If you’re planning to protest tomorrow:

1. Thank you! Make it big. Stay peaceful.

2. Be careful. There will be people trying to agitate and stir shit up.

3. Take a buddy if you can. If not, video is your friend.

4. Have a plan to get the fuck out if it goes sideways.

Very excited for these concerts! I love the program—all three pieces are so emotionally satisfying to play. Can’t wait to share them with the community. And extra special for me—my daughter Iman Aurora will be playing in the violin section with me!
Get your tickets now! 🎻

Trump can simply give $40 billion in US tax money to his pals in Argentina, openly admit it is for the intended purpose of keeping the MAGA allied right wing government in power, and pocket billions for himself. The US has no laws anymore and that's your money they are stealing.

Trump is escalating his attacks on US citizens because Mike Johnson can’t hold off the congress for much longer. Once government is in session enough votes have reportedly been obtained to release the Jeffrey Epstein files.

Jeffries: "What's hateful is what happened on January 6. That was a Hate America Rally sponsored by Donald Trump and his sycophants who incited a violent mob to storm the Capitol. That is what hate looks like. What you will see this weekend is what patriotism looks like."

Swearing in isn’t some ceremony. You aren’t a member of Congress until it happens. He knows that.

No phones, no staff, nothing.

I had to escort her into the Capitol on Wed bc Capitol police must treat her as a public visitor until she’s sworn in. And solo visitors aren’t allowed during shutdown!

Johnson: "Grijalva should be working for her constituents right now. I don't know what she's doing. I keep seeing their political stunt videos. She should be in her office. She should be working or in the district for her constituents" (Grijalva is not in fact a Rep. b/c Johnson refuses to seat her)

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Elizabeth Warren: "The president said 'I am going to impose a lot more pain on my fellow American citizens. I'm going to impose a lot more pain on people in NY who need to use those tunnels so I can get my way politically.' To me, that is a place to stop & say, then we're ready to fight about this"
