Good day to remember that a US President has no inherent power over tariffs whatsoever. It’s not like war powers or pardons. It’s entirely delegated by Congress to deal with emergencies. GOP Congress cld modify that law tonight and bring this to a screeching halt.

Hey BlueSky. Who’s marching on April 5th? My hubby and I are doing York County fights back in South Carolina 💙💙💙💙🙌🙌

Sen. Booker’s speech was a substantive and moral account of this moment. He did not read the phone book. He did not babble. For 24 hours @booker.senate.gov laid out a detailed, damning, and critical narrative of truth, history, politics, morality, humanity. What will you do?

cheese is woke now

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

America has never been subject to this level of authoritarianism, and quite frankly, sheer incompetence. Out of the ashes, this moment should radicalize us to embark on an era of new reform — of our economy, our democracy, and our commitment to social justice and the law.

Sincere question: What could Trump (and Musk and Vance) do to finally go over a line for Republican politicians? Through tariffs, boycotts & international hostility, they're laying waste to the US economy. They're allied with Russia over Europe. Is there a line for Republicans anywhere anymore?

He’s such a dicktator.

Jamie Raskin calls out Elon Musk’s attempted power grab, reminding him that Congress—not wealthy wannabe dictators —controls the nation’s finances under Article I of the Constitution. “We don’t have a fourth branch of government called Elon Musk, and that’s about to become very clear.” 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

HUGE BREAKING NEWS: Pete Buttigieg is seriously considering running for Senate in Michigan after Gretchen Whitmer says she wouldn’t run for the open seat. Smash that RT if you agree Secretary Buttigieg would make a FANTASTIC Senator!! 💙💙

I'm not teaching my grad course 'Civil Resistance: How It Works' this semester. But here is an abridged version of the course schedule, readings, and films I used the last time I taught it (in 2022). Just in case it's useful. drive.google.com/file/d/14RRJ...

Pinning to repost often! 💙👊

AOC: I don’t care what Elon Musk is doing behind the presidential seal, but in this country we hate Nazis. Kind of like a foundational defining thing. Two of the foundational things about American history is that we beat the confederates and we beat the Nazis.

CEOs after reading social media posts since December 4th.

I keep thinking about the fact that if people can get things wrong about events that happened within the past 5 years despite us all being alive when it happened with a preponderance of video and written evidence, how much of conventional history is simply made up to satisfy some agenda?
