This is the level of discourse that the U.S. Senate has been missing for far too long.

This is Tommy. Tommy had a question about my allegiances. Listen to the end to hear about his.

@velshi.com is ending his program by giving us the most eloquent, passionate definition of patriotism I've ever heard. It's exactly what we need to hear right now. At a moment when it's easy to feel hopeless, one person is enough. It has always been enough. Thank you for choosing America, Ali.

Disney/ABC have a responsibility to refuse to participate in corruption. Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow. People have power. Ask Target

Dear journalists: The President has not fired Lisa Cook. The President is *trying* to illegally fire her. Your words shape people’s reality. Please be accurate in your reporting.

Trump just committed yet another crime that should (but won't) result in his immediate impeachment and removal. Also, he's in the Epstein Files.

Why is not Trump’s letter a federal crime- lying to Congress -given its false claims re DC crime?And why shd he be immune from suit for this when anyone else wd be prosecuted. Read Trump’s Letter to Congress About D.C. Police Department www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

My friend @kellylynnedang.bsky.social has written something powerful and heartbreaking and sadly necessary. There are so many awful things happening right now. The media likes to decide which ones deserve our attention. This story deserves so much more.

Wrote this piece for Harpers Bazaar about the life, legacy, and hate-induced murder of Jonathan Joss through the eyes of being a Two-Spirit Native person this Pride. I hope you take a read. For Him. For all of us. 🪶

Raskin: You are not our king, and we are not your subjects. We will never be your subjects. All of us born here on this land are citizens and your executive order is nothing but bad graffiti on the Constitution, and we're going to wash it off today

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

Just a reminder that Trump/DOJ continuing to let Abrego Garcia sit in CECOT is *a crime*. Deprivation of rights under color of law is a crime. Was it an "error" at first? Maybe. But once they were aware of the error, and ordered by a judge to return him, and then refusing, it's willful 1/

Go, Corey!

Sen. Cory Booker has taken the Senate floor and announced he’s holding it until he’s no longer physically able as a protest against Trump. It’s probably the best idea any Senate Democrat has had in months. Love it.

Ben Franklin's donation established the first public library in 1790. Mark Cuban seems to think we need malicious software that steals and monetizes information so that we can democratize access to knowledge. Though I suppose that might actually be true once Republicans start to outlaw libraries...

I have to admit that I've been surprised at the level of hate at AI LLMs. There is finally a tool that allows those without access to an advanced education to self learn, anywhere , anytime. To get answers to questions, (even if sometimes wrong) , that they would otherwise never have access to

Adams must be removed. The city cannot sustain being governed for nearly a year by a Mayor who is being coerced by Trump admin in order to escape charges. This corruption poses a real threat to the people of the city. He should have resigned a while ago, but will not. So it’s time for him to go.

At Cabaret yesterday, Cliff said his line “…if you’re not against all this then you’re for it. Or you might as well be”. The audience interrupted the scene to applaud that line so strongly it stopped the show. Doing a show about the onset of fascism right now is. . . chilling.

For everyone using the Watch Duty app, which is probably everyone in Los Angeles, we should really support their incredible public service. And they've certainly earned it! If you click the menu in the upper left or the heart in the upper right, you can subscribe or donate.

Quick PSA for Los Angeles. If the traffic light is out, it's now a FOUR-WAY STOP SIGN! Stop blowing through intersections and nearly crashing into each other! First responders are busy enough already.

You are up to date.
