We are fighting back. Our movement has been silenced by the media here—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.

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.
We need to make sure @crawfordforwi wins the Wisconsin Supreme Court seat April 1 and it’s now neck and neck.

Forget those Democratic emails begging for money — Judge Crawford is only $541 away from smashing a huge goal. Can we get her there?

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.

@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

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

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 🤦‍♀️
