Join your local protest on April 19th. Spread the word.

My statement on the arson attack targeting Governor Josh Shapiro and his family during Passover.

A president who was truly committed to opposing political violence and standing up against antisemitism would have condemned the arson attack on Gov. Shapiro and his family by now.

I saw this on the Internet.

In Iran if a 12-year-old girl is raped and impregnated by her father, she must carry the baby to term, or be thrown in prison for life. Wait, sorry, no. That's Mississippi.

Failing to acknowledge that we are in a moment of national crisis unrivaled in our history is not only denying reality it is inviting disaster. Failing to use every legal tool at our disposal to resist & preserve our freedoms is a betrayal of every past, current and future generation of Americans.

He should have been in prison before the election 😡

Do you know where the fighting oligarchy tour is needed the most right now? North Carolina, where they’re trying to literally steal an election that they lost after the fact and most of the legislative system is letting them 1/2

Humans are the only species to have evolved to the point where half of them can be tricked by the dumbest shit imaginable.

How much you wanna bet that soon we’ll find out it’ll cost $100 billion or some such amount to fix everything he broke?

AOC: That is the story that Republicans tell—not mine, but all of ours—when they say a waitress or a working person is unqualified to serve in Congress. But the truth is, many of us are far more qualified to understand what real life is actually like than any of them ever will be.

Ever more ways to disempower citizens and empower oligarchs with citizens’ personal data www.wired.com/story/palant...

Sending my solidarity, prayers and support to @governor.pa.gov and his family, who endured a horrific arson attack on the first night of Passover. We must oppose and root out political violence in our country to protect democracy and freedom.

they don't call you "difficult" because you have boundaries. they call you difficult because they miss the convenience of your compliance. stand firm.

Good question!

The ACLU is no longer posting on Twitter. They have abandoned their 1.6 million follower account and are now posting on Bluesky. bsky.app/profile/aclu...

Another plane crash? A small plane that was headed to Columbia County Airport in Hudson, New York crashed in a field killing 6 people onboard, including Karenna Groff, the 2022 NCAA woman of the year. I’m sure that guy from The Real World is on top of it. 😔

BREAKING: Days before she was detained by ICE, the State Department had determined Tufts student Rumeysa Ozturk did NOT engage in antisemitic or terrorist activities. Rubio revoked her visa anyhow. Gift article: wapo.st/4j8d5Uh

Here is how WaPo handled Dem's 10-day long effort to count every vote in PA vs. GOP's 5-month long effort to throw out thousands of votes in NC. Support independent, pro-democracy media.

It seems like every day we are focusing on what is happening to democracy in court. The best way to stay informed is to subscribe to Democracy Docket. Always fearlessly independent with no corporate overlords. It will not bow down. It will never obey. newsletters.democracydocket.com/all-newslett...

Never Forget…..

Can a U.S. President be charged with treason? Article II, Section 4: The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.

Damn Tesla is pissed…

The divergence here from two companies with *very* similar customer bases is pretty wild, you do not see this sort of thing happen at scale very often.

Strong moment from AOC’s speech in Utah

Dear Decent Human Beings in the Military and Law Enforcement, If you are ordered to violate the Constitution by this president, please disobey. The millions who served, suffered, and died before you deserve your courage now.

I was a little surprised Bernie Sanders didn’t do Free Bird at Coachella.

20,000 in ruby red Utah on their feet, in community, and ready to organize for a better world. A better world is possible.

A 14-year-old American boy and his two friends were gunned down by Israeli soldiers Sunday night. Their largely American village in the West Bank is wondering why Trump and the U.S. government have said so little about the killing of one of its citizens.

He's manufacturing chaos because he has nothing to offer. No vision. No ideas. No interest in building anything. Just tearing down what others have built.

Tomorrow’s going to be a good stress test of the press. El Salvadoran President Bukele will visit the White House. At the press availability, every Q ought to be about Abrego Garcia: where is he now? Did US ask you to return him? etc. WH will hate, maybe try to prevent, so all should band together.

There's no longer a Republican Party anymore.

Bernie Sanders made a surprise appearance at Coachella 2025 last night. So he went from the LA rally to Coachella. He's 83 and fighting like this. This should be an inspiration to all of us. If he can do this, we can all do a little more.

Asking for, um, a country?

They're going to keep doing all this shit and take it as far as they can until we stop them.
