We will not win the battle for democracy if those in the pro-democracy movement prize caution over taking risks. We cannot permit ourselves to be deterred by the defeats and public criticism that are inevitable along the long path of restoring democracy. Now is the time for fearless leadership.

@TeamPelosi HOUSE REPUBLICANS ARE BETRAYING THEIR OWN VOTERS by following Trump's orders to strip health care from millions of Americans — including cancer patients — to give tax breaks to billionaires. Disgraceful. Tell Republicans to #DefendMedicaidDefeatCancer.

"I think Trump hates Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Bigots hate nobody more than the mirror holders. Zelenskyy's courage, his clarity, his moral probity, holds up a mirror in which Trump can't hide from his own depravity. When he's reminded of what he truly is, the mask slips, doesn't it." ~ James O'Brien 🌻

Trump is threatening to revoke Harvard’s tax exempt status because the university refused to cave to his demands. Why is he so hell-bent on attacking universities? Because an educated and informed citizenry has always been the biggest threat to a dictator's power.

100 billionaire families spent $2.6 billion in the 2024 election. 70% of these donations went to Republicans. Now, Trump and the GOP are gutting the FEC — which enforces campaign finance and anti-corruption laws. See how this works?

So the ICESTAPO is now grabbing people as they go to their green card meetings. People trying to become citizens the legal way, and doing everything right, are being deported for no other reason for having brown skin. ICE isn’t targeting white immigrants. ONLY the brown ones.

Trump’s DOJ ordered ICE agents to conduct home raids without a warrant, in clear violation of the 4th Amendment. And three American children were just unlawfully deported, including one with cancer. Where is the outrage from the so-called “party of freedom”?

No one is above the law except, according to the Supreme Court, a president. Everyone who is accused of violating the law is entitled to due process. It is un-American and unconstitutional to believe in one and not the other.

Imagine fighting, bleeding, dying for your land, only for Trump to hand it over like a used golf cart. Ukrainians didn’t defend Crimea just to see it sold off for a "framework." In other words.. Fuck Trump, his puppeteer, Putin, and fuck their stupid "framework"!!! 🖕

Mornin', BlueSky! I won't be able to attend a "bridge takeover" today after all, but I'm channeling Letitia James: “I will not be silenced. I will not be bullied. I will not bend. I will not break.
