"All we say to America is, 'Be true to what you said on paper.'"
These words — spoken by MLK Jr. shortly before he was killed on this day in 1968 — ring just as true now.
Let's honor his legacy by continuing the fight for social and economic justice.

NASA just dropped this image of Artemis II astronaut Christina Koch looking back at us. The first woman to ever see our planet in its entirety. I’m not crying you’re crying 🥹🔭🧪 📸: NASA

In 2024, Biden debuted a pilot program called Direct File that could have made tax filing easy and free for most American taxpayers.
Trump killed it. It was a way to make life a little better for a lot of Americans.

ICE is going to get someone killed.
This was outside 100 Montgomery in SF’s Financial District.
If you needed proof these rookie hires aren’t trained, here it is. Real feds de-escalate. They call for backup. They don’t drag people down the street w/a car.
Hope everyone’s OK.

Mayor Karen Bass just told me that there was a kids summer camp in MacArthur Park when the federal agents in camp and long guns swooped in and they had to be brought inside so they didn’t get completely freaked out.

Congrats to Lisa Murkowski on voting for a bill that she herself admitted was not ready in hopes that the House would change it. Now it’ll become law. She had the power to stop it, and instead chose to become complicit. That’s her legacy.

What, exactly, are we celebrating this Fourth of July?
Our cutting off healthcare to the needy to enrich the greedy?
Our new concentration camps?
Our dying economy?
Our ditching due process?
Our corruption?
Our broken Congress?
Our corrupt Supreme Court?
Our ridiculous buffoon President?

Wow! France gifted her to us, and now they’ve captured what so many Americans are feeling on Independence Day. The values the Statue of Liberty stood for are no more.
📌 A stunning mural of the Statue of Liberty covering her face was unveiled in Roubaix, France, on July 3, 2025.

This Fourth of July, I am taking a moment to reflect. Things are hard right now. They are probably going to get worse before they get better.
But I love our country — and when you love something, you fight for it. Together, we will continue to fight for the ideals of our nation.

I’m not sure why Gavin Newsome doesn’t activate the rest of his army guard to prevent the president from it or force him to overrule it…. Then fight on the second amendment guaranteeing a state a right to a militia. How can a state have a militia if the president can simply federalize it

If you’re watching @maddow.msnbc.com’s A Block you understand that people who stand up for other people can change the course of those people’s lives & our history. We have the power to refuse Trump’s path forward. Protesting actually works. Let’s go.

Her hands wrung and wrought...
She struggle to leave
Battles she's fought
Pain just clings...

We have a president who virtually never thinks rationally, logically, or even in sequential steps. Nor can he fully comprehend causes and effects. His base of knowledge on virtually all subjects relating to governance and economics and world affairs is minimal. (1/2)
