Raskin: And the moment that somebody in public office begins to act like the master of the people. That is the moment to evict, eject, reject, impeach, try, convict, and start all over again .

Misogyny is core to the American fascist project and feminism must be core to its opposition.

Today in Santa Monica. 🙏🏻 @cityofsantamonica.bsky.social for closing part of Ocean Ave. for the protest.

In America, we have no Kings, no Queens, no nobles, no dictators, and no emperors. We have no slaves, no serfs and no subjects. Just us—‘We the People.’

In America, we have no kings.

"The most important political office is that of the private citizen."

So not about federal law then

Judge Breyer: “[The President’s] actions were illegal—both exceeding the scope of his statutory authority and violating the Tenth Amendment to the United States Constitution. He must therefore return control of the California National Guard to the Governor of the State of California forthwith.”

The Trump administration has been ordered to return control of the National Guard back to California. The correct decision. And a win for the rule of law.

We're suing to stop an Arkansas law requiring public schools to display the Ten Commandments. Politicians don't get to impose their personal religious beliefs on all of us.

Tanks in DC Troops in LA. A military parade on his birthday. Trump is done pretending. This is what authoritarianism looks like in America. My latest on why we must speak out now — before silence becomes complicity. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/authoritar...

This campaign is going to look a little different and here are a few reasons why. And also a secret handshake.

In the spirit of this great oped, journalists (inc. Goldberg) must recognize that one of Trump’s patterns is: 1. Do something wildly illegal 2. Identify the name of a law 3. Proceed to ignore every limit in that law The pattern is tricking papers into writing “Trump is invoking a rarely used law.”

Every major Dem politician needs to realize that, in this environment, they can schedule a "speech to the nation," like Newsom did, and get tons of media coverage. Just do it.

This is great. Thanks to @jimmykimmel.com and his team.

This is a superb speech by @governor.ca.gov just now. Clear. Strong. Simple. Direct. Angry—in a way that appeals to the best in people, not the worst. Seven plus minutes of the most effective rhetoric in response to Trump. This is how you want a leader to talk. www.youtube.com/watch?v=linJ...

MAGA: “The 2nd Amendment guarantees a militia to fight tyranny!” Also MAGA: “It’s fine that Trump seized California’s National Guard against the governor’s will.” You can’t have it both ways. Read why this matters. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/a-well-reg...
