⚡️FIGHT THE OLIGARCHY RALLY ⚡️ STARTING TOMORROW. Nevada. Arizona. Colorado. You, me, and Bernie. Dem and GOP districts. ❤️💙 See you there 💪🏽🌞

It’s been 30 years since I arrived in America. As a 12 year old refugee, I could have never imagined I would have the opportunity to represent the community that welcomed me with open arms 🥰. I'll be forever grateful for the American people who gave me and my family a second chance at life.

I won’t vote to give tax breaks to billionaires.

Protect your peace.

They pardoned the guys that beat police officers and smeared their shit in the Capitol but they’re removing the Black member of Congress, who is elected and standing up for Americans

Fuck you, Donald Trump. Fuck you.

He usually tries to at least open with broad vague lines that are “hard” to not clap for. He’s not even trying this time around.

Rep. Al Green is a goddamn hero.

Muskrat brigade having the most "u mad?" morning ever at X, after the forever fabulous Jane Fonda "got political" (fancy that!) at the SAG Awards. Imagine being 87 years old and still able to piss off all the right people. What you can do but bow.

“We can disagree and still love each other unless your disagreement is rooted in my oppression and denial of my humanity and right to exist” James Baldwin

President Trump is firing American workers who monitor bird flu outbreaks, safeguard nuclear facilities, and now those who promote American history in Dorchester – all to help pay for tax breaks for billionaires and giant corporations.

The flying public needs answers. How many FAA personnel were just fired? What positions? And why?

Knowledge is power…

Don’t lose hope. Remember, Watergate took over two years to fully unravel from the initial break-in to Nixon’s resignation. Just like then and now, Americans are losing faith in their government. We are documenting every illegal action and will hold this administration and Elon Musk accountable.

A remarkable self-portrait by photographer Marianne Breslauer, Berlin 1933.

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.

I’ll boost it. 💜

I keep seeing folks understandably point out that there are Democratic lawmakers who are scared to speak out for fear of retribution. I'm sympathetic to that. But also: no reasonable adult would begrudge a lawmaker for giving up their seat for someone who's willing to speak up. That's their job.

So yes I do know there's a lot going on in the world right now but I also want to share that these photos of Nina Simone & James Baldwin in current National Portrait Gallery show on Baldwin and voices of queer resistance are giving me LIFE npg.si.edu/exhibition/j...
