Grab a friend, go to a protest, and save a 248-year-old democracy. We only need 11 million Americans to say, “Nope.”

The '3.5% rule': How a small minority can change the world
Nonviolent protests are twice as likely to succeed as armed conflicts – and those engaging a threshold of 3.5% of the population have never failed to bring about change.

Never mind bleach — sunlight is the best disinfectant.

- Seat Rep-Elect @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social,

- Pass the #EpsteinFiles resolution, and

- Let the rest of us know exactly which monsters in ivy towers, private islands & gilded penthouses willfully abused children.

Sit down with the lies, if you must. But have the courage and the decency to speak the truth to their face.

Thank you, Sunny Hostin.

You may shoot me with your words,
You may cut me with your eyes,
You may kill me with your hatefulness,
But still, like air, I’ll rise.

Love of county. Love of history, science, laws & objective truth. Love of community, privacy & respect for people when they're doing their best and not harming anyone.

Yeah, can't expect national Republican freeloaders to understand that. #NoKings #StillWeRise #11MillionStrong

California, this November 4th, the whole country is counting on you.

Prop 50 puts our elections back on a level playing field, preserves independent redistricting over the long term, and lets the people decide.

So return your ballot today. Vote yes on 50.

Thank you to this vet for speaking up for someone — so many someones, actually — who can’t. For every ugly ICE agent, there are more good Americans out there standing up for real American values.

With $50,000 cash in a bag, Tom Homan could buy:

• 50-850 pigs; or
• 12 gold bars; or
• 8 x 700-milliliter bottle of Hibiki 30-year-old whisky at Costco.

The DOJ today is an acronym for “the Department of Jeff,” and I don’t think you can convince me otherwise.

Immediate Morale Boosts:

1) Acknowledging that the fall of the Trump Administration is as inevitable as the passage of the seasons; and

2) Having the imagination & compassion to dream of a fairer, safer, more active interpretation of the U.S. Constitution when Trump/MAGA/Republicans are gone.

I’ll participate in the 10/18 No Kings event for: (1) the immigrants I love who work really hard, obey the law & love this country even when some did not love us back; (2) the brave WWII officer who risked his life fighting fascism; & (3) the kids, who deserve so much better.

How about you?

Surely, there is a global award for terrifying American-born children, zip-tying grannies, and sending people who seek asylum to black sites? #UnprecedentedHorrorShow

The National Guard (unpaid) is in Chicago keeping Illinois safe from seeing the utter sewage and filth about predators in the Epstein files, named after Donald’s bestie.

Republicans—so proud to be #TeamRobberBaron & sock it to the rest of us. Good job relieving ordinary Americans of our hard-earned taxpayer money & funneling it to your donors! You aren’t done yet! There won’t be a public school, library, federal highway or hospital left standing!
