In Wisconsin, browns_brewers from Twitter. Just a retired dude wondering why the fuck so many in this country vote against their own interests. My first POTUS vote was Jimmy Carter, he lost but I never gave up. Lifelong Democrat. 💙

A Morning Dove nested in a garden box on our deck right beside the back picture window, last year's fall pea and spinach crop I never cleaned out. Takes about a month from laying the egg to the squab leaving the next, normally they lay 2 but an only child here.

🚨🚨🚨MAJOR BREAKING: Susan Collins gets a major challenge for her U.S. senate seat in Maine and she’s VERY concerned! His name is Jordan Wood and his slogan is too perfect. Watch this and let’s flip this seat!

BREAKING -- Tesla's share price $TSLA drops almost 6% today -- not because of a bad quarterly earnings report, but because everyone is expecting tomorrow's quarterly earnings report to be THAT BAD. Meanwhile their CEO continues to work remotely on a dubious side project in DC.

Serious question. Kristi Noem was pictured with a Rolex in El Salvador, and got 3k in cash stolen. She has been on a govt salary for years. Something aint right

"Gableman falsely claimed the 2020 election was stolen and was accused of widespread misconduct by state ethics officials..." www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Raskin: He destroyed more than $10 trillion in American wealth in a single week. And then he went golfing and bragged to America about winning the tournament at his own golf course. That's like bragging about being endorsed by your own campaign manager. So much winning

"Public health experts have warned for years that such a shift would open the door to increased dental disease, especially in low-income communities. But the guy who thinks wi-fi causes cancer and 'leaky brain' is apparently unconvinced..." www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

Liar Greg Abbott says he has refused to set a special election to fill the seat of recently diseased Democratic Rep. Sylvester Turner because he says Harris County doesn’t do their elections properly.

In the President Harris timeline, we all have fun plans for the weekend that don’t include hoarding coffee or medicine.

Based on the replies l, it looks like there a lot of fed workers on @bsky.app I just wanted to say THANK YOU. I can't imagine the shit you are going through right now Thanks for your service to our country

Sen. Elizabeth Warren: "If Pete Hegseth had even a sliver of self respect and sense of honor, he would have already put his resignation on the president's desk. And if he's not willing to do that, then the President of the United States has a moral, and in my view, legal obligation to fire him."

We were told not to share this publicly, but last year was record-breaking—America’s national parks saw over 331 million visits.

This is more important than you realize. Bluesky doesn’t downgrade links. Which means news sites will get more traffic from here than other sites. Which gives them economic reasons to post here first.

Reminder: If you’re sharing information, protect yourself. Documents and communications often contain hidden watermarks, intentional typos, odd punctuation, inconsistent spacing, or stylized phrasing—all designed to uniquely identify the source.

And that’s on that 😌

The fight for our democracy is not coming. It is here. When I say that we have months, not a year, to save democracy, I'm talking about this coordinated, relentless legal assault on political dissent. 1/ Let me explain a few elements of Trump's plan: www.nytimes.com/2025/03/19/u...

The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. It’s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific. If you know anyone who is impacted, please help them get online to get their benefits approved

If you live in NC, call every Republican politician you know. Call every farmer you know and ask them to do the same When money walks , voters talk. Make sure they know this effects everyone in their town and state www.wunc.org/news/2025-03...

Hundreds of people gathered at Patriots Park right now in Tarrytown for a Stop the Cuts Rally — holding Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY) accountable for his vote to decimate Medicaid.

I'm voting NO on the Republican shutdown bill. NO on handing Donald Trump and Elon Musk a blank check to spend your taxpayer money however they want. NO on cutting funding that helps families put food on the table and crack down on wealthy tax cheats. We need to push back.

Go ahead and stay silent. Let fear rule you. Watch injustice happen. Just don’t act like you did not know and accept that you are the latest in a long line of cowards who learned nothing from the past. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/we-c...

I care deeply about who Michigan will elect as Governor and send to the U.S. Senate next year, but I have decided against competing in either race. I wrote more here about my decision and how I view the work required of us all in this moment:

This is also why folks need to stay LOUD—make your opinions known. It’s making a difference.

The acting head of the government’s human resources arm, Charles Ezell, is refusing to testify in tomorrow’s case that challenges the legality of the recent mass firings of federal workers. His absence raises serious questions—what is there to hide?

If you missed Gaga on SNL Saturday, fuckin hell she is badass. www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjbI...

It does not get better than this. Just saw Joe in Milwaukee, dude is a legend on guitar. www.grammy.com/videos/joe-b...

If you were really looking for fraud at SSA, you wouldn’t need write access. You WOULD need write access if you wanted to CREATE fraud where none existed as a pretext to shut down Social Security.

They disappeared a man right off the streets just like Putin for exercising his free speech. They won’t stop at immigrants. We are all targets now. open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

the Dow has now given back all gains made since November 5

The writ of habeas corpus exists to protect against arbitrary detention and confinement. Of course, the writ meaning anything depends on an executive branch that is willing to 1) respond to a legal action; 2) tell the truth in court; and 3) obey a court order. Otherwise this is 1973 Chile

INBOX: Fox & right wing sites claim Trump/DOGE canceled a $600K study of trans men’s menstruation — but a holler follerer found it and it was a study of alternative natural fibers for feminine products. (It just mentioned trans men in the data) More lies. Link: portal.nifa.usda.gov/web/crisproj...

"In a town with just over 1,000 residents, hundreds of people packed Belmont's Community Building Saturday for a town hall hosted by Democratic Rep. Mark Pocan. The building was filled to capacity with people even waiting outside and peeking through the windows..." www.wkow.com/news/politic...

"Our farmers are going to have a field day right now. To our farmers, have a lot of fun." Fun isn't your family farm going out of business or your grocery prices being driven up. All because Trump sold out farmers for his friends at Mar-a-Lago.

NEW: The National Advisory Committee on Microbiological Criteria for Foods is (or was) an advisory committee housed within the USDA which provides outside expert advice to advance food safety across the US and across different levels of govt. It was ordered disbanded this afternoon.

The FAA approved another launch before the last crash investigation was completed — and it ended in another disaster. Why is SpaceX getting a free pass from DOGE cuts? 🤔

Every time I read a story like this I recommit to be louder and more defiant.

What we saw last night was nothing but lies beyond count. The twisting of good projects overseas into dark evil and almost 5 minutes of lies about Social Security recipients. It’s all twisting reality so fools are eager to tear down the very system protecting them. They’re coming for ALL of it.

This list is so long and taking up so much real estate in his speech it’s almost like they want to distract from their massive cuts to Medicaid
