You can’t erase who people are.

I did pro bono work for Whitman Walker in the late nineties. This absolutely breaks my heart. They were ground zero in the AIDS crisis in DC and this should not be who they are. Staggeringly bad decision.

The shortest honeymoon in history.

Awful. I hope she sues.

Out now: this week’s Fridays in Trumpland. “History is packed with men who thought they were invincible– kings and their kingmakers, sneering down on the masses, unaware of the rotted and crumbling pillars beneath their feet– until it was too late.” open.substack.com/pub/newslett...

Iowa pollster Ann Selzer filed an absolutely blistering response to Trump’s lawsuit against her and Des Moines Register, calling it a flagrant attempt to circumvent the First Amendment. www.thefire.org/sites/defaul...

BREAKING: @pogo.org sued Trump and DOGE in federal court in D.C. today over the administration's efforts to treat DOGE records as presidential records not subject to FOIA for now. Complaint: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

The 'find out' phase is here.

I am the great-grandson of a man who led his family out of the shtetl to a strange land in search of a better life. I am the grandson of the three-year-old boy on that journey. As you know, my name is Marc, but my Hebrew name is Elhanan—after the warrior in David’s army who slew a powerful giant.

Happy Black History Month

New: DOGE's spending has been secret. No longer. My colleagues have uncovered it. www.propublica.org/article/doge...

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

Doing some research on the effects of chronic stress on the brain this morning for some programming we're doing on resilience in movement building, and whew, we need neuroendocrinologists talking about the impacts of what we're all living through on long & short term brain function. We can heal but

Crockett: "Down in Alabama, who's broke. Down in Louisiana, who's broke. I can go through pretty much the entire south and tell you that they're broke and rely on a lot of welfare from the government. To be perfectly honest, it is tax dollars from these big blue states...we're in the find out phase"

It was an honor to sign the guest book in the home of Anne Frank. I was here as a younger man and thought about her life as a dark chapter of history. Today, I can’t help but think of her story as one of caution. Our world is fragile, and it’s incumbent on us not to break it.

Just now picking up my daughter’s Claudia’s Corgi, Gracie, from her spaying procedure from Friendship Animal Hospital in northwest DC. It turns out they are doing something amazing for people victimized by the insane government purges 👉

What a shame. Teamsters deserve better than this.

I’m George Takei and I approve of this message.

Could someone place an order for 100 more Jasmine Crocketts for overnight delivery to the Democratic Party thx in advance

Oh, look what normal countries do when a former president leads a far right coup attempt.

This story can't be repeated enough. The GOP is lined up behind the guy who is so incompetent that his quasi-gov't agency did this. They're confirming his highly questionable nominees & hurting the American people. And "accidentally"? It was stupidity, not accident. www.nbcnews.com/politics/dog...

NEW: In a victory for voters, the Wisconsin Supreme Court dismisses a lawsuit from a right-wing group seeking to limit early absentee voting sites. Cities can continue use in-person early absentee locations and mobile voting vehicles.

Trump blames Ukraine for starting the war the way a rapist blames his victim for looking too sexy.

My favorite sign guy!

That LGB without the T thing isn't working out, bro

Meet 11-year-old Jocelynn Rojo Carranza, a young girl from Texas whose life was tragically cut short. She died by suicide after classmates threatened to call ICE on her family. Stop dehumanizing immigrants. That is not America.
