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.

A president we cannot trust at his word should not be president. If you have to keep giving the benefit of the doubt and have to tell folks, "that's not what he means," and then try to say that, "he tells it like it is," then you just may be a fool.

The sooner we collectively realize that Elon Musk is a shitposting, conspiracy-addled fool, who needs to stay out of public policy not upend it, the safer we’ll all be.

I spoke at DePaul University this evening with a group of amazing, politically engaged students. The professor who invited me showed me this 1894 newspaper clipping about Italian immigrants eating cats and dogs. I had never seen it before. The more things change...

I can’t believe the Supreme Court said the president was above the law and now the president is acting like he’s above the law.

Conservatives have spent the last 70 years working to reinstate the US caste system. Everything happening is an aim to restore back to Jim Crow when the bottom was Black people and everyone else stratified up to wealthy, whiteness.

I had a great conversation on this recently. The US on the other side of this will not be the US you knew before this. The country may stand, but it will be very different. It's up to the people to decide what that outcome looks like, but it won't be a status quo.

Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"

Democratic lawmakers need to understand something: Imagine your house is on fire. Fire truck shows up. Firefighters get out. They look at the fire, then at you, and say: "Such a fire is a grave threat. This house will not sustain." And just stand there. This is how many of you are coming across.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

The Republicans and their voters wanted the government run like a business, so that means everyone of them should accept the shrinkflation coming for our gov services. More tax dollars to the federal gov, for less. Congrats!!!

Federal agents are racially profiling Navajo Nation tribal members, detaining them on suspicion of being undocumented. “No one is illegal on stolen land,” Jackson said. “People have to understand that this is not the way to live or to be honorable and neighborly with each other.”

They are rushing remove anti-discrimination protections federally, trying to force private companies to follow suit, and then trying to privatize it so that they can wipe their hands of liability. Republican way of life is to set conditions to blame others, and then keep up the bigotry.
