I can’t say I have heard an actual Charlie Kirk speech or debate but one thing is clear- he embraced freedom of speech and healthy debate. Those talking about punishing anyone who criticizes him are traitors to the first amendment, a bedrock of our freedom. Censorship is the opposite of patriotism.

People from all over are showing up for DC. This is not a moment. It’s a movement. We are united in our demands. We are all DC! #FreeDC

Though it may not always seem this way—given the Trump regime’s daily desecration of the Constitution—the rule of law still reigns supreme. The dismantling of this concentration camp is a win for democracy, for the environment, and for all communities cruelly and unjustly targeted by this regime.

My Bluesky handle now says “invalid handle” is that what others see?

Ordinarily, this would be a national scandal. Today it’s just another shameful headline embodying the erosion of the rule of law in the US. FEMA Suspends Staff Who Signed a Letter Criticizing Trump www.nytimes.com/2025/08/26/c...

Wow- it’s crazy that so many people are already codependent on ChatGPT that efforts to reduce its “sycophancy” were met with protest and not surprisingly OpenAI caved and gave consumers what they want. I am fascinated and scared by what’s to come. #chatGPT www.nytimes.com/2025/08/19/b...

Breaking News: A federal judge ordered that “Alligator Alcatraz,” a Florida immigration detention center, be shut down, at least temporarily, within 60 days.

Such a good conversation and I’m only about 10 minutes in. Key theme- the internet/social media (not just Trump) has broken our national story- a fundamental ingredient of a healthy democracy. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/o...

Calling all California and New York homeowners who appreciate NPR and are mad and worried about the $1.1B cut Congress just made! Don’t just sit there feeling powerless: instead donate some of that tax windfall you may be getting and didn’t ask for - the SALT. www.npr.org/donations/su...

Raskin: We even have the right to call the president deranged for crashing our economy, destroying $6 trillion of wealth and turning our 401(k) Into a 201 (K). And the press has the right to call the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of Mexico.

Oh wow: Portland Oregon is NOT KIDDING #handsoff

It’s time to stand up and defend our democracy America- if @corybooker.com could do it for 25 hours we can do it for at least a couple! If you haven’t found a protest near you tomorrow go here handsoff2025.com #50501

The cruelty of the Trump Administration never ceases to shock me. Or more like people’s tolerance of such cruelty. But maybe Trump supporters just aren’t seeing these stories. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/22/u...

More examples of the Administration’s mind blowing efforts to enrich the rich and undermine faith in government and institutions www.nytimes.com/2025/02/24/o...

Stand up, fight back, democracy dies in silence. Government for the people, not billionaires. People over profit, Stop the coup. #50501movememt

Hey Bay Area- Fed up yet with what Trump and Musk are doing? Join others at noon today and every Saturday @ the Tesla dealership in SF on VanNess #50501 #protest #nokings www.sfchronicle.com/sf/article/p...

The lead prosecutor in the Eric Adams case has resigned over DOJ's order that the case be dismissed. "I expect you will eventually find someone who will be enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion. But it was never going to be me." www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

This is an insightful piece that provides a frame for how to understand the noise and chaos strategy that Trump and Musk are employing. It urges us not to look away but instead to look “through it for what is being taken, redefined, reallocated.” We have to act.

Let this day be known as state Attorney General appreciation day!

Looking for details on protests this weekend in the bay area. We need to show the media and public that we are not going to accept Trump and Musk’s attacks on the US constitution, federal workers, immigrants, public education, and LGBTQ+ rights. #protest #vought #freespeech #defenddemocracy

#50501 #resist #notmypresident #defenddemocracy calling out all organizers! where are the protests this weekend? Most of us were at work yesterday but I know millions of us are ready to show up this weekend. It’s not enough to vent in this space, we need to be visible and on camera IRL.

My family loved the Wicked movie in real time and listening to the amazing soundtrack afterwards and analyzing it but this NYT discussion added even more depth to our convo. And if you haven’t seen the movie yet, you’re missing out ! www.nytimes.com/2024/11/29/o...
