I’m watching the Panama v Guadeloupe Gold Cup game on TV as we speak. It is being played in Los Angeles. And the stadium is almost completely empty. A sport that in the U.S. is highly dependent on Latino audiences is no longer viable. The World Cup cannot come here.

Show up to the NO KINGS rallies. Be vigilant and peaceful and organized. Don't give in to terror and fear. They want you to be cowed into silence. Speak louder.

I’m outraged by the targeted shootings of 2 elected officials in Minnesota. My prayers are with their families. Every American, regardless of politics, should be alarmed—especially at a time where the bounds of our democracy are being tested. We must all come together & condemn political violence.

Individuals keep using the phrase “be safe” as they speak supportively about the “No Kings Day” rallies. But no one’s providing details as to how. So, I am going to share info from my regional media outlets: 1. www.kqed.org/news/1187136...

My dad, who has lived under a dictatorship, knows one when he sees one. His first text this morning is that we are now officially in a dictatorship. It is all pretty grim.

I’ll say this and then I’m gonna step back b/c 2026 IS THE ONLY NATIONAL ELECTION THAT’S IMPORTANT NOW. No Dem presidential candidate wins w/o high Black turnout & vote. So stop making it like Black voters are expendable or that you can serve up any candidate chosen by Pelosi, Clooney or MSM & win.

This is phenomenal. Sea surface temperatures are >5C above average to the west of the UK and around Iceland. It's the strongest area of anomalous warmth on the planet at the moment. It's the warmest in recorded history for northwest Europe.
