“The 3.5% rule is a concept in political science that states that when 3.5% of the population of a country protest nonviolently against a government, that government is likely to fall from power.”
If you can get to a No Kings rally this Saturday, please do.
AOC: And they are able to radicalize a generation of young boys in particular, away from healthy masculinity and into an insecure masculinity that requires the domination of others who are poorer, browner, darker, or a different gender than them.
A woman walking home alone was shot point-blank with “non-lethal” rounds fired by officers in Los Angeles. A neighbor filmed the assault and rushed to help only to be fired on and ordered back.
My thoughts on what’s going on in Los Angeles:
RFK Jr.‘s extreme anti-vax views — and his related conflicts of interest — were a huge problem during his confirmation process.
So he promised not to change the vaccine advisory panel.
Today, he fired every single expert on that panel. It's a public health disaster.
Jeffries: We will stand up today, stand up tomorrow, stand up this week, stand up next week, stand up this month, stand up next month, stand up this year, stand up next year, stand up at all times until we end this national nightmare and restore the American dream for every single person
This country is becoming unrecognizable. What we’re seeing is state-funded fear. We’ve warned people: keep filming, go live on social media so these moments are documented and shared. This wasn’t a case involving masked ICE agents—but that’s happening too.
Let’s be clear. When the President defies the Supreme Court, it is the role of Congress to remove him from office. Full stop.
Lots of good energy in Cincinnati today! Love seeing all the pics from around the country and around the world! ❤️
We were there too! Great turn out!
Thank you for this powerful act and your powerful words. This is the beacon we needed to know that we are not alone and, I hope, the call to action that will help to move us forward to protect our democracy. Get some rest tonight!
Oligarchs buying elections with million dollar giveaways. Hopefully people in Wisconsin won’t allow the South African to purchase a seat on your Supreme Court just like he bought the US federal government.
Statement from the director of the Voice of America (who has been placed on administrative leave).
An excerpt from the article describing how scientists are worried about retaliation from the Trump administration, and reporting that Acting Director Memoli has told everyone that any mRNA work/grants/collaborations must be reported up to RFK Jr. and to the White House.
Yet another extremely stupid and destructive move appears to be underway. Those people who advised me to calm down, that everything was actually going to work out fine, know what they can go do with themselves.

According to the attorney of one of the men shipped to El Salvador w/o due process, he was singled out by the Trump administration because they suspected his tattoos!

Our vote is our voice, and in this democracy it is sacred and should be accessible to all. Consider calling your senators and representative if this worries you, too.
I have so many concerns. The SAVE act going through congress is high on my list. This would suppress the vote of many, including married women who have changed their last name and those needing to register online, by requiring a birth certificate or passport at the time of voter registration.
I just called my reps to Oppose The SAVE Act (H.R. 22 / S.128) – A Voter Suppression Bill — you should too: 5calls.org/issue/save-a...

Here I react to the shameful encounter between American leaders and media and the Ukrainian president. No doubt there were more, but I saw five failures on our side: of hospitality, decency, democracy, strategy, and independence. Please watch and share.
