No. I am not a conspiracy theorist-But this is PROFOUNDLY CONCERNING. We all know children repeat what they hear-And you’ll agree, Leon’s expression is revealing. I hope that the appropriate people have thoroughly investigated election integrity. Because they are worthy of our darkest fears.

The press has been bowing to Trump since day 1 in 2016. They write stories that don’t tell the whole truth to please him. They print disinformation or lies he has told without calling them lies. If you don’t use the first amendment it is useless. #ProudBlue#Voices4Victory apple.news/AH_jm6QW4QVy...

The sad fact is this lawless pronouncement by Trump is damn-near a quote from the democracy-busting presidential immunity ruling from a compromised Sup Ct. This is PRECISELY why Justice Sotomayor (joined by Justices Kagan & Ketanji Brown Jackson) said, “With fear for our democracy, I dissent.”

History buffs will know that every authoritarian leader eventually converges on some version of: "I am the state. I can not break the law, I am the law, the law is instantiated in me." Our march to authoritarianism so far has been excruciatingly by-the-book. Hitting every beat. No surprises.

Justice Dept lawyers are showing other public servants, members of Congress and the public - not to mention quivering media moguls - what it means to be a citizen of a democracy. You do not bend the knee nor kiss the ring of tyrants.

My friend said she and her mom agreed not to speak Spanish to each other in public anymore. Oh man, that hit hard. I’m so sorry this is who we’ve become.

Connolly: "Imagine lecturing Europeans about being afraid of their own electorate when it's Trump and Musk who are firing FBI agents because they dared to do their duty, who are having loyalty tests at the NSC...you're gonna lecture others about political tolerance of free speech? That's a bit much"

Here’s some advice for those outside our coalition, as the administration is actively leading a witch hunt for resistance members. If you’re a government employee, avoid using government devices to coordinate. Do not use standard messaging apps on Android or Apple devices.

All the analyses of Kendrick Lamar's Halftime performance belie all the talk about illiteracy and anti-intellectualism. The fact that we're dissecting metaphors, visual representations, patterns, and social studies from 13 minutes of material speaks to broader ideas of education. So much to learn!

I’m going to put my rich guy hat on and say I hope that Mexico and Canada issue equal, retaliatory tariffs and stick to them for an extended period. I apologize to all the people it will cost money and the businesses it will hurt. But it’s the only way for tariffs to be seen for what they are

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

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 📉

How strange is it to keep on being an educator, keep on planning, on teaching, on hoping that this thing that we do will have or produce a future worth living. While, at the same time, being surrounded of such hopelessness. #academicsky
