NEW🚨: Thailand should immediately withdraw the repressive #NPObill as its second iteration is under review. If enacted, the draft law would “enable government officials to stifle civil and political rights,” said @matthewfsmith, CEO at @FortifyRights. fortifyrights.org/tha-inv-20…

Hours ago, AOC voted for a resolution designed to conflate criticism of Israel and Zionism, on one hand, with anti-Semitism on the other. No one believes your act anymore, @AOC. You're on the side of the genocidaires.
Thank you @SenSanders for leading this effort to block further offensive weapons to the Israeli government and to every one of these 18 Senators for affirming that the United States must uphold its own laws and commitments to international human rights.

As some of you know, I have a trans son. I think it’s fine to thoughtfully debate whether trans girls can be in girls sports.
Not debatable: Transgenderism is real & stirring up hatred against a minority community for political gain is despicable.
That’s what this is. Period.

I’m on the DNC for 32 yrs: 16 on the Executive Committee, 11 as chair of the resolutions committee, & on the Unity/Reform Committee. I’m pushing for budget transparency & accountability, & party democracy.
But I guess all I’ll ever be is that “pro-Palestinian” guy. It’s bigotry

The connection b/w GSW fans and Klay is one of those rare, magical sports things where an elite talent with a totally genuine, relatable personality lands on the kind of team where he can turn that talent into big moments. There are great players who might spend their entire careers in one place and will never quite hit this sweet spot.

How do you know a recession is coming?
Simple.
Americans just elected a Republican president.
Look at history:
Since WWII, almost every single recession has happened after Americans elected a Republican president.
Don’t believe me? Do your own research.
Y’all love that.

Dems delivered the most economically populist admin in decades, got handed a massive electoral defeat, and now every pundit is like "hey have you guys considered economic populism"

I revere this country. The institutions. The Presidency. I want our nation to succeed.
But I’m not naive.
Donald Trump has a playbook. They wrote it out for us. 922 pages. With 270 specific points he has publicly supported.
If our American values and freedoms are attacked, we will not stand idly by.

MARK MY WORDS: If Trump moves forward with imposing 20% across-the-board tariffs (60% for Chinese goods!), consumer prices will rise immediately. Americans will instantly feel the inflationary impact, and Trump’s approval numbers will plummet.
Buyer’s remorse will set in fast.

A small but significant detail from last night’s game: Wiggins smoked a layup and then got blocked badly at the rim early in the game. Normally he would faze himself out of the game and take a back seat. Last night he continued moving forward with aggressiveness, didn’t let anything faze him. It was a grind out game for him, and he didn’t let anything hold him back. A good sign of where he’s at headspace wise. The Warriors are a much better team with this version of Wiggins. Not to mention what he brings on the defensive end of the floor.

Where are the "missing" votes?
They're coming, and I'll show you.
Perhaps you've seen this chart circulating. Let me show you why it's wrong, and demonstrate to you that this year's totals will slightly exceed 2020's. 1/

California is ready to fight.
I just called an emergency special session to help bolster our legal resources and protect our state against any unlawful actions by the incoming Trump Administration.
Whether it be our fundamental civil rights, reproductive freedom, or climate action -- we refuse to turn back the clock and allow our values and laws to be attacked.

Washington has gone toe-to-toe with Trump before and we’re ready to do it again. Your rights are protected here. We will continue to lead on reproductive rights, climate action, immigrant rights, and more.

Latest numbers: across the seven battleground states, the '20-'24 swing towards Trump was ~3.1 pts. Across the other 43 states (+DC), it was ~6.7 pts.
Bottom line: the Harris campaign swam impressively against some very strong underlying currents.

This is the first time the Warriors have won 5 consecutive road games to start a season since the 73-win season

I'm thinking a lot about what @AOC warned her fellow Democrats in December 2020: "If these people’s lives don’t actually feel different...we’re done. You know how many Trumps there are in waiting?”
