(around the No Kings logo, images of megaphones, and a photo of protesters holding signs that read “ICE OUT”) MARCH 28 NO KINGS NO THRONES. NO CROWNS.

The date for the next No Kings Day is set.

But this is a save the date, not a “sit back and wait.” 🧵

The so-called Save America Act will force 21 million American citizens to produce passports or birth certificates just to register to vote. Most do not have them ready. Turning paperwork into a barrier is a poll tax by another name. #HandsOffHerVote social.demcast.com/s/L9X3k1fQ

In just a few moments, I will vote against the so-called SAVE America Act and I am a strong no. That's because this bill would place unnecessary burdens on millions of women and eligible citizens to register to vote and make their voices heard. It is un-American & undermines our democracy.

I love @aeon.co magazine. It's longer-form reading than most online features, and the topics cover nearly everything. My favorite recent article talks about holes in the web. How even Hindi, for example, the third most spoken language, is sorely under-represented online.

Homeless Oregon youth got $1,000 a month for two years. Most found housing after • Oregon Capital Chronicle Oregon is the second of its kind in the nation to implement the direct cash transfer program after New York City.

"By the end of the two-year period, 94% of participants reported they were housed."

A million pilot programs show the same thing: when people are given enough money to afford housing, homelessness ends.

Other supports matter, but housing comes first. Not policing. Not moralizing. Homes.

Another positive comment for her please: You are an elegant, charming creature of astounding loveliness!

a brown wire-haired pup stands on a wooden deck in a grassy yard. he looks at us with golden eyes and his right ear flipped inside out. he has a pipe-shaped stick in his mouth, giving him the appearance of a sophisticated and dapper gentleman. just give him a deerstalker cap and a cloak, and he'd give Sherlock Holmes a run for his money.

This pup found a stick shaped like an old timey pipe earlier today and has already solved three mysteries. 13/10

Screenshot of an X.com post by Aaron Reichlin-Melnick (@ReichlinMelnick) claiming an ICE whistleblower revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, and that ICE hid the memo from the public. Below the post is an excerpt from a document (a numbered section titled “The Gravamen of the Disclosure”) describing a May 12, 2025 memo said to authorize agents to enter homes without a judicial warrant, consent, or an emergency.

ICE wrote a memo to get around warrantless entries into homes, and they knew it was so illegal they kept it secret until a whistleblower blew the scheme open.

Before I became mayor, I had the privilege of serving in the New York State Assembly. And on Tuesday, Feb. 3, Astoria & Long Island City can elect @DianaforQueens to continue our work.

I'm so proud to endorse Diana, a Queens mom, an immigrant organizer & a democratic socialist.

This has to be criminal. ICE is out of control!

Thank you, thank you.

Back in Chicago this week, President Obama went to his Hyde Park barbershop. There’s nothing like familiar faces and the feeling of home. When the Obama Presidential Center opens next June, we can’t wait to welcome the world to the South Side.

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased.

Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power.

Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable.

But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless.

Remember this.

Let's get this done, California. Vote YES on Prop 50.
