Education Secretary Linda McMahon got interrupted by circus music mid-speech—which is fitting, since this whole administration is a three-ring disaster and she’s just another clown in the tent. 🎪🤡

So important. This is America.
Freedom, equality, democracy, human rights are not and never have been dictated by polling approval.

I just like to post these data from time to time to puncture the mythological aura of mid 20th c protests. They were less popular than pretty much any 21st c mass action & people criticizing them used the same lines. Protest is about people coming together, shaping narratives, & building power.

Senator Alex Padilla of California was removed by force from Kristi Noem’s presser and handcuffed for his free speech. This is what a fascist regime does that rejects the laws of the US. It should horrify every American. Let’s stop pretending we are approaching authoritarian rule. We are there.

One of my favorite Bible stories is the one where that leper came to Jesus asking for healing and Jesus said why bother "we all are going to die."

Today, while the market collapsed and four soldiers who died on an exercise in Lithuania arrived at Dover, where was Donald Trump? Was he monitoring the markets? Was he there for the arrival of these heroes?
Nope: he was golfing, with the Saudis
