Donald Trump, Jr.'s VC firm invested in a startup that produces rare-earth magnets for military equipment. Months later, the Pentagon awarded the company a $620M loan. Remember that Don Jr. also has a stake in a drone company that recently received defense contracts. Coincidence? Or corruption?

@sanders.senate.gov: "No, Speaker Johnson, the #NoKings Rally on October 18th is not a 'hate America' rally. ... It’s a rally of millions of people who believe in American freedom and are not going to allow you and President Trump to turn us into an authoritarian country."

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...

Happy Nobel Peace Prize day to all who celebrate! 🕊️ In a brilliant and well deserved move, an (1) antifa (2) Latina (3) woman, María Corina Machado, wins for her work promoting democratic rights in Venezuela.

By contrast, JB Pritzker told me that people should flood the No Kings protests precisely in order to let the American people know that something is deeply amiss. More Dems should be doing this, to send the message widely that we are in real trouble right now. newrepublic.com/article/2016...

Peace and democracy are a movement. 🕊️

'When authoritarians seize power, it is crucial to recognize courageous defenders of freedom who rise and resist,' the Norwegian Nobel Committee said as it announced Maria Corina Machado as the winner of the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize

So deserving. Congratulations to an incredible thinkpeace "girl"-- she doesn't just think peace, she creates it and shares it. 🕊️ #thinkit.createit.shareit #nobelpeaceprize

It’s ok to change your mind when you realize you were wrong.

Making crêpes and thinking of my thinkpeace girls around the world on Bastille Day! Vive la Resistance!?

We know it can feel impossible to muster up optimism in a moment like this, but there are small things we can all do. It's important to protect yourself, your art, your peace, and your community. We've rounded up some words of encouragement and reminders that hope is not lost. ⤵️

The suicide prevention and crisis intervention organization for LGBTQ+ young people saw a 33% increase in call volume to its crisis services on Trump's Inauguration Day. Read more: www.teenvogue.com/story/how-tr...

I have a feeling someone may need this today. This is a time that will try all our souls. We must let our friends & family know we see them, we value them & we will stand up to protect everyone’s right to be themselves.

Take a deep breath. Look around. Find one thing you can do to help someone else. Do it. Take another deep breath.

Dr. King's dream calls us to action not just to reflect but to build a roadmap for peace rooted in courage, compassion, and understanding. Together, we can chart a path toward lasting harmony. Imagine. #MLKDay #RoadmapToPeace #BeTheChange

MAGA’s Project 2025 falsely claims climate policy is “economy-killing” & that diversity objectives are “irrelevant”. The U.S. already has faced 23 major climate disasters since Jan. 2023, costing billions. GOP's oil & gas industry donors don't care. https://bit.ly/4eu49Wc

It’s crazy-making that Joe Scarborough said of Bezos: “Anticipatory kowtowing to a guy saying he is going to be an autocrat is the first step” Then took the step himself 🙃 As @oliverdarcy.bsky.social says: “they wonder why trust in the mainstream press is so low” www.status.news/p/morning-jo...

Let's talk about what we're feeling. And then let's do something about it. Ok?💛

We are a new unsettling force and we are powerful. 🎶

Don't obey in advance or at all.

Project 2025 would abandon reducing greenhouse gas emissions, repeal emissions-reducing regulations & eliminate the EPA & Nat'l Oceanic & Atmospheric Admin. Save our children's future home! Speak out! https://bit.ly/40MKkpZ

Now more than ever, be the change you want to see in the world.

Hey thinkpeace! This is what we're all about- are you ready for the fight? Think it. Create it. Share it. #whatmatters
