Fair but writing a book about character and leaving your wife to then marry your two plus decades younger research assistant is a bit much imo.

CALL NOW: Tell Your Democratic Senator It's Time for Chuck Schumer to Step Aside

Enough is enough. Contact your Democratic senators TODAY and tell them to call for Senator Schumer to step aside as Minority Leader. We desperately need new leadership in the Democratic Party.

This is part of the tragedy of a surrender now. It invites more pain and suffering by emboldening the regime. Why should they listen to a weak opposition?

Don’t cave. And don’t let your colleagues cave either

Schiff has a full voicemail box and Padilla has NO voicemail box. Ugh.

Interesting, the last time there was a big jump was the election after Trump's first inauguration... nearly the same amount this time, but from a much higher base number!

Heads up, #fremont : possible ICE activity in the Sundale district reported. Critical items:
Don’t open your door if you get a knock.
Don’t answer ANY questions.
ICE needs a signed judicial warrant to enter your premises without your approval- explainer in 🧵
Call ACILEP if you get a knock 1/

I was looking up Election Day 2026 info today (kind of randomly) and happened to notice that for City of Berkeley candidates there is an extended deadline if the incumbent decides not to run by the regular deadline. now I know why it’s written that way.

There is information coming out that ICE (& who knows what else) will be "invading" the Bay Area this Saturday. Be prepared, not scared.

Why is @bsky.app trending topic “Manchester incident”. It was at the very least an attack, likely an antisemitic attack. Definitely more than an incident??? I didn’t see it called an incident when I clicked through to see the posts either.

SCOTUS: considering race as one factor in a college applicant's file is blatantly unconstitutional

ALSO SCOTUS: considering race as one factor in targeting whom to detain and deport is cool cool cool

When I learned how much the delivery services keep (not the drivers) during the pandemic, I insisted we pick up when we were getting our once a week takeout. It’s a habit that mostly stuck.

I only give directly to campaigns these days. No text or phone call solicitations for me and I tell the phone callers what I’m doing.

DNC Chair @kenmartin.bsky.social could decide to sever this contract today and dramatically shift the Democrats’ campaign outreach strategy & budget to meet the moment.

If you don't already, watch Colbert. He is a man with no more f*cks left to give. And it's glorious.

Good morning! I'm in Uganda to visit family and friends.

But depending on your perspective, don't worry or I'm sorry: I'll be back by the end of the month.

See you soon, NYC.

Yep I got it too.

Please support the bipartisan war powers resolution to prevent further escalation.

“Tasted a little tear gas— tasted like fascism”

What's happening tonight is anything but law and order. Don't be deceived.

Why am I getting fundraising texts from Dems mentioning James Carville? Even as a 60yo white woman I don’t care about his opinion. I’m sure most people younger than me care even less.

The dilemma is that Hillary Clinton was by far the best candidate ever nominated by any party in terms of experience. And yet she lost the electoral college. It’s that part of our system that makes a woman nominee so tough. I really hope to see a woman president in my lifetime (I’m 60).

We’re in the next stage of authoritarianism. Sending support to Rep. McIver.

Did the New England Patriots team plane just fly to Guantanamo? 👀

it's important this go as viral as the original story for morale purposes if nothing else. despite the image they project these people are NOT unaccountable. consequences CAN be forced. focused anger and outrage MATTERS.

Six Men Are Charged After Woman Was Dragged From Idaho Town Hall The plainclothes guards were involved in the forcible removal of a woman from a meeting hosted by local Republicans in Coeur d’Alene, prosecutors said.

Six men who prosecutors said took part in forcibly removing a woman from a town-hall meeting hosted by local Republicans in Coeur d’Alene, a small city in northern Idaho, in February are facing charges including battery and false imprisonment.

What else would you expect them to tell the NYT? As much as I’d love folks to admit that they got it wrong the way these questions are framed seems like they will be much more likely to dig in rather than admit they f’d up.
