As governor, I know @mikiesherrill.bsky.social will deliver for New Jersey. She has the experience and plans to drive down costs – and the integrity, grit, and commitment to service to be the kind of leader we need right now.

Make a plan to vote today at mikiesherrill.com.

I'm honored to have President @barackobama.bsky.social on Team Mikie.

This movement is about delivering something better for New Jersey — lower costs, more opportunity for our kids, and a government that's truly accountable to the people.

🚨 I do not know when or where, but it doesn’t matter. This is depravity. This is a child. Those are state employed monsters. There is nothing normal about being “okay” with doing this job. 1/2

Stephen Miller wants a violent incident on Saturday.

Let’s frustrate him with how peaceful we can be. Don’t engage hecklers, watch for agitators, take video evidence when needed.

I saw this graphic floating around. In general it has the right idea.

Overcome evil with good.

NO KINGS
Top 10 Rally Reminders
Lead with Love, Not Anger.
Focus your energy on what you stand for, not what you stand against. Anger fades; compassion lasts.
Look Out for One Another.
Offer water, a smile, or friendly chat to someone nearby. Check on families, elders, and people with mobility needs.
Smile and Greet Others.
Say hello, wave, or share a word of encouragement. Small acts of friendliness build community trust and lower tension.
Celebrate Families and Kids.
Keep the atmosphere family-friendly, and invite children to join in with chants and songs-joyful ways to express civic pride.
Lift Your Voice with Positivity.
Joy is contagious. The more you smile, sing, and stay grounded, the safer and stronger everyone around you feels.
Keep It Clean and Respectful.
Leave our rally space as beautiful as you found it-or better. Treat it with respect, care, and gratitude for peace.
Make Your Sign Speak Peace.
Choose messages that uplift-creative, clever, values-based signs draw attention without aggression or profanity.
Be Mindful of Words & Tone.
Speak with kindness, even when disagreeing. Avoid insults, sarcasm, or chants that demean others.
Model Nonviolence in Every Action.
If confronted, breathe, stay calm, and step back. Do not engage or argue, alert a Guardian in an orange vest.
Carry Joy Beyond the Rally.
After the event, share stories, photos, and reflections that highlight unity and courage-show the world what peaceful power looks like.

The only people that benefit from the US not signing on to the Rome Statue are those who are committing international crimes. No, it doesn't only happen to far away countries, it can happen your community, family, friends, and you. The ICC is there to ensure our right to justice. #3E #EndImpunity

Then right after, at 9PM, it's the premier of our new documentary: "Andrew Young: The Dirty Work"...

See you then!

Meiselas: Turmoil grips the U.S. military as Admiral Alvin Holsey, head of U.S. Naval forces in Latin America, resigns, reportedly over opposition to Trump regime–ordered war crimes off the coast of Venezuela, as the regime engages in extrajudicial killings under the guise of "anti-drug operations."

Gov. Pritzker isn’t mincing words—he’s calling it what it is: a Union tearing apart and a state under military invasion by an authoritarian regime. This isn’t politics anymore. It’s a full-blown crisis. Big shoutout to Pritzker for having the courage to say it out loud. 🙌🏽

Levin: I did not pay one dime to any Republican to publicize the No Kings protest. They’re talking about it all by themselves because they’re scared—scared of mass, peaceful people power.

They can smear us all they want—these are our First Amendment rights, and we’re showing up.

I just got an email out of nowhere saying someone is giving us $12,500 in general operating funds for my nonprofit.

SOLELY because someone told them who I was and the kind of work I do.

Y’all God is good. The work is righteous and so are the women we serve.

This is potentially a massive story. Did DOJ plan for survivors? Do they have sufficient evidence to prosecute? What is US jurisdiction to prosecute? Where will they go next? When is their court date? Will they be indicted? Held at Gitmo? Returned to Venezuela? Be Epsteined?
