Walz: The president said it's a bunch of radicals. You're damn right we've been radicalized. Radicalized by compassion, radicalized by decency, radicalized by due process, radicalized by democracy.

Fixing what is wrong in our country will not happen over night but rather with conversation, community and just showing up. Thank you @bendoregon.bsky.social for being out there today. @neatoday.bsky.social #nokings
Incredible morning gathering with my neighbors to watch these monks who with determination have walked for months because they believe in Peace. I believe in it as well. It starts with us.
In this moment of pain, our union stands with Minnesota, holding space for grief and demanding accountability.
Tonight I continue to stand with my friends, members and community members in Minnesota. For Alex, for Liam, for Renee. We cannot have our government attacking our own citizens and lying about it. Enough is enough. #iceoutschools
It is time to take a stand. For my community. For my kids. For Liam. For Minnesota. For our country. #ICEoutschools @neatoday.bsky.social @educationmn.bsky.social
Shame on this administration. Their latest attempt to dismantle the Dept of Education—during American Education Week—is illegal and immoral. Not only do they want to starve and steal from our students—they want to rob them of their futures. Anyone who claims to care about children should be livid.
Super proud of my friend @nadinesmith.bsky.social for taking on this role. We need Nadine’s leadership!
Soon I’ll be taking the helm at Color of Change, the nation’s largest racial justice organization with major online impact. I am deeply proud of the work at Equality Florida and confident in the team carrying it forward. Please share the news and my excitement. colorofchange.org/blog/interna...
Thank you @pelosi.house.gov for your lifelong dedication to caring for the children of our country and reminding little girls that there are no limits on what they can dream.
The time is now! Our peaceful protest will reach millions today and make sure everyone knows that we are pushing back and not ready to surrender our country. #nokings
This is important. Pay attention. Make sure everyone has this. This is out of the authoritarian playbook. Militarize the capital city. We need to fight back.
The next 45 days are going to be a time when everybody in DC needs to know our rights and how to assert them. Here are five important things for everyone to know while DC is under occupation 🧵
As our kids head back to school, it’s important to help raise up the impact of this administration on them. Thanks @neapresident.bsky.social #momsky time.com/7308619/trum...
Trump’s Tax Bill Will Starve Public Schools. Kids are Next
An estimated 18 million kids could lose access to free school meals because of Trump's tax bill.

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.
Appreciate the thoughtfulness our Board of Directors took in handling this decision. There is no place for anti-semitism. @neatoday.bsky.social
Tonight, NEA’s Board of Directors voted not to adopt a proposal that would have, for the first time, dictated who we engage with and what resources we share with our members. Read my full statement on this vote here: bit.ly/3ID3BmE
Time to stand up for our students and communities. #momsky www.nea.org/about-nea/me...

@mkusler.bsky.social - yet another reason why we fight
People in wheelchairs are getting arrested right now in the Russell Senate Office Building in DC. They showed up to tell Congress not to cut their Medicaid, because they cant afford health care without it. If you look closely you can see the zip ties on their hands. #WeWontGetOverLosingMedicaid
They’re planning on building a detention center for migrants in the middle of the fetid swamps of Florida. If you think this is something new, the first internment camp they sent me and my family to in 1942 was a barbed wire prison called Rohwer. It was located in the swamps of Arkansas.
This has to stop. Students, educators, and all our community members deserve to live in peace and safety. Our hearts go out to the Hortman and Hoffman families and all who care for them.
The news about the targeted attacks on lawmakers Melissa Hortman and John Hoffman and their spouses is heartbreaking. My prayers are with them all. Politically-motivated violence is unacceptable and an attack on our democracy. We cannot let fear win. We must continue our fight for a better future.
Last night, Capitol Police arrested roughly 60 veterans and their family members outside the U.S. Capitol. The group had gathered to hold a peaceful sit-in on the Capitol steps, but police intentionally set up a barrier of bike racks to prevent them from demonstrating.
ICE is going to parks in Los Angeles and kidnapping nannies who are caring for small children The children are witnessing these kidnappings and being held in custody until their parents are contacted Women and children in parks
Today is a day to stand arm in arm in peaceful protest with our communities. Find somewhere to join in. www.nokings.org King free since 1776. Stay safe out there.
If you’re undocumented, don’t march tomorrow. Stay home. Let the rest of us get this one. Solidarity ✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽✊🏼
BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.” They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.
