Cory Booker didn’t pee, poop, nor sit down for 25 hours because he wants to have a better America. Don’t you think spending whatever time it takes to vote in your area is a reasonable response?

@bsky.app From Timothy Snyder (on SubStack) You do not know who was on those two planes to El Salvador. The individuals who arranged the deportation claim that the deportees were "foreign alien terrorists," but we have no way of knowing whether this is true.

Can’t emphasize this enough: if you’re feeling overwhelmed by the debased assault on our country, the antidote is connecting with other people in the flesh who are feeling the same way. There are millions of us.

Senator Mark Kelly is getting rid of his Tesla today. Stated reason: Elon Musk "turned out to be an asshole." That was a mild criticism of Nazi Musk!

The provision of the 14th amendment that the Supreme Court unanimously wrote out of the constitution existed for a reason. Its drafters knew what would happen if you allowed insurrectionists back into power.

The institutional Democratic Party is guided by an almost pathological level of conflict avoidance in almost every direction. “What can we do to make the least number of people mad?” is just a bankrupt way to operate.

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable. Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes. Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

DEI isn’t some new idea—it’s shorthand for our civil rights & access to personal freedom - keys to America’s progress from the start. But Trump + the GOP want to dismiss liberty as a culture war. We can’t let them. Read my latest with @jenpsaki.msnbc.com for @msnbc.com: www.msnbc.com/top-stories/...

We are experiencing an assault on science unparalleled by anything I’ve seen in my life. It’s not one issue or another anymore, the entire institution is under attack by the most powerful individuals in the country. This Friday, where will you be? standupforscience2025.org

The logical interpretation of this is that Trump and Hegseth want to limit recruitment and retention of everyone except for straight white male troops. The question then would be: why? www.military.com/daily-news/2...

See, the thing is, Zelensky refused to tug his forelock to Trump. Or to grovel.

Ukraine made a deal with Trump giving, most likely, some company Trump & cronies will profit from, rights to Ukrainian minerals which will probably cost American wage earners’ to pay for some deal with Putin & all to end their aggression against Ukraine. Is it worth it to end the war?

For the US to side with Russia and North Korea to oppose a UN resolution condemning the illegal invasion of Ukraine defies all common sense and adds insult to the countless injuries suffered by the brave Ukrainian people. edition.cnn.com/2025/02/24/p...

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

Using the tragic plane collision over the Potomac that cost 67 human souls as an occasion to slam DEI hiring was obscene. There’s zero evidence at this point that an underqualified air traffic controller or pilot had any role in this crash.

Trump is an extremely dangerous man--stupid, vindictive, fixated on payback for his enemies. This country will be lucky to survive him.

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too. Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more. Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.
