I’m seeing tons posts from veterans and active military that “marching out of step” is a silent protest. ✊🏻

As the military has been used as political pawns recently, I applaud them for this maneuver. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Even though I gave up Catholicism for Lent, I have to tip my hat to a pope who refuses a meeting with JD Vance.

So here we are—it’s Easter Sunday. We are not yet at the 100-day mark of the disastrous presidency. What have we learned? What lessons can we share today about the Trump regime? Here are some observations.

💔 sacrifice to bring even more visibility to how Iran treats women.
In grim contrast to the red carpet, Soheila Golestani faces 74 lashes for her Oscar-nominated film, The Seed of the Sacred Fig. Watch this film to understand the repression of Iran’s theocratic regime &why the #WomenLifeFreedom movement is so important: www.thetimes.com/culture/film...

Remember: Musk is a coward at heart. A weak man, not a strong one. A fragile ego just like the guy he shares an office with.

Flying to DCA next month, thinking it HAS to be the safest place to land right now with all 👀 on it… not so much.
Another plane incident in DC:

An American Airlines flight from Boston had to abort its landing at DCA airport this morning to avoid another plane that was taking off on the same runway, authorities said.

Shameful treatment of our veterans. fElon severs the hand that protects them… I hope this clock runs down quickly.
Raphael is a disabled Army veteran who worked at the VA in Seattle and played a critical role in processing servicemembers' disability benefits.

He's received nothing but stellar performance reviews.

Elon Musk fired him with ZERO justification. Help share his story.

Here are five things I (already) accomplished this week:

1) Tumbled out of bed
2) Stumbled to the kitchen
3) Poured myself a cup of ambition
4) Yawned and stretched
5) Tried to come to life

Stupid. Reckless. Wasteful.

There are a lot of words to describe the Elon-Trump regime, but efficient is not one of them. apnews.com/article/fda-...

By crushing cancer research, what are Elon & Trump making more efficient?

Their NIH funding cuts are illegal—so instead, they're suffocating the grant approval process for cancer researchers with so much red tape that labs & clinical trials will be forced to shut down.

I watched an interview with Ani DiFranco on MSNBC about Rolling Stone's list of Best Protest Songs. More than "protest," DiFranco said "each of these songs also presents an alternate worldview. While you're pushing back against the status quo, you're also giving voice to a different way of being."
The 100 Best Protest Songs of All Time
From Pete Seeger to Billie Holiday to Rage Against the Machine to Kendrick Lamar, musicians of all genres have spoken truth to power

If your doctor supports RFK Jr., get a new doctor.
Good news. Fortunately, it is approved by a federal dept. RFK Jr. doesn't oversee (USDA). Call me pessimistic, but how long until this gets attacked with the usual antivax talking points by people with sig. platforms? "Toxins," human health impacts, etc., etc. 🙄🛟🧪😷 idsky medsky

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

RONALD REAGAN (1988): We should be aware of the demagogues who are ready to declare a trade war against our friends, weakening our economy, our national security, and the entire free world—all while cynically waving the American flag.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.

Opportunities are everywhere.

Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

This press conference on the DC crash is an embarrassment. Just a lot of rambling.
