I value a society where everyone is treated with dignity. I am here to lock arms with those who are pro-democracy in my own country and around the world. PS: I also treat myself with kindness. I ignore chats and block 'bots' of all sorts.

It takes a lot to piss off Canada. Leave it to Trump to upend our strongest alliance in history 🇨🇦 Trudeau: “you can’t take our country” after hockey win over U.S. Tense game featured boos, a protest-tinged Canadian anthem, and a thrilling overtime goal. 🏒 (Washington Post )

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

As it turns out, President Zelensky has a fantastic approval rating in Ukraine! 57% to be precise! 🇺🇦

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is not a dictator. He is a champion of democracy, freedom and truth.

Mike Pence with his unabashed Truth about Ukraine! Thank you, Sir!!

Chicago, IL making their voices heard!! And they look cold!! Thank you!!! #CourageIsContagious #FiftyFiftyOne

If you swore an oath to protect and defend the Constitution, this is your chance to actually do it.

Mike Pence just reposted an old article he wrote about the limitations on the powers of a president. For some reason. Here is a part of it.

Murphy: "We need to act like a real opposition party in the middle of a constitutional and democracy crisis. That means we should not be moving forward nominees or legislation in the Senate. Ds should not be giving votes to nominee or legislation in the Senate until Rs get serious about this crisis"

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

BREAKING: A federal judge just blocked the Trump administration from canceling foreign aid contracts/awards that were in place prior to Trump's inauguration. t.co/2OBoBANkxW](s3.documentcloud.org/documents/25...)

NEW: Donald Trump's effort to gut foreign aid programs and sideline thousands of USAID workers have now both been halted — at least temporarily — by judges who say the rush to implement them may have violated laws. w/ @joshgerstein www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

REPOST if you support our federal workforce and know how dedicated they are to their jobs. Show them you appreciate them!

This reminds me of my mother-in-law who played in the rubble of World War II in Germany. Glad that these sweet children are finding some happiness today.

For Valentine’s Day I give you The Heart of Yorkshire. Legend has it that if you kiss beneath the heart in the west window of York minster, you will never be parted from your love.

Don’t just say DEI as if it’s a bad word. Spell it out. Say diversity, which is the lifeblood of American society & culture & innovation. Say equity, which a just society should pursue. Say inclusion, because decent people believe in increasing belonging, not isolating people who are different.

This is what integrity looks like: www.nytimes.com/2025/02/13/n...

Tonight feeling for the 1000s of federal workers who instantly lost their jobs these past 3 weeks - such stress for them and their families. Also thinking of the stress that more than half of us in America are feeling in losing what was once normal for us, and also for our friends around the world.

I'm proud of them too.

!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is what America looks like with a corrupt criminal in the White House. Decent, principled prosecutors & public servants being ordered to defy the rule of law & abuse the justice system, and choosing to resign instead. This is just the beginning.

Forever, the courts have been an important arbiter of what a President can, and can’t do. That is under threat now: adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/trump-like...

We cannot ignore how shockingly abnormal it is for a private citizen — who himself has contracts with the federal government — to dispatch a private army of executives, data experts and recent high schoolers to dictate policies to federal agencies. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/elon...

This is a flat-out, clear-cut violation of the First Amendment.

Stop The Coup! Keep calling about Musk and DOGE. Pass it on… Congressional Switchboard (202) 224-3121

The reckless decision to release billions of gallons of water from the Terminus and Schafer Dams is already hurting farms and farmers. It’s a massive waste. I'm demanding answers from the Army Corps of Engineers about what happened. And why.
