Elizabeth Warren on people who say Dems needs to tone down their rhetoric: "Oh, please. Why don't you start with the president of the United States? And every ugly meme he's posted and every ugly word."

WATCH: Senate Republicans just blocked Sen. Ossoff’s amendment to prevent the cutoff of food aid to starving children in war zones.

Are you listening? It’s the least you can do.
Powerful, substantive, passionate. A clarion call to stand.

10,000 employees laid off from the HHS today under RFK Jr.’s orders. Massive cuts to FDA safety inspections, CDC disease surveillance, and NIH research. These aren’t just jobs-this is a staggering blow to America’s public health infrastructure.

I want the t-shirts, the posters, the sepia prints, the velvet portrait, the trapper keepers, the lunch boxes, the I-phone covers.

Rep @algreen.house.gov is an American patriot.

"Empathy is not weak or "woke." And, by the way, "woke" just means you give a damn about other people."

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office.

Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc.

Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

When I talk to family that either voted for this circus or wanted to stay “neutral”:
I’m honest about how exhausting it’s making everyone I know. How scared, sad, angry the communities I work with are. It makes them hella uncomfy. My advice? Keep making people uncomfortable. It’s not nothing

So, that halftime show made it clear, yet?

REVOLUTIONARY MOVEMENTS NEED ART

It's the air and the fuel and the light and the map

I back this 100000%

Maybe the perimenopausal rage was always the goal. Maybe women are supposed to get there with age.
Idk but…no matter what: 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Senator Raphael Warnock ahead of the vote on RFK Jr. for HHS Secretary:

"I simply do not trust him to oversee the CDC. He's unqualified, and I dare say that everybody here knows it."

BOOM!

White House pauses all federal grants, sparking confusion The Trump administration has put a hold on all federal financial grants and loans, affecting tens of billions of dollars in payments.

I think some people hear “grants” and think that without them, scientists and government workers just have less stuff to play with at work. But grants fund salaries for students, academics, researchers, and people who work in all areas of public service.

“Pausing” grants means people don’t eat.

I hope y’all aren't trying to fight fascism without the appropriate playlist. Whether I'm boxing or strategizing, I'm listening to Kendrick.

“Music helps reduce pain by activating sensory pathways that compete with pain pathways, stimulating emotional responses, and engaging cognitive attention.”

This is a slap in the face to American women.

Pete Hegseth has a track record of disrespecting women service members, and multiple credible sexual assault allegations.

Our troops deserve better.

Go ahead and escape in a book.

Next time you feel like spreading some love, text an introvert friend and cancel plans you never made, that way they'll feel great because they were invited to something, and also relieved they didn't have to go

If anyone needs me I’ll be celebrating New Year’s Eve in my blanket fort like an adult

You know why I love reading? These days it’s one of the few respites from being constantly advertised to.

To honor one of the most compassionate Americans we've ever known, consider an act of kindness today, for a loved one or even a stranger, however small.

Be the reason someone feels seen today. Sometimes all it takes is a kind word or a sincere gesture.

It will make Jimmy smile.

There are no rules in this no man’s land between Christmas & New Years.

Read all night! Don’t finish a book! Read three books at once!

Just go nuts.

I don't think I want a new year this time around, I want a gently used year like a 2015 or maybe a 1998 if it's in good shape idk

I’m starting to call BlueSky this app and refer to it like I’ve been on it for a decade. It really has just replaced Twitter in my mind

If you’re afraid that books might change someone’s thinking, you’re not afraid of books, you’re afraid of thinking.
