“From the very beginning, nothing has been guaranteed about democracy in America. Every generation has had to defend it, protect it, preserve it, choose it…that’s what democracy is. It’s a choice, a decision of the people, by the people…for the people.”

When we say “tax the rich,” we mean nesting-doll yacht rich. For-profit prison rich. Betsy DeVos, student-loan-shark rich.

Trick-the-country-into-war rich. Subsidizing-workforce-w-food-stamps rich.

Because THAT kind of rich is simply not good for society, & it’s like 10 people.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

When simulation becomes the norm, it weakens the human capacity for discernment. As a result, our social bonds close in upon themselves, forming self-referential circuits that no longer expose us to reality. We thus come to live within bubbles, impermeable to one another. Feeling threatened by anyone who is different, we grow unaccustomed to encounter and dialogue. In this way, polarization, conflict, fear and violence spread. What is at stake is not merely the risk of error, but a transformation in our very relationship with truth.

The craziest thing about Trump firing artillery shells over California that damaged JD Vance's motorcade is it's not even the closest he's come to killing his own VP.

[Seattle Police Department @SeattlePD]

The #NoKings march is now over a mile long and the tail hasn’t even left Seattle Center.

[Brian Krassenstein @krassenstein]

I think this thread tells you everything you need to know about JD Vance and the way he views law and order.

Pathetic. He should be impeached for this tweet.

@sumlenny Elections in the village of Potemkin on a country-wide scale

@GoatBiggie @GregJKrieg @ettingermentum Jerry Brown did it in Oakland. And then he became governor again.

@andrewcuomo @ZohranKMamdani You are such an embarrassment. Last time you ran for governor, I left that section of the ballot blank. NYC doesn’t need sleazy politics from a sleazy politician like you.

"While VOA’s coverage emphasized free speech, human rights and open democratic discourse, Chinese media is focused on development success stories, economic cooperation and social stability"

[Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray]

I'm going to try and communicate with my Republican colleagues in a new way.

[to repeat without repeating @sharpkmcm]

@PattyMurray How can I follow @RealPattyMurray!?!

Love this! So proud you are my senator!

Keep going—you’ve been so strong these last months, thank you!

@peterjukes More bluntly: hey, AI, artifact this

[Seattle Police Department @SeattlePD]

The tail of the #NoKingsProtest has just left Cal Anderson. That’s over 1.5 miles full of people and not a single report of property damage.

[Wu Tang is for the Children @WUTangKids]

MAGAs are big mad and calling for a Walmart boycott 🤣 because Christy Walton, Walmart heiress, is paying for this full page #NoKings ad in the NYTimes

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

This is a huge victory for people power.

It's time for the national Democratic Party to follow Arizona's lead and ban Big Money in Dem primaries.

There’s no way the party can speak for the majority of working people in America if it's beholden to corporate interests.

@dieworkwear Yup, same thing in 2003 NYC blackout. Everyday people jumping in to direct traffic at like every intersection, & NYC has a lot of intersections. Really cool.

@dieworkwear My mom came over as a very young child from London, England 100 yrs ago. Her dad had come first & in the meantime the new quota system meant the family was deported. They lived in Canada ~5 yrs waiting & he crossed the Ambassador Bridge each day to work in Detroit as a tile mason

@Acyn Corruption in plain sight is still corruption

One of Trump’s hallmarks is committing crime in plain sight

[Armand Domalewski @ArmandDoma]

Genuinely hilarious that the Trump backlash effect has now elected liberals in Canada, Australia, and…the Vatican
