We just walked out of the state of the Union. My shirt showed Trump an important message: NO KINGS LIVE HERE. In the spirit of student protestors from the Civil Rights Movement, I’m proud to have protested and walked out with many of my colleagues. This is NOT a normal time.

NEW: Elon Musk is trying to buy Wisconsin’s Supreme Court, spending millions to install bought-and-paid-for MAGA extremist Brad Schimel. Today, @WisDems launches a campaign to punch back: The People v. Musk.🧵

No, I’m not going. #JointAddress

We don't need Andrew Cuomo to swoop in and "save" New York, a city he hasn't lived in for decades. We can do it ourselves – we just need a leader who's in it for the people, not their own benefit. That leader is not Andrew Cuomo, and certainly not Eric Adams.

Look at all these beautiful people! Lines along both side of the street. Chanting, honking, drumming. There were only 6 ppl here 2 weeks ago! Tesla protest Brooklyn. @bkindivisible.bsky.social @indivisible.org @teslatakedown.com #teslatakedown

Democratic Congressman Tom Suozzi just received a huge standing ovation in a Trump +5 Congressional District at Hofstra University after talking about how despicable Trump‘s behavior was in the Oval Office with Zelensky. Americans are furious.

People in even super-deep-red districts are catching on to Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s robbery of the American people. This is getting good.

“Here’s a fact that should appall New York voters, especially women: You paid for Cuomo’s lawyers to seek the gynecological records of an accuser. Why? It’s a good question that voters should ask the candidate as he makes the rounds.”

FUCK ANDREW CUOMO INTO THE FUCKING SUN

Welcome, Andrew Cuomo! In honor of your sad attempt to get attention, let's remember your time as Governor of New York—before you resigned for sexually harassing 13 women and leading thousands of elderly New Yorkers to their deaths during Covid-19.

I am embarrassed today to be an American. As long as the useful idiot remains in the White House, I suspect that feeling will persist.

Brutal.

I do find it hilarious how Elon was so desperate to be Tony Stark that he became a somehow even less charismatic Justin Hammer

That’s Tammy Baldwin — not me. You can keep track of all the hundreds of white men but it’s the 28 women in the Senate that trips you up, Fox News?

BREAKING: New York Lt. Gov. Antonio Delgado announces that he will NOT run as Gov. Kathy Hochul's running mate when she runs for reelection next year. Delgado has been rumored to be considering a run for governor against Hochul. x.com/DelgadoforNY...

This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source. Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.

This isn’t a Golden Age. It’s a Gilded Age.

CALIFORNIA: Rep. @JayObernolte (R) becomes the latest to hear from the people 🇺🇸 🔥 Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DGZ0d7B...

Sharing more townhall videos today because they’re giving me hope. THIS is good trouble! Who is this man? I want to shake his hand and buy him a drink.

I’m thinking we should have another Boston Tea Party but we’ve already damaged the oceans enough

looking back everything went to shit when Schoolhouse Rock stopped airing

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

Happening now: protesters are outside the Fine Arts Building on Michigan Avenue in downtown Chicago this evening. People are in line to see House of Reps Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries for an event tonight promoting his recently released book. Crowd chanting at them, "we don't need a book tour!"

America has no king. America needs no king.

AOC speaking to a thousand NYC federal workers and allies about the urgency of resisting Musk 🔥🔥🔥

Gov. Hochul: "Think about this next time you're stuck in traffic." www.youtube.com/watch?v=mhFl...

Honest question for Elon: What explanation would you like me to give my constituents who rely on this program? Or the other 9/11 families? Because I'm about to get in my car and drive wherever the hell you are right now to find out myself. This makes me sick.

We really could’ve had @benwikler.bsky.social, but noooo

👀

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

GOV. HOCHUL: “.. the alleged conduct at City Hall that has been reported over the past two weeks .. cannot be ignored. Tomorrow, I have asked key leaders to meet me at my Manhattan office for a conversation about the path forward, with the goal of ensuring stability for the City of New York.”

Union Square rally.

One reason to want Hochul to wait two more weeks before beginning the process to remove Eric Adams

Anything that Trump and RFK say about “rising rates of autism in children” is categorically false. People have had autism long before it started being diagnosed. I’m sick and tired of this administration infantilizing people with autism.

This is the point people don't realize. I interviewed a French woman named Anlor Davlin who came to the United States for my first book and France treats autistic people horribly. I was actually shocked at it. The U.S., for all its faults, is miles ahead of many other developed countries.

As I am writing this, it still does not feel completely real. 7 years ago today, my cousin Alex was sitting in his English classroom in Parkland, FL, when a gunman armed with an AR15 murdered him and 16 of his teachers and classmates. Thats us below.

My thoughts and my heart are with everyone in Parkland today as we mark seven years since 17 lives were lost and countless others were forever changed. We must continue to fight for common sense gun safety reforms so that no other community has to know tragedy like this.

Trump's Make America Healthy Again Executive Order once again repeats the false trope that America saw "a staggering increase" and that "Autism spectrum disorders had the highest prevalence in high-income countries, including the United States." 1/ www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

(1,2) This is Jaime. She was funny and fun & made everyone laugh. Unfortunately, the laughter stopped 7 years ago today in the Parkland shooting. Because of what happened to Jaime, my family started Orange Ribbons for Jaime doing great work orange-ribbons-for-jaime.myshopify.com/collections/...
