Democracy is fragile & I’m devoted to keeping it strong. Use your voice & not violence that divides us. It takes 2 strong good faith parties to unite our Country. Facts & truth matter. I’m a lifetime Democrat but open to good ideas fr anyone. NO LISTS

‘Tonight the rule of law said ‘hell no’’ Gavin Newsom took a victory lap Sunday night after a federal judge once again blocked President Donald Trump from sending the National Guard into Oregon.

"'That judge ought to be ashamed of himself,' the president said, apparently unaware that his appointee, Immergut, is a woman." www.politico.com/newsletters/...

100% agree with every word as well. Another swing for the fences moment and a powerful lesson for the Country to learn.

🧵I agree with Tim Snyder. I also posted it. The powers around Trump are amassing all the power they can and then they call for Vance to evoke the 25th. ⬇️

Your article re: pundits, experts, commentators, strategists reminded me of how Mamdani is running his race and why so many like him.

A lie. The truth: A Cuomo win would amount to a Trump take over of NYC. He is the Trump candidate.

Living with Injustice Gary Tyler had his life taken away, yet managed to claw it back.

🙏 Seems those who faced unimaginable injustices never gave up their hope. Nelson Mandela. Hope allowed them to pursue justice for others w/o bitterness many of us wld feel. Dr. Jane Goodall made a video abt hope b4 she died. Many pen abt how important friendships are. Not enough write abt hope.

It’s time for soft secession How blue states can use their economic clout to stand up to Trump’s agenda—starting with California.

Yes to every single idea in this @clarajeffery.bsky.social story on soft secession. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Absolutely! Thanks for highlighting that!
I clocked that right away, too. Ressa is outstanding. While she is internationally known and has many public appearances, most people in the US don't know who she is or that she owns her own media company and social media platform.

It seems clear—I think to everyone, now—that a false and illegal invocation of the Insurrection Act is coming before the end of the year. Media outlets should be telling us how they will prepare for this potential Treason. State governments should be telling us. Activists should be developing plans.
