I mean, look, I'm not a reporter, so who am I to talk?
But on a day where the president both just called a woman reporter "Piggy" and is celebrating someone who had people bone saw apart one of my colleagues, I might just be a little ready to defend my colleagues and profession.
But that's just me

This is an older post, but her “Poisonous Words” quilt is genius and oh so relevant.
Let’s flood social media with our art today in support of peaceful protests at all 50 state capitols.

Arrested large amounts of peaceful clergy face first on pavement is a pretty good sign you’re not the good guys in the story. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

The way he rubs his inhumanity in Americans” face never ceases to stun me.
He’s illegally refusing to pay food stamp benefits…
…while he throws a ridiculously over the top Gatsby party for his right wing millionaire and corporate friends.

This isn’t a game. Some middle class families in Connecticut are going to get a $25,000 increase in health care premiums in a week. Democrats shouldn’t support a budget that does that to people - just as a means to pay for a giant tax cut for billionaires and corporations.

We must meet the moment with vigor & courage. This regime is corrupt to the core. They aim to demolish America & restructure it for the ultra rich. Resist. The time is now

Voters should pick their representatives, not the other way around. Glad to get the chance to talk to some of the volunteers and organizers doing the hard work to make sure Prop 50 passes. This vote will have critical implications, not just for California, but for our entire country.

Chris Murphy: "There's a lot of history that has taken place in the East Wing & it was just destroyed without any conversation in the public, without any consent of Congress. It's absolutely illegal. That visual is powerful b/c you're watching destruction of the rule of law as those walls come down"

Trump let George Santos out of jail just to make it clear that if you're loyal to him, you can get away with anything. This isn't a democracy if one man decides what's a crime and what isn't.
Time for everyone to wake up. This moment is more serious than many want to believe.

Breathtaking. This is why today will likely go down as the biggest day of peaceful protest in our nation’s 250 year history.

If Donald Trump is allowed to weaponize the Department of Justice against his political opponents, democracy itself will not survive. I went on MSNBC to break down the shocking indictment of John Bolton, explaining why it’s not about justice — it’s about revenge and power.

Good morning.
Democrats have no obligation to vote for a budget that funds corruption and totalitarianism.
Trump is willing to do whatever it takes to destroy our democracy and pad the pockets of billionaires.
People don't want Democrats to wilt. They want us to fight.
