My heart broke on October 7th. On Election Night, the broken pieces of my heart froze. And… I’m alive, and those of us who are alive have obligations. We have to find a way forward, somehow.

Anyone who does not see this as an explicit, targeted threat against public officials needs to rethink their priorities.

We cannot lose sight of how f*cked up it is that Donald Trump threatened members of another political party with death. Now these Members need around-the-clock security. People treated his words as a call for violence, not routine political talk.

93 years ago, Stalin instituted a man-made famine in Ukraine to break its resistance to Soviet occupation, killing millions. Now, Putin’s war and weaponization of hunger once again threaten Ukrainians' survival. We honor the victims of Stalin's famine by supporting Ukraine today.

These threats aren’t abstract. They are real. They’ve hurt the people I love. We all need to stand against this.

Today it was revealed that the Coast Guard would no longer classify swastikas and nooses as hate symbols. Unacceptable. I just met with Admiral Lunday, and got his committment to publish a new policy. Hate has no place in our armed services.

The Trump Admin will fire you for having a Pride flag on your desk but downplays & normalizes swastikas & nooses? Over 400,000 Americans died fighting Nazism. Hundreds of thousands died fighting slavery & Jim Crow. This is a slap in the face to every American who died to defeat bigoted ideologies.

The military service, which falls under the Department of Homeland Security, has drafted a new policy that classifies such items “potentially divisive.”

These are symbols of racism, anti-semitism, and violence. There's no spin that can deny that fact. The American people and those who proudly represent us in the Coast Guard’s uniform deserve far better. This decision should be reversed immediately.

Swastikas are a symbol of Nazis and violent antisemitism, and they should NEVER be tolerated in our country — much less by our military. This is absolutely horrific.

A Trump supporter started murdering his way through an assassination list of Democratic law makers FIVE MONTHS AGO. He murdered my colleague Melissa Hortman, and her husband Mark — and attempted to assassinate my dear friend John Hoffman and his wife Yvette. I was also on the hit list. WTF

Good. Dems not backing down in the slightest in the face of Trump's call for their execution. Keep this up, Dems. Treat Trump like *he's* the violent criminal and the real threat to our Constitution order. Because he is.

Political violence has no place in America. It’s disgusting that our President is calling for the death of elected officials, the same man who incited the January 6 attack. Donald Trump is the gravest threat to our country.

Important: House Dem leaders just said Trump's call for execution of Dems has prompted them to contact US Capitol Police and House Sergeant at Arms to "ensure the safety of these members and their families." Treat Trump like an unhinged menace. He's weak and in deep political trouble. Don't let up.

Let’s be clear: Trump changing his tune about releasing the Epstein Files isn’t about justice — it’s an admission that he and Republicans are going to lose this vote. I’ll be voting YES on legislation to release the files and give the American people transparency.

Article I of the Constitution gives Congress the power to levy taxes and tariffs -- not the President. There is finally a bipartisan movement to reclaim this authority and end the costly and chaotic tariff wars – and we cannot let it die in Speaker Johnson’s hands.

This is true, that said, I've watched this happen a lot, with BLM and Pride where key organizers or organizations have unleashed unhinged antisemitism and the 99% have just kinda stood by, and as a Jew you're left going "okay but is the person next to at this protest an antisemite?"

Sure enough, there had been some confusion. They were referring to a popular meme and having a bit of a joke. I had snarkily pushed back, not knowing the meme. Apologies were made, posts were deleted on both sides. I think "block and move on" is generally good policy but sometimes it's complicated.

Earlier, I read a post here that seemed to be attacking me and, somehow, all men(?). So I blocked and moved on. But then I thought, this is so weird that maybe either I or them might have gotten something wrong? Misunderstood? So I unblocked them, quote tweeted my confusion, got a bit snarky....
