Today is International Day for Tolerance!

"Tolerance is respect, acceptance and appreciation of the rich diversity of our world's cultures, our forms of expression and ways of being human."

Let us "continue promoting dialogue, empathy, active respect for differences for peace & human development."

From my calendar of Monet's Gardens at Giverny, bought at the National Gallery in DC. "an inviting study in green beckoned Monet to spend decades painting his pond & Japanese-style footbridge. The reflections he observed in this pond inspired the most loved &renowned paintings of his long career"

Amen, Simon!
There's one central rule in working against autocrats - if they see you as weak, if you attempt to appease, you are creating a permission structure for them to escalate, to take more.

Ds are strong right now, and he is weak. We need to use our strength to get more for the American people, not less
With our big election win last week, and Trump's clear political and physical decline, Dems should be more ambitious now, and fight even harder, for the country and the American people. Voters saw us fighting for them & we were rewarded across the country 👇

Would someone for the love of god (or whoever) just punch Stephen Miller in his stupid mouth? He just makes me sick!! Clearly he is proof what happens when your mom doesn’t give you love.

i thought Ezra Levin, one of the organizers of the No Kings gatherings, made such an important profound point yesterday. He said, "Our enemy here is not Trump, our enemy is fatalism and nihilism and cynicism."

I'll be there tomorrow, in Washington, with hundreds of thousands of others who will be peacefully protesting. When will we get our paycheck?? Good luck to all tomorrow and stay safe. Remember, we are the patriots who love this country and are speaking out and standing up for what we know is right!
I am planning on going to No Kings gathering this weekend in central Texas. And since I was terminated by MSNBC a few weeks ago, can someone let me know where to pick up paycheck that GOP keeps talking about. I have asked many folks going to No Kings, and none are getting paid.

I am sounding the alarm that the GOP is engaged in an all out attack voting rights and free and fair elections. Voter suppression, gerrymandering, and troops in blue cities are just some of the ways they are using to try to rig the rules to keep power in 2026 and beyond.

Pay attention and act!
