Israel has just murdered Anas. He had 1.5m followers and was reporting the truth of their actions. So they put a missile into his tent. His last post was just over an hour ago. They allow no journalists in and murder all those who remain. Fuck Israel

An endorsement from the largest local union of professional musicians in the world sounds a little different than the others but the meaning is the same: solidarity forever. Thank you @Local_802_AFM!

.@danpfeiffer gave me the best political advice anyone ever has. Obama won because he was prepared to lose. You have to stand for something. Zohran stood for his values and something new, and he inspired many!

Tyrants view educated citizens as their greatest enemy. Slaveholders stopped the enslaved from learning to read. Nazis burned books. Dictators censor media. That’s why Trump is attacking education, science, museums, and the arts – to prevent us from learning. It's Fascism 101.

If you are too afraid to use your voice, make way for someone with more courage. This is not a time for small people.

I had a strange moment in 2022. A colleague smeared me as a “groomer.” I gave a speech. It went viral. But what my mom said stuck with me: “This is great – but it doesn’t mean much unless it inspires people to do what you did.” I received letters from all over the country:…

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up. What’s most clear to me tonight is that this is just the beginning, that Americans across this country, no matter…

Americans voted for Trump because they wanted to take a wrecking ball to the status quo. We need to respect that, but we also need to be clear: Trump has no plan for a better system on the other side, where workers are better paid, have greater retirement security, and pay lower…

It is not easy to keep myself from being dragged into the rushing currents of anger and grief that are running through my heart right now. Others must feel the same. Yet these very feelings press me forward into action. Meet me there.

The battle of our day is no longer about Democrats versus Republicans or left versus right. The choice right now is democracy or dictatorship. And we're sliding faster than I ever thought possible into the latter. Everyone must choose which side they’re on. Now.

Wisdom from W.H.Auden (b otd 1907): We are all here on earth to help others; what on earth the others are here for I don't know. Good can imagine Evil; but Evil cannot imagine Good. Now is the age of anxiety. In times of joy, all of us wished we possessed a tail we could wag.
