I rarely reread what I've written because then I just think of all the ways I could have rewritten it, but I still very much appreciate @maddow.msnbc.com sharing @leahgreenberg.bsky.social's and my op-ed on air tonight! You can find the whole thing here: www.thenation.com/article/poli...

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage.

This is what our Transportation Secretary was doing yesterday as planes are crashing on a near-daily basis. I cannot remember a more dangerous time to fly and yet this reality TV actor-turned-Cabinet Secretary is busy watching cars drive laps at the Daytona 500.

Today’s “Not My President’s Day” protest in Carpinteria, organized by our friends at Indivisible Carp. 125 people there to defend democracy and oppose Trump and Musk. Great showing! We can do this together.

I joined the good folks at the DC 50501 protest this afternoon and it was a blast. We don't have kings in this country, and we don't bow to billionaires. We don't work for them. They work for us.

Nearly 80 million people, including 7 million seniors, rely on Medicaid for health care. Most older adults who need help with daily activities wouldn't be able to afford home-based or nursing facility care. Without Medicaid, what will they do? #HandsOffMyMedicaid

Trump’s pick for FBI director is Kash Patel, who has salivated about prosecuting journalists, government officials, and ordinary Americans. On Tuesday, the Senate will vote on Patel’s nomination. Call your senators ASAP: indivisible.org/resource/cal... Or email: act.indivisible.org/sign/demand-...

Protest today at Lurie Hospital. I learned a lot from the speakers. Sounds like Lurie provides incredible support for trans youth, but has a comply-in-advance CEO who sucks. Loved seeing hundreds of ppl in the snow there to defend trans youth.

Lurie Children’s hospital in Chicago has put a “pause” on pediatric gender-affirming surgeries. They were one of the first in the US to offer this care and they have saved countless lives (41% of trans individuals attempt suicide, compared with 5% of cis folks). Today we showed up.
