Donald Trump was, from his formative years, a spoiled bully. Since returning to the White House, he has made his world view clear: there is βusβ and there is βthem.β David Remnick writes about the Presidentβs politics of fear.
He was such a great influence- may his memory be a blessing to you and your family always .
Big crowd last night for #MayDay march from Foley Square to Battery Park. We met our friends from #LMIIndivisible and #IndivisibleNewRochelle in Grand Central and marched together. Big shout out to Joe for making signs!
A woman with gray hair and a light beige/cream-colored jacket is holding a large sign that reads "SILENCE IS FOR COWARDS STOP THE CHAOS".Β She is using a maroon-colored walker.Β Other protesters are visible in the background, some holding signs.Β Several people are wearing various clothing and some are in conversation.Β A rainbow-colored flag is visible in the background.Β
I have a ton of photos and videos I am going through from today's No Kings protest in St. Joseph, but I wanted to share this one first: a 102-year-old WW2 veteran who has never stopped fighting for freedom and democracy.
It was an honor to meet her and thank her for her service.
Choosing to believe they made the 102 year old woman eat 7 bowls of yogurt. #AmazingRace
Incredible interview with 102-year-old Diane Volz, who lives in Mike Lawler's district and lambasts Republicans for attempting to gut Medicaid and abandon FDR's principles. Great job by @meidastouch on this. What a lady! youtu.be/94EhE2qjmjU?...
This 102 year old woman is a better speaker than the 'president.'

β’ This is what democracy looks like β in Boston, Massachusetts.
β’ βHands Off!β protests against the Trump regime are off to brilliant start β all across America.
Mike Lawler refuses to condemn the Trump officials who put our national security at risk by using an unsecured channel. This is reckless and most likely illegal.
Demand that Rep. Lawler call for those involved to resign and that Congress hold emergency hearings into this matter.
Thank you @antoniodelgadorne.bsky.social for such an inspiring session.. and for reminding us of how NYS can be a beacon if we have courage.
Great conversation this evening with hundreds of @indivisible.org leaders and members from across New York.
This is exactly the kind of grassroots energy and engagement we need to put accountability back into our politics.
Show up at the Dramatic Hall for the #FightLawler Town Hall and not at all surprised to see that #MikeLawler was a no-show after his fake Tele-Town Hall on Wednesday
Also not surprised how many CD17 constituents showed up. Standing room only inside, and impromptu rally across the street
