🚨 Today in Portland, large groups peacefully gathered to unite against hate and oppression. 1/2

Trump’s prosecution of @newyorkstateag.bsky.social is a sham reminiscent of authoritarian regimes. No legitimate prosecutor would pursue this “case”-- so Trump installed a lackey to fulfill his desire for retribution. I will always stand with my friend Tish.

Amazing day here in Newark. We are registering new voters. Our second time here and there is much more interest in the election! The Dean wants us back next week! Come on by!

We’re here today @FDU Metropolitan campus with an Online Voter Registration drive. Come by the Student Union! Meeting with really well-mannered students! @njlcv.bsky.social

If you are concerned about your electricity bills, the next Governor can do a lot to ensure that we ratepayers don't bear the burden of the increase caused by data centers. bsky.app/profile/powe...

I was a skeptic about the import of the Epstein files. But 3 invasions of cities, one military buildup outside Venezuela, a government shutdown, and so many other things meant to distract have me convinced whatever’s in there is the biggest presidential scandal in U.S. history.

BOOM 🔥: Judge Immergut issues a second Temporary Restraining Order prohibiting the relocation, federalization, or deployment of ANY NATIONAL GUARD FROM ANY STATE into the state of Oregon.

As Yom Kippur begins at sundown, we send our heartfelt wishes to all who are observing. May this sacred day of atonement bring reflection, renewal, and peace. G’mar Chatimah Tova.

Pritzker: "People of Illinois, we need your help. Get our your cell phones, record and narrate what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know that this is happening and that we won't stand for it."

Had to do it! Anyone else thinking this or is it just me? 😂 Go, Elliott! #ET

Another reason to buy from IKEA. They also are the best at packaging and making sure your stuff doesn't arrive broken. Not so fast, Amazon.

i told my landlord they're releasing the amelia earhart files and he lowered my rent 50%. i told my grocer and he gave me a free nectarine. i told my doctor and he said i didn't have to pay for the visit. try it. you never know who out there has been waiting for this moment.

✔️ Going after political opponents.

As an independent voter in NJ — one of 2.4m registered Unaffiliated — the whole "Vote Blue/Vote Red" comments & nothing else said is disheartening. How about... "Vote for lower grocery prices?" "Vote for co-equal branches of power?" "Vote for no more mass shootings in schools?"

Good riddance to this awful man. The worst man for Oklahoma’s public schools.

I hope our @newjerseyoag.bsky.social AG Matt Platkin gets all his flowers. Such a great public servant and he should stay on as AG, IMHO.

We’re here at FDU registering voters and helping them with VBM and talking about the climate. Lots of great short conversations as they run to the dining hall!

Despite refusing to coordinate with the state or city, we’re monitoring the ongoing federal deployments that are instilling fear in our communities. Americans have a right to peaceful assembly and to make their voices heard. Even if the Trump admin won’t follow the law, we will.

Threatening to fire prosecutors because they won't bring baseless and politically motivated prosecutions is the definition of weaponizing the justice system. I proudly stand with @newyorkstateag.bsky.social newrepublic.com/article/2006...

David Letterman is right: you can't appease a tyrant.

STEWART: “Comedy doesn’t change the world, but it’s a bellwether— we’re the banana peel in the coal mine… authoritarians are the threat to comedy, music, art, thought… progress.” Nailed it.

I've never seen a Jimmy Kimmel show. I haven't had cable in over 7 years. But I did have Disney+ because Star Wars franchise, esp Andor, and Marvel Universe of movies. I usually buy stocks of things that I consume. All that stopped with the government censorship and cancellation of Jimmy Kimmel. 1/

What foreign corporations want to send their workers to the US now?

Another doctors’ group breaks with federal policy, recommends Covid vaccines for all adults - Reuters

Trump’s illegal National Guard deployment to DC is just a starting point. He’s said he wants to do further unlawful deployments to cities across the U.S. Proud to stand with my friend and colleague @dcattorneygeneral.bsky.social as he sues to stop this attempt to intimidate.

Got my Covid vaccine yesterday. Thanks, CVS. Thanks, New Jersey!

Pritzker: "When did we become a country where it's ok for the US president to insist on national television that a state should call him to beg for anything? Especially something we don't want. Have we truly lost all sense of sanity in this nation that we treat this as normal?"

The president is sending the military to control American cities and if you're a reporter who's framing that illegal power grab as "pushing the boundaries of constitutionality" or "acting boldly to fight crime" or whatever, please go find another line of work where you won't get us all killed.

Follow @markhertling.bsky.social if you don’t already. One of my favorite wise, experienced and clearheaded leaders.

I hope people realize how absolutely fucked this situation is. This isn’t normal. People are resigning all over the place because the government is mishandling our data, ruining our public health services, and generally making Americans less safe.

For nearly a decade, false claims about mailed-out ballots have been pushed. These lies are a strategy to sow doubt and weaken democratic participation. Read our ED’s op-ed dismantling myths:

School shootings are why I went into public service. Decades later, another school year begins with carnage. In NJ, we’ve cut gun violence to record lows. And yet, we continue to fight the gun lobby who thinks everyone has a right to own a weapon of war. Make it make sense.

Abbe Lowell and I represent CDC Director #SusanMonarez. Contrary to govt statements, Dr. Monarez has neither resigned nor yet been fired. She will not resign. We have issued the following statement:

The government labeled the Minneapolis shooter a "domestic terrorist." I have no problem with that. But you know who is a bigger domestic terrorist - RFK Jr. His evisceration of medical research and anti-vaccine policies will result in orders of magnitude more dead Americans, including children.

Jesus Christ. If your credit isn’t frozen at all three bureaus, I would strongly consider doing that now

My frustration with NJ leadership’s lack of political will to pass auto VBM despite overwhelming data showing how it increases voter participation, especially with the young voters… 👇 @govmurphy.bsky.social @njsenatedemocrats.bsky.social @njassemblydems.bsky.social

We should all support our citizen's rights to vote. I used VBM the first time while living abroad.
