I held the first Impeach Nixon Rally west of the Rockies in Yorba Linda, California at the park that is now the Nixon Library. I was called an outside agitator, even though I literally lived a few blocks off Yorba Linda Blvd at our longtime family home.

On this date, Matthew Shephard died 27 years ago. He was beaten, tortured, and left for dead on fence for being gay. Please keep him and his wonderful mother Judy in your thoughts. And let's all work for a world where such horrific things do not happen to anyone. ❤️🏳️‍🌈

federal agents stealing children and sending them south. where have i heard about that before?

No institutional design can overcome a lawbreaking president, a Congress defending lawbreaking and forfeiting its own power, a Supreme Court that pretends legal text doesn’t count to facilitate lawbreaking, and a citizenry that votes for all that. Need at least one that wants rule of law. Maybe two.

They kissed. The world blinked. Somewhere, a closet lost its grip. Be yourself—even if it rattles someone’s comfort. Especially then. Truth doesn’t ask permission. Be yourself. No edits. No apologies. #LGBTQ+ 🏳️‍⚧️ 🌈 🏳️‍🌈

Methinks that more male opinion writers posting on social media need the skin-toughening experience of a woman leading a truth-telling newsroom (including real racism history) in Mississippi and writing columns challenging power and systems and naming names in my home state for 23 years. Periodt.

“I spent three nights and three days in federal custody. During that time, I was never told what I was charged with, was not allowed to shower despite being covered in tear gas and pepper spray, had no phone call to my family, and no access to an attorney.” - George Retes, U.S. citizen and veteran.

Can’t believe the guy whose love language is hate speech didn’t win the Nobel Peace Prize

This senile liar who currently occupies the White House does not remember that he was President on January 6th. If you voted for this senile liar, and if you enable him today, you clearly are ok with breaking America. The ruins of our once great nation are because of you.

Next Saturday is #NoKings Day. Stand up for democracy before it's too late. Find a protest near you at nokings.org.

So a song used to fight German Nazis has been co-opted by American Nazis.

Remember self-care. Sprinkle some joy in with the doom scrollin' and whatnot. I love you and there's absolutely nothin' you can do about it.

Its just wild to me to hear a Ramones song in a commercial for a major pharmaceutical company...

Some weirdo on Twitter has been absolutely melting down for like 36 straight hours because I posted: When this is over, do not forget what ICE did, and what ICE is. And do not make room for them in society. Make sure they know that they are, and will continue to be, reviled and beneath contempt.

Hey, you idiotic propagandists at the New York Post: God Bless America isn't the national anthem. It's a SHOW TUNE written by Irving Berlin.

"Don’t be so hard on yourself. Be perfectly okay with being who YOU are. Fully embrace yourself, flaws and all. Love yourself right where you are. Strive to do better, but don’t beat yourself up for every shortcoming that you may have. /1

The mainstream media loves making it seam like dysfunction in Washington is coming from both parties. Hello? Much of the GOP no longer accepts the rule of law, or the norms of democracy, or the legitimacy of the opposing party. Enough of the false equivalence.

Children that were kidnapped by invading Russian barbarians, not displaced.

This is a good response from MIT. They are staying true to their mission and refusing to sign Trump's loyalty pledge. links.mit.edu/nl3/N5Jy2cKq...

The widespread media decision to frame international affairs as "will Donnie get the prize he wants?" is pathetic. He's not the protagonist of human events. And to the extent he's a significant character in world affairs, whether or not he gets a prize is one of the least important things about it.

When Turning Point says it wants its own "Christian" halftime show, they mean "white"

Our nation's federal employees are more than just numbers on a spreadsheet. They make sure we have clean water. They protect us from financial fraud. They provide healthcare to our communities. They make our government actually work for people. Do not forget this.

One thing we've learned from the American judicial system: The first 34 felonies are on the house*. *Terms and conditions may apply. See prosecutors for details if you're not white. Or rich.

Here are these White guys so hysterically jealous and outraged about a Black man in the White Man’s House that they are still reeling from the injury to their rabidly racist sensibilities NINE YEARS after he left. They may never recover. Good. White supremacy is really a White inferiority complex.

BARTIROMO: On your point about the Nobel Peace Prize, do you think maybe the reason Trump won't get it is because you had to get the application in before Jan. 31, and that was only 11 days into his term? SCALISE: Look, they can play technicalities. They gave it to Obama for just getting elected.

Cartoon: Parroting the parrot

You can steal an election but you can't steal a Nobel Peace Prize.

Also, fuck their cheating asses. "Woe is me I didn't do my homework, time to turn to the cheating machine." They didn't learn whatever lesson the teacher was teaching, or the lesson about what happens when you're held accountable for your own actions. Zero pity.

Things are happening at Portland's ICE facility tonight. Read more of our protest coverage here: www.oregonlive.com/crime/2025/1...

Reporting live from Chicago, there’s no “hellscape” I’d rather be in.

I agree with the 76% of Americans with common sense who believe trump does NOT deserve the Nobel Peace Prize. How about YOU? 🤚

BREAKING: For her work promoting democratic rights for the people of Venezuela, María Corina Machado wins the Nobel Peace Prize.

Congratulations to Maria Corina Machado, recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize - her incredible optimism has already changed her country. I spoke to her, and wrote about her, at the beginning of this year: www.theatlantic.com/internationa...

This this this. Especially knowing right wingers consider it a “win” when they encourage Black boys down the pipeline.

The DOJ is currently arguing in court that the president can deliberately provoke unrest and incite chaos in a city and then can use that turmoil as justification for deploying the National Guard.

“The Founders would never believe that it would ever come to pass that one state militia could be sent to another state for the purposes of political retribution” THAT PART! Thank you, Judge Perry.

All to cover up the Epstein files.
