I managed to sleep a few hours. It was the hardest night in Kyiv. 14 people were killed and 99 were injured. Perhaps it is not a final number 💔 I opened the window (luckily, I still have one after this night). Then closed it. Kyiv is covered in terrible smoke.

Stop the waste of money now

🚨 There’s a lot of horrific news out of Washington right now—but you might have missed this: Senate Republicans just introduced a plan to sell off 120 million acres of our public lands. Let me break down what’s in the bill and why it’s a full-scale land grab. 🧵

No Kings -- some historic facts from Snyder about the phrase-- NO KINGS- quick read

My law firm is currently litigating 55 voting and election cases in 24 states. Two points: This is a very large caseload for this point in the election cycle. It is more evenly spread across states than usual which reflects the creep of voter suppression laws into even safe GOP states.

What. The. Fuck?

This, coupled with sending the USS Vinson and fighter jet tankers last night...

Seems @senmikelee.bsky.social didn’t want to talk about his ugly tweets blaming Dems for the shooting of Dems in Minnesota

“Lee spread unfounded claims about the alleged gunman across multiple posts, making light of the killings and attempting to blame the violence on the political left[,] [and] falsely tied the slayings to Minnesota’s Democratic Gov. Tim Walz.” www.sltrib.com/news/politic... I

It sure is

A senator celebrating the murder of political opponents should be expelled. Not debated. Not excused. Expelled.

Whoa! Hats off to ABC News reporter Matt Gutman for keeping his cool yesterday. This LAPD officer needs to be relieved of duty if he can’t handle an alleged “touch” without snapping.

Such a terrible day. Heartbreaking. But I’ve never been more proud to be a Minnesotan. Today, hundreds of thousands of people across this state showed up, mourned, marched, and showed the world what decency looks like.

Thank to all the @dailybeanspod.com listeners who reserved trump parade tickets but went to #NoKings protests instead. It’s because of people like us that they expected 200K but got fewer than 10K - generating images like this.

Energy matters in politics. It especially matters for Trump. Today, all the energy was with the pro-democracy team. Republicans in Congress should be very worried.

No kings in Richmond Virginia! Despite the rain, thousands of people protested! #noking #richmond #virginia

You can’t see me bc I’m holding a flag but guys I live in a 2k person extremely rural town in one of the reddest counties of WI. So many people showed up there was a line all the way to the highway. I often feel a bit afraid due to my identity in this area but #nokings brought out so many
