To the world:
We are fighting back. Our movement has been silenced by the media hereβ€”but we are not backing down. This is what our streets looked like across multiple cities. Tomorrow, there will be more of us! Raise a glass to freedom.

β€”With love,
Your American allies.

I am often asked about my sincere belief in others & how that gives me hope.

Today @booker.senate.gov gave me hope. He was heroic. He is a helper.

As I say in my book Find The Helpers, what matters more than the moment is what we do next. Corey Booker just showed the way for what to do next.

We can not let Musk get a real seat at any American table.

β€˜Beyond My Wildest Dreams’: The Architect of Project 2025 Is Ready for His Victory Lap Paul Dans, the ousted director of Project 2025, says he’s delighted that Trump is implementing his agenda after all.

Ex-Project 2025 chief Paul Dans says that, despite the Trump campaign's one-time efforts to distance itself from the Heritage Foundation's plans, Project 2025 has come to pass.

"There really is almost no difference between Project 2025 and what Trump was planning." www.politico.com/news/magazin...

10 years ago, when I introduced a bill to make public colleges & universities tuition free, it was called "radical." Not today. Over 100 colleges & universities now offer free tuition to working class students.

Now, we must expand that idea to all public colleges & universities.

I made these easy seed starter pots by folding a piece of cardboard 3 times.
Great low cost option in drier climates.

A Reddit moderation tool is flagging β€˜Luigi’ as potentially violent content Automated moderation tools are flagging β€œLuigi” as potentially β€œviolent.β€œ

@miasato.bsky.social did a great piece for the Verge. Not only does this limit conversation on mainstream social media that threatens class interests, but it also goes to show that Reddit and other platforms could have always prevented abusive speech and chose not to

I've had the police called on me for walking into the women's restroom.

It's very exhausting. I've been sir'd and Mr.'d since I stopped straightening my hair.

Maaaan. To build wealth and community in this country you always need to move silently i guess. Or weaponize the legal system in your favor...

β€˜Stand Up for Science’ Rallies Will Protest Trump Attacks on Research Amid President Donald Trump’s attacks on government scientists and science funding, researchers are arranging rallies to β€œStand Up for Science” in Washington, D.C., and nationwide on March 7

As one of the original March for Science organizers, I couldn't be more excited to support a new team that is organizing another day of mass mobilization in support of science at a time when we need it most.

Here's a great interview with the @standupforscience.bsky.social team in @sciam.bsky.social

A scandal is brewing in D.C. over an alleged assault by a GOP Congressman and a possible cover up by the authorities, including the U.S. Attorney’s Office there. I lay out the facts and start asking some questions in today’s piece: https://buff.ly/3DaxfNJ

Eyerolling skeet: "serious question is Joe Biden still alive, like he was president two weeks ago he could maybe say something"

reply: "this is quite literally the only thing that's been on my mind all week. Kamala too. Obama. Bring them all together."

We spectacularly failed to listen; Harris, Biden, Obama...all said: TRUMP IS GOING TO DESTROY the USA.

But ppl shrugged & stayed home & wouldn't vote for Harris

But *now* they're screaming at Dems to DO SOMETHING

After not voting Harris & not voting Dems into the majority in the Senate or House πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ
