Truth bomb‼️

This man should be the one speaking on college campuses…

β€œThey’re planning for us to turn on each other and make this culture war a civil war. I am begging you, please, for the love of God, for the love of our neighbors… do not take the bait.”

As a bookish kid, I admired the Supreme Court for having the character to unanimously come out against segregation in the 1950s, when no other branch of our government would have had that courage.

So it saddens me to see it lose its way and endorse judging people for the color of their skin today.

Ossoff on RFK Jr: "Absolutely he should resign. And he never should've been confirmed to begin with... in any normal Senate, he never would've gotten so much as a hearing. This is someone who throughout his public life has embraced just about every piece of quackery & pseudoscience he's come across"

We want to apologize if it feels like we’ve been venting a lot lately. It’s just hard to ignore that nearly every move from this administration seems to be illegal, unlawful, or outright unconstitutional and yet nothing happens.

JB Pritzker And The Void Of Federal Leadership Here's a template for Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer.

The question for Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer in some sense is: What do you think and feel when you watch Pritzker’s remarks? Are you inspired, like millions of Democratic Party voters? Or do you think he’s a fool for not pivoting to tariffs? www.offmessage.net/p/jb-pritzke...

If anyone in or out of government wants to chat securely as the unraveling unfolds, I’m vermontgmg.14 on Signal. That’s my normal username, everywhere, with an extra Vermont: the 14th state.

The year I was born. we basically had no idea why cancers happened and now we understand the underlying force behind it with 100% clarity and the molecular forces behind it with many orders of magnitude more resolution.

We were entirely in the dark, and now the room is lit.

Friend, with all due respect, this assumes a good faith process on the part of the DOJ. May I ask if the past seven months have illustrated anything resembling a good faith process to you?

I'm not interested in what notorious liar Ghislaine Maxwell has to say. I'm interested in evidence of what she did.

Release the Epstein Files. Stop Donald's coverup.

A heat index of 102+ didn’t deter nearly 1K people from showing up in South Elgin, IL for a #WeCanLeadChange emergency pop-up #StopTheTrumpTakeover rally with @foxvalleyrising.bsky.social & many more. TOGETHER, we are strong! Hydrate, friends!

Remember: If we allow ourselves to fall into fatalism, or wallow in disappointment, or become resigned to what is rather than what should be, we will lose the long game.

The greatest enemy of positive social change is cynicism about what can be changed.

Ghislaine Maxwell has been barred from participating in service dog training while in prison because of her crimes.

I feel like if prison officials don't trust you around dogs, you shouldn't be eligible for a pardon under any circumstances.
