I've done some public speaking in my day. Taking the stage for the Brookdale Park #NoKings rally with @lizzylady.bsky.social was one of the most memorable events I've been part of. Thanks for inviting us @montclairdems.bsky.social!

I talked to Oscar-nominated documentary filmmaker Julie Cohen ("RBG") about her weekly New Jersey protests against Trump. She'll be a speaker at a No Kings protest Saturday This spring, Cohen resigned from a journalism awards jury at Columbia www.nj.com/entertainmen... @filmmakerjulie.bsky.social

If that’s what they do to a United States Senator with a question, imagine what they can do to any American that dares to speak up. We will hold this administration accountable.

I worked with Terry Moran for 4 years in the 1990s at Court TV and American Lawyer Media. One of this most thoughtful, intelligent, well informed people I have met in my entire life. #IStandWithTerry.

"As in absolute governments the King is law, so in free countries the LAW ought to be KING." -Thomas Paine, 1776 In NJ? Join us in Brookdale Park Bloomfield/Montclair I'll be there. Heck, I'll even be speaking! www.mobilize.us/nokings/even...

June 14. Skip the Parade of Horribles. Join a protest. Or start your own: NoKings.org

Praying for those in Canada in the path of this perilous fire. And all of us who will soon be in the path of the smoke. With everything we are fearing, don’t forget Climate Change. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...

Harvard stands up, fights back -- a model for other institutions persecuted by the Trump regime: www.nytimes.com/2025/05/23/u...

Authoritarianism 101 from Trump. There is a clear path to fight this. It lies in COLLECTIVE ACTION. HARVARD: keep up the fight. OTHER UNIVERSITIES: Stand with Harvard. ALL OF US: Don't donate (in my case speak on panels etc) to institutions that are not standing up.

Keep an eye on the Trump regime's likely persecution of Politico's German corporate owner. Support journalism the provides a check on abuses of power. www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-whit...

Respectfully (sort of) I think Rep. Issa AND the Times are asking the wrong question here. It’s not about fed judges setting policy. It’s about judges intervening when TRUMP has taken it upon himself to mandate policies that the Constitution says the President may NOT implement alone.

I know there’s a lot going on, but please don’t let it slip by unremarked upon that Tulsi Gabbard - who is a G-d damn Russian asset - is seizing control of the President’s Daily Briefing. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/14/u...
