America is beautiful, contradictory, unfinished. I am proud of our country even as we constantly strive to make it better, to protect and deepen our democracy, to fulfill its promise for each and every person who calls it home.
Happy Independence Day. No Kings in America.

Remember. Democrats could’ve stopped a lot of this madness in March. They had one job - to stop the Continuing Resolution. Instead, 9 voted to advance the CR without negotiating a single term with Republicans.

Our President calls for arresting political opponents. He encourages and pardons white supremacists. He’s deployed the marines on US citizens. He sends innocent people to foreign prisons and allows ICE to kidnap people. He calls for violence, so people are violent. It’s normalized and scary.
Same week: the Speaker of the House said a Democratic Governor should be “tarred and feathered,” there was a political assassination against a Democrat. The same week the Head of DHS said she’d “liberate this city from the socialists and the burdensome leadership,” a US Dem Senator was detained.

I’m shocked 😐. The US has a spending issue with the military contractors, but there was no way they were touching those. Instead, let’s target foreign aid and broadcasting, less than 1% of the budget.

The paradox of tolerance: a tolerant society must limit intolerance, or else intolerance will take over.
Democracy is not just majority rule; it’s a system that protects the rights of all people. It’s necessary to set limits on expressions of intolerance that threaten these freedoms.

Yay! One step at a time. But ALL these prisoners deserve to be brought back to the US to have due process. This is human trafficking. If there is no due process for one person, there is no due process for all.

Netanyahu loves Trump's plan to force 2 million people from Gaza & turn it into a billionaires’ Riviera. He calls it "voluntary migration.”
It's not voluntary if you bomb & starve those who stay.
It’s ethnic cleansing. It's a war crime.
No more military aid to Netanyahu.

Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors.
It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.
