Wanna see something cool?

At the Grammy's in 1976, Ella Fitzgerald and Mel Torme explained what jazz is.

The result? The crowd losing its mind. 🔥

Reminder:

Trump has still not complied with the April 10th Supreme Court ruling on Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

On national television he also admitted he could bring him home with one phone call.

I kind of want to go

Are we “Great” yet?

Hey NBC and Seth Meyers, y’all need to book the largest possible venue in D.C. on April 26th and do a competing fundraiser and comedy show that actually celebrates the First Amendment. Televise it. Make Amber Ruffin the central act. Send a message that free speech is non-negotiable.

Yep

I wish I lived in a caring, thoughtful country where politics wasn't about winning an election next year, but helping our citizens this year.

I'm about 20,000 words in. It's taking shape. :)

Oh, in this book, for sure, lol.

Why do my characters in this book insist on choosing long names that I will then have to type over and again? Lol. #WritingCommunity #amwriting

The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. It’s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific.

If you know anyone who is impacted, please help them get online to get their benefits approved

After playing a fictional member of the Resistance a long time ago, I never could have imagined it ever happening in real life, but here we are.

The best way to confront a bully about the misinformation he is spreading is to confront him in front of everyone. Macron just did that.

The Revolution will be AI-icized

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.”

A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

Paul Martin, the inspector general for the USAID, has been fired after resisting the administration. Just a day ago, his office released a report warning that staff reductions and spending freezes put hundreds of millions in taxpayer dollars at risk of misuse and waste. This is the way.

When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty.

Thank you! A federal judge blocked U.S. DOGE employees from altering any records of payments at the Treasury Department while she weighs a request by public interest groups for a broader injunction against their activity. Thank you, U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly’s! 🙏

FYI:

Dear @Doge

If there is nothing to hide. Hide nothing

is it good or bad that a billionaire oligarch with close ties to foreign dictators is currently downloading the most sensitive information the us federal government has about its citizens to his own private servers?

#25thAmendmentNow

This is a slap in the face to American women.

Pete Hegseth has a track record of disrespecting women service members, and multiple credible sexual assault allegations.

Our troops deserve better.

Dems would get much more traction finding and promoting people saying what they know and experience.

What has more impact, This man speaking his mind or the Dems speaking “in unison “ ?
