Anna’s hummingbird is perched on the edge of a diagonal twig in front of blue sky.  His beak points upward, his face and neck are brilliant shiny pink, and his tail feathers are flared straight out around him.  His body and tail feathers are a mix of green, gray, and white. His wings stick out to the sides.

Nothing makes me happier than ending a call with an intern and having them say, "Every time I get off the phone with you I feel so happy and inspired."

Folks in Maine and Alaska: please call Collins and Murkowski to oppose the confirmation of Casey Means for Surgeon General. They are apparently still on the fence and MAHA is pushing them hard to vote in favor.

Something Went Wrong The preliminary injunction was in response to a lawsuit filed by the ACLU of Oregon on behalf of protesters and freelance journalists.

Good news! A federal judge in Oregon has restricted federal officers from using tear gas on ICE protesters after a lawsuit by the ACLU of Oregon.

This is how we defend our rights.
This is how we protect our communities.

Time for other states to follow. #ICEout

Almost the entire globe hates us and we hate ourselves. This is not a good story that we’re writing for ourselves right now.

I’ve said since the beginning that they’re not building detention centers solely for β€œdangerous, illegal immigrants”. They’re building them for anyone who opposes. Do you oppose? They’re building it for you.

And somehow, Gavin Newsom thinks it’s important to just focus on β€œnormalcy”.

Even my undergraduate interns at UC Berkeley no not to use the passive. I feel bad for the New York Times having such low standards.

Democrats may not be able to prevent Mullin's confirmation, but they can certainly turn his track record of offense and stupidity into two days of televised humiliation so spectacular that he is wounded in Trump's eyes from day 1. That is the job.
