Three weeks from right now, we will be taking to the streets across the country on No Kings Day. Over 1,000 events are planned in response to Trump’s $100 million birthday parade in DC. We hope you will join us on June 14: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

wife: how was guarding the two paths today, honey? guard: [looking away] fine wife: did something happen? guard: [tearing up] no wife: would the other guard tell me something happened?

Quality discussion

I'm attending No Kings's event, “NO KINGS 50501 Portland OR” - sign up now to join me! www.mobilize.us/nokings/even...

Happy Mother's Day! This day is so full of joy for many and it can also be deeply complex and gutwrenchingly painful for others. My heart is with everyone today as I sit with my own complicated emotions. Hugs. Peace. Love. Be Kind. ❤️🙏🌷

Half of new moms have health insurance thanks to Medicaid. Let’s keep fighting to protect it.

“The demonstrations against Trump have not stopped. And they are every single day.” We’re taking to the streets on June 14 to deny Trump’s fascist birthday wish. There are already events planned in all 50 states for No Kings Day — please join us: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

An awesome rich task for a geometry or Pre-Cal class. What an interesting problem 😊 #iTeachMath #EduSky youtu.be/FUHkTs-Ipfg?...

June 14 is Trump’s birthday and his military parade in DC — but the biggest story of that day will be the actions we take everywhere else. Join our nationwide day of defiance to show that organized people power is stronger than Trump’s authoritarian aspirations: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

Sometimes I just stop, shake my head, and think how ridiculous it is watching my country be destroyed by a demented old man just because some white people are afraid of the future.

No notes. h/t @ianbremmer.com

Demand Congress immediately STOP funding for CECOT and launch an independent investigation into the megaprison. sign.moveon.org/petitions/no...

From a @talkingpointsmemo.com article: "[T]he top achievement Durbin cited from his 29 years in the Senate was the lifetime confirmation of 235 federal judges [...]. Of the confirmations, 2/3 were women, 2/3 were people of color, and 2/5 were women of color.” How many were white men? #iteachmath

This would work out well for math teachers.

I don't remember the last time I was this emotionally invested

Another story that must be told: An ICE agent grabbed Merwil Gutiérrez. One of his fellow agents said, “No, he’s not the one.” Merwil Gutiérrez is a 19-year-old asylum applicant who lives in the Bronx. He was the “wrong one.” ICE wasn’t there looking for him. “Take him anyway,” came the reply.

The House GOP budget would rip health care from millions and slash food assistance—just to hand billionaires more tax breaks. It's chaotic and cruel. Democrats are fighting for the people, not the ultra-wealthy.

No lawmaker in Congress should be able to own, buy, and sell individual stocks. We need to ban congressional stock trading—and I've got a bill for that.

@joshtpm.bsky.social and @tpm.bsky.social , I know the weekend is not your best time, but I’m disappointed to see no coverage or commentary about the massive Hands Off protests. Am I missing something?

I’m on the Morrison Bridge in Portland where thousands of protesters are marching. The bridge is completely closed to traffic, as people protest President Trump’s administration

This is Utah in case anyone’s wondering how pissed off people are. I have never seen anything like this.

This week, my Somerville constituent Rümeysa Öztürk was abducted in broad daylight by DHS officials and sent to Louisiana to be locked in a detention center. She has not been charged with any crime.
