No Kings Day could be our biggest, loudest and most widespread mass protests yet, and grassroots donations make that possible by funding the tools, recruitment efforts, signage and logistical details (like speakers and portapotties) that great events need. Please pitch in if you can.

Dear NBA, I know it looks bad if your supposed MVP goes out in Round 2. Especially with all the other upsets. But if you wanted OKC to advance, just let us know Call me a homer but this officiating difference between SGA and Jokic is ridiculous. #NBAPlayoffs #NBA

The way we were treated at Delaney Hall is almost unbelievable. ICE shoved me, manhandled @repbonnie.bsky.social, and arrested Mayor Baraka.

They disrespected us and tried to stop us from conducting the oversight we’re elected to do. But we’ll never back down in our fight for what is right.

The war in Gaza has killed or injured 170,000.

Children are starving to death.

Trump is encouraging the ethnic cleansing of 2.2 million people.

Why is there no discussion in the US government about why we are spending billions of taxpayer dollars starving children in Gaza?

In an era that looked as if it might be defined by an American man of depraved cruelty, corruption & shame, what a magnificent thing the Catholic Church has done. The elevation of an American man of goodness, grace, humility, mercy & faith to the Throne of St. Peter is moving & momentous for us all.

When the HHS Secretary is telling the American public that trusting expert scientists is not a function of democracy, it’s well and truly over for science in the USA.

I can’t stress this enough. If scientific expertise is believed to be an enemy to democracy, we are finished. Complete catastrophe.

Dr. Carla Hayden is a groundbreaking leader with unrivaled qualifications for the job.

This is an attack on one of our nation's largest historical and cultural institutions.

Trump is trying to silence those that disagree with his narrow view of America. It’s disgraceful.

Carla Hayden was supposed to serve until 2026. She was abruptly removed with no clear reason given, although I think it’s obvious why.

We are not under invasion.

There is no justification for suspending our constitutional rights.

Every single American should speak out against this, loudly and forcefully.
Stephen Miller: "The writ of habeas corpus can be suspended in a time of invasion. So I would say that's an option we're actively looking at."

Menendez Jr: They feel no weight of the law and no restraint on what they should be doing. And that was shown in broad daylight today when they not just arrested the Mayor of Newark but when they put their hands on two members of congress standing behind me. How is this acceptable?
