My friends and neighbors gave her the reception she deserves.
Republican Congresswoman Victoria Spartz: “You violated the law; you are not entitled to due process.”
This is a blatantly unconstitutional statement—every person is guaranteed due process under the Constitution.

Just met with some lovely folks who until recently worked at USAID and their implementing partners. Moving, heartbreaking, and enraging to hear the long-term impacts and wasted potential of our sudden, chaotic abandonment of global health aid.

Ok. Random thoughts at the airport.
1. I know it’s surreal to do Regular Life Things as the gov’t’s being savaged.
But here’s the thing.
Going to your favorite coffee shop or getting ice cream or chatting w/folks while waiting in line—they remind us of our shared humanity & that MATTERS right now

"The President and the Attorney General (subject to the President’s supervision and control) will interpret the law for the executive branch, instead of having separate agencies adopt conflicting interpretations."
The EO today is...astounding.
Anyone still unsure we are in a Constitutional crisis?

We have been careful to avoid using the word coup, but it’s time to call it what it is—this is a coup. Trump signed an executive order granting only the attorney general or the president the authority to interpret laws executed by the executive branch.

"Law and order" in the Trump era: if you bow down to the head of the U.S. government, he may help you - whether you're awaiting trial for sex crimes in Europe or doing time in the USA for physically assaulting police.

If you're looking for a concrete action to take today--and you're a Visa cardholder--take 2 min and send an email to them today. 👇
If you’re a Visa cardholder you can let them know you won’t be any longer if they do business with fElon. I called and they said they’re taking comments at [email protected]. Maybe if enough of us complain they’ll pull the deal.

I’m a part time librarian and I just want to echo what I’ve seen other librarians say recently: there is a HUGE uptick in requests for social justice, climate justice, abolition, history, etc books and I just want to say nobody is giving up the fight. If anything people are fighting harder #library

I voted to reject RFK Jr.'s nomination to HHS.
I cannot in good conscience support someone who denies and will dilute our public health protections, sow distrust in science, and oversee massive cuts to health care programs for vulnerable Americans.
