I just remembered a time when a coworker told me that doing yoga was satanic, because the poses are witchcraft.

Their words always felt so personal to me, everything about them inspired strength and resilience. I’ve given away so many of their books, and I am just so sad that we lost someone with such a gift. RIP Andrea Gibson, the force you were in life will forever leave a wake.

This administration and the GOP et al are trying to erase anything not straight and white and christian. I’m so tired of this bullshit.

A Democratic Mayor arrested.

A Democratic Congresswoman indicted.

A Democratic Senator tackled and detained.

A Democratic State Representative killed.

A Democratic State Representative in critical condition.

We can all see where this is going.

“A deranged maniac impersonated a police officer and killed lawmakers but if you’re an immigrant be sure you immediately comply with plain clothes people who won’t identify themselves telling you to get in a van”, what a fuckin country

HEY YOU FASCIST BOOTLICKER! If you want greater state collaboration with an administration hell bent on destroying democracy, you are in the wrong place. Go to Idaho, or better yet Russia. You should be ashamed of yourself, because you will say anything for your precious power.

The correct way to connect the authoritarian presence in LA and the Big Beautiful Bill is that the bill gives the government the resources to do this in dozens of cities at once. So if you don't like what's happening in LA, it's coming to your town if the bill passes.

HAPPENING NOW: A rally of protesters in Boston, MA in solidarity with LA and SIEU California President David Huerta, who was arrested over the weekend in LA.

We, the people, are standing up in a nonviolent manner, but the government continues & create chaos so they can execute their agenda.

Escalating to escalate.

"Roughly 500 Marines based out of the Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center in California have been mobilized ... and will join the National Guard troops that were activated ... over the weekend without the consent of California’s governor or the city’s mayor."

I keep staring at this picture
Feel the weight of common goals
The ever present struggle
For democracy, in full

There aren’t many that could bear the weight
This man was one of few
And as we shed our empathy
We lose our precious view
That all men are created equal
Freedom, our right to pursue

You are an inspiration, thank you Senator Murray!!!

It takes no imagination to consider how Trump would use the new authority he'd get from the House GOP slush fund bill to threaten and bully states across the country—you do what he says or he blows up your entire state budget. I will vote NO.

Capitulating and granting more access to DOGE is what they want. You can’t be this bad at this whole “Russia is playing you” thing.

It's incredibly hard to delight a Russian and somehow Trump did it

Higher prices on groceries, household appliances, construction equipment, and cars are coming as a result of the Trump administration’s needless tariff trade war.

Fuck these y’allqaeda motherfuckers im tired of this shit

Bill Burr, comedian, speaking

It’s not you vs. me, it’s us together… vs. them. We are all struggling while the very few at the top get the riches.

These “negotiations” are being brokered by 2 bad faith actors. You wouldn’t sign any deal for investment if you didn’t get a say in your equity, why should Ukraine?

Immediately after Zelenskyy called the deal extortion (as it is) Chester Molester had a fit and called him a dictator and aggressor.

Proud to show my support for democracy #nokings #notmypresidentday #democracy #protect #preserve #constitution

There is literally HIV being transmitted from mom to baby because of the illegal shutdown of US AID and now Trump’s State Department wants to spend 400 million dollars on Tesla cyber trucks. This is not about efficiency. It’s a smash and grab.

A poem by A.L.T. That reads as follows: Defend with pride Our Workers’ rights Make the wealthy Feel our plight Feel our sorrow When we might Get sick and must Start working nights All to pay for Private flights And exclusive chefs While our belts stay tight Greedy apes take What’s in their sight And they’ll keep taking Unless we fight.

It’s time we realize that our fellow Americans are not our enemy, rather it is greed personified in a few individuals who have gamed the system and are now using that power to bully and victimize all of us. #workersunited #redorblue #democracymatters

Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.
