President Barack Obama speaks in front of Prague Castle, April 5, 2009. Photo by Julia Bryan

In April 2009, President Obama came to Prague and spoke to an enormous crowd I was honored to be a part of.

If you have a minute, this speech reminds us of what real leadership sounds like: obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/the-press-of...

Thank you @brucespringsteen.net !

91 point spread between the D and R candidates in Minnesota's 64A Special Election. That is huge.

In 1945, my grandfather’s battalion liberated the Flossenbürg concentration camp. He spent the rest of his life telling its story to ensure Americans knew what really happened.
Grandaddy knew the importance of being a witness to truth. Let's be ready to stand for truth too.

“Freedom is not free. We have to work at it. Nurture it. Protect it. Even sacrifice for it.”

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.

If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

NY is in solidarity with TX Dems, and so are Americans abroad!

Epstein crisis forces House GOP to scrap votes Republicans will not to tee up a series of bills this week because Democrats are continuing to force votes over releasing the Jeffrey Epstein files.

The House is literally adjourning and leaving town to avoid having to vote again to cover up the Epstein stuff (yep, sure seems 100% totally and truly over) www.politico.com/live-updates...

Five under the radar things Trump snuck into his "Big Beautiful Bill":
- Delivers tax breaks to Big Oil
- Defunds Planned Parenthood
- Raises drug prices for seniors (Big Pharma giveaway)
- Hikes monthly student loan payments
- Makes ICE the biggest federal law enforcement agency

So proud of Hakeem Jeffries for standing up and speaking out about this terrible terrible bill. We stand with you!

Senate Republicans Can Still Abandon Disastrous, Rushed Reconciliation Bill | Center on Budget and Policy Priorities The Senate is barreling toward a vote on a still-not-finished bill that would take away health coverage and food assistance from millions of people who need it, raise families’ costs, and make a large...

On Juneteenth, we celebrate Black freedom, resilience, culture, and the enduring strength of community across generations. We acknowledge our nation’s full history and the long, ongoing fight for freedom and justice for Black Americans.

Juneteenth is a celebration of freedom, but also a reminder: freedom delayed is freedom denied. #Juneteenth #BlackHistory #FreedomDay #NeverForget

Supreme Court OKs Tennessee ban on gender-affirming care for kids, a setback for transgender rights An American Civil Liberties Union lawyer says the Supreme Court decision upholding Tennessee’s ban on gender-affirming care for transgender minors is “a devastating loss for transgender people” and "e...

The Supreme Court’s decision is an affront to equal protection and parental control over medical decision-making. Transgender young people and their families shouldn't have to fight to make the most personal medical decisions in consultation with their doctors.

Kristi Noem must resign. She has deported a four year old with cancer, detained a U.S. marshal, and arrested two members of Congress. She’s lost the confidence of the American people. ICE must stop terrorizing our communities.

🚨 URGENT: Sen. Padilla was forcibly removed & handcuffed at a public briefing in CA yesterday.

This is an attack on free speech, representation, & democracy.

Call Congress: +1 (202) 224-3121
Demand they speak out. Demand an investigation & appropriate charges.

History teaches us painfully: When dictatorial powers are seized, they’re not voluntarily given up 

Trump wants to cherry-pick the Constitution—but that’s not how democracy works! 

He’ll have to keep learning that lesson by LOSING in court @newsnation.bsky.social

The 4th Circuit DENIES emergency stay in a scathing - and beautifully stated - rebuke of executive overreach.

Republicans didn't allow a single amendment to the terrible SAVE bill to make it possible for voters on this list to register.

Their only interest is voter suppression.

Thank you @padilla.senate.gov‬! 👏

The millions of Americans who vote from abroad are cheering your fight against the SAVE Act. Please remember us - the deployed military & families, students abroad, Americans living abroad for work or family.

And please protect our right to vote.

Hi @gobsofbluefruit.bsky.social - the primary for NYC mayor is the battleground that decides the next D candidate. DNC folk do not. 100% support doing all you can to get out the vote for your choice. I'll be there helping voters abroad register and cast their ballots & fighting for our rights.

When Republicans block every effort to help U.S. citizens register if they can’t reach their election office, that’s not "election integrity" — that's voter suppression.

Stock markets since Trump's Inauguration - we're all clearly winning here.
(also, @jimmykimmel.com's info graphics folk, 🤌)

Gorgeous to watch that live today. Our Dem Reps are standing up!

"There is no strategy.... is this market manipulation?"

Getting to the point brilliantly @repstevenhorsford.bsky.social !!
