Lies, lies, gloating about lies, gloating about lies, lies, gloating about lies….shameful.

TV is now off. It was like fingernails on a chalkboard.

Democratic leaders failed us again. Time to get some new leaders.

Happening right now, on two opposing sides of the street in my small town of Hamden, is a peaceful protest war. This is what democracy looks like!

If you're not familiar with QAnon conspiracy dogwhistles, then you won't know that Stephen Miller just rattled off a bunch of them in a row, including "I am the storm" and "Light out of darkness." While these sound like dumb cliches on the surface, they're coded messages to Q cult adherents.

How do we honor our own principles without giving people who only condemn political violence when it affects their tribe a pass? I tried to explain my views here. substack.com/home/post/p-...
On Political Violence
Tonight, people from across the political spectrum should be joining together to condemn political violence, no matter who the target is.

On Monday, I gave Donald Trump a chance to back off on having his GOP lapdogs rig next year’s elections by further gerrymandering red states.

He instead chose personal power over our country.

This November, California voters will be given the option to fight back.

🚨 BREAKING: new video shows ICE is operating a detention facility on the 10th floor of 26 Federal Plaza, where people are being held for days or weeks at a time without showers, medication or a change of clothes, sleeping on the floor, and with minimal food and outside contact.

Listen up. Here’s what I’m saying:

You: are you pro-choice or pro-life?
Me: I’m pro-democracy

You: are you for fossil fuel or clean energy?
Me: I’m for democracy

You: are you for open or closed borders?
Me: I want to keep our democracy

REAL IMAGES from today's peaceful protest in Los Angeles…there was even a musical performance! Legacy media needs to start covering the reality and not just the provocative bits.

I am in downtown Los Angeles right now and it is completely surreal to hear that Trump is sending Marines here. We are listening to mariachi music. People have dogs. There are teenagers here. It is utterly and completely peaceful. Please tell your friends.

The federal government is taking over the California National Guard and deploying 2,000 soldiers in Los Angeles — not because there is a shortage of law enforcement, but because they want a spectacle.

Don't give them one.

Never use violence. Speak out peacefully.

For our LA friends - please show up if you can. We stand in solidarity with SEIU and David. He's showing us immense courage. Let's show him it's contagious.
Military style ICE raids in our communities. David Huerta was beaten and dragged away.

Because he saw them and stood up for justice. Because he’s not afraid.

Neither are we.

On MONDAY let's #FreeDavidHuerta, #FreeThemAll
