If any marginalized group has to fight for equal rights…then our systems and laws are NOT equal. Read that again. Take all the time you need.

Stephen Miller is privately raging over deportation numbers he deems too low. So he's shifting huge amounts of law enforcement resources away from fighting serious crimes and into his immigration crackdown. If voters knew about this, they'd recoil. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/1961...

Chris Murphy: "We can't be preparing for the 2026 election. It might not come. All of our focus right now has to be on protecting the democracy, about stopping the corruption."

The ignorance of this administration is jaw-dropping. On Wednesday, Rep. Summer Lee (D-PA) asked Education Secretary Linda McMahon if teaching the Tulsa Race Massacre or Ruby Bridges counted as “illegal DEI.” McMahon wouldn’t give a straight yes or no. That says everything.

My personal strategy moving forward will be to open the dialogue between the reality my family & friends believe they live within & the facts of history. This decision reduces my own mana. It reduces every Pākeha’s mana. We can be so much better than this. 🤦‍♀️ #nzpol

I’m officially running to be the Ranking Member of the House Oversight Committee. These are not normal times—and this cannot be a business-as-usual moment. Read my full letter to my colleagues here: crockett.house.gov/media/press-...

‘Men are afraid women might laugh at them, women are afraid men might kill them’… We need better laws. 🤬 #nzpol “The possession of photos of the women in gyms and shopping were not illegal because even though they are zoomed in close on parts of their bodies, they were taken in a public place.”

Everyday people in blue cities standing up to masked ICE thugs while their elected Democratic mayors and governors sit by and do nothing to protect the people they're supposed to represent.

With fires across Canada, folks are asking what to expect here this wildfire season. What’s important to know is that the BC Wildfire Service always prepares for the worst. It’s why we’ve got full-time teams, new tech, & more. BCWS is ready for whatever may come. (From CTV News) #BCWildfire

We are up against people who literally want to destroy America. These are the technocrats. The broligarchs. They hate the Constitution. They hate democracy. They hate equality. They are greedy racist fascists. We must not let them succeed.

San Diego. Minneapolis. The urgency is showing and I’ve never been this confident that the people will win. I’ve never been this proud to be an American. From the bottom-up is how we fix this. We walk in fear but we walk together. Thank you. We have a role to play where we can. We all get to choose.

Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick displayed his power and hypocrisy during the 89th Texas Legislature, and signs he’s beginning to slip. He reminds me of my East Texas grandma more and more. www.houstonchronicle.com/business/col...

RFK Jr. is absolutely poisonous. He has now caused Dr. Lakshmi Panagiotakopoulos, the person in charge of COVID19 vaccinations at the CDC, to resign. She did so because RFK Jr. demanded that the experts in charge of vaccine guidance listen to him and not to the scientific evidence.
