This authoritarian regime is determined to change us as people, and render us fearful, weak, callous, despairing and cruel. We must resist these efforts, and remain fearless, strong, empathetic, joyful and kind.

We are reigniting vaccine-preventable diseases in our nation’s children while simultaneously decimating their access to healthcare.

Beware this government-sanctioned disinformation that is in our inboxes today.

As a Jew, I have a collective intergeneration understanding of the consequences of decent people looking away as the humanity of others were destroyed in Nazi Germany. With America on the cusp of a police state, we must actively choose to not repeat that same mistake now.

I hope this is the face she makes every time she looks in the mirror and thinks about what she did.

As the attack from within on Americans continues, now legislatively, we must not despair. We take a deep breath, give ourselves time to regroup and recharge, and return to the fight.

Thanks to Lisa Murkowski’s cowardice, the MAGA Murder Bill is on its way to killing our fellow Americans.

Another U.S. citizen was arrested and detained by ICE agents in Hollywood on Thursday. We must stand up, speak out and fight back.

If there is a ceasefire between Iran and Israel after Iran’s largely symbolic bombing of a U.S. base in Qatar today, that is good for so many reasons. Besides the obvious global benefits of de-escalation, it also makes it harder for Trump to justify extreme actions domestically against us all here.

This just happened. ICE arrested a U.S. citizen. We must rise up and fight back, again and again.

Not surprisingly, the silence from the entire Republican Party is deafening in the wake of this continued assault on our nation. The world is watching. History will honor those who spoke out and stood up, and will vilify those who stayed silent and were complicit.

“If you saw all this in any other country — soldiers sent to crush dissent, union leaders arrested, opposition politicians threatened — it would be clear that autocracy had arrived. The question, now, is whether Americans who hate tyranny can be roused to respond.”

Has anybody else noticed that no one is talking right now about the Trump-Musk feud, the tariffs, the attacks on the judiciary, media, and universities, the decimation of science and research, the destruction of our international alliances, the continued DOGE fiasco or the MAGA Murder Budget?
