A US passport’s not worth much these days—it’ll get you into 20-30 countries, max. Cambodia is one—but Americans must deposit $3K for healthcare—incl. $1,500 for funeral costs. Karma for years of Trump falsely scapegoating migrants as disease carriers. nationalgeographic.com/travel/2020/07…
There’s no job I’m afraid to lose if it requires me to degrade anyone. If that’s a defining issue for a voter, there will be a different candidate. We have a bathroom in my office that anybody is welcome to use, including Representative-elect Sarah McBride.
Just out: My op-ed in @thehill on the US Dietary Guidelines: the problems and how to fix them. Please share! "The current guidelines have likely spawned a chronic disease crisis that has caused millions of premature deaths and accounts for the vast majority of America’s $4.5…
A frequent tool of dictators is to label political opposition groups as "terrorist groups" and shut them down. This bill - up for a vote this week - would give Trump the power to do just that. It's disastrous. And apparently there are House Democrats CONSIDERING VOTING FOR IT!
⚡️ UPDATE: The bill to let Trump “crush dissent” (HR 9495) will see a floor vote Wednesday. Call your reps.
New Los Angeles Police Department Chief Jim McDonnell says police will not participate in mass deportations: “What I can say here is any talk of mass roundups or the Police Department being involved in that thing, we don’t do that kind of thing.”
For those wondering, this isn't the banality of evil. What the future Trump administration has promised is radical evil. The banality of evil is the judgment future generations might cast against this one for not protecting the fundamental rights of all people to exist freely.
The sun is up, but after a long night. To my friends, family, and loved ones who are feeling scared right now, know that I am fiercely in your corner. To everyone else, it’s time to get to work. A 🧵
Especially the girl dads and feminists. Thanks xoxo
Five more polling places in DeKalb County have received bomb threats. Voting has been suspended at those precincts. This is a deliberate attempt to prevent Americans from casting ballots. FBI has linked today’s previous threats to Russians. Official release below @ATLNewsFirst
Republican Philadelphia city commissioner says Trump’s claim is false:
There is absolutely no truth to this allegation. It is yet another example of disinformation. Voting in Philadelphia has been safe and secure.
Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger says the non-credible threats that briefly disrupted voting at two Georgia polling places originated from Russia. “We identified the source; it was from Russia," he says.
who europeans would vote for in america’s presidential election, by country:
When parents only ask about grades and goals, kids infer that achievement comes first. To signal that we value their well-being and character, we should also ask about happiness and kindness: -What made you feel joyful? Sad or worried? -Who did you help? Who helped you?
This quote, alone, would have been enough to disqualify any other candidate for political office in America. And it disqualifies Trump. It is effectively a promise to betray America and our allies in service of our enemies. He's a traitor. It's not an overstatement.
Donald Trump: "Our allies [NATO] are worse than our so-called enemies [Russia]". He is making clear which side he will take once coming into power. And then, what is NATO anymore? The end of the transatlantic alliance looms.
I'm at the south philly dems office. This is the line to get your canvassing assignment.
In Iran, a student harassed by her university’s morality police over her “improper” hijab didn’t back down. She turned her body into a protest, stripping to her underwear and marching through campus—defying a regime that constantly controls women’s bodies. Her act is a powerful…
Alicia Keys gave a phenomenal speech at a rally for VP Kamala Harris in Pennsylvania tonight! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
NEW: Three U.S. agencies say that a video claiming to show Haitian immigrants illegally voting for Kamala Harris was produced by a Russian government-backed disinfo unit, as was one alleging Diddy bribed Harris and her husband. motherjones.com/politics/2024/…
This is how dictators destroy free nations. They threaten those who speak against them with death. We cannot entrust our country and our freedom to a petty, vindictive, cruel, unstable man who wants to be a tyrant. #Womenwillnotbesilenced #VoteKamala
Trump on Liz Cheney: "Let's put her with a rifle standing there with 9 barrels shooting at her. Let's see how she feels about it. You know, when the guns are trained on her face."
