Thank you for the boost!

The Death of EQ (and Maybe IQ Too) What the last eight years have revealed about America’s emotional and intellectual decline.

Finally started a Substack.

Part reflection, part action plan for fighting fascism.

Senate Republicans are doing all of this and more — hurting working people across our nation — in order to pay for $1 trillion in tax cuts for billionaires.

There is still time to stop this bill before it passes in the House. Call 202-224-3121 and tell your representative to vote no.

Thanks to Senate Republicans, 17 million people will lose their health care.

Thanks to Senate Republicans, three million Americans, including veterans and seniors, will lose food assistance.

Thanks to Senate Republicans, families will see their energy bills go up by $400 a year.

Good news by the debased standards of the current moment

A woman who is a Californian, the daughter of academic immigrants, including an NIH-funded scholar, a prosecutor committed to the Rule of Law, with extensive foreign policy experience, respected by leaders around the world, was the ideal person to avoid literally everything we’re experiencing now.

i know there's a lot going on...but i just wanted to make sure, is jake tapper's book still flopping?

Don’t understand why this took so long, but anyway good to have this on record. Hope the courts hold with the inevitable lawsuits.

Totally. They are basically telling Black voters/Dems to sit down and let the white men handle things.

Spain Orders Airbnb to Take Down 66,000 Rental Listings

The Spanish government ordered Airbnb to remove nearly 66,000 listings from its platform, widening a crackdown on tourist rentals as it seeks to alleviate a housing crisis that has become among the worst in Europe.

My message to Biden aides: shut up already. Some of you never liked her to begin with & somehow held it against her for calling out Biden's praising segregationists instead of recognizing she made him a better candidate. Don't make up lies about her not being nice. She's incredibly nice.

The interesting thing is that I expected that @kamalaharris.com would give her first major speech after Trump's first 100 days in office so that she had a full record, a full brief, as it were, with which to prosecute his performance in office, & that's exactly what she's doing on Wednesday.

Everyone fire your consultants. My god

And he has always been a big Gavin fanboy which leads to me to believe he just has a thing for loud mouth men.

Should I torture myself and watch it for the sake of oppo research? Perhaps 😂

If people had just voted for Gore, Obama, Hillary, and Harris, we’d be light years ahead of where we are.

That’s amazing! Yea I think with everything going on it’s almost necessary to get back in touch with our roots. And that goes for all indigenous peoples.

I started listing to some mantras again for the past 2 weeks and I can’t believe I stopped doing it for so long. Instant calm and reminder that I’m lucky enough to grow up with this knowledge, so I shouldn’t ignore it.

Fear has a way of being contagious.

But courage is also contagious.

She’s here!! 🥹

I like Gretchen Whitmer. Nothing against her. But like Newsom she's an incredibly overrated national candidate. Including by people like Obama, whose political judgment has atrophied. Whitmer doesn't have the rizz to be a national candidate. We're in an era when you really need to have charisma.

Harris: We are in the midst of seeing progress being rolled back, policies that we birthed, being rolled back, the terms that we used for what is progress in America being turned into a pejorative? Intended to deny the facts. And to deny smart policy…

Trump is in deep trouble with Independents.

We could have had 60-year-old President Kamala Harris at the top of her game. But the folks who thought cognitive decline was the top issue in 2024 wanted this instead.

This isn't just politics—it's personal. This moment calls for more than a politician. You deserve a fighter. That's why I’m running to represent us in Congress #AZ07. #FoxxForAZ #arizona #tucson TikTok video by Deja Foxx

And as I and my fellow American politics elections & voting behavior scholars have been saying, yes, we're going to continue having elections in this country. Listen to the empirical subject matter experts on these things.

Appreciate this! I have been fearing since November that we will have Putin-like Russian elections. Last night was a good reminder that is not the case.

Kamala Harris has released a statement on Cory Booker's record-breaking speech.

Dems are finding an extra gear brothers and sisters. Courage is contagious.

It may be breaking, but @booker.senate.gov's voice has never been more powerful.

Thank you, my friend, for speaking out for freedom, justice, and the country we love.
