Nature is my religion, earth is my church. If we don’t save the earth nothing else matters. Buddhist meditator. No DM’s please. You DM me, I block you.

FYI: Blanche rescinded the ORDER establishing the slush fund, not the underlying “settlement.” The settlement says any changes must be agreed to by ALL parties, not just Todd. This “rescission” isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on.

Six congressmen bought between $83,000 to $245,000 in SpaceX stock just before its IPO: -Jared Moskowitz -Gil Cisneros -Dan Meuser -John McGuire -William Timmons -John James Five serve on committees whose work impacts SpaceX's business. We must ban members of Congress from trading stock.

America: We can't afford groceries and gas, and we have explosive diarrhea after we eat parasitic lettuce, and we don't have health care, and we're dying in an illegal war in Iran, and we want the Epstein Files! Republicans, please help us! Republicans: Uh, um, er, uh, let's grill Fauci!

Republicans are trying to make the news cycle about anything other than Donald Trump and his incredibly unpopular domestic and foreign policy agenda. That’s why they set up this Fauci hearing. And everyone is taking the bait

I'm pretty neutral on whatever might happen with municipal grocery stores but I will say the way some of you are reacting like Mamdani launched a siege against Gristedes and now commies are in the aisles handing out apples & soup while singing the internationale should make you go outside for a bit

Dr. Anita Patel speaks about the conditions she witnessed at the Dilley detention facility: “I am not here as a politician or an activist. I am here as a doctor… We are not just harming the children inside detention. We are traumatizing an entire generation of children.” #SheShed

BREAKING: In my lawsuit against Todd Blanche for the Epstein Files, Judge Sullivan has just ordered Blanche to produce, in camera (in chambers), the UNREDACTED emails & documents, and Blanche must bring documentation supporting his representations the DOJ’s redactions are what he claims they are.

Ossoff: "Each day his allies are fewer & even they no longer deny his corruption, the obscene self-dealing while he plunges nation deeper into reckless war while he rakes in billions & builds himself ballroom & prepares again to attack elections. Let's be clear, one man attempted fraud in GA: Trump"

Mitch McConnell hasn’t been seen or heard from in 6 weeks(!) in the hospital. Yet he still has a job, still getting paid, and getting unlimited world class healthcare. The man who voted against a living wage, against universal healthcare, and against guaranteed paid leave—is now getting all three.

A corrupt conman, a convicted felon, a pathological liar, and a shameless traitor walk into the White House Correspondents' Dinner. The maître d’ says, “Your table is ready, President Trump.”

Trump: "The Democrats are gonna terminate the filibuster as soon as they have a chance and then they're gonna approve DC and Puerto Rico as states. They get 4 more senators, 12 more congressmen, like 40 electoral votes ... you don't want to see me cry."

In 1969, the Black Panthers launched their legendary Free Breakfast Program for Children. In a 1969 Senate hearing, the federal school lunch program administrator admitted, "I don’t think [the gov't] wanted to be outdone by a community-based organization, especially the Panthers." Learn more here:

In 1969, three years after Huey Newton and Bobby Seale founded the Black Panther Party for Self Defense, the Panthers launched into community services, including the highly successful Free Breakfast P...

It's right to be outraged. Just as it's right to be outraged when ICE guns someone down. But I also want us to remember all of the people dying due to deplorable conditions in prisons, jails, and immigration detention centers, bc they are also being murdered by the state.

Americans are relearning the lesson we learned during the Gilded Age of the late 1890s, when robber barons ran the government and the economy for their own benefit: Oligarchy is incompatible with the common good. I'm hopeful we'll respond with a new progressive movement.
