Resistance is calling out the misogyny, racism, bigotry, and forced religious views when you see or hear them. Keep resisting!

The Albuquerque (New Mexico) International Balloon Fiesta is a yearly hot air balloon festival that takes place in Albuquerque, New Mexico, during early October.

We visited it in October 2021.

Mark Kelly: "My wife, Gabby Giffords, meeting with her constituents, shot in the head. Six people killed around her, a horrific thing. She spent six months in the hospital. We know what political violence is and we know what causes it too, The statements that Donald Trump made incites others."

If MTG truly believes that she can run for president, she would do well to read the Epstein client list into the congressional record, then move to vacate the Speaker’s chair. Might as well go out with a bang.

Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.

The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

Trump wrongly indicted me. I’ll rightly impeach him.

Impeachment isn’t just an option, it’s a necessity. I know firsthand the lengths Trump is willing to go in order to silence dissent — but is it working?

Dan Maurer, retired Army Lt. Col. and judge advocate:

The President and Defense Secretary issued an illegal order; that order propagated down the chain-of-command; plans were formulated, mission orders were issued, and the targets were destroyed.

This is who she was.
Passionate in her beliefs. Fiercely loyal to her friends. Never afraid to let you know exactly where she stood. The best.

Fun Fact: I remember arguing with her over which of us hated Piggy the most. I was sure I did. She disagreed. It remains unresolved...
Carrie Fisher was the blueprint.
Protect your people. Call out the predators.

As a survivor of the Tulsa Race Massacre, Viola Ford Fletcher bravely shared her story so that we’d never forget this painful part of our history. Michelle and I are grateful for her lifelong work to advance civil rights, and send our love to her family.

Vought is the 'shadow president', a far-right Christian fascist who co-ran Project 2025 and hates American values of freedom, equality, democracy.

Harriet Tubman was the first woman to lead US Army troops into combat. The battle took place during the Civil War in South Carolina where she lead 150 soldiers and freed 750 slaves.

Since Fort Bragg has some unfortunate naming issues, I want to jump start an effort to someday rename it Fort Tubman.

Unfortunately, I can confirm that this is true.

I have known Carl for 2 decades and he is smart, dedicated, and quite apolitical, focused on science and getting stuff done on important problems.

Huge unnecessary loss of leadership and expertise.
Hearing news that Carl Dieffenbach, the Director of the Division of AIDS at #NIH (NIAID), has been removed from his position because he was "not aligned with HHS/OMB."

Russell Vought continues to remove great scientists as part of the Project 2025 mission to politicize and destroy NIH.

Happy Montgolfier Day! On this day in 1783 the first humans took to the air and aviation was born.

242 years later we are still enjoying the skies in montgolfières or, in English, hot air balloons!
