Tish James lit up the room last night — and her words echoed far beyond the walls of The United Palace. This is a fight for the future.

Vaccines are safe and effective. Autism isn't caused by vaccines, and autistic people and their families deserve our support. When you want information, ask your doctor. It's more important than ever for all of us to speak plainly, truthfully, and directly about public health.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion. The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion. Read that back. When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

On this date, Matthew Shephard died 27 years ago. He was beaten, tortured, and left for dead on fence for being gay. Please keep him and his wonderful mother Judy in your thoughts. And let's all work for a world where such horrific things do not happen to anyone. ❤️🏳️‍🌈

This Is Fascism

I would pay big bucks to see @jvl.bsky.social interview the Portland Chicken on @thebulwark.com

✊🏾 #ONEV1 #Pinks 🌸 #Voices4Victory

Peaceful assembly isn’t an insurrection. Storming the Capitol to hang your own vice-president and end democracy is.

You know what fascism looks like? Attorney General Letitia James getting criminally indicted on literal trumped-up charges by the criminal who she fought to hold accountable for the actual crimes he committed and is now using the full power of the US govt to seek vengeance.

ANTIFA:

No one signs up for the National Guard thinking, “One day, I’ll invade Oregon.”

If we are taking in “trillion” of dollars in tariffs: 1. Why haven’t we paid down a cent of the debt? 2. Why can’t we afford to not fuck millions of people over with expiring insurance subsidies? 3. Why is none of it being used to help the abysmal job market?

Congratulations to this year’s Nobel Physics laureates — all 3 @uofcalifornia.bsky.social professors. Home to groundbreaking physicists, including 2 immigrants leading the world in innovation & possibility, California is proud to dream big & deliver even bigger. www.nobelprize.org/prizes/physi...

"This is supposed to be an oversight hearing" -- Schiff helpfully ticks through all of the incriminating questions -- and there are many of them -- that Bondi refused to answer during today's hearing

Grijalva: The frustration for me is that it seems as if Speaker Johnson is not willing to swear me in because our politics are a little different, or because I’m going to be the 218th signer—he can just continue to drag this along with no end in sight. That is not a foundation of our democracy.

California joins the nation in recognizing Disability Employment Awareness Month — a celebration of the 7M+ adults with disabilities who call California home and enrich our state. Together, we can keep growing an inclusive workforce for the fourth-largest economy in the world.

Remember, it was the Washington Post who gave Bondi a thumbs up to be confirmed. Democracy Docket made clear from day one that she was an election denying sycophant. No surprise at their coverage of today. Support independent, pro-democracy media today. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador. Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

Empathy + Action = A Better World Thank you, Jane Goodall

“It actually doesn’t take much to be considered a difficult woman. That’s why there are so many of us.” ― Jane Goodall 💙 RIP to a real one. My childhood hero

Elizabeth Warren: "If fighting to reduce the cost of healthcare and avoid a coming catastrophe is not worth fighting for, then I don't know what is."

Generational Freudian slip

If you don’t want to be called a Nazi or Hitler, maybe stop quoting him verbatim?

If Trump had become president 20 years earlier, Epstein would have been in his cabinet.

In a blistering decision, a Reagan-appointed judge says the Trump administration has trampled First Amendment rights by targeting students protesting Israel's actions in Gaza.

When will corporate news media discuss the fact that the president is totally demented and insane? Oh right, the pedophilic billionaire elite don’t want you to think about that.

When are all the terrified people who know this is wrong but think they can just wait out the next three years going to wake up and take their heads out of the sand?

Kimmel: "The President of the United States made it very clear he wants to see me and the hundreds of people who work here fired from our jobs. Our leader celebrates Americans losing their livelihoods because he cannot take a joke."

This ought to be engraved somewhere.

The same prick who gives me a headache every day now wants to outlaw Tylenol.

Donald is trying to get the AG to find a reason to prosecute his opponents, but is fine with Tom Homan taking a bribe. Got it. Most corrupt president in history

So if Tylenol creates autism we’re cool then with vaccines right? RIGHT???? RFK jr is insane, so it POTUS

Remember: If we allow ourselves to fall into fatalism, or wallow in disappointment, or become resigned to what is rather than what should be, we will lose the long game. The greatest enemy of positive social change is cynicism about what can be changed.

I can live without Disney. I can live without CBS. I can live without NBC. America cannot live without the Freedom Of Speech

I will as well.
