This is racist as fuck.
Ilhan Omar is an American citizen. She was elected by Americans to represent Americans in the United States Congress.
Trump smears the country where she was born, mocks how she came here, and uses it to suggest she doesn’t belong.
She belongs.
If you think the #NoKings Instagram takedown was BS give them a follow if you are on that platform.

Musk is about to spend $100 million on anti-trans ads and some Democrats' answer is “well, actually, I also have concerns.” You can't out-bigot the bigots. They'll just pick the original. Grow a fucking spine and do the right thing for once.

As Trump and Republicans strip health coverage from millions (for tax cuts for the rich), Dems plan to expand Medicare. #MedicareForAllNOWwww.newsweek.com/medicare-upd...
I've listened to Macklemore's Hind's Hall. It's a strong protest song against ongoing genocide. I'd like to see Sheeran take a principled stance as an artist, not a financial stance
Bias against one group opens the door to bias against other groups. That's why trans rights are human rights, and crucial to all of us. These Democrats have to go
In 2026, there are 26 Dems running for Congress, Senate, Governor, or Statewide Office who have made anti-trans votes or statements.

1. In recent months, we have seen California governor throw trans people under the bus for political points.
Now, one of the leading Dems in the race for CA Gov. has said "enough," and has fully embraced trans athletes and rights.
He condemns capitulation.

Wherever my travels take me, I find that a majority of Americans agree (with each other, and with Democrats) on far more issues than the media or algorithms would lead us to believe.
Urban greening cuts heat deaths in Paris, but "green gentrification" displaces vulnerable residents these interventions aim to protect.
“green gentrification.”
Climate adaptation developed separately from equity…

Stripping the EPA’s authority to fight climate change is a dereliction of duty. More profits for fossil fuel executives and wealthy shareholders at the expense of our planet and future.
The climate emergency is here.

I’m proud to be endorsed by Justice Democrats and PAL PAC.
The only way we can fight fascism is with bold progressive ideas and accountability for all in power.
It’s a new moment. And it requires new leadership:

The first Chevy Bolt, like the Volt before it, was an under-appreciated engineering feat and a ton of fun to drive. Chevy is missing a chance to win the true market of the 21st century
If I shot an unarmed person, I'd expect to be detained and questioned. Most likely I'd be charged, brought before a judge, and made to post bail. If I acted rashly and in anger, I'd expect to lose access to firearms. Why has none of this happened? #justiceforrenee
Shouldn't we expect the speaker of the house be better informed about current events? Aren't we paying him ever two weeks to be well informed for the good of the country? Even while other federal workers don't get paid thanks to his machinations!
Hegseth is putting all of the American generals and admirals from around the world into a single room. Why might Hegseth do such an extraordinary thing? Here I discuss four possible reasons.

As I told @newrepublic.com, "Once last week, twice today, ICE has picked me up and thrown me on the ground. Honestly, it doesn’t compare to what our neighbors who are trapped inside the Broadview processing facility are going through. They’re committing crimes against humanity there."
Interesting new definition of SFM
“Sustainable forestry is forest management that prioritizes mitigating and adapting to climate change during the next several decades as a critical aspect of meeting the social, economic, ecological, and spiritual needs of current and future generations.”
Very proud to be a coauthor on a new definition of sustainable forestry for our era of #climate crisis. Our definition calls for carbon levels in the atmosphere to be the touchstone for forest management decisions. Read it for yourself (no paywall), here: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Repubs keep bringing up trans people in sports to distract and divide. They don't want to discuss their awful, unpopular programs. Dems should refuse to play (see what I did there) and focus on govt policy that unites us-- protect the middle class, national parks, climate, and civil liberties
"We’re creating something even more dangerous to the country: A masked monster of a law enforcement agency, one uniquely unsuited for its new power, authority, reach, and funding levels."
Of course the right hates #Superman. They have been fighting weekend for years, and what is "woke" other than believing in "truth, justice and the American way." And to me and many others the American way emphasizes kindness and courage. Call me woke anytime.
Why did it take Kristi Noem from Friday until Monday to authorize FEMA's search and rescue teams to deploy? Too busy with Fourth of July celebrations to do her job?
This has always been the GOP's strategy:
1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves.
2) Explode deficits
3) Use the debt as an excuse to demand cuts to vital programs that help millions.
4) Repeat.

In addition to hiding from public accountability and endangering service members, this chat also disclosed intelligence assets. We knew who their top missile guys was, that he had a girlfriend, and that we knew where she lived. However we got that info probably won’t work again
