens to El Salvador as if they were less than nothing…do you find that offensive?

DOGE is a criminal conspiracy to defraud the people of the United States

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

When the history of this time is written down, the cowardice will be remembered as much as the fascism

Indeed.

KEEP CALLING. PEEL OFF ALL DEM SENATORS YOU CAN. ☎️: (202) 224-3121 Tell them to vote NO on Cloture and NO on CR. Vote is pushed to after 1:15ish for now. Situation is fluid. The only public YES votes are Schumer and Fetterman. They need 7-8 total. KEEP CALLING. Call retiring Senators too!

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

Tomorrow's headline: Trump's officials sold all our nuclear secrets to Putin without, um, realizing what they were doing. Riiiight.

Curious what everyone thinks is the best way to have a positive or any impact on the country, during the first 30 days of the new administration.

No matter where you fall on the TikTok ban, the President undoing by “executive order” a law passed by Congress and upheld unanimously by the Supreme Court is an unconstitutional abuse of power.

For the people in the back…

Truly bizarre how the media stopped talking about how shitty and batshit nuts Hegseth, Kash Patel, RFK Jr and Tulsi were since the shitty, batshit nuts Felon 47 started threatening Canada, Greenland, and the Panama Canal. STAY FOCUSED. 🤨

Here’s a question, at what point if this happens, do people on the right make the connection between republicans and cutting snap?

i think this is pretty much right. not a shock that the political economy of apartheid south africa produced a bunch of reactionaries who hope to replicate that political economy for the 21st century www.ft.com/content/cfbf...

I don't know who needs to hear this, but sex with an underage girl is called STATUTORY RAPE. Can we stop sanitizing it please?

I’m bi actually - but I’ve read the rest of the poem.

"More people died from homelessness than homicide in Nashville this year.” A friend shared this photo from yesterday's memorial at Riverfront Park.

Reading the Betrayal of Anne Frank - a cold case. And wow does it explain what is happening now.

As the oligarchy begins to take shape, this meme seems more prescient than ever. They have convinced you that immigrants are your enemy while they pick your pockets at the same time, you’ve been duped. It’s the billionaires who are ruining this country,not migrants. Always has been. #RiseAndResist

"The new arrangement represents one more step toward cooperation between political and economic development." -- NY Times 11/21/1938.

Cohosted a session last night on holding space : - new years is a lot of pressure. Don’t set goals if it feels like too much - i set mine in the middle of the year. - don’t compare insides to someone’s outsides. Elevate. Not compete - self care is anything that feeds you. #mentalhealth #selfcare

since the election I have missed a lot of routines. I’m no good to anyone if I’m not good to me so; - exercise - writing every day - eating meals not just bread Being kind and knowing that was ok to do, ok to recognize, and ok if it doesn’t change immediately. #bekind #selfcare #mentalhealth

The way male journalists write about the targeted harassment and abuse of women online is so deeply fucked. Every single time I'm targeted some man writes an article that boils down to "wow she must be loving this attention!". No actually, bc being the target of a harassment & smear campaign sucks

I am watching with grave concern over the actions of the South Korean president to declare martial law, all because the opposition has blocked his agenda and impeached his cabinet. Democracy is under assault across much of the world. We must be on highest guard here as well as Trump takes office.

Accurate.

Writers: yes, you are still a "real" writer if you - have never published anything - have no readers - didn't write anything this month - didn't write anything this year - can't articulate words anymore - can only float and mournfully wail - were murdered ten years ago on this very spot
