I was watching @maddow.msnbc.com tonight and was excited to see Rachel air the video I posted on Bluesky of the “No Kings” protest in my hometown of Huntingon, NY. The clip begins at 1:01 into the segment. Thanks for the shoutout, Rachel! 🇺🇸 #NoKingsDay #NoKings

Yesterday, millions of us reasserted the “We” in "We the people." We gained strength from our solidarity. We celebrated our numbers and our power. We will be steadfast. We will not cower to a dictator. We will win.

🤔

One of my biggest disappointments in American discourse over the past decade has been the mainstream media. With very few exceptions, they have failed the American people miserably.

Rand Paul: "I've never liked the idea of the parade. I grew up in the '70s and '80s, and the only parades I can remember are Soviet parades for the most part or North Korean parades. The parades I remember from our history were different...we never glorified weapons so much...then there is the cost"

This is bizarre. CBS News' OWN POLL found that "support drops dramatically" when respondents don't think dangerous criminals are the focus. And TRUMP HIMSELF is now backing off them. Media refusal to acknowledge all this is akin to a deep sickness. Padilla is right. newrepublic.com/article/1968...

The most Los Angeles sign ever. And it’s true.

We’ve got an amazing turnout at the “No Kings” protest in my hometown of Huntington, New York. Must be close to one thousand people here — deep in the heart of red Long Island!! 🇺🇸 #NoKings

Hello, Bluesky friends. Meet my older son’s dog, Cooper. That was already his name when my son adopted him earlier this year. So yes, his name is Cooper Cooper, lol. But you can call him “Coop.” ❤️

My husband @robertcooper-us.bsky.social and I just returned from our youngest daughter’s destination wedding in Aruba. Her lifelong dream was to get married on a beach on a private island, and she got her wish! 🏝️🥰 Walking our daughter down the aisle was one of the greatest pleasures of our lives! ❤️

Latinas For Trump Co-Founder, FL state Sen. Ileana Garcia, rips 🟠 ICE policies as “Unacceptable & Inhumane.” "Latinos for Trump" leader Hector Luis Valdes Cocho, picked up by ICE, in a detention center waiting to be deported. They probably helped print the Mass Deportation signs. Latino traitors.

People need to see what’s happening. ICE just took a dad while his teenage son watched, crying and powerless. Trump is ripping families apart—and some folks still say, “That’s what I voted for.” If that’s your take, that sentiment says more about you than it says about any undocumented immigrant.

Trump address at Ft Bragg a shameful politicization of active military. Their oath of loyalty is to the Constitution not a political leader. We are sliding into lawless behavior by the Trump Administration. Vengeance. Violence. Expel 11million migrants? A disaster.

America has never been broke. It’s just violently anti-poor. Troops in LA cost $134M — the price of 44 million school lunches. But sure, let’s keep pretending the issue is lazy parents and not a government that eats kids for breakfast.

ABC News has cut ties with its senior national correspondent Terry Moran after he posted that Stephen Miller is a “world-class hater” who “eats his hate.” Kudos to Moran for having the courage to speak the truth — and screw ABC News for not standing behind him and backing his right to free speech.

See the difference? 👀

Pride is a celebration. Pride is also a powerful statement about courage, community, and determination. We honor the trailblazers who came before us, join arms with those leading the fight for equality today, and empower the next generation to live boldly, freely, and with joy.

Hahahahahahahaha!!!!

It just so happens that he was also Trump’s lawyer, so he can’t reveal anything that would hurt his client Trump without facing disbarment.
