Portlanders! Remember that terrifying article about how many schools in #Portland will literally crumble to the ground in even a moderate earthquake? Some of us parents are launching a campaign to demand the School Board promise to dedicate funds to address this. Join us!

I feel like folks are getting twisted up in knots about the Judge being arrested and it's pretty simple: 1) No one should be above the law (ahem, even the President). 2) The Trump Regime should not intimidate judges to pursue its fascism. 3) No one should feel scared to enter a courthouse.

Trump minimizing record-breaking CO2 levels is dangerous & counterproductive—but not surprising given his corrupt bargain with big polluters. Ignoring evidence of climate change & decapitating NOAA doesn’t make it go away—it COSTS MORE & makes us LESS SAFE. We will fight this.

The majority of people —56% in the US!—are worried about climate change, but not activated. Why not? Most feel helpless, hopeless, and don't know what to do. So more fear won't activate them. Rather, knowing what to do—and being invited to do it—will. Where to start? With a conversation today. 🧵

As @vanhollen.senate.gov said during his press conference yesterday, Bukele tried to have the meeting and photos staged to look like the Senator and Abrego García were enjoying margaritas by the pool. But the cocktail glasses' salted rims are undisturbed, proving no one drank from them.

When you realize you’ve just done some illegal shit to a college that 40% of the judges in the district graduated from. 40% of the Circuit court judges graduated from Harvard, too. Oh, and 4 of the 9 SCOTUS justices including Roberts went there.

Yes, Trump does have political instincts. And you can often tell when Trump senses a topic is a political loser because he claims to know very little about it and starts passing the buck.

The only appropriate response to this is impeachment and removal from office. Every moment the political press spends spinning out theories about 2026 and immigration polling is a minute they are not spending asking Republicans in Congress about their plans to enforce the rule of law

I find myself getting sincerely emotional about this. That he’s, under the circumstances, okay. That his wife and kids know this after an agonizing month without him. That a Democratic politician cared enough to go and see him, even after getting told no at first. Trying matters. Fighting works.

It’s unironically Very Good that every pro-democracy political actor from Angela Davis to David Brooks agrees we need an unprecedented popular front that mobilizes civil resistance to stop the march of tyranny and restore popular rule to our government. Now, we just have to organize it.

The White House is clearly scared of the power states have to build the clean energy economy and is resorting to blatantly unconstitutional tactics. The Trump administration is hoping that pro-climate state governments back down in fear. How should states respond? Simple. Ramp up instead. 🧵

I'm calling for an investigation into whether President Trump manipulated the market to benefit his Wall Street donors—all while working people and small businesses paid the price. Did Trump help insiders cash in on his tariff flip-flopping? It sure looks like corruption.
