Weβre building a #PeoplesMovement.
Today, over 3 million people across the country stood up to say HANDS OFF our democracy.
β¨And history shows that when just 3.5% of the population engages in sustained, peaceful resistanceβtransformative change is inevitable.

This weekend is special. Today my baby girl marries the person she has chosen as her future.
Keep us in your thoughts as the GHTA in Ontario π¨π¦ is supposed to get hammered with an ice storm. Hoping everyone makes it in from all over the US, Canada, England, Ireland, EU and India. π€
Someday, aomewhere @maddow.msnbc.com will be written into the history books as one of the finest resisters of this era.
We are living history. Again
Anybody else weary of beefing witness to history?! lol. Itβs wearing, but if you look at it in the context of history, itβs fascinating.
Donβt you find it kind of awe inspiringly terrifyiny that the president of the United States is openly threatening the governor of Maine to withdraw funding from her state without an apology?
Itβs HAS to be time already, isnβt it? He really needs to go. Or be made to go. However that happens.
TRUMP: βI believe Putin wants peace. I think he would tell me if he didnβt. I trust him on this.β
Putin & Russia are currently trying to obliterate Odesa.

Thereβs no official site that lists every Early Vote location in Wisconsin. So, every election, the WisDems voter protection team calls clerks all over the state and compiles our own.
In-person early voting is open NOW, and you can register at the polls. Find your location here: wisdems.org/vote

Raskin: "There's an absolute attack on the Constitution taking place by an administration which views the Constitution as just inconvenient furniture that's gotta be kicked out of the way."
My role at a major tech company was made redundant recently. Terrible timing but π to lemonade.
What adventure should I embark on next? 15 years of enterprise level Program Management, project management, excellent bridge builder and servant team leader.

Hello my Bluesky tribe!
I would greatly appreciate you following my little venture on FB. I canβt advise it until I reach a certain number of followers. (After tech layoffs this has to fly! Itβs my only income!) Can you help please?

An Irish Blessing on St. Patrick's Day
May those who love us, love us;
And for those who don't love us,
May God turn their hearts;
And if He doesn't turn their hearts,
May He turn their ankles,
So we will know them by their limping.
Smh. What the heck. I have heard from so many people having run ins with ICE. A Canadian Cree artist being detained then deported back to Canada, a US citizen flight attendant on personal time detained returning from Puerto Rico, and now this. Just examples.
Trump to withdraw the US from group Investigating Russiaβs leadership for crimes committed against Ukrainians.
Meanwhile Russia is now using drones to hunt children for sport.
βWe saw the drone and ran. My friend hid at home, another ran straightβthen the drone dropped a bomb.β #EndImpunity

Openly ignoring and defying the Judiciary.
Breaking his oath to preserve and protect the Constitution of the United States.
Granting himself unchecked power.
This is authoritarianism.
This is blatant defiance of the court order. It was NOT too late. When the judge issued is order, two planes were in the air, and a third took off from Texas AFTER the order.
I am begging blue state governors to have lunch this week with your adjutant general of the National Guard.
Cannot stress enough how important this relationship is going to be in the near future.
Meanwhile over on the other place, rightwing free speech warriors (this guy is a former DeSantis campaign staffer) are calling for me to be denaturalized and deported because they donβt like my political speech. This is what fascism and racism looks like, folks.
We are living in very dangerous, unusual times.
Today, the White House ignored a ruling by a Federal District Court because we have President who is an ignorant buffoon with no respect for the law or the Constitution.
THIS IS AN EMERGENCY!

This is outrageous. Judge Boasbergβs order went against government agencies which were in the US, and which were in direct contact with the plane. He must hold them in contempt of court.
I can also say I cringe when I hear that voice, even as a point in a podcast I actually like. Itβs a reflex. So much BS and So many lies. Sigh. I can wish for a day when my podcast experiences do NOT include that voice.
You ever just get sick of your own clutter?
Today I reviewed my closets and got 5 bags to donate - clothes, blankets and sheets.
That shit is NOT
going to fit in 6 months. Letβs be real here π€£π

Shame on you Chuck Schumer, John Fetterman, Kirsten Gillibrand, Maggie Hassan, Gary Peters, Angus King, Catherine Cortez Masto, Jean Shaheen, Brian Schatz, & Dick Durbin! You abandoned us. We will not forget!!
The House just gave Musk and Trump a blank check. The Senate should tear it up....

NASDAQ is now down $4 Trillion in total value from its peak.
NYSE losses are over $3 Trillion.
Combined, this is the biggest wipeout of wealth for Americans households directly tied to Presidential incompetence, rather than 'externalities' like war or pandemic, in our Nation's history.
