Mamdani: “My friends, we have toppled a political dynasty. I wish Andrew Cuomo only the best in private life. But let tonight be the final time I utter his name as we turn the page on the politics that abandons the many and answers only to the few.”

So happy tonight!!! Thank you VA, PA, NJ, GA, NYC, and my home state of CA!! 🌊💙🌊💙 #BlueWave

Some of my favorite signs from yesterday! Estimates of over 4,000 people in my red community. It was much bigger than the previous ones.

Cool POV of the Seattle protest taken from the Monorail. Via @seattlesubmissions

Protesters form a human banner at San Francisco’s Ocean Beach as part of Saturday’s No Kings day of action. The demonstrators supported Proposition 50, a measure on November’s ballot to redraw California’s congressional districts in response to Texas’ GOP-focused remapping.

Great signs from today!

Some pictures from today in Temecula, a red city in a red county in blue CA. The energy level was incredible with lots of honking in support!

A fantastic message of the power of ordinary people to stand against tyranny.

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

It’s hard to grasp the level of self-deception it takes to vote third-party, claim “both parties are the same,” and then watch a President strip away due process and crash $10 trillion off the global economy—only to still sleep soundly at night.

Sad to hear funding has been cut for the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH). I attended 3 NEH seminars: Pearl Harbor in HI, Civil Rights in AL, and Mining in the West in MT. It was the BEST professional development I ever had!! Funding already promised for this year has been cut. 💔

We are not OK, America. Speak out, then we will have hope! 🇺🇸

BREAKING: 34,000 people have showed up in Denver, Colorado this evening to see Bernie Sanders and AOC fight oligarchy and authoritarianism.

I am disgusted by the fact that he used children as props in his signing of the EO to end the Department of Education. Just shameful. Where is Congress? Please check on your educator friends. We are not okay. #EducationMatters

America is collapsing with the grace and dignity of a Denny's foreclosure in rural Missouri in which the owners just put whatever food is left out on the corner

Now it's 9/11, breast cancer, and suicide prevention that are on the chopping block for being D*E*I? WTF?? #HistoryMatters

First, they erased the 442nd regiment, and now it's the Navajo Code Talkers. 💔 #HistoryMatters

Context matters. So does history. #HistoryMatters

Say what?? Paul Tibbets plane that dropped the 1st atomic bomb is now DEI?? 🤣😭 I'm laughing and crying at the same time! #HistoryMatters

This week, I started my Cold War unit. I had my students do research on international organizations created after WWII. Then they discussed which they thought was most important. NATO won, followed by the UN, WHO, and World Bank. My 11th graders are smarter than our elected leaders! #HistoryMatters

Hmmm. 2009. Not removed. 2022. Not removed. 2025. Removed. One of these is not like the other two ….

Yep. History shows Americans do far better under Democratic leadership.

This is not okay!

The clouds looked painted on tonight.

"More than expected"- Really CNBC? I don't think so. Box stores like Joann's closing, federal jobs massacre,.... Don't act surprised that people are filling for unemployment!

💔 So sad for all these federal employees! 💔

Today, I covered the Great Society in my history class, and I added some extra slides about Medicaid just to help my students think critically about the potential impact of $880 billion in cuts. #HistoryMatters #FactsMatter

🚨 𝐎𝐍𝐄 𝐕𝐎𝐓𝐄 𝐒𝐇𝐎𝐑𝐓. We MUST 🛑 GOP budget in Senate! Rep. Pettersen flew cross-country w her 𝐨𝐧𝐞-𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐡-𝐨𝐥𝐝 👶 to 🗳️ NO—bc 𝟒𝟎𝟎,𝟎𝟎𝟎 𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐨 𝐤𝐢𝐝𝐬’ 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞, 𝐟𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐨𝐫𝐬 & 𝐯𝐞𝐭𝐬 & 𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐈𝐭’𝐬 𝐮𝐩 𝐭𝐨 𝐮𝐬. We can 🛑 this CALL these 🔑 GOP Senators & demand they 🗳️ NO

A powerful and scary read. Diversity is what makes us great!

It's going to be interesting teaching the Cold War this year now that Russia and the US are apparent allies. WTF??? The enemy of my friend is now my friend, and my friend is now my enemy. I can't...I'm tired just thinking about it. #HistoryMatters

Today as I was teaching the 1950s Red Scare to my AP students, I shared with them about the McCarran Internal Security Act which made it illegal to "perform any act which would substantially contribute to the establishment within the US of a totalitarian dictatorship..." Hmm. #HistoryMatters

Surprise. Surprise. (Not really) My representatives' mailbox is full, so I can't leave a message about funding cuts, and no one is answering in DC.

Bright passionate people who wanted to dedicate their lives to public service were fired in a mass email over the holiday weekend. This has absolutely nothing to do with efficiency, fraud, waste, or abuse. And your life will be worse because of it.

I showed my students @georgetakei.bsky.social Ted Talk today as we learned about Japanese internment. Each day I am trying to do my part by teaching my students why we cannot repeat history! #HistoryMatters

Taught America's response to the Holocaust today in my APUSH class. Great discussion by students who on their own made connections to today. So proud of them! Teaching the future is my resistance.

What can you do? Don’t give up hope. Dictators feed off your hopelessness. Don’t quit. Dictators want you to give up. Punch back. Dictators are bullies, and bullies are cowards. Stay tethered to the truth. Dictators need you to believe their lies. Resist. Stand with others.

Oh, good lord! Sure, let's just start changing the names of other nations. I'm sure they won't have a problem with that, right? www.axios.com/2025/02/11/g...

Wait, have we even tried this yet? 😅🤣😂

WOW! Cory Booker isn't holding back! "There can be no bystanders in this fight. It is time that we understand the only thing necessary for wrong to triumph is for right to do nothing, for right to be silent."

Jasmine is on FIRE 🔥 🔥🔥 "...we are going to be in your face, we are going to be on your asses, and we are going to make sure you understand what democracy looks like... ...and this ain't it!"

BEST part of the day. "Lock him up."

This 💯!!!

Well, there goes "Innocent until proven guilty." And since when is shoplifting a violent crime worthy of a detention facility?
