We are all time travelers on this planet. We look up and we see the lights of the distant past. We look around us and we see the present. We look inward, and we can see into the future.

I have identified at least two dozen pardoned Capitol Rioters that are currently attending CPAC in Washington, D.C. —including members of far right extremists groups such as the Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers. Updates on Pardon Tracker's interactive visualization: embed.kumu.io/39b5108ec4a0...

I remember having a little laugh about the original quote. Yet it never stopped haunting me. And now here we are. Today was my first time seeing Kruschev's follow-up remark from Yugoslavia in 1963. It's not a ghost or spectre. This is real.

🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot. REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!

The Trump Administration’s stated policy goals include the firing of no fewer than 60,000 veterans from government positions. Apparently, that plan included veterans who work not just for the VA, but the Veterans Crisis Line. youtu.be/ncXQ5NTwVSA

Last night I attended the Save Our Services rally in New York City. Listen to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) fighting for people & federal workers: “Every day our job is to wake up and say ‘what can I do today?’ — There is no act too small. Every action matters.” @aoc.bsky.social

Just a friendly reminder that even if you didn't vote for your current congress-member or senator, that you are still their constituent and you have the right to call and demand a stop to this feckery. We especially need people in red districts to do this. #nowmorethanever

Jasmine Crockett, after accusing colleagues of castrating their Constitutional duty, said, “My job is to make sure we don’t have any kings or queens in this country, but it seems like you all have decided it’s going to be Mr. King and his queen. And y’all can pick which one is which.”

Who's fault it is doesn't matter anymore. What could have been, isn't. Now we have to decide what we are doing. There are only a few among the Democratic leadership who are standing. We need to stand up together as Americans. Now. #50501

Democrats should not vote on a single Trump cabinet nominee until this federal assistance freeze is rescinded. Do not let up.

Donald Trump is pardoning insurrectionists and renaming geographic landmarks to distract you from the fact he is literally about to freeze all federal assistance dollars. He is flooding the zone to distract you. Don't let him!
