“You have to stop listening in categories. The music is either good or it's bad.” — Duke Ellington

“All we have to fear, is fear itself” “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall” “What the hell is a corner store?” Great Presidential quotes of our time

Rep Justin Jones made a statement entrance, walking into the Tennessee legislature with an"Abolish ICE" flag. No subtlety. No backing down.🔥🔥

If the Mayor of NYC can fulfill this promise, can you imagine what our state representatives and senators can accomplish, if we only had a functioning congress?

#ProudBlue #ResistanceUnited #Pinks Good morning, friends! Wow! I guess I retired too soon! We had plain old scrubs instead of these flashy robes! Can’t wait to see the next season of The Pitt. 😂😂

Xavier Becerra.

I’m voting for Xavier Becerra in the primary. www.xavierbecerra2026.com

Becerra. Becerra. Becerra. Becerra. Becerra. #DoTheRightThing

Xavier Becerra addresses single-payer healthcare in California in a way I can appreciate. He talks about the logistics of making it happen. He says it won’t be easy, but it can be done. I respect that. Too many politicians make it sound easy, then drop it once they’re elected. Becerra gets it.

Promises won't close Rikers Island. Action will. We're announcing the opening of NYC’s first Outposted Therapeutic Housing Unit at Bellevue Hospital for people in custody with complex medical needs, including critically vulnerable Rikers Island detainees. The journey to close Rikers has begun.

This is NOT open for debate. Remember our Oath!

A whole civilisation died yesterday, it wasn’t the Iranians 🇺🇸💀

T.A.C.O. hopes with the attack and threats on Iran will divert attention from the Epstein files and IT’s failures, war crimes and abysmal poll numbers. I wish we could send IT to the moon!!! 🌖

So Trump’s exit strategy to get out of the war was to threaten war crimes then promise not to do the war crimes and leave while declaring victory.

The warnings are getting louder about Trump trying to take over voting at the national level. Are we paying attention? Sen Mark Warner, vice chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, is sounding the alarm, and he’s not guessing. That committee sees things the public can’t.

Jeffries calls for Mike Johnson to immediately reconvene the House to take up a war powers resolution

“If tyranny becomes law, resistance becomes duty.” -Thomas Jefferson #NoKings

No Kings.

The day will come when we are finally done with this malignant madman. May it come soon as his wanton destruction is accelerating.

“I’m showing up to the NO KINGS Rally because I still believe this country belongs to its people — not to power-hungry men who think they should rule without limits.” ~ Bette Midler

Trump’s Iran war has dragged on for four weeks, and the military is firing an average of 16 Tomahawks a day. One official told the Post the number of the missiles left in the region is “alarmingly low.” trib.al/lkGyL9E

Please join me in honoring the fearless legacy of John Lewis on what would have been his 86th birthday.🙏🕊🌹✨ Good Trouble starts at the BALLOT BOX. 🗳💙 🇺🇸 #JohnLewis #Birthday #RIP #GoodTrouble

HAPPY LUNAR NEW YEAR🎉 Galloping into the Year of the Fire Horse shining in red, the color of luck, joy, and prosperity. The last time we saw a Fire Horse was 1966. It represents a rare, high-octane energy that only comes around once in a couple of generations.✨🐴

Happy Random Acts of Kindness Day💜 “I wish for you is that you continue. Continue to be who and how you are, to astonish a mean world with your acts of kindness.” ~ Maya Angelou

Here is Alex Pretti, helping wounded veterans learn to walk again. Trump and his goons murdered Alex and called him a domestic terrorist.

1) american century of humiliation 2) lmfao 3) literally no reason for any head of state to believe that the ailing geriatric pedophile mad king of the western hemisphere will not leak your most confidential cables to him on his shitty website 4) heads of state use signal to communicate 5) lmfao

"We as a nation must undergo a radical revolution of values. We must rapidly begin the shift from a “thing‐oriented” society to a “person‐oriented” society." ~ Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Today we honor Dr. King by continuing his fight for true justice and equality. 🌍🙏💜

Whoever brokered this should get the Nobel Peace Prize tomorrow.

DHS caught lying again 🤥

This is state terror. Period. There's no reason for hunter-killer UAVs of this size in a U.S. city. If they needed to view a specific event, smaller, even commercial, drones would suffice. This is sending a message.

Tribes have been here longer than any of us, they are quite literally the opposite of immigrants.

In 1943!!! “Nobel Literature laureate Knut Hamsun famously gave his Nobel medal and diploma to Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels as a gesture of admiration for the Nazi regime, following his support for the occupation….”

She supports him. It is what her actions will always look like to anyone looking. That is now her legacy. She supports his fascism, his bullying, his wanton disregard for laws or human rights, and his pedophilia. Her legacy in a Trump swag bag.

He was no George de Hevesy!🙄

Hamsum’s award was for literature. That makes a bit of a difference… but he sullied his place in history by being a NAZI sympathizer during the time of the Third Reich.

Before the celebrations on November 4, there were hours of anxious waiting as we watched the numbers come in. Here's a glimpse of the stress and joy alike. Thank you to every New Yorker who believed in this fight for working people. I am so proud to be sworn in as your Mayor. youtu.be/s_hR4A1_sew

Please let the Democrats running in 2026 and 2028 be paying close attention. Mamdani is doing exactly what the people want in both action and spirit. We don't want milquetoast and strongly worded letters. We want audacity, courage, and making bold progressive steps into a just future.

"To live in hearts we leave behind is not to die." ~ Thomas Campbell. "Happy New Year in Heaven to all of our dear departed loved ones and ancestors. Your love still guides us and you're always in our hearts. Wishing you peace and eternal joy, knowing your beauty and kindness live on forever.🙏✨🌹

Despite what we are often told, this line from Mamdani’s inauguration speech is what true pragmatism actually looks like: “Beginning today, we will govern expansively and audaciously. We may not always succeed. But never will we be accused of lacking the courage to try.”

Off to a good start
