Harvard Law professor Michael Klarman gave an inspiring lecture about the need for lawyers to protect democracy. I was honored that he noted the attacks and threats aimed at me. His words serve to steel my spine and make me more committed than ever to fighting for democracy. Thank you professor.🙏

Poorly photoshopped tattoo pictures. Fake margaritas added to a photo op. A demand letter accidentally sent to Harvard. Nonsensical tariff stats and formulas. We’re losing our democracy to the dumbest mother fuckers ever.

Who could’ve foreseen that it would be a disaster to put an unqualified Fox weekend host with a drinking problem and sordid personal history in charge of the military

This is getting fewer headlines than it should. After coming to power promising to help working people, the president is revealing his real priorities by actively making it easier for banks to rip people off.

This is evil and awful and trans people everywhere deserve better than what's happening right now. And I think it's impossible to overtstate the pivotal role that JK Rowling played in mainstreaming hateful and false ideas about trans people. Every dollar you give her goes toward efforts like this.

I’ve said this repeatedly but I’ll say it again: if you’re able, get an IUD. it’s easily removed but otherwise lasts for years. (voice of experience here: ask for a paracervical block pre-insertion, and if they refuse, find another dr)

Another day, another stock market selloff. It's time to admit that collectively we are the dumbest country of all modern nations. There is no other excuse for electing Trump, an incompetent conman who has no business being president.

Elon’s teenage hatchet team just walked into the Peace Corps—yes, the agency that sends Americans abroad to build schools, fight disease & empower communities. Gutting this is not “efficiency,” it’s cruelty. Hands off the Peace Corps, Elon. We see you. #HandsOff www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

I hope Wall Street has figured out two things: 1. Trump is a disaster for the U.S. economy. 2. There is no price at which many of us would ever buy a Tesla. I wouldn't take it for free with a $5,000 rebate. I think they have an inkling of the first but are still in denial about the second.
