This is the wrong move, Senator. I challenges a 30-year Democratic incumbent and won back in 2020. The people are calling for leadership and vision, not the status quo that left too many in our base from getting to the polls. Bold leadership, not stagnant party props.

Labor and electeds rally hundreds against Trump/Musk safety net cuts outside Tesla dealership in Providence "Friends, this is not the time to cower or be silent," said Caraol Pagan from the RIFTHP. "This is the time to stand up, raise our voices, and to fight for what we know is right."

One interesting thing going on with Democrats: Those emerging as public-facing leaders--AOC, Frost, Crockett, Chris Murphy, Walz, Brian Schatz, others--are not ideologically uniform. What connects them is communication skill--you either have it or you don't--and a sense of urgency and stakes.

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave. Tell them: 1. Vote NO on Cloture AND 2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill. Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it. TODAY is the showdown. 🤳🏽: (202) 224-3121

New this morning: I've got an op-ed in @globeri.bsky.social urging the passage of local "Freedom to Read" bills. An excerpt: "Rhode Islanders would never agree to change our state motto from 'Hope' to 'Fear.'...And yet efforts to pull books from local shelves move us in this direction."

There are only two things that stand between Trump and being a dictator -- the courts and elections. Trump wants to send a clear message to law firms that he will go after them. It is ok to be afraid, the question is what do you do. Do you hide and cower in fear or stand tall and say it is wrong?

"No Other Land," the Palestinian-Israeli made film showing the destruction of the occupied West Bank's Masafer Yatta by Israeli soldiers, just won the Oscar for Best Documentary. It can't get a distributor in the US. Which tells you everything about censorship in the US.
