You rock. James Talarico can win Texas with your full support but not without it. I hope he realizes that fact.

Talerico can’t win Texas without Jasmine’s full support. Primary proves that.

A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nation’s people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else.

We mustn’t let this war do so.

Let’s all call Massie today and get him to switch parties. Then force Gonzalez to resign. Then get the gavel, issue some subpoenas, and impeach some motherfuckers

Every time I watch Star Trek I see a universe where diversity isn't a buzzword but a lived reality. A future where queer joy, racial justice & gender equity are just baseline. If we can imagine that utopia on screen, why not fight for it here & now? ✨ #StarTrek #TOSSatNight

We will force a vote on Rep. Thomas Massie and my bipartisan resolution to stop Trump from launching an illegal war in Iran next week. This perhaps will be the most consequential vote in Congress on war or peace since the Iraq war vote in 2002.

The richest man owns X.

The second and third richest men control Google.

The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post.

And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros.

See the problem here?

James: It’s unfortunate that the president is weaponizing the federal government, particularly the DOJ. It’s also unfortunate that Pam Bondi seems to believe that the DOJ is the personal attorney for the President of the United States, rather than serving the interests of America
