On April 7, a gunman in an OK school was stopped when the school's principal tackled the man as he entered the lobby. No hesitation, no 'waiting for backup'. He saw his students in danger, and put himself in the way to stop it. In a world constantly on fire, we need more people like Principal Moore.
Happy Easter to those who celebrate! We had a peaceful Easter Sunday; I hope you all did, too.
The use of conversion therapy is nothing short of torture. It is not therapy and has never worked. No amount of organized abuse will make someone change their sexual orientation. It will only make them hate the people who put them through it, and leave lasting shame and scars.
If you're born in the U.S., you're an American. That's what the 14th Amendment says. This was even debated when originally established, and it was intended to apply to immigrants, too. The Constitution matters. Trump, who has committed multiple felonies, is trying to rewrite the law. Despicable.
Happy St. Patrick's Day! Wishing you all the luck of the Irish.
Trump has spent around $12 billion so far on his illegal war with Iran. His war-mongering fascist regime is wasting taxpayers' money to distract from Trump's child abuse history in the Epstein files. Committing mass murder for personal gain is just reprehensible.
March 3 is the Texas Democratic primary. It's hard because both Jasmine Crockett and James Talarico are great, but Crockett is a proven voice of integrity in the Senate against this regime in ways that can't be replaced. Talarico could serve Texas well in other ways, but Crockett deserves the vote.
The passing of Neil Sedaka is a huge loss. As we cherish his many hit songs, it's important to recognize how his songwriting from the 50s to the 70s had a significant influence on American pop songwriting even today. He will be missed.
It becomes more embarrassing everyday the lack of action from the DOJ to prosecute those associated with the numerous heinous crimes in the Epstein files. There is no excuse for this inaction except complicity. They're aware, they just benefit from the cover-up.
Anyone shocked by the newest reveal that there was redacted evidence of Trump abusing a minor in the Epstein files would also be shocked to find water in the ocean. The guy is an actual demon. These victims need real justice.
Happy Valentine's day! Given that the world is on fire, joy is an act of radical resistance. My wife and I ordered our favorite local pizza and spent the evening enjoying each other's company with our cats. Go hug the person you love.
Trump's voter suppression bill needs 60 votes in the Senate to advance. There's no path forward for it. Trump threatened an executive order establishing the same requirements, but EOs do not decide how people vote. The Constitution and Congress do. The US isn't run like a glorified corporation.
The average Democratic constituent wants ICE dissolved and off the streets. No amount of negotiation can fix a system that despicable.
To say there are horrors beyond what could have been imagined in the Epstein files release goes without saying. They will try to point to the uncorroborated parts to hide the overwhelming truths. Don't let them ignore this atrocity.
In the wake of continued tragedies in our country, we must take a moment to acknowledge Black History Month. It is more important than ever to elevate Black voices, as it is clear that without them, the darkest parts of history are doomed to repeat. #BlackHistoryMonth
America came of age with the civil rights movement. Martin Luther King Jr. Day is a federal holiday because of that. While Trump's fascist regime and its corrupt DOJ are dismantling civil rights and promoting white supremacy, it's important to remember who we are as a nation. #MLK
ICE has gained numerous surveillance systems. Historically, once technology is granted to federal agencies, it's almost impossible to take away. Anyone who tries to avoid the debate over abolishing ICE needs to understand that it's the only option to stop its rampant illegal operations.
On Fox News, Bondi ranted about prosecutors who told her they wanted to resign, saying she "fired" them all. Her lack of impulse control likely made them eligible for unemployment benefits. Such idiocy. At least there is some hope that the stupidity of Trump's regime could collapse from the inside.
Trump's attack on the Federal Reserve doesn't only affect Americans. It affects everyone who invests in USD. Many investors use USD assets because they are seen as safe and liquid. Once the Federal Reserve is politicized, global trust in the USD will fall. China will gain influence as a result.
These horrifying ICE operations are not new in America. If you study history, you will notice that they use the same tactics as slave patrols. Trump's America is repeating a long-documented history of oppression. People would do well to remember that.
The POC who work at ICE should realize they will never become white. They will never receive white privilege by proximity. Cooperating with Trump's racist regime will never make them white in the eyes of racists. They are just tools and pawns of white supremacists. Pathetic.
The murder of Renee Nicole Good is not just a case of a white woman being killed. It's the killing of an LGBTQIA+ mother and wife. It's important to know that Trump's violence is always against minorities. ICE knows its targets.
In 2025, Fetterman and Shaheen voted for 11 out of 22 of Trump's nominees, the highest support among Democratic senators. The GOP's lowest voting record is 18, held by McConnell. Compared to Warren's 1 and Schumer's 2, their horrifying voting records should not just be forgotten.
The House passed the extension of ACA subsidies, but it still needs to pass the Senate. Call the GOP senators, and don't forget to also call the 8 Democratic senators who caved during the government shutdown. Let them know they cannot screw us over again.
This moment will decide if there's a future presidential run for Tim Walz. This is the moment he should deliver a very public rebuke to Trump's fascist regime, like the map fight by Newsom. He needs to prove he will stand in defense of his citizens against the tyrant.
The January 6 insurrection should never be forgotten. It was an act of terrorism against our constitutional process, our representatives, our senators, and the very dignity of this country. We are not angry enough.
Hilton is a private business. Private businesses have every right to refuse service to government officials if they so choose. Government officials attacking Hilton for not receiving special treatment shows how this country is trying to model Soviet-style government control over private business.
The reason for Trump's illegal military action in Venezuela is his private business interests in oil. Maduro being a dictator is not an issue for him. Don't credit this malicious grifter with benevolent reasons for his illegal actions. He only weaponizes the military for himself.
Today marks the beginning of 2026. May this year bring accountability for Trump's fascist regime, and justice for all those harmed by his vindictive agenda. Happy New Year, and may this year be better than the last.
Nixon's AG John N. Mitchell was only convicted after the regime weakened. He used the DOJ to protect Nixon, obstruct justice, and target political opponents. Pam Bondi is doing the same thing for her cult leader Trump. He'll sacrifice her before this ends.
