I was born before the Berlin Wall. I lived long enough to see it fall.
Now I watch a new wall rising in America—not of concrete, but of minds—an invisible barrier forged by the loss of our democracy.
I believe I will live long enough to see it come down too.

I continue to wonder when Americans will decide enough is enough. As Frederick Douglass reminds us:

“The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress.”

Why stop there? Let’s rename all Depts after what Trump is inflicting on America.

Dept of HHS -> Dept of Hepatitis and Human Suffering
Dept of VA -> Dept of Veteran Abandonment
Dept of Education -> Dept of Erasure of History
Dept of Commerce -> Dept of Corruption

Just a start.

Here, fixed it.

💯.

While Trump was golfing this weekend and Ted Cruz was vacationing in Greece, Mexico President Claudia Sheinbaum quietly sent rescue teams to help with the Texas floods.

Despite the racist and sexist attacks from weak men, she still did the right thing. That's leadership.

The President's disastrous decision to bomb Iran without authorization is a grave violation of the Constitution and Congressional War Powers. He has impulsively risked launching a war that may ensnare us for generations. It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.

AOC: “It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.”

BREAKING: A federal judge reversed National Institutes of Health's terminations of hundreds of critical research grants that were canceled because of their alleged connection to disfavored topics, including diversity, equity, inclusion, and gender identity.

This is a major win for public health.

A message from Carl Sagan from 1995—some of his last prophetic words.

Nothing says “freedom” like Trump drooling over communist-style military parades. Tanks in the streets, flags flying, and zero awareness of irony.

Please denounce Defense Secretary Hegseth’s blatant bigotry and honor Korean War veteran and civil rights hero Harvey Milk in the process. The men and women who serve us are already warriors. Bigotry is un-American. ✊🏾❤️🇺🇸

Today I introduced the BARK Act to help America feed hungry shelter animals. We need everyone involved to get this bi-paw-tisan bill passed into law, including from our furry friends. We’re in dogged pursuit of passage this Congress.

Thank you!

BREAKING: Scott Pelley just risked everything to make one thing clear:
The attack on free speech isn’t coming—it’s already here.

Journalists are being silenced, critics are being punished, and most of the media’s playing dead.

This is state-sponsored suppression. This is dictatorship in real time.

Every year on Memorial Day, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring.

They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died.

France also gave us this land as American soil.

If a foreign adversary snuck into our Federal budget and cut science research and education the way we’re cutting it ourselves — strategically undermining America’s long-term health, wealth, and security — we would likely consider it an act of war.

The president goes after anyone who disagrees with him—judges, journalists, musicians, even you and me. This isn’t leadership. It’s intimidation, and we shouldn’t stay silent.

Exclusive: FEMA is ��not ready” for hurricane season, internal agency review shows | CNN Politics Hurricane preparations at FEMA have slowed to a crawl. With hurricane season weeks away, a new assessment raises a number of red flags about how the agency would respond to a major disaster.

With hurricane season almost upon us, it’s critical to make sure we work to improve FEMA, not dismantle it.

Pence: "To have POTUS in Saudi Arabia questioning America's global war on terror & describing is as nation building & interventionist I thought was a disservice to generations of Americans who wore the uniform..particularly giving that speech in Saudi Arabia where 15 of the 19 hijackers hailed from"

Go, Pope, go!

Lies. Hate. Evil. 😠

Bribery in plain sight.
