Heading out to Sacramento in a couple of hours for this demonstration. Every state capital, every city hall. 12-2 today. NOW is the break-glass, pull-alarm moment. The Constitution is no longer operative. Please go if you can. Bring the family. Action is the antidote to helplessness and despair.

Elon Musk and Nancy Mace think they are going to scare me and silence me with a censure. They don’t want opposition as they raid the social safety net. Democrats need to fight harder, not retreat. I’m not backing down folks, I’m from Long Beach.

We only know this man is in Gitmo because Noem tweeted a propaganda photo that included him and his sister saw it. He has no criminal record. He entered the US in January and immediately made an appointment with CBP to claim asylum. They sent him to a concentration camp bc of his basketball tattoo.

Don’t just say DEI as if it’s a bad word. Spell it out. Say diversity, which is the lifeblood of American society & culture & innovation. Say equity, which a just society should pursue. Say inclusion, because decent people believe in increasing belonging, not isolating people who are different.

Seems frivolous & insensitive to post about tv rn but One Hundred years of Solitude on Netflix is surprisingly good. The Colombian scenery is gorgeous & the magic realism captured so well. If you loved the novel, I highly recommend.

Good morning! This incredible NYT op-ed by @katherinestewart.bsky.social needs to be the very first thing that you read today. The next thing to do is send it to all your friends who still don't believe Trump is a crisis. This lays it all out (gift link) www.nytimes.com/2025/02/07/o...

In light of Trump II’s first 18 days of mayhem — including his and Musk’s coup against our system of government — many are asking: “What can I do now?” Here’s a revised and expanded list, in rough order of importance.

Murphy: "We need to act like a real opposition party in the middle of a constitutional and democracy crisis. That means we should not be moving forward nominees or legislation in the Senate. Ds should not be giving votes to nominee or legislation in the Senate until Rs get serious about this crisis"

If Democrats will not block every nominee, will not challenge every illegal EO, will not go in front of cameras everyday to tell us what the felon is trying to do and what they’re doing to stop orange 🍊 face, they don’t deserve re-election. How did they let Leon Skum do what he is doing? #ProudBlue

We need & deserve to know who the 12 people are on the plane to Gitmo. We’re paying for that flight. These people are being disappeared, possibly tortured, & there are no humane facilities there. We need to shut it down! How can we do this? Can we get all decent countries to stop doing biz with US?

NEW: The board president of a small WV nonprofit says they haven't received their HHS funding since the Trump/Musk budget freeze. They had to lay off 3 of 5 employees on Friday. An 86-yr-old woman is counting on them to take her dialysis tomorrow. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

How much will the convicted felon’s tariffs cost American citizens? They are estimated to cost households an extra $1,250 annually. But, count on it to be higher. We live in a greedy country. Mark my words, then start voting blue. #Voices4Victory #DemVoice1
