Art has a special role to play in this moment. It can tell a story far more effectively than someone like me. Artists, please do your thing!

Just spoke with my CDC sources
They said a new COVID-19 wave is hitting NYC and LA.
Cases up~20% this week expected to rise further over the next month.
Exactly 4 months since the January 20 peak, the virus is resurging.

He’s talking about sending Americans to foreign prisons.
He’s signing executive orders to investigate former staff members who spoke out against him.
He’s defying the Supreme Court.

I want to ask those who voted to confirm him if they'd trust him to be their own primary care doctor. Would they make medical decisions for their own health based on his recommendations?

Last night, a small, local election turned the tide in my school district. After several years of our school board being dominated by a right wing extremist PAC, they lost the board majority. We aren't relaxing because the extremists will try again next year, but we are ready to keep working.

Sen. Cory Booker—a Black man—just BROKE segregationist Strom Thurmond's record for longest floor speech in US Senate history.
Thurmond spoke for 24 hours 18 minutes in opposition to civil rights.
Booker has now spoken for 24 hours and 19 minutes against Trump's abuses against Americans' rights.

Jeffrey Goldberg thinking he was being pranked and then realizing he was actually just in the war plans group chat is such a good microcosm of how it feels to be alive right now, everything seems fake until you realize it’s actually real and incredibly stupid

And this is why Schumer's strategy was asinine, and we should all be protesting like hell with Senate Dems.
Yes, a shutdown would have been rough. It wasn't a great choice. But they played directly into the hands of the Republicans.
Script coming shortly.

Two Republican senators told me tonight this vote shows they can execute the same strategy again — cut Democrats out of the negotiations on a gov’t funding bill, pass it thru the House, and expect Senate Dems to back down and not filibuster it.
“We liked it over here,” one said.

This. Shout this from the rooftops. Add in the propaganda that tricks voters into thinking this is the American way and you’ve got the MAGA playbook.
🧵I know what the Trump administration is doing to the country because they’ve already done it to rural America.
They stripped public schools of funding. They closed our hospitals. They sold family farms for parts. They let our infrastructure rot. And then they gerrymandered us to keep us quiet.

It is so disturbing to see my childhood best friend of 38 years completely turn on the values she was raised with & wrap her whole identity in the MAGA cult since 2020. Something broke in her and made her a mean, mocking person.
I was stunned by her shift in 2020 that I stepped back. 1/2

This.
The media is now obsessed with remorseful Trump voters, white voters, who are now losing their jobs or upset about inflation. I don’t want to hear from them. I want to hear from the Black voters who stood in line for hours, only to be turned away because their name was purged from the rolls.
