Be a Dawn, not a Geno.

Trump chose this war and now he wants help. Why would NATO help protect the Strait of Hormuz after Trump did not consult with NATO before he launched this illegal war in Iran? Trump was recently threatening to attack Greenland, part of NATO. Mr. “I don’t need allies” now wants them.

Also, my father’s final words to me were to continue to fight the good fight. He would be honored in Alex’s sacrifice, and ashamed of this current administration. In my dad’s words, I encourage you all to continue to “fight the good fight.”

"LEAVE GREENLAND ALONE!" Heckler shouts during U.S. anthem at London NBA game — crowd erupts in cheers

I'd much prefer to be flying flags of rainbows, kittens, and flowers.

Yesterday my book on Howard Zinn, "The People's Historian", out 8/26, was made available for preorder from the publisher's website. Preorders often determine how much stores `get behind a book so if ya like my work, or dig on Zinn, please consider an early buy. penguinrandomhouse.com/books/724993...

AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

Not that it matters, but Trump is actually the only president to have bipartisan votes to impeach in the House and bipartisan votes to convict in the Senate. What actually matters is the president is pressuring the government to rewrite history for him, which is fundamentally fascistic.

Even if you assume the legitimacy of ICE operations, the idea that a fucking truck-mounted machine gun is necessary to carry them out is insane. This is about intimidation. This is them letting us know that the streets of the United States have been militarized.

While Republicans celebrate the passage of the largest Medicaid cut in history, the Curtis Medical Center in Nebraska announced it will shut down as a result of these horrific cuts — the first of many hospitals to close. This is a dark day for rural America and for our country.

The past is not just prologue.

If a sitting president can openly muse about arresting and disappearing someone who is likely to become mayor of the country's largest city, while also getting the funding for a massive secret police, it'd be hard to find sufficient evidence to qualify that country as a democracy.

It’s every parent’s nightmare, isn’t it? you check your child’s bulletproof backpack and find a picture book about gay penguins

Northampton MA

Will the 53 Republican Senators speak out against this brutality?

Hazel Scott...wow. How in the world... I enjoyed the American Masters Doc on PBS.

Loved this book :)

Good to be among the sequoias for some perspective.

Today’s flag…

I'm calling for an investigation into whether President Trump manipulated the market to benefit his Wall Street donors—all while working people and small businesses paid the price. Did Trump help insiders cash in on his tariff flip-flopping? It sure looks like corruption.

A Tufts international student getting her PHD, Rumeysa Ozturk, was pulled off the streets of Somerville, Mass by masked ICE agents for a ***student newspaper*** oped last year. Her lawyer has no idea now where she is. Another thought crime arrest. Another obscenity. www.wgbh.org/news/local/2...

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back. This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008. Also bigger than the 2024 DNC. And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

The NCAA had nothing to do with the start of women's sport history in the US. If anything it worked at every turn, for decades, to discourage and even eliminate opportunities for women's competitive athletics. If you want to know more about women's athletic leadership - check out the AIAW!

Northampton Resists! protest this morning. About 1,000 people. Not bad for a city of 30,000.

Sunday morning acoustic sounds that soothe.

In the depths of the Nebraskan winter, 2400 people came out to listen to Bernie Sanders in Omaha last night. 800 had to be turned away at the door. Over 190,000 tuned into the livestream. There is a movement to be harnessed here. @sanders.senate.gov (📸 Anna Bahr)

Susan Collins are you watching...this is resistance.

Earl Woods 1997: Someday they will compare my son to Gandhi! Tiger Woods 2025: I support the guy banning books about Gandhi! Earl Woods 1997: My son will mature into someone who uses his platform to bring together the world. Tiger Woods 2025: I support the guy who wants to wage war on Canada.

Egg prices are up and bird flu is spreading rapidly. DOGE's response? Fire the thousands of USDA employees who were working on the government's response to bird flu. Make sure you thank Elon Musk and Trump next time you go to the grocery store and see $10 eggs.

This one’s for Martina Navratilova and all the “LGB” folks who thought throwing Trans people to the wolves would save themselves. Not just morally bankrupt but “never read a history book” stupid.

I'll be in Iowa City at the end of this week, doing a talk and book signing, and taking in the Iowa-UCLA game. Looking forward to it! If you know anyone in the area, please spread the word. #shatteringtheglass

Sh*t show...2.0.

I was hoping to get coffee and maybe a donut at this morning's gathering with my congressman, Jim McGovern in Northampton MA. No coffee, no donuts - but something far better: over 1,000 folks turned out. This is what resistance looks like.

I'm sad to share that the trans vet that took her life outside the VA last week was apparently Elisa Rae Shupe. She's someone many of us know - she was responsible for the mass email leak that let us know how the ADF, Heritage, etc planned to enact trans eradication we see today. RIP Elisa.

Let's see who can come up with the best caption...

Done for night. Solidarity is a muscle. Please keep clanging and banging tomorrow. And let’s come together in the spirit of “if we don’t, we’re fucked.”

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

“It’s an emergency. Let’s meet in 19 hours. There will be coffee, danish, and Mark Warner will share his tuna melt recipe.” What is the downside to actually speaking to people’s rage and fear and showing some goddam spine?

“Bills mafia” has been terrific about raising money for foundations and people in need. I’m sure immigrant legal services could use a shot in the arm. It would at least be a way to not be total tools.

can't = won't, but yes

SHARE WIDELY. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights. You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one. (1/3)
