Mediator, walking the path against oppression, for justice and equality for more years than I’ve been alive, knitter, baker, cooker, dog lover, reader. Just trying for a better world for my grandkids and their generation.
And when Howard Schultz flees WA to avoid this tax, the media reports that all millionaires will leave. Ignores what happened in MA when they taxed millionaires - no flights & now they have more millionaires!
Women Strike for Peace (WSP) also had 2 cookbooks. I still have one. So depressing that these fixtures from our Vietnam protests are still relevant.
The U.S. Senate must be clear: no war with Iran.
I still have an original pendant. It was my grandmother’s.
Actually, his answer is truthful. He was asked, “how do you respond?”
Has he answered his own questionnaire? “Connected” with community? What have we wrought?
Never expect journalism from “Hitpiece” Heather Knight!
To Dem “Leaders”: Mike Johnson, his Republican colleagues have abdicated & abandoned their jobs. You are majority. Gavel the damned House to order, swear in Grijalva, pass a budget. Deny Drumpf any authority. Impeach him. Get a spine. Be useful. Enough moaning & groaning. Represent the People!
What happened to “Vote Blue No Matter Who.” Hakeem Jeffries doesn’t think it applies to brilliant young progressives?

Fairly serious lie by omission here where they kinda gloss over the part where a race science nut leaked this to them because he thought it would hurt Mamdani.
SSA sent an email to all Social Security recipients touting the wonders of the Bullshit Billionaires Bounty Bill. Lies to propagandize murder a thievery. Don’t fall for it!
My LGBTQ friends knew I wasn't going to miss the most bigoted decision from this court. In case you missed it, Sam Alito's opinion in the "bigots are afriad of picture books" case is one of the most homophobic screeds ever from the SCOTUS.

Follow him!!!!!
Mamdani: "I asked Dems, who did you vote for any why? I heard from them again and again -- 'I voted for Trump bc I could afford things that are now out of my reach.' Ultimately when I asked them what it would take to bring them back to the D Party, they said a relentless focus on an economic agenda"

I actually love this idea. I wish we could implement it.
We aren’t United anyway, so what does it hurt?
Didn’t she mean, “The fact is, rich people need to have multiple somewheres to live”? Why does this article identify affordable housing advocates as “skeptics”?
San Francisco DA Brooke Jenkins is collaborating with ICE. She uses a federal program called All Hands On Deck to make an end-run around our sanctuary status and passes low-level offenders to ICE. This is an EMERGENCY - call your Supervisor and demand a hearing! buff.ly/gf6X2AQ #SFPol #BrookeJenkins
Not according to Drumph. He says he can bing him back. www.reuters.com/world/us/ask...
Nvm what he’s telling the District Cout. He’s admitted he can bring everyone back. www.reuters.com/world/us/ask...
My latest piece @thenation.com is called "This Passover, We Must Examine the Indecent Betrayal By Our Own". I'm just livid over the betrayal of Passover's values by Trumpist Jews; values like opposing subjugation; appreciating freedom, and questioning your elders. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

Thanks @qasimrashid.com and @deanpreston.bsky.social. You are both leaders I will follow! Keep giving us action items!
My latest piece @thenation.com breaks down why it is **disgraceful** for this LA Dodgers' team to visit Trump's White House next week. www.thenation.com/article/soci...
Quick reminder: Le Pen wasn't found guilty because the French courts hate democracy. She was found guilty because she broke the fucking law.

You have to see this.
PoliticsGirl and her husband teamed up with the brilliant Timothy Snyder (author of On Tyranny) and the legendary John Lithgow to create something truly powerful. It’s important, it’s urgent—and it needs to be shared far and wide.
Proof of an unconstitutional act. Going to war without congressional approval.
