One year ago today, my former boss @kamalaharris.com began her inspiring campaign for president. She may not have won, but our fight and this work continues. Thank you to everyone who still believes in what can be.

No matter how alone you feel, know: you’re not. This is San Diego, Illinois, Minnesota (despite the tragedy and warnings), and Philadelphia today.
Across the country there are so, so many who also say NO to fascism, NO to kings, NO to corruption, and NO to shredding the Constitution. #NoKings

I posted a video about @robertgarcia.bsky.social and other Dems’ trip to El Salvador and Kilmar Abrego Garcia yesterday. In short: this is the Constitutional crisis we’ve warned about.

Perfectly put by @agraybee.bsky.social. If “illegals” don’t get Due Process, literally no one gets Due Process. Your rights are whatever an ICE agent says they are.

This is one of the most patriotic letters I’ve ever read from the AUSA resigning over the Eric Adams case — who won two Bronze Stars in Iraq.
“I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion. But it was never going to be me.”

Thanks so much to @JulianGinzo and “They Said So” for insightful and thoughtful questions about the process of speechwriting, my views on Trump’s oratory, writing a speech in an hour because the President had a root canal, and other topics.

It feels on the nose to work on climate and then live through a climate emergency. But it’s also to be expected. These are the kinds of impacts the entire world is facing if we do not act faster to both limit warming & adapt to a warmer world.

A view of the #palisadesfire from 12th and Idaho in Santa Monica. Really scary, thinking of everyone evacuating and in harm’s way. Please stay safe everyone and get go bags ready with medicines, chargers, and other essential items. lafd.org/news/palisad...

I saw this post on the OTHER app — which has 1.3M views on a “blue” account — in my feed & it just felt… off. I checked & a site said this photo is 99% likely AI.
No idea whether it’s fake. But ending “verification” on that app as AI sophistication skyrockets is a deeply dangerous combination.

He talked about agonizing setbacks and ultimately deciding to stay hopeful. He challenged us to do the same.
So I’m planning to follow his advice again. 🇺🇸
