Jamie Raskin: "Given that I was marching at age 3, you know I’m not letting any coup-plotting, election-denying, insurrection-supplying autocrat, kleptocracy, plutocrat or theocrat, or any techno-feudalist Silicon Valley broligarchs aspiring dictator, turn me around now.” Amen!!

It was an honor to sign the guest book in the home of Anne Frank. I was here as a younger man and thought about her life as a dark chapter of history. Today, I can’t help but think of her story as one of caution. Our world is fragile, and it’s incumbent on us not to break it.

Senators Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, Joni Ernst, etc: You’ve seen Hegseth, RFK Jr, and others give worthless assurances. You’re now seeing the US appease Putin, and DOJ guardrails crumble. Are you going to let Kash Patel use the FBI against his enemies list and further destroy the rule of law?

Gift article on Musk criminally grabbing IRS data Your 1099's for every account are with the IRS. When Trump declares all Democrats (and others) are the enemy, he can just grab all of YOUR MONEY based on the data Musk can provide to him. #Criminal www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

Dems are not adhering to the advice of Timothy Snyder or other experts like Catherine Rampell here as to how to handle this crisis. Create an alternative vision of our government! Who is the Democratic visionary? wapo.st/42VXGBl

I remember watching Star Wars as a kid and asking myself, who would voluntarily join the dark side? I understood Darth Vader's motivation, but not the stormtrooper's.

It is Black History Month and each day this month I am sharing stories from Canada's Black history. Today it is the story of the Shelburne Riots. Beginning on July 25, 1784, a white mob attacked the Black community of Shelburne, Nova Scotia repeatedly for a month. 🧵1/6

🇺🇦 My president is Volodymyr Zelenskyy. The President of Ukraine has already been elected by the people of Ukraine, not by some foreigner or foreign enemy. There is nothing to talk about... But the way the scum want to get rid of him highlights his value to the Free World! #UkrainianView

It is so wild that people believe Elon is legitimately trying to fix fraud in the government, and hasn't touched corporate welfare, but just went after organizations that were investigating him, or ideologically opposed to him. People are living in entirely different realities.

The GOP's SAVE Act, which has already passed in the House, would strip 69 million married women of their right to vote by requiring a birth certificate that matches their ID. This is the extremist white nationalist ideology that has taken hold in America. We must stop it.

Please don't. "a military invasion of Canada would trigger a decades-long violent resistance, which would ultimately destroy the United States..set fire to the entire continent.. even if 1% of resisting Canadians engaged in armed insurrection, it'd be 10x larger than the Taliban."

Got my first "Violating an Executive Order" and "I'll make sure you lose federal funding" parent threat today for teaching "DEI" books in our upcoming "Liberty and Justice" themed unit. Even in "Blue" Massachusetts we're dealing with this. Anyway, don't obey in advance, and don't obey later.

Of course the Democrats will be going to Houston to find and interview voters who were laid off , to ask them what their expectations of the new administration were and how they feel they are doing at the moment. And posting here and everywhere. Right ?

This is why I vehemently suggested that President Biden should have thrown down the gauntlet rather than cordially welcome Trump into the White House. When I used to hear "Two 'wrong's' don't make a 'right'!" my mind always went to, "It might if one of those 'wrong's' was actually a 'right."

Donald Trump says he spoke with Zelenskyy and calls the war in Ukraine "ridiculous." Perhaps he should tell Putin to GTFO then.
