I (with Vermont Voc Rehab) helped my brother Steve get a job at Global Foundries (a company impacted by this grant being yanked away) in Essex Junction, VT three years ago. 🤬 vtdigger.org/2025/05/27/t...

NEW: The Supreme Court took 6 months to decide immunity, but just 6 days to effectively strip the rest of us of due process. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/the-corrup...

They’re going to keep pushing until something stops them.

Think about what kind of person you have to be to lie about sending someone to a torture prison for life based on nothing bsky.app/profile/atru...

I want to share with you three rules for fighting tyrannical fear and intimidation, gleaned from discussions I’ve had with a number of people who have lived in repressive regimes. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/how-to-respond-to-fear-and-intimidation

“The US spent 8 decades building an international system of rules, norms and values that has produced the longest period of great power peace and global prosperity in human history.” Fareed Zakaria on how upending the world order will only weaken America: www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Donald Trump is a LIAR. There are no "paid troublemakers" or "filling up seats" at town hall meetings. But Donald is full of shit...period.

NEW: I'm hearing from federal employees that they're being told to file a FOIA request if they want their employee records. Meaning they've been locked out of their records and have to file a Freedom of Information Act Request to get them. If you got this email, please contact me. Signal in bio.

They will have our children’s data soon, including SpEd kids…

🚨BREAKING: Alliance for Retired Americans and two labor unions file lawsuit against Treasury Dept. to block disclosure of personal and financial information to Musk and DOGE. Follow @democracydocket.com for details on this and every pro-democracy lawsuit. www.democracydocket.com

Right out of the gate they are detaining U.S. citizens and saying their “papers”are fake. It was always a lie.

“When women are free to make their own decisions about their lives and to follow our dreams, we are unstoppable.” Cecile was a force of nature. May her memory be a blessing. 19thnews.org/2025/01/ceci...

Important to stay even-keeled, and I'm trying.He already has made some significant blunders, esp birthright citizenship. But it's the Tarrio commutation, if true,that makes you want to puke. I cannot think of a remotely similar betrayal of country by a sitting President. @hcrichardson.bsky.social ?

He pardoned EVERY SINGLE PERSON... I won't hold my breath for people to be outraged.

Fvckin' A. This was probably, straight up, the most viscerally & instantaneously satisfying vid I've ever seen #AOC post. @aoc.bsky.social #inauguration www.tiktok.com/t/ZT2dx5jd9/

This is the cowardice of The New York Times. Legacy media is failing.

BREAKING: Justice Ellen Gesmer denies Trump's request to halt his sentencing this Friday.

NEWS A Tesla Cybertruck has exploded at the entrance of the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas.

This woman gives 💯 in everything she does. She’s a tireless advocate who doesn’t take no for an answer. She & I fight for what is right. We’re fiercely loyal friends and we won’t back down from a challenge. When it comes to chosen family, I’m proud to call @jasmineforus.bsky.social, my sister. ♥️

🙈🙉Nothing to see here, nothing to see! And yes, it's never the climate change. 🚨 Dozens of beachfront buildings in Surfside, Bal Harbour, Miami Beach & Sunny Isles are sinking into the ground at rates that were “unexpected,” research by the University of Miami found.

ICYMI: One of the ways in which they will try to attack our health care next year is by proposing Medicaid "block grants". Here's what that really means. P.S. watch the full #CareTalk episode for more on the Medicaid attacks coming our way in 2025: youtube.com/live/XF-xrhF...

The idea of giving $15 million to build a library for a group that's more likely to burn books than it is to read them...

Has there been any major post election pieces in the New York Times or Washington post focused on Trump’s age and cognitive state or does a below two percent win give one magic healing powers?

Kash Patel has the very Trumpian quality of having done so many different horrifying/disqualifying things that some of them go under the radar. For instance, this little tidbit about how Patel straight up lied to the Pentagon during a hostage rescue operation and put everyone involved in danger.

Yea they totally deserve pardons 🙄

Thank you President Biden! Keep your foot on the gas.

Billionaires are bowing down. Media figures are bending a knee. Public figures want to accommodate. It is up to us to form a new opposition. We will not back down. We must not obey.

Jack Smith plans to release his final report on the federal investigations into Trump before Inauguration Day on January 20. It’s expected to detail Smith's findings on key cases, including allegations of election subversion and mishandling of classified documents.

New trend: Mediocore

See? Gaetz was the only good one. Really nice job, everyone

Since fluoride has entered the chat today, I figured I’d repost this piece I wrote about the many 1950s and 60s American fascists who were on the cutting edge of the anti-fluoride movement. open.substack.com/pub/sethcotl...

You’ll never guess who says he is considering taking away Medicaid and food stamps from up to 70 million Americans… Did y’all wanna talk about the price of eggs still or nah?

OK BlueSky peeps. Help me encourage the owners of this site to expand video length to five minutes. Shocked to receive a “one minute video limit”! Help a brotha’ here! ❤️🌈

This is dangerous for all of us and could magnify Trumps ability to damage the US. What are recess appointments and how could Trump use them to fill his Cabinet?

NEW: Trump wants his criminal lawyers at DOJ, RFK Jr. at HHS, and no one holding him back. Tonight, at Law Dork: www.lawdork.com/p/trump-want...

There's a plan. Trump announces Gaetz as AG. Gaetz resigns from the House. Gaetz hopes this prevents the release of a "highly damaging" ethics report. But...if the report doesn't come out, senators should request it for his confirmation hearing.

House Ethics Cmte investigation into Gaetz remained ongoing, which is obviously why Gaetz suddenly resigned from Congress. The committee's report was about to be made public—clearly a document every Senator must be allowed to read. Take action: actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...
