In a perfect world, the decision to drag our country into war with the world's leading state sponsor of terrorism isn’t made by a draft dodging former reality tv gameshow host “president” and his day drinking former weekend tv “news” host Secretary of Defense.

fact check.

We’re closing in on the 3.5% rule! 8.6 million and counting! We’re in awe. Lots of events still happening make sure to be counted. Big towns, small towns you showed up.

The revolution is full of 60-year-old women who love their trans kids.

Just like in the parks, safety comes first. - Stay with your group - Follow the signs (or in this case, the facts) - Leave no one behind - Document everything - Don’t engage alone

Fixed it.

No Kings Day in Denver #Maddow #50501

Incredibly relieved to see confirmation that Kilmar is alive. Now we need to bring him home.

I don't think people realize that in important respects tariffs are now higher & more inflationary than what was announced on last Wednesday. Since then we've gone from 54% to 125% on China, our 3rd largest trading partner. That outweighs delaying the increases on 70+ others.

Good morning. Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors. It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.

Thank you, @maddow.msnbc.com for tonight’s inspiring and heartfelt coverage of the Hands Off protests. 24 minutes in a jam-packed A-block made me feel sane again after so little real, story-based coverage all weekend 🙌 (and I loved the song!)

What a day. What a country! 💪

The only minority destroying America is the billionaires. Here’s a path to becoming more effective messengers when the facts are SO crystal clear:

I’m proud of #Denver and all the ways we uphold and live our values — we work tirelessly to keep Denver a safe and welcoming city. Today, Congressional Republicans will throw shade instead of seeking solutions. Make Denver proud, Mayor Johnston! ❤️✊🏽

OH dear Zelensky and the whole world please understand: I AM DEEPLY, PROFOUNDLY HUMILIATED BY TRUMP AND VANCE. WHO TF DO THEY THINK THEY ARE AND HOW ARE THEY ALLOWED TO BEHAVE LIKE THIS?! These idiots do not speak for me.

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court GRANTS sweeping nationwide injunction against Trump DEI executive orders finding that they violate First and Fifth Amendments to the Constitution. A huge victory for @democracyforward.org and its clients. A stinging loss for Trump. Visit www.democracydocket.com for details.

📰 💲 Fun Fact: Did you know that Indivisible groups can purchase subscriptions to media outlets using funds through our distributed fundraising program? We're a pro-democracy movement. Our democracy needs independent media and good journalism. #Indivisibles: More info threaded...🧵

f+elon has locked the doors of the department of education and there are armed guards keeping elected officials from entry. Where does the line get drawn by Republicans? When do they grow spines and take back the reigns of reasoned governing?

THANK YOU everyone showing up in all the ways! And THANK YOU @maddow.msnbc.com for tonight’s A-Block about the awakening resistance on ALL the levels (starting with tons of #50501 protests) tonight 🙌 So energizing knowing our calls and actions of protest ARE being heard.

🚨 We’re in it now. Act accordingly. Trump’s power grab is happening right now—& the response must be immediate. Call. Post. Organize. Stop playing by the old rules. 📢 Action starts with YOU. 🔁 Spread this. Fight back. Persist. #StopTheCoup #DefendDemocracy

Keep an eye on this graph over the next few days or so (zacklabe.com/arctic-tempe...). An extreme #Arctic winter warming event is occurring bringing a narrow band of near freezing air temperatures close to the North Pole (associated with poleward movement of excessive heat and moisture).

I had the sweetest dream last night. I was driving on the LIE and there was Donald Trump in a red jumpsuit, picking up trash beside the highway.

But liberals are snowflakes. Mhmm. Also let’s not call it anti-DEI. It is decidedly *pro-segregation.* We need to stop playing defense on wanting human rights and dignity for everyone. MAKE THEM DEFEND THEIR HEINOUS BEHAVIOR.

Shut down the Senate: indivisible.org/resource/cal...

@maddow.msnbc.com Excellent show tonight. I’m sorry you had to come back every day… but we sure do appreciate your intellect, deep dives and perspective right now.

Thank you @chrislhayes.bsky.social for asking “will people call and demand their congress-people stand up to this?” with this on the screen 🙏 #federalfundingfreeze

We need Dems to use every procedural maneuver to grind things to stop and every media tool to raise alarm and allow public pressure to build. Shut it the fuck down. A democracy if we can keep it. This is where we try to keep it. Capitol switchboard: (202) 224-3121.

Not to be alarmist, but this is the most radical presidential action I've ever seen. He's straight up seizing Congress' budget power. What do laws matter if the mad king's whims dictate what gets enforced and where money goes? It's not a policy memo - it's a revolution. Don't let it be a quiet one.

Cognitive dissonance is looking for logic in jd saying he wants “more babies in the US”WHILE his administration actively works to make alive humans less alive CDC NIH WHO FEMA NASA NOAA Climate Science Gun Prevention Reproductive Services Education Infrastructure These are *WHY* gov’t exists

This is what we should do… and then bitcoin companies, ai companies, republican politicians who have blocked climate policy, etc. #dontlookup

In 2023, Armia Khalil, a security guard at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, saw a visitor wandering through a gallery, clearly looking for something specific. The encounter was brief — five minutes, maybe less — but it changed Khalil’s life… nyti.ms/3Wcevnr

Sending love to everyone in LA 💙 +Kudos to Watch Duty on their incredible work supporting those affected by the devastating LA fires.

If you’ve been wondering how the insurance industry might handle housing in the new climate and how on earth (literally) we will house people, I cannot recommend this highly readable book enough.

For the love of whatever you hold as holy please: If something looks sensational, please stop and think (maybe try a little fact checking) before sharing MISINFORMATION. The burning Hollywood sign photos are FAKE. (Also jfc are we doomed)

Ok. We can’t all just stare at these fires and pretend that we aren’t a part of why they are happening. I’m ready to make changes. Help me brainstorm. Tell me how YOU going to change something about the way you treat our earth? For me, fewer flights, no Amazon orders, way less red meat. Your turn…

I’m gonna need “thoughts and prayers” after climate disasters to convert to ACTION soon. LIKE… NOW. We all have a limited collective carbon budget before all tipping points are surpassed. If we change nothing about our behavior, there will be no place left to build an insurable home.

Los Angeles friends, if you don’t already have the Watch Duty app, you can sign up for alerts, get updates on pre-evac zones and shelters. (I learned about this as a Coloradan & it’s SO helpful)

I guess I should post here bc I’d sure like to use this app instead of the zuck ones. Here’s some snow. As it fell this morning in Denver. It was my happy thing today. Gotta look for the glimmers.

"Not what we have but what we enjoy constitutes our abundance." - John Petit-Senn

The sunset was crazy as I wrapped up a portrait session in Denver tonight. Stopping to appreciate the light is my version of stopping to smell the roses.

Last year, when I was at MSNBC, I did a 10-minute deep-dive into RFK Jr's anti-vaxxer role in the measles outbreak that killed dozens and dozens of kids in Samoa. I hope every Senator voting in his confirmation process for HHS knows about this crucial and awful story:

Republicans hate me because I fight, I don’t back down, I won’t obey.

This… is NOT a mandate. Democrats: gather, recharge, FIGHT. PUSH your reps to fight, SUPPORT them when they do.

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism. We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive

Disappointed in our governor? We sure are! Let him know what you think: www.colorado.gov/governor/sha...

Let me say something that is controversial because our brains are broken: Vaccines are a miracle and amazing

BREAKING NEW: Food and Drug Administration to be headed by the Late, Great, Hannibal Lecter.

Two men just walked by me on the river trail and the only snippet of conversation I heard was, “…but you know what’s even more important? Democracy. So you can vote back in the people who…” and then I couldn’t hear any more… Made me wonder how many people are just starting to realize this.
