It should be illegal for law enforcement to wear masks and not show ID.
This makes it too easy to impersonate law enforcement and murder people in their homes.

60% of American households can’t afford a minimal quality of life.
Meanwhile, the 19 richest households saw their wealth increase by $1 trillion in 2024 — the biggest one-year increase ever.
Our problem isn't a lack of resources.
Our problem is ever-expanding inequality.

Sotomayor’s support for the aggressive pro-democracy movement is so important at this critical time. She understands that while we must bring difficult cases and be willing to lose, we must always fight to win. And by lending her voice she affirmed that it is “our time to stand up and be heard.”
Justice Sotomayor’s Message to Lawyers: Stand Up, Fight and Win
In an era when judges are often assessed by their commitment to democracy, Justice Sonia Sotomayor stands as a stalwart in the pro-democracy camp.

Stephen Lynch, aiming to be top Dem on the Oversight Cmte, blew up at a constituent who asked him to oppose the GOP.
"I get to decide that. I get to decide that. I get to decide that. I'm elected. I get to decide that. You wanna decide that? You need to run for Congress, okay? I get to decide that"

The US health care system is broken & wildly expensive.
The function of a health care system is not to provide billions in profits for insurance & drug companies. It is to provide quality care as a human right.
The time is NOW to pass Medicare for All.

Please stop mocking people for talking about elections like “oh isn’t it cute you think there’ll be another election.” You’re discouraging people from voting. Which is exactly what Trump wants you to do.

Per a family member in East Tennessee who works at a BBQ joint, the Trumpers at work are MAD about Trump and Vance’s attack on Zelenskyy + the mass firing of veterans who work for the federal government.
So that’s a data point

Sometimes it feels like I’m going crazy, because there is something that is right in front of our faces, has been for years, and nobody of consequence ever says it:
Donald Trump works for Vladimir Putin.
How much more proof does anyone need? And what is anybody going to do about it?

Donald Trump tried to illegally shut down funding for programs that millions of people rely on.
Community health centers, Head Start programs, and charities are still having trouble accessing funds.
Meanwhile, the taxpayers are paying for Trump's trip to the Super Bowl.

I think an American flag created entirely by black men at the Superbowl is one of the best pieces of art I've seen in my lifetime. I hope it actually killed some folks. And I hope it finally closes the fucking book on the argument that we shouldn't use the flag to fight the God damned fascists.

This has been two weeks of constant events that are more dangerous than January 6th or, I’d absolutely argue, even 9/11, and it is a damning indictment of American media that so many publications and reporters are too cowardly, too docile, to act like it.
Yes. Meanwhile the rest of mainstream media is largely acting like this has been a mildly worrisome two weeks, not the greatest scandal and danger to America that any of us has ever lived through.
Is it just me or has WIRED been dogwalking the rest of the media on this story

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.
