"We CANNOT be SILENT and COMPLICIT in the face of fascism, authoritarianism, and incompetence." I won't be silent on Saturday. I have 2 No Kings events to go to.

Maybe quit voting for their fucking bills then? Maybe quit confirming their nominees? Maybe shut down the Senate with the many procedural tools available to you? Maybe do something other than send sternly worded letters?

I have a lot to say and am going to say it tonight at 7:30pm in a special free Democracy Docket newsletter. I warned you then and we’re doubling down now. hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0

Rest in Peace Sylvester Stewart, better known as Sly Stone. He was an incredibly creative, innovative & influential band leader, song writer, performer & record producer. He suffered from COPD & dies of heart failure surrounded by his 3 children & other loved ones. So much of his work was positive.

This is how Fox News' website characterized what happened to Sen. Padilla today: "Democrat senator forcibly removed after crashing DHS Secretary Noem's press conference." A huge black headline and of course they used the adjective "Democrat" instead of the proper "Democratic."

Noooooooooo! Aside from the fact Trump should be barred from setting foot on any university campus in the nation, he won't understand a single word anyone says.

THIS IS INSANE! Every minute of these people's public behavior is Fascist. Not to mention they lie as easily as they breathe.

Thank you, @captmarkkelly.bsky.social. Citizens of states considering school vouchers should pay attention to this. Vouchers help no one but healthy white kids, many of whom already attend private schools on their parents' dime. It's another gift to the HAVES at the expense of your state budget.

The Trump administration is so incompetent that the National Guard troops deployed to Los Angeles aren't getting paid due to delays in issuing official activation orders. 🤡 www.military.com/daily-news/2...

Those who wish for a do-over better show at their local No Kings demonstration on Saturday. We need every person who thinks Trump is engaging in Fascism to come out. Don't say you're scared. You owe it to your country to show up. If you see police or soldiers, sit down & put yr hands on yr head.

I'd like @msnbc.com to know that I watched every minute of Deadline White House today & I truly appreciate the obvious emotion @nicollewallace.bsky.social showed in response to the FBI's attack on Sen. Alex @padilla.senate.gov. Her guests also had excellent comments that reflected the shock I felt.

Operation Safe Online Summer shows what’s possible when law enforcement agencies come together with one goal—protecting our kids. I’m grateful to all our local, state, and federal partners for their teamwork. www.abc15.com/news/crime/m...
