So many of us maybe feeling like today is not the day to watch this video but I highly say the opposite. This is the day to watch it.

The big ugly bill is worse for families & worse for our economy. It’s not just Democrats who know this—Republicans are starting to admit it too. Turn up the pressure. Tell your senators to say NO to this cruel bill.

I just put up an amendment to the Republicans' Big, Ugly Bill that says something simple: If people's healthcare costs go up, the billionaire tax cuts vanish. The Republicans tried to shout me down. And then they voted it down. The American people will not forget.

While Trump wastes millions on a military parade in DC, we're mobilizing everywhere else to show that organized people power is stronger than his authoritarian aspirations. app.sosha.ai/s/8Iq0V4MG

Republicans can try, but they can’t lie their way out of this one.

It’s June — that means No Kings Day is almost here. Trump is ignoring the courts and the Constitution, so we’re gathering again on June 14 to remind him there are NO KINGS in our country. Check out our map of No Kings Day events and everything else you need to know: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

Three weeks from right now, we will be taking to the streets across the country on No Kings Day. Over 1,000 events are planned in response to Trump’s $100 million birthday parade in DC. We hope you will join us on June 14: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

While Trump wastes tens of millions of taxpayer dollars on his birthday parade in DC, we’re taking to the streets everywhere else on June 14 for a nationwide day of defiance. Please join us at a No Kings Day event near you: nokings.org/?SQF_SOURCE=indivisible

A month from right now, we will be taking to the streets on No Kings Day. While Trump wastes tens of millions of dollars on a military parade, we’re standing together again on June 14 to remind him and all our fellow Americans that we don’t do kings in this country: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

Boston...lots of people.

Boston...lots of people.

Proud of my community. Pretty good turnout for a Trans Day of Visibility rally on a cold Monday. Glad I could support family and friends. Parker says, "Sunshine, yes. Oligarchy, no."

Honored to share my essay about Robert Pinsky's "Forgiveness" in today's @poetrydaily.bsky.social <3

a new poem up at Pine Row Press... www.pinerow.com/spring-2025-...

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.

Next Wednesday I will be in Chicago in conversation with Sasha-Ann Simons. Tickets include a copy of the Portable Feminist Reader. If you use the code FRIEND, it’s a two-for-one deal! athenaeumcenter.org/events/2025/...

Liz Cheney: “Today, Donald Trump and JD Vance attacked Zelensky and pressured him to surrender the freedom of his people to the KGB war criminal who invaded Ukraine. History will remember this day—when an American President and Vice President abandoned all we stand for.”
