I don’t post my private business, however, I want to acknowledge my mother who has lived with me this past year and for whom I was so blessed to spend this precious time. The last 6 weeks have been gut wrenching, and now her spirit has flown away to be with her ancestors. Rest easy お母さん (Oka san).

The stupidest people are in charge because we couldn’t prosecute a political crime because it would look too political.

I did an event in DC & there was a party for donors etc after. Was talking to 2 ppl & I said "Things are so bad." They said "No this is how it is. Things swing one way, then another. It's normal."
That's when I realized why Dems are toothless. They have no idea what this is. Frogs boiling in water.

I can't think of anyone currently running for office more dangerous than Andrew Cuomo. Not just for NYC but for the nation, because unfortunately NYC disproportionately affects the rest of the states. Bad politicians elsewhere don't have the same structural power. NYC: Do not vote for this man.

I love all the handwringing about Zohran’s lack of experience when a 19 year-old called Big Balls has recently been made a permanent federal employee with the title Senior Advisor at the GS-15 pay grade in the General Services Administration.

If 102-year-old Kurt Goldschmidt, a survivor of the Holocaust, says "no kings" you'd best get up and stand up for your rights before it's too late. Mr. Goldschmidt knows all too well what he's seeing in Trump's America. It was an honor to stand with him today. #NoKingsInAmerica

Major media are afraid to tell us that Trump is in the process of setting up a dictatorship. They know it — everyone closely following the news knows it — but they fear that telling such a stark truth would seem “partisan” and make them a target. Their failure to sound the alarm endangers us all.

I will never forget that the week Qatar decided to bribe the president of the United States with a plane, CNN decided to focus on the age and health of an ex-president.
Shame.

When the history of the chaotic tumult we are currently going through is written, I wouldn't be surprised if the main conclusion is: "Some very unserious people created some very serious consequences."

NEW: Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves has declared April 2025 as Confederate Heritage Month.
He did so at the behest of the Sons of Confederate Veterans, a neo-Confederate organization that espouses “Lost Cause” ideology, which whitewashes the role of slavery in the Civil War. 🧵
