I will always fight for democracy. For social justice. For my own and my kids’ future and LGBTQI rights. Love conquers all. Tweets are my own.

@ATRightMovies This is the correct answer

Honored to have the endorsement of @TeamPelosi! Your confidence in our campaign fuels our determination to make life better for all Marylanders. Let's turn this support into action at the ballot box!

@judgeluttig I hear you Judge. The Lady justices are correct - the precedent that this sets—basically giving presidential candidates a pass on insurrectionist behavior—is unsupportable. The law office historians stooping so low to help TFG.

NEW: Rep. Jamie Raskin just announced that he & his Democratic colleagues are already working on “reviving” a bill that disqualifies insurrectionists from running for office after the Supreme Court punted the issue to Congress, saying "I'm working on it – today."

[Jim Sciutto @jimsciutto]

Here’s the thing: Trump supporters claim the world sees him as strong. Here’s the former leader of one of America’s closest allies saying the opposite.

[Governor Tony Evers @GovEvers]

Yes, we can.
Yes, we did.

Thank you, President @BarackObama!

BREAKING: WI Gov. Tony Evers (D) breaks a Republican gerrymander, signs new legislative maps into law:

"Wisconsin, when I promised fair maps, I damn well meant it ... People should get to choose their elected officials, not the other way around.”

[Governor Tony Evers @GovEvers]

Good morning, Wisconsin!

After a decade of having some of the most gerrymandered maps in America, yesterday, I signed fair maps for Wisconsin—the first time in over 50 years fair legislative maps were enacted by a governor rather than through the courts.

It was amazing.

[Ben Wikler @benwikler]

NEW: California GOP rich guy Eric Hovde is running for Senate… against @TammyBaldwin in Wisconsin.

He’s being sent to Wisconsin from Orange County by Mitch McConnell and the megadonors in Washington to help pass a national abortion ban.

RT to help spread the word!

The free world is sitting on €360 billion of Putins money parked in their bank accounts. It would be a crime to give this money back to this killer in Moscow. So Give this money to Ukraine. Now. You will feel good in doing so.

[Kate Spears @iamkatespears]

@judgeluttig Helpful detail about a simple idea: bc states are charged with administering elections, they are also charged with keeping insurrectionists off the ballot. The federal court system, including @SCOTUS, don’t have the visibility or capacity to police elections. So, states must.

[Kate Spears @iamkatespears]

Agree. And that includes the US.

[Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63]

This destruction, Russia's wonton use of missiles and bombs against Ukrainian civilians, is enabled by all the Western leaders who wake up every day and refuse to stop it. They cannot feign helplessness; they are making a choice. Every single day. Shame.

[Anne Applebaum @anneapplebaum]

Today is the annual day of remembrance for the Holodomor, the Ukrainian famine. 90 years ago Stalin sent activists to confiscate food from Ukrainian peasants. Millions died.
To mark this day, Putin sent dozens of drones to attack Kyiv. Like Stalin, Putin wants to erase Ukraine.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

They sought to humiliate us, wear us out, and annihilate us. They failed. They wanted to conceal the truth from us and cover up terrible crimes. They failed. They wanted to confuse, deceive, and cause us to lose our faith, forget, and thus forgive. They failed. And today, with deep sorrow and respect, we honor the memory of millions of our people—millions of victims of famines.

The tragedy for which we still weep and keep silent today, so silent that the entire world should hear it. This is the sound of Ukrainian pain.

We are grateful to all of the countries who have chosen justice. Recognized it officially. Acknowledged the Holodomor as a crime against people and against Ukraine. All those who call things by their names.

The world must unite and condemn the crimes of the past. The world must unite and stop the crimes of today.

Evil was not stopped. There was no atonement. We are stopping it right now. Ukraine will endure. Ukraine will not fade away. Ukraine will preserve itself and the truth.

DOWN GOES NO. 1‼️

No. 4 Marquette becomes just the third team in the last 40 years to beat UCLA and Kansas in back-to-back games 😮

[Kyle Griffin @kylegriffin1]

Breaking: The United Auto Workers said its members have ratified new contracts at all of the Big Three automakers — bringing raises of at least 25% over 4½ years and reinstating cost-of-living adjustments.

It marks one of the labor movement's biggest wins in decades.

[James Carter IV @JECarter4]

I hate that my grandfather’s name is in Trump’s mouth at all, but I am not offended. For a Democrat, being mocked by Trump is high praise.

[Republican Accountability @AccountableGOP]

Chris Christie: “If you’re willing to stand on a debate stage in front of millions of Americans and raise your hand and say, ‘I support him, even if he was a convicted felon,’ what credibility do you have to talk to the rest of the world about moral clarity?”

Great Climate Alert:

Last week, Portugal ran on renewable energy for six days in a row.

Wind, solar, and hydropower energy produced a record amount of electricity for 149 hours, providing more power than the country used during that same time period.
