How I imagine the situation inside Team Vivek recently (if there’s at least one sane person there anyway)

If you didn't grow up during the Cold War & the Cuban Missile Crisis, or practice bomb drills in school in case Russia attacked us, you can't really understand the slap in the face that Trump's embrace of Putin is to those of us who did. #ProudBlue #Pinks #SheShed

My little warrior baby wishes you a Happy Indigenous Peoples Day.

NEW: We just sat down with Xavier Becerra to discuss why Trump’s attacks on California aren’t just about one state. From voting rights to health care to the future of our democracy, the consequences reach the entire country. Watch now and spread the word.

Back at the gallery and today I’m with the fabulous drag queens. Wearing a Cigar Daddy t shirt from @denloungewear.bsky.social

Happy Pride 🌈 The world’s biggest Pride flag spanning 4.1 miles illuminated Market Street tonight and will dazzle the city from sunset to sunrise through Sunday.

I love our pride laser.

The Golden State Valkyries made their Pride Night celebration something special, with events inside and outside Chase Center that highlight their ties to the LGBTQ community.

A Cape Verde World Cup watch party in Oakland led to an emotional reunion when a former Peace Corps teacher was recognized by a student she taught in the African nation 35 years ago.

In my California years, nothing was better to post on Twitter than it was Lincecum night. Timmy was awesome. #SFGiants ⚾️ www.mlb.com/news/tim-lin...

At the USMNT game vs. Türkiye in LA, the crowd went WILD for the USWNT legends Mia Hamm & Julie Foudy. Los Angeles Stadium knows ball 😏

Michelle Obama: "That's where the truth of this country lies. Not in grabbing as much as we can get for ourselves. Or knocking folks down to prop ourselves up. But in the overwhelming goodness, the relentless striving, the quiet dignity, that is inside all of us."

I'd like to point out that the A's (currently of West Sacramento, CA) are celebrating Pride Night and the non-profit of the game is the Sacramento LBGT Community Center. I've never been more proud to be an A's fan -- especially considering what some of the Giants did this week. #baseball

Bruce is out here fighting for us every day. 💙

Talarico: Ken Paxton embodies everything that’s wrong with our political system. He was impeached by his own party for using his public office to enrich himself and his donors at our expense. And that kind of corruption is the rot at the core of this broken system.

How is this not a Marie Antonette tipping point moment?

These UCLA students have more integrity than the Whitehouse Press Corps. They care more about justice & our Constitutional rights than our Department of Justice. It's time that EVERYONE follow in their bold footsteps. Throw sand in the gears like these brave Bruins. Stand against #ICELawlessness

It Can Happen Here, Too—In November! open.substack.com/pub/statusku...

I am greatly upset with the US aggression in the Iran War. What is the Board of Peace doing to help end this war?

Congressman Tony Gonzales must be forced to resign. Public pressure from the American people must rise to a fever pitch. More people must know about this. Tell someone. They must not be allowed to get away with sexually harassing a woman to death.

You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

The sons of liberty are getting involved in Minnesota

Let us all stand with Chairman Powell.

Three year extension of ACA subsidies passes in the House

Happy New Year To Everyone, Including the UNHINGED LOSER "Tiny" Mike Johnson, who—despite his best but pitiful efforts—will fail miserably to stop us from extending ACA tax credits in January. Now's the time to get loud about it:

This could wind up being the most-watched newsmagazine segment in television history!! Congratulations to the Ellisons and Bari Weiss!!!

Yeah I'm SUPER shocked the DOJ is violating the law and not releasing all the Epstein files. WHO COULD HAVE GUESSED they'd continue to protect pedophiles?? Everyone. Everyone guessed.
