www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fdmx... I don't usually hold what people do in high school against them in their adulthood. But you can draw a straight line between the sense of entitlement and grievance to what he's attempting in present day. He was either told "no" way too much, or not nearly enough.

I just left Capitol Hill, where I testified before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee on attacks facing our democracy. One thing is clear: the most powerful tool to defend the American people and the rule of law is litigation.

I didn’t see Trump throwing a shit fit about the Irish flag on St. Patrick’s Day even though the Irish sympathize and empathize with people who have been oppressed. Gee I wonder why.

This is a complete abuse of power. An attack on a co-equal branch of government. A high crime against the state. An impeachable offense. The wannabe dictator in the Oval Office must be held accountable for this. Impeach and remove Donald Trump. impeachtrumpagain.org @fsfp.bsky.social

Nine years ago today, 49 lives were taken in a horrific attack against Orlando’s Latino and LGBTQ+ communities. Today we remember the victims of the pulse nightclub shooting and resolve to keep fighting for a future where all Americans are free from the threat of gun violence.

The most effective protests in the ‘60s and ‘70s were sit-ins. To disperse a sit-in, the troops have to be the aggressors because they have to get very physical to pull you up from a sitting position. It is really hard to say the protestors are the aggressors when all you are doing is sitting down.

Kristi Noem must resign. If she doesn’t, she needs to be removed. Her goons put hands on a sitting USA Senator Alex Padilla, handcuffed and detained him. This is fascism. This cannot stand. Let’s see Democrats hold her accountable NOW #FascistUSA

Odd, how MS-13 gang members are all ALL OVER California during elections, but conspicuously absent when ICE is rounding up "criminals" in that state. Instead, ICE goes to Home Depot to arrest helpful people looking for home improvement jobs. It's almost as if everything Trump tells us is a lie.

What we all must do right now: 1. Protest peacefully. 2. Register to vote. 3. Protest peacefully. 4. Get others registered to vote. 5. Protest peacefully. 6. Call/email your Democratic representatives & tell them to FIGHT. 7. Protest peacefully. 8. Engage in civil disobedience.

Republicans will claim Padilla — one of the kindest people I know — is a menacing man who stormed the briefing with smoke coming out of his ears. But the video doesn't lie. He didn’t lunge. He announced himself. He just wanted answers.

The Pentagon went from a 4-star General to a Fox News drunk in a suit. Every department’s been hijacked by clowns and cronies. American democracy isn’t just in danger—it’s bleeding out. And it’ll take decades to clean up this wreckage.
