Dear ones:
I must limit my political intake for my own sanity. If I don't follow you back, that's why. I support equality, freedom and art. Please be well on the journey.

BREAKING: AOC on MTG retiring:
"She's carefully timing her departure just 1-2 days after her pension kicks in and after making millions of dollars insider trading stocks for weapons manufacturers and others while in office."

HOORAY for Elizabeth Warren and Bailey! And Stephen.
Elizabeth Warren on Colbert's show: "We don't think one corporation or one man named David Ellison should be able to buy up all the shows and buy up all the sports and buy up all the news and decide who watches what and I'm gonna stay in that fight."

She's right!
AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

She's right!
I agree. Everyone is now fully aware that the Republicans want to cut health care. That's not going to be good for them. It's time to look to the midterms.
Contrary to popular opinion... This ending of the #shutdown is actually in the Dems favor. If we hold out the Rs just keep hammering that the shutdown is not there fault. Reopen the congress, get the Epstein files released, and the Rs will be blamed for the ACA cost as well as all the SNAP issues

100%! There is not a candidate in the WORLD who will do exactly what you want all the time. Democracy DEPENDS on smart people staying involved and voting for the best possible candidate. A lot of people stayed home in 2024.
Don’t you dare think about not voting. Voting is our way to make the situation better. When you vote for people who do the wrong thing, you don’t just then give up and let whatever happen happen, you hold them accountable and make sure you get someone better next time

esterday I had the honor of playing for a group of old friends. They include a Georgetown classmate of mine, & Jill Biden. One of the friends is ill, and the rest organized some music for her. Of course, it had to be Irish music! Thanks so much to Andy Thurston, guitarist extraordinaire!

Happy 10th birthday to the most resonant political tweet of all time.
One day, people will get wise to right-wing populism, but seemingly not yet.

RESIST! Do not reciss. TY.
while it’s in the news I need everyone to know the verb form of “rescission” is “rescind”
I just saw “they’re going to reciss everything” and I get how it happened but no
