West Coast numbers are coming in, and estimates have now surpassed 5 million. People are still pouring into the streets—nearly 2% of the American population is rising up. America, we are so proud of you. You did it.

Rather than violate their oath or comply with Musk’s illegal requests, 21 civil service employees resigned today from Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (formerly the United States Digital Service), stating they would not use their technical expertise to dismantle critical public services.

Dear Governor Kathy Hochul: It's time. You have the power to remove Eric Adams from office as NYC mayor. Take a stand -- and stand up for cleaning up corruption in New York. REMOVE ADAMS NOW. Sincerely, A New Yorker

Just saw a farmer say, "you don't have to admit you were wrong, you have to admit you were lied to, " and idk that seems like a good framing to call people in

My baby reaching her hands up to me for a pick up is one of the simplest, most common ways I have my heart ripped out of my body on a daily basis.

The cognitive dissonance of getting up every morning and making coffee and walking the dog and going to meetings and answering emails and wondering what to make for dinner while there is a real live actual coup d’etat happening is BONKERS

I’m so tired of living in unprecedented times. I’m so angry that we LITERALLY had the playbook for this and yet let this happen (except Black women, who understood the damn assignment). It’s been 17 days. History tells us we have 53. LFG.

Dorothy B. Porter changed libraries 💜 The Dewey Decimal System used to only have two classifications for Black people: 325 (colonization) & 326 (slavery). Each book by a Black person was put into one of these classifications. A book of poetry? Classified as colonization. Enter Dorothy B. Porter 🧵

Reading @hcrichardson.bsky.social’s letter usually makes me take a breath - it’s so clear and calm that the panic recedes. Instead, the Feb 2 letter’s clarity starkly shows how quickly everything has gone terribly, horribly wrong. But go on about those eggs.

Tonight’s before bed book was this beautiful one. As a result, I found myself explaining slavery, emancipation, civil rights, good trouble, equity and fairness to my six-year-old. I can’t say it all landed, but we’re starting the convo early and often. Feels extra important right now.

My 6 YO was made fun of at school for painting his nails. The boys told him only girls paint their nails. He’s not sure he wants to paint them again because they made him feel bad. When are we adults going to do better so our kids can be better?

Republicans just pushed a bill that spreads lies about abortions, criminalizes doctors using their best medical judgment to treat patients in need, and strips families' ability to decide how to act in situations where a baby won't survive long outside the womb. (1/2)

DEI programs were created to give everyone who meet objective standards a fair shot at serving our country. Diversity has changed America for the BETTER. Rolling back these programs and offices with an executive order is completely disgraceful. www.cnn.com/2025/01/21/p...

Honored to be selected as Vice Ranking Member of Oversight Committee(Democrats) with my friend Rep. Gerry Connolly. We'll be checking Trump's power & shining a light on every attack on our rights and freedoms. We didn't play in the 118th & we're not about to start now. Buckle up, buttercup.

One thing before tomorrow: Use your local libraries. Get your card. Borrow books, manga, films, audios, ebooks. Recommend titles for purchase (usually online). Attend promoted activities. Fill out those "How are we doing?" questionnaires. Tell your kids that libraries are good. They are. 📚

TikTok literally just proved that they didn’t have to go dark last night. Donald Trump isn’t President yet. Legally, nothing has changed. TikTok is using Joe Biden’s non-enforcement promise while thanking Donald Trump instead.
