This is a moral moment in America. Sitting on the Capitol steps with Leader Hakeem Jeffries this morning to discuss what’s at stake with Trump’s budget and affirm the need for collective action to protect Medicaid, food assistance, and other safety net programs. @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social

Actually, they did. That’s why they created the Electoral College. What they never anticipated was elected officials from one of the two major political parties being this stupid.

Moskowitz: When President Zelenskyy came to the White House, we heard a lot about what he was wearing. Oh my God, the precious Oval Office—he didn’t wear a suit! I mean, here’s a picture of Kid Rock in the Oval Office—he looks like he’s about to jump over 10 buses on the White House lawn.

And in the end, they even sacrificed their claim to “state’s rights” for which they enslaved, seceded, fought, segregated, assaulted and murdered, and in the name of which they degraded themselves, their families and their region.

This has always been the GOP's strategy: 1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves. 2) Explode the deficit. 3) Demand cuts to vital programs that help millions. 4) Repeat. They're trying to get away with it again.

I have no respect for ANY athlete that visits this White House. You are unAmerican if you do so, as is anyone who supports or enables this administration. Let me repeat that. You actions are in direct opposition to the Declaration of Independence.

Can we get more of this? “The Japanese American National Museum will ‘scrub nothing,’ Fujioka said, and instead will highlight the importance of DEI. “Our community is based on diversity, equity is guaranteed to us in the Constitution, and inclusion is what we believe in,” Fujioka said.

This is seriously gross. I will say this until I am blue in the face, but the idea that white people NEED this to happen because the truth hurts our feelings is bullshit. We can (and must) reckon with our actual history to create a better world. Our minds are plenty strong to handle it all.

If @SenBooker can speak for 25 hours, to explain to America all that is wrong with this #RacistRegime and all that is right with the people fighting against its tyrannical pursuits, then YOU can have that uncomfortable conversation with your #MAGA family, even if it’s to tell bye! So get to work.

Sen. Booker’s speech was a substantive and moral account of this moment. He did not read the phone book. He did not babble. For 24 hours @booker.senate.gov laid out a detailed, damning, and critical narrative of truth, history, politics, morality, humanity. What will you do?

Many students at Southern Illinois University come from families that are poor, or barely middle class, and depend on scholarships. Vice Chancellor Paul Frazier says the way DEI has been politicized ignores what it actually does: “Poor doesn’t have a color.” With @capitolnewsil.bsky.social
