Wow. As we used to say in the movement against campus sexual violence that made waves 2013-2017, you literally cannot make this shit up. It’s on a whole other level of cruelty.

80% of young Americans want "major changes" or "complete reform" to our political system.

If we want to mobilize more young people for democracy, we should mobilize them against the political system and status quo.

Winning any debate starts by setting the terms and one key way to do that is to pick for what you'll be attacked.

Welcome, Gov. Hochul, to sudden popularity boost.

It's astonishing how wedded people are to the idea that refusing to name what's happening is how we overcome it.

Cannot say enough how in 2024 disaffected & conflicted voters kept telling us in focus groups: "in 2020 you told us to turn out to 'protect our freedoms.' we did & then all this [dobbs, anti-voter laws, econ hardship] happened anyway. now you're telling us the same thing?"

Well put.

Excited for the day when Americans follow their lead.

May all the tyrants fall. May we win a lasting freedom for all.

I've studied so many concentration camps through history that held vulnerable people in just this kind of crowded squalor. You demonize people, you demand more arrests, this is what you get. It already has its own budget and its own momentum, and is on track to go much further, unless we stop it.

Hope is the word of the day. Here's hoping Magyar has figured out that authoritarians require shaming & blaming some "other" to divide & conquer & that the public outcry after Orban criminalized Pride helped power today's victory.

As we await Hungary's election both for the liberation of its people and as portent for our own, let us recall the role that ridicule, resistance and refusal has played. Yes, elections can be turning points but only if movements make them so.

25th amendment. Impeachment. I will support any avenue to remove Donald Trump from office. We cannot leave this man in charge of America’s nuclear weapons as he threatens to end an entire civilization. And Congress must not fund this reckless administration.

Republicans silent as Democrats call on US cabinet to oust Trump over Iran Lawmakers call for use of 25th amendment after president brazenly threatens to commit war crimes in Iran

The entire GOP is complicit in wishing genocide on an entire nation

NOW: B52 bombers are literally in the air on their way to Iran and hundreds of thousands of Iranians are in the streets waving flags and surrounding bridges & power plants.

Difficult to imagine this has any precedent in modern warfare.

The criminal president ratcheting up crimes with Cabinet & much of a Congress capitulating.

Meanwhile, Iranian people putting their lives on the line, telling us with their bodies they believe we will see their humanity and courage & find some of our own.

Speaker Johnson, we are calling on you to bring the House back to DC IMMEDIATELY!

The Cabinet needs to invoke the 25th Amendment. But Congress can’t just sit on its hands and wait for that to happen when the President is threatening to commit war crimes TONIGHT.

Congress is so funny. The world could be blown to smithereens and half of them would be like not sure this is a kitchen table issue.

Armageddon is terrible, but our only other option was diversity trainings at work.

I'm not sure how you can be against removing this man from office right now. What will it take? A nuke being dropped? It's too late then. The purpose of impeachment and the 25th Amendment is to prevent that type of thing from happening, not just to react to it.

This is how to do it. Sen Chris Murphy also tells me:

"Everybody in that chain of command has to think hard about whether they want to be part of the execution of that order."

He predicts bombing Iran's power plants/bridges will kill thousands at the outset. 2/

newrepublic.com/article/2087...

Sen. Chris Murphy and Ted Lieu have both reminded members of the military chain of command that they're legally obligated to refuse to follow illegal orders.

That's really good and important.

The President is openly threatening genocide. A crime against humanity. He must be removed from office.

The 25th Amendment must be invoked. If not, Congress has to do our damn job. Speaker Johnson, call us into session. War powers & impeachment. Remove this man from office.

We could be looking at one of the worst humanitarian crises in history tonight.

Are White Men Missing Out?: Differences in Friendship Closeness by Gender and Ethnoracial Identity - Sex Roles Sex Roles - Research has consistently found that boys’ and men’s friendships are less close, intimate, supportive, and satisfying than girls’ and women’s...

Fascinating new study about men’s friendships.

There’s a lot of evidence here that the “male loneliness crisis” is actually a white, wealthy man problem. Other men are building friendships with similar depth to women’s friendships.

The many can defeat the money when we absolutely refuse to take the billionaire bait and be divided.

Italian voters reject Giorgia Meloni’s plan to overhaul judiciary Referendum result could tarnish PM’s reputation and make winning next year’s general election more challenging

Let's take our good news wherever we can get it. Bravo to Italian campaigners who drove impressive turnout for a seemingly arcane issue and defeated a dangerously popular Prime Minister trying to keep herself in permanent power.

Lake Tahoe isn’t sure where it’s power will come from after the next ski season The area’s longtime power supplier, NV Energy, will cut off the region next year. It has said data centers are driving “unprecedented” demand.

Squeezed by data centers' relentless demand for electricity, a Nevada energy company just said it's going to stop supplying energy to Tahoe. The city has a year to figure out how to meet 75% of its energy needs without it.
