Thank you Governor Katie Hobbs!

Called my congressman who voted for the SAVE act.

Me: What documents will I need to vote if this passes?
Staffer: a DL and birth certificate.
Me: The documents don’t match
Staffer: Then a marriage certificate.
Me: Will my husband need the marriage certificate too?
Staffer: No
Me: See the problem?

Just saw Stephen Miller outside Tysons Mall getting into a car with his security Told him to his face that he's hurting American families. He didn't look up and his security told me I need to keep moving.

I was with my son and holding a Lego bag. These men are weak, cruel cowards.

Imagine being so hated that people all over the country march in the streets to say how much you suck.

Japanese American National Museum takes a stand against DOGE cuts to NEH The National Endowment for the Humanities warned museums across the country that it was slashing funding, including money previously pledged to places such as LACMA and the Japanese American National ...

“The Japanese American National Museum says Trump admin may withhold as much as $2 million approved by the Biden admin.”

“Facing pressure to scrub its website of diversity and inclusion references, a JANM leader says the museum will ‘scrub nothing.’”

Nothing makes me happier than Elon spending millions of dollars on the Wisconsin election and still lost because he knows no amount of money can change him being a loser

This is a moment in time when everything we do matters.

Don't stay silent.
Don't give in to fear.
Don't let tyranny prevail.

History will remember.

I’ve read several articles today referring to RFK Jr. or Geier as vaccine “skeptics”. I again beg the media to STOP SPREADING MISINFORMATION. They are not skeptics. They are lying, grifting, unqualified frauds who are promoting a conspiracy.

“Conspiracy theorists” would be much more accurate.

Rebellions are built on hope.

The same oligarchs who claim they hate government handouts are almost entirely reliant on government handouts themselves. Some would say it is hypocritical. But remember that hypocrisy is merely an expression of power.

I might call Juan Ciscomani’s office Monday and innocently suggest that he confer with @aoc.bsky.social for tips about how to meet with his constituents, since 23,000 of them showed up for AOC in Tucson today. He’s my representative (R, gerrymandering) and he’s too much of a coward to meet with us.

Bernie Sanders, AOC, and Greg Casar on stage in Tucson in front a crowd of 23,000 people.

Tucson, Arizona today.

Original projected attendance was 3,000 people.

23,000 showed up.

Patriarchy is toxic.

Did you know that the muscles that happen in tetanus can be so severe that they can cause fractures? Yet there are parents who feel that's still a dice worth rolling for the child over getting them vaccinated.
Anti-vaccine movement is a cult and it's hold is really hard to break.

Federal judge orders Colorado district to return banned books to school libraries The order prohibits the school board from removing books “because the district disagrees with the views expressed therein or merely to further their preferred political or religious orthodoxy.”

Good news from Colorado: A U.S. District Judge ordered a school district to restore library books they banned by next week, prohibiting the district from further restrictions on access to books that the school board objects to politically.

NEW: In the AEA/Venezuelan kidnapping case, fed. judge says gov't filing—which was filed, but tardy—is "woefully insufficient."

there were multiple reporters outside of the institute of museum and library services today as DOGE invaded their headquarters, but not a single elected official.

something to consider when thinking about who’s actually defending democracy.

I spent 10 years as a tuberculosis doctor working in the US and globally. Recent funding cuts to global TB programs aren't just stalling progress—they're actively reversing decades of advances against the world's deadliest infectious disease.

Misinformation and disinformation are more contagious than measles and will ultimately kill more Americans by a factor of at least 100. Those deaths will, of course, include those from measles itself.

RFK Jr.’s organization is using the family of the 6-year-old girl who died of measles to convince other parents NOT to vaccinate. This is completely disgusting and is a symptom of our post-truth society. The head of HHS is undermining evidence-based science and further victimizing this family.
