I read his book & found myself sobbing multiple times as I realized so many things about myself, about this world, about our history of treating differences. It was an absolutely stunning read, so well done, & for some of us a thunderbolt of insight into our own selves. I am so grateful to Steve.

As we enter the final weeks of our 99 County Tour, I want to take a moment to thank ALL OF YOU!

Whether it’s a small group at a meet-and-greet or hundred at a rally, this campaign wouldn’t be possible without the energy you bring.

The thing that makes me the sickest is that these folks don’t even have a shred of compassion. It’s one thing to enforce laws and rules. It’s another to do it gleefully and celebrate the suffering of someone born into poverty and desperation

I visited the apartment building ICE raided on Tuesday today. Story to come, but you can walk right in. Half of the apartments have no doors on them. Children's stuff abandoned in some flats. *Citizen* residents told me they were arrested and held for hours in zipties. This is America

Allowing a Russian asset to because president is one of the country’s biggest counterintelligence failures in history.

Everyone blames the “voters” for Trump. I blame those who didn’t hold him accountable. We got him not because of voters but because of cowards. Kinda feels complicit in hindsight.

"I'll just go use official force to coercively raise my own revenue (a/k/a taxes!) and then spend it on whatever government stuff I decide I want to do" is complete and total executive tyranny, Congress reduced to nothing but a powerless sham legislature, a head of state with absolute power.

It's not just bribery. He's now using personal litigation, backed by state extortion, to extract "settlements" which he then puts into an account he created to spend on government work, all entirely outside of Congress taxing or appropriating. It's full Charles I illegal taxation and spending.

BREAKING

YouTube has agreed to pay $24.5 million to settle the lawsuit brought by President Trump against the company for suspending his account.

Most of the funds will go towards the fund the president setup for the White House ballroom.

Something our glorious Secretary of War does not seem to have considered is that the reason military PT and grooming standards, plus policies for EEO and abuse reporting, are the way they are is because they're necessary for recruitment and retention

Question:

If a POTUS was actually a Russian asset with the specific intent of destroying the military power, market strength, social unity, economic hegemony & global influence of the United States from within,

what would that person do DIFFERENTLY than what that asshole is doing right now?

Trump has so transformed and degraded the machinery of American government that it isn't enough to just beat him or his successor. Someone has to rebuild the liberal democratic state.

the only difference between our president and some of the men I cared for in the inpatient psych ward of the prison is money & power

the disparity in public regard for this exact personal profile

It’s really hard to reconcile the multiple lifetimes being served for much much less horror being done

The only Dems we have excitement for are: AOC, and Newsom (onjy when he trolls Trump, then we are back to hating him)
No one else even gets an eyebrow lift from most of us.

In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists when unprovoked — what would we call it?

If federal agents marched down streets demanding papers — what would we say?

Authoritarianism — let’s not pretend it’s something else when it happens in our American cities.

I had the kind where you took the whole stereo out and then I upgraded to the one where you just took the front off. i had to upgrade because I forgot to take out the stereo one time and it was gone the next morning.
