Working hard to save us. Working to solve climate change and our democracy. First major party transgender gubernatorial candidate. DEI is still good. I cry over injustice. Don't think for a second that makes me weak!

I am so proud of my son Derek for his work as Cinematographer on this documentary that just won the Golden Globe at Canne. This is how we will defeat fascism. We will repeat the truth over and over.

I suggest you read Maria Ressa's book, How to Stand up to a Dictator. Ignoring it is the worst thing we can do.

The Pentagon will revoke the press passes of virtually every single major news outlet because they refused to sign a pledge that violates the freedom of press. Dictatorships know how important it is to control the press.

This Saturday, join me as I lead a march from the Old North End in Burlington to City Hall for a rally. You will be with millions of protesters across the country to making it clear that you want to be free of the Trump oligarchy. We will be gathering at Roosevelt Park at 10:30am.

We needs the guys in white coats. Trump needs to be put in a safe place where he can be cared for. I would say a place where he can be visited by his loved ones, however I suspect there aren't any.

"The administration did not like that CDC data did not support their narrative, so they got rid of them. They didn’t like that CDC policy groups would not rubber stamp their unscientific ideas, so they got rid of them,”

I think our Governor should run for President. We need to pull the country back together again.

Poor Donnie. He wanted the peace price so much. I expect he will start a war with this assault on his vanity. Maria Machado from Venezuela is the winner.

A typical road in Vermont. Sixty percent of Vermont roads are dirt. They are smoothest during winter. That's when they get iced over. Don't worry, we covered the ice with sand.
