If Bill Clinton raped girls within Jeffrey Epstein’s child sex trafficking ring, he should rot in prison. If Donald Trump raped girls within Jeffrey Epstein’s child sex trafficking ring, he should rot in prison. That wasn’t so difficult, was it?

Just to be crystal clear: bombing Iran is completely illegal.

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

“We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented. Sometimes we must interfere.” Elie Wiesel (1928-2016), writer and Auschwitz survivor #HandsOff ‼️

Excited for all the new American banana and coffee factories.

We all need to #resist the Putin/Trump/Musk/Vance/Ellison #coup. Massive, peaceful turnout in @Westport CT today. #Handsoff ✋ #Moveon @rbreich.bsky.social @joycevance.bsky.social @Alexwinter.com

Dictators of all stripes hate solidarity. They’d prefer that we cower alone. They want us to feel powerless. This is why I encourage you to participate in the peaceful demonstrations planned for today across America. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/april-5-hands-off-our-healthcare

Hey, I wonder if there's any economic news today. I'll check out the website of America's biggest news network--Fox! Phew. Nothing's up! Biggest news in US today is a very nice Christian woman was slapped for no reason after sticking a camera in a stranger's face & calling her a baby killer.

Couldn't agree more @repjamesclyburn.bsky.social! Hope to see you and your colleagues at a #teslatakedown action soon. We're hitting the broligarchs where it hurts: in the wallet.

Not only did Pete Hegseth hire his younger brother but he also had his wife tag along to meetings while they were discussing sensitive information? Pete Hegseth has gotta go. Resign. Immediately.

Oh man! "Maybe this is exactly what the end conclusion of dismantling education and American democracy is, because this is ridiculous." I love Rep. Melanie Stansbury. This is magnificent. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

If only America would protect school children the way it protects Teslas.

A really powerful WWII era "don't be a sucker" piece, that explains how authoritarians have to separate and destroy groups of people so they can take power. I don't usually watch anything this long (22 min) but couldn't stop watching once I started this.

Strong turnout today in #Milford CT for #Teslatakedown Felt good to stand up for our democracy. And thanks to @senatorblumenthal.bsky.social for joining us! #indivisible

Easily 50 people on a sunny afternoon in Stamford, CT to protest at the Tesla showroom ⚡️ #teslatakedown

To the @GOP senators and Congressmen who claim to support Ukraine, you do have some power… if you’re unwilling to exercise it then don’t pretend to care about your country more than your political career:

Cannot wait for #dahlia season to get here.

Sen Chris Murphy (D-CT) just now: “You could literally walk down the street and the first 100 people you’d find would be less dangerous as the head of HHS than Robert F Kennedy Jr. He will get people killed”

Remember, today especially, that MLK said America suffers not just from "the vitriolic words and actions of the bad people but for the appalling silence of the good people." Keep the faith. Keep up the fight.

Anyone else feeling a horrible sense of impending doom and nausea🤢 as we approach Inauguration Day? Sophie is the only member of our household who is chill. Will try hard to focus on MLK’s amazing legacy instead…

Los Angeles received just 0.16 inches of rain since May 2024, the second-driest period on record. Wildfires are now engulfing the city in January. But some politicians still claim the climate crisis is a "hoax" as they do the bidding of Big Oil. What planet are they living on?

Sapphire Moonlight…

Wishing you bright, beautiful skies in 2025 ✨⭐️🌟✨

In 1943 during her goodwill tour of New Zealand, First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt shared a hongi, the traditional Māori greeting of pressing noses, with her Māori guide. This moment reflected her genuine respect for Māori culture and her admiration for women’s contributions during the war.

Trying to do less this holiday season. #golden hour #breathe

Sometimes I forget how beautiful my home state of CT is. Yesterday was a perfect day for a hike. Sophie, our golden retriever, ecstatically led the way #CT #Guilford #hiking

In awe of you activists who are moving forward with organizing/writing/speaking up post-election. I am still reeling.
