“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

In the depths of the Nebraskan winter, 2400 people came out to listen to Bernie Sanders in Omaha last night. 800 had to be turned away at the door. Over 190,000 tuned into the livestream. There is a movement to be harnessed here. @sanders.senate.gov (📸 Anna Bahr)

I'm dumb. I can't figure out how to end world hunger. But I do promise that I will continue to change healthcare in this country and make it more affordable, possibly setting a path towards Universal Healthcare.

The House could vote next week on drastic cuts to Medicaid that would gut critical programs that protect the civil rights and dignity of millions of Americans — including people with disabilities. Contact your member of Congress: No cuts to Medicaid.

Better not call it a “vaccine” or it might not get approved. Maybe market it as a recreational drug.

83% of Americans disapprove of King Donold’s pardoning his Jan. 6 goon squad, and now his poll numbers are falling faster than a gold-plated toilet in a hurricane. SMITE!

So let's get this straight: The U.S. and Elon are now extorting Ukraine and threatening to turn off their Starlink Internet access unless they give their critical rare earth minerals to the United States? Staggering levels of corruption.

In future generations, when your children and grandchildren look back on this moment, they are not going to ask about the price of eggs. They are going to ask you what you did. Not what you felt. Not what you paid. But what you did. And I want to be able to say I did everything I possibly could.

Yes, we’re all for a more efficient government, but what we’re getting is corruption and chaos. Watch Rachel Maddow for the truth. Support the ACLU. They’re fighting for us. Dems should give town halls when the GOP cowers from their constituents. Let them know we will not bow down. Protest!

Crockett: He went from being the dork that was jumping around on stage to allegedly being this amazing genius that's gonna save a country he wasn't born in, and one that maybe he doesn't agree w/the idea of a democratic republic, considering the fact he may have been more on the side of apartheid.

Crockett: "Down in Alabama, who's broke. Down in Louisiana, who's broke. I can go through pretty much the entire south and tell you that they're broke and rely on a lot of welfare from the government. To be perfectly honest, it is tax dollars from these big blue states...we're in the find out phase"

A reminder I will be providing at least once a month for all of the remaining years of my life: Months before the 2024 election, the Department of Justice announced that there were at least six hundred Russian assets inside the United States and that some...were SITTING MEMBERS OF CONGRESS.

I joined Bluesky to promote my books. But then this happened! I do believe voter suppression won the election. The majority DID NOT vote for this. As they have chipped away at our rights and democracy, we need to chip away at voter suppression laws and gerrymandering. Small wins add up. Recount!

They were never going to lower prices. They never cared about egg prices. It's the same lie as CRT. They want us chasing their bullshit while the real mission is to disassemble the government so the rich can get richer. They are on a mission to destroy it all. It's beyond a coup.

Baldwin: "Last night, the president said 'I'm not touching Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, VA, I'm not touching them.' By this morning, he endorsed the House budget resolution which paves the way for massive cuts to Medicaid."

HELL YEAH: In a masterful speech, the Democratic governor of Illinois, JB Pritzker announces not ONLY a balanced budget in his state but alludes to Donald Trump and Elon Musk as being “IDIOTS.” Let me know if you agree with him.
