72 years old; pro-democracy, anti-fascist; I hate Nazis. Can't stand seeing the Constitution shredded by an obviously deranged individual. Remembering the 60's is the antidote to fascism. Putin is an existential threat.

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.

Maybe someday, women in America will have as many rights as guns do.

Hope 👇 "When our history is written, I believe this week will be remembered as the moment when the real silent majority of Americans understood the assignment."

This question needs to be answered: Why haven't all living former Presidents stepped up and shown collective rejection of the fascist takeover of America? Americans need to see this. - Devin Duke

This should be our rallying cry. Every civil servant, every law enforcement officer, every soldier, every intelligence official, diplomat, all federal employees who serve our country- never forget this.

Here come the “town hall no-show’s”. #Wisconsin wisconsinexaminer.com/2025/02/21/r...

Released in 1965, The Drifter's album "I'll Take You Where The Music's Playing" included top-shelf material written by legendary songwriters, Doc Pomus and Mort Shuman, Cynthia Weil and Barry Mann, Jeff Barry and Ellie Greenwich and Gerry Goffin and Carole King's "At the Club." #blackhistorymonth

🧵 I went to work in Congress with a Member who was raised in South Africa and part of the anti-apartheid movement. She taught me how to optimize the power of the opposition in the House. Like the trimtab on the rudder, members can steer the ship. Here are the six R's of minority power.

I escaped poverty because I am a scientist. And I am a scientist because of the National Science Foundation. A 🧵:

For the first weeks, Americans seemed frozen, expecting institutions to do something. Americans were used to “checks and balances” and “guardrails” working. That didn’t happen. People realized that they had to take matters into their own hands. 👇

Something is shifting. They are still breaking things and stealing things. And they will keep trying to break and to steal. But the propaganda magic around the oligarchical coup is fading. (1/2)

We are arms dealers to terrorists.

Sure Trump fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs and the CNO....but they fired the top JAG's in the Army, Navy, and Air Force. Why would you fire the top lawyers in the armed services at night on a Friday? That's the part you should be freaking out about.

Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Let’s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.

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.

how's the election working out, Georgia? www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/u...

Governor Mills doesn’t suffer fools lightly, and it appears she has even less tolerance for bullies. (And as a former attorney general, she knows what she’s talking about.)

So. It has officially happened. I have been officially let go from my position at CDC. I wasn’t a probationary employee. I had stellar performance reviews every year. I’ll be ok. But please understand that many worked HARD to get into these positions and were doing great public health work.

“Your great, great grandkids are gonna say: ‘what did you do? Did you just step back and let it happen...Did you wait for some cavalry to ride to our rescue? Or did you get up and get after it, and do whatever you could with what you had, where you were?’” Beto O’Rourke told me—watch it here:

Every member of Congress — Republican and Democrat, House and Senate — should hold a live, in-person town hall in their district this week.

Fuck Marco Rubio.

📌Was watching the hockey game in a Mexican bar last night. When Canada scored, the place exploded. In but 31 days, Traitor Trump has succeeded in turning the entire world against the United States.

There is a wave of anger building across the entire country. People are already becoming fed up with Trump and Musk. These algorithms can try to hide it all they want, but they won’t be able to avoid reality for long.

On Saturday I'll be at the Lincoln Memorial at 2pm ET to support Ukraine

Happy birthday Kathleen. My sister had the power to beguile. She made us believe that it wasn't that late. She inspired us to tell more stories, sing songs, stay for the nightcap. She suffered such heartbreak and pain without ever letting it show. We lost her way too young. Love you big sis.

“Knowing what’s problematic does make the world better, but being mad at everyone who ever did anything imperfectly absolutely makes the world a thousand times worse.” This conversation between @mskellymhayes.bsky.social and @margaret.bsky.social is worth your time: truthout.org/audio/lets-l...

I was labeled a “conspiracy theorist” and had multiple defamatory hit pieces written about me for making the below observation in the immediate aftermath of the 2016 election. I wish more people had seen it sooner, before it all had time to play out and became too late.

Dolly Parton is also mega rich but instead of buying Twitter or buying all the politicians, she put 150 million books into the hands of children. Be like Dolly. 📚 #USDemocracy
