@ze-family.bsky.socially I stand with Ukraine.

I'm old enough to remember when Google's motto was "Don't be Evil". How times have changed.

"Daddy says he owns you. Can you get me an ice cream?"

The new iconic photo that i predicted ultimately destroys the relationship:

If you are looking for someone to say that all is lost and the courts can't help protect democracy, you are following the wrong guy. If you are looking for someone who fights hard and will never give up, I'm here for you.

Brilliant.

It's called The Gulf of Mexico. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

my view is that as soon as the administration froze disbursement of congressional appropriations we entered constitutional crisis territory

During his first term, "executive time" on his calendar meant he was either napping, watching Fox & Friends or playing golf. Now it means he's waiting on President Musk to tell him what to do.

Dems should propose a law that immediately requires every fed agency to post on @bsky.app account, every outlay with a detailed description, $, and a link to existing gov sites with in depth details Rather than trying to keep Elon out, pre-empt him so he cant miss characterize spending.

Farmers: “He was supposed to hurt other people, not us.”

Imagine if @aoc @sanders.senate.gov , every dem, SIMULTANEOUSLY held Town Halls where they allowed grant and contract recipients to explain to the country what it is they do and why it's important Invite all media. Including RW podcasters. @spaces Flood the zone Call it a Day Of Transparency

Normalize pronouncing DOGE as DOUCHE.

Please, everyone, drop what you’re doing and read this:

🚨Trump’s trade war is spiraling. Canada is hitting back with massive tariffs targeting US goods, from whiskey to Teslas. Prices are about to soar and the US has become a global pariah. Catch up on all the fallout in Ron Filipkowski’s weekend bulletin.

Trump is making Americans pay a 25% tax on coffee because he's mad at Columbia. If it sounds stupid to you, it's because it is.

Remember when we said project 2025 is Donald Trump and Donald Trump is project 2025?

Those present at the inauguration were mostly (if not all) white, rich, and males wearing ties. Trump’s core supporters were left out in the cold. Think about it.

I’m suddenly remembering why I stopped watching news from 2017-2019.

There is a reason TikTok is so good at figuring out what you want to see, and why it’s better than everything else: it’s a weapon, and the best weapon is one you don’t know exists, or worse, one you think you can’t live without

NEW: With Trump back in office, pro-democracy news is more important than ever. That's why, starting tomorrow, Democracy Docket is expanding our coverage to report on lawsuits filed to hold the Trump administration accountable. Subscribe now for free: newsletters.democracydocket.com/bluesky

The Jumbotrons were taken down. Because of the cold. Really.

I founded Democracy Docket to expose GOP attacks on democracy. When Trump takes the oath of office, it will expand to meet the moment. Democracy Docket is fearlessly independent and unapologetically prodemocracy. It will not back down. It will never obey. www.democracydocket.com/me-subscribe...

Once a GRIFTER!!!

No matter where you fall on the TikTok ban, the President undoing by “executive order” a law passed by Congress and upheld unanimously by the Supreme Court is an unconstitutional abuse of power.

Just finishing On Tyranny by Timothy Snyder ( @timothysnyder.bsky.social ). I’ll be keeping it close & rereading. Highly recommend. Might buy copy for each member of my little anarchy sewing circle (current nickname for my mutual aid/political action group). Our first meeting starts in 20 minutes!

Too cold, or not enough attendees 🤔 #donaldtrump #inauguration

Some details from this wsj scoop www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

I just spit out my tea.

Remember when ol' Hill mentioned a "vast, right wing conspiracy?" Just a reminder that all of us who laughed at her were naive fools.

Each time I have sat down to write something since the election, I am bothered by this recurring phrase that I simply cannot get out of my head. So,I am going to just say it out loud: we are on our own. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/we-a...

Thanks and farewell to an incredible Secretary of Transportation.

One of my favorite captures. This was in the Spring, and she was fluffing out her feathers. I just have a point-and-shoot zoom camera. Just enough for this backyard birder. 🪶 #birds

My one wish for the inauguration is that there is a gift bag under the seats of Bezos, Zuck, Elon etc, with a single, embroidered , padded knee pad Need to protect themselves when they are on bended knee, kissing the ring 🤷😆

I'm absolutely ready to fight back. And if the rightwing media thinks it will intimidate me to back down by writing these stories, they are wrong. I know the truth. They hate me because I fight. They fear me because I win.

“We are a country that stands on the precipice, just six weeks away from swearing in, for the second time, a wannabe “dictator” with ambitions to wildly reshape our democracy. There is a desire to tune out. I get it.” www.vanityfair.com/news/story/w...

Christmas Crescent. Holiday lights and a crescent moon between the Sears Tower antennas on this day in 2018.

Taylor Swift gave out 197 million in bonuses to her Eras Tour staff

It scares the living hell out of me that this sticky-fingered traitor will, for the second time, have unfettered access to our nation's most sensitive secrets. Here's hoping our national security agencies are taking the necessary precautions to protect classified information.

Good morning and Happy Tuesday to everyone who wishes the media would grow a spine and learn to interview the lying piece of shit properly the way Barbara Walters did fearlessly back in the day. She was prepared for his lies and HANDLED him. Stop sanewashing his crazy bullshit.

Ben Folds and Jeremy Irons should get together and start a dry cleaning business. They could call it Ben and Jerry's.
