This👇🏼. AOC is the only one stating it clearly and plainly. Do I have any faith that the American people will ever elect a woman president someday? No. I hope I’m proven wrong.

Just because.

Every decision about military escalation has consequences at home. When our leaders act without a plan, our families pay the price, which is why military experience matters so much in Congress. (1/2)

I suspect the Pope sounds "woke" to many Christian conservatives because the US is steeped in prosperity theology, where the point of worship is to deliver health and wealth to believers. Thus, "feed the hungry" and "show mercy for the poor" sounds needlessly political and "woke."

Kotek signs sweeping immigrant justice package expanding school, healthcare protections in Oregon Gov. Tina Kotek held a ceremonial bill signing Thursday morning for a package of immigrant justice laws at the Immigrant and Refugee Community Organization in northeast Portland.

Way to go Oregon! Gov. Tina Kotek signed a sweeping immigrant justice package yesterday eight new laws covering schools, hospitals, workplaces, courts, and law enforcement. This is what state-level resistance looks like.

Trump's illegal war of choice is making your life more expensive. Republicans in Congress must join us in voting to end it.

Iran attempting cyberattacks against critical U.S. infrastructure, officials say The Iranian cyber activity comes as President Trump threatens to target Iran's critical infrastructure, particularly its bridges and power plants.

We’re at war and Republicans in Congress refuse to fund CISA, our nation’s cybersecurity agency.
 
Since he was sworn in, Trump has cut CISA’s staff by a third and has tried to cut their funding.
 
Clearly they don’t care about your safety.

Rep. Tom Kean asks Homeland Security chief to give 'deeper look' at Roxbury ICE jail plan • New Jersey Monitor Rep. Kean told Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin that he seeks “a workable solution” to the controversial Roxbury migrant jail plan

Roxbury leaders made it clear they don't want this facility. Even the Republican-led council criticized Tom Kean Jr. for failing to advocate for the community.

Weeks later, what's his solution? A meaningless letter.

Kean Jr. never fights for us. I will.

Trump is unfit to be Commander-in-Chief. I support his removal from office, whether it be through the 25th Amendment or impeachment in Congress.

The more I think about the 70,000 ICE incarcerated without due process the more I think we are underreacting. People are literally trapped inside for profit prisons. We need to do something.

This is so well done. 👌

Tom Kean Jr. was just named one of the most corrupt politicians in the country. I’m not surprised, and neither should you. He’s shown us time and time again he’s unfit for the office he holds. We’ll replace him in November.

You can't talk about the surrender of Robert E. Lee's Confederate army at Appomattox Court House #OTD in 1865 without also mentioning the fact that roughly 4,600 African Americans, who lived in Appomattox County gained their freedom that day. #CivilWarMemory

Spanish PM Pedro calls for the IMMEDIATE ARREST of Netanyahu
He said: "Netanyahu launched the worst possible unjustified attack against Lebanon. His contempt for life and international law is intolerable. He is a criminal that must be arrested immediately.” #cdnpoli

We are living through a fundamental shift in global politics.

The anxiety Americans feel is a symptom of a country that senses its own fragility—both at home and abroad—and we need to chart a way forward that is grounded in reality. 1/2

I love this spot. Wish the light and sky were this perfect when I was there.

Trump is NOT fit to be Commander-in-Chief and everybody knows it. He must be removed.
 
Whether it's the 25th Amendment or Republicans in Congress standing up, now is the time.

Inconceivable!

My thoughts about the latest on Trump’s war in Iran.

A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nation’s people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else.

We mustn’t let this war do so.

Trump may have backed down for now, but he’s shown how unhinged he is by threatening the death of a “whole civilization.”

I’m heading back to DC to try and get answers for the American people. Congress needs to return to the Capitol immediately and vote to end this war.

interestingly, the centrality of patriarchal masculinity to trump both reinforces the racism of his movement — the two are tied together, given that reactionary forms of white masculinity in this country defines themselves against racial others — and helps him overcome it to win black and brown men.

Wonderful perspective. I wish I had had the presence of mind to get my lens down this close to the rocks when taking photos looking across the water from Elgol harbor.
