This conversation is definitely worth the watch.

Just sent to my Democratic senators. Use as a script for your own calls (202/224-3121) or emails. I use @resist.bot.

Thanks Harvard, for taking a stand. Perhaps we should all stand together….

Who is this man?

Chief Justice John Roberts on Friday granted a temporary stay on lower court orders that would have compelled the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), led by Elon Musk, to publicly disclose operational details. It figures. 😡 www.newsweek.com/supreme-cour...

Go over 5000 reposts on a thread about vaccines and man you get some stupid motherfuckers in your mentions.

Democratic voters issued a massive rebuke of their own party last year by just refusing to show up on election day & instead of a major shakeup its leaders are spending big on consultants to find a Youtube salesman that can help a small group of septuagenarians no one likes cling to power.

Breaking News!

@aoc.bsky.social is absolutely correct. We are in a class war.

I hope legacy media covers the connection between last night's memecoin dinner and this morning's social media tariff threats. He's manipulating the stock market.

The ignorant, fragile man-child who couldn't admit he lost an election also can't admit he doesn't know how tariffs work. This is why we're screwed.

It’s so fascinating to watch. How one man can sow such destruction. How one very bad, stupid, ignorant, cruel, dishonest, and psychopathic man can/will ruin and destroy so many lives. But here’s the thing. None of this is a surprise. Every single voter knew exactly who he was.

Really American Deleting Trump's Transcripts: In a shocking development, it has been revealed that the White House is deleting ALL of the Trump transcripts, especially those that have damning proof of his rapid cognitive decline. This needs to be a bigger story.

So we’ve got $90 million to throw the parade he wanted, but we don’t have the money to fix North Carolina. Got it!

As we remember our fallen we also honor those in Ukraine. The brave men and women who answered the call and gave their lives defending their homeland. The citizens who carry on through bombings and so much loss Consider supporting them with donations if you are able: u24.gov.ua 🇺🇦 Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦

"In a 24 hour period of time, the president is stealing health care from 15 million Americans, making the poorest 10% of Americans even poorer, while he dines lavishly with foreign oligarchs." - @chrismurphyct.bsky.social

Remember, Johnson was a key architect in efforts to overturn the 2020 election. Now, he's Speaker of the House, pushing policies that undermine democracy and favor the elite. #DemocracyUnderAttack #StopJohnson #ElectionDenier

"Donald Trump's dinner is a orgy of corruption...Donald Trump is using the presidency of the United States to make himself richer through crypto." - @warren.senate.gov

Hayes: Every provision in this program is cruel and they know it. That's why none of them spoke on it in committee. That's why they have no response. That's why they don't hold town halls. That's why they don't answer questions. All they do is tweet, repeat, and hide in the back until they vote yes

The fight for democracy is the fight of our generation. It may not be the battle we wanted, but it is the one we face. The state of our democracy and the future of our country depends on our willingness to take risks, ignore the naysayers, weather setbacks and fight fiercely for democracy.

Trump wont say who will be attending his meme-coin all-access VIP dinner because it’s on his “personal time.” He’s the “President”. He doesn’t punch a time card and magically stop having that job. If he’s meeting with Kim Jong Un or Kanye f’ng West, the American people have a right to know.

Warnock: You literally have, in real time, the leader of another nation-state—in this case, South Africa—there to talk to him about trade, and he’s saying, “Sorry, Mr. President, we don’t have a plane to offer you.” And you see why we have an Emoluments Clause in the first place.

Frost: Tonight the people stealing are not folks with tattoos and hoodies but people wearing suits and ties and congressional pins sitting in the capitol now, not in some alley wrapped in darkness but the United States congress wrapped in the flag. It is disgusting and we will never forget this.

Dear press: Why do questions of mental acuity activate only with the prior but not the current administration? Asking for a nation.

🚨 CNN published intercepted calls revealing Russian forces directing the execution of Ukrainian POWs: “Capture the commander, kill the others.” These atrocities happened late last year, with over 20 investigations now underway into POW executions ordered by senior commanders.

NEW: After four months of reporting, ProPublica found that the warnings about Helene were eerily accurate. Yet, local residents remained largely unaware of the enormity of danger approaching as the storm closed in. By @jenniferberryhawes.bsky.social @mrsimon22.bsky.social @cgaribay.bsky.social

250 years ago, Americans rejected a mad king. On June 14, we’re gathering again for a nationwide day of defiance to say NO KINGS. Nearly 1,000 events are planned in all 50 states to show the world what democracy really looks like. Please join us on No Kings Day: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

Sec. Noem oversees hundreds of thousands of employees across 10 agencies—many with the power to arrest citizens. She should understand what 'habeas corpus' means. The fact that she doesn’t is deeply concerning and raises serious questions: Does she know her job? Has she even read the Constitution?

The Zelens’kyi ambush was antisemitic, and this one was racist. Good presentation here by NYT. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/21/u...

Ansari: I sit on the Natural Resources Committee, where we witnessed the most anti-environment legislation go through. It includes massive giveaways to the oil and gas industry. I discovered that the chairman had purchased hundreds of thousands of dollars’ worth of oil and gas stocks.

Now Republicans are cutting Medicare too! LIARS

Judge Murphy: the removals “obviously” violated his prior order. He said the government notified seven immigrants — from Mexico, Cuba, Myanmar, Laos and Vietnam — the *day before they were deported* that they would be sent to South Sudan, which is on the brink of civil war. wapo.st/4k7T6FS.

A new analysis estimates the Trump/GOP budget's rollback of clean energy tax credits will eliminate nearly 830,000 jobs by 2030 and raise energy prices by 50% by 2035.  Just another way the "big beautiful bill" will make the economy worse and your life more expensive.

This thing’s out in paperback

LISTEN as GOP Sen. Johnson admits the GOP tax scam will increase the deficit by $4 trillion with the Big Beautiful Bill, and that Medicaid will be cut: "Now what are you going to cut? Medicaid, absolutely" #StopTheBillionaireBailout

A rogue president with a loyal DOJ isn’t unstoppable, unless we act like peasants. Courts can stop him. States can sue him. Whistleblowers can expose him. But it takes all of us, loud, sharp, fed up. Power bends to pressure. So push. Hard. Clean House with your votes, or get steamrolled. Our call.

Trump will host a private dinner tomorrow for the top buyers of his memecoin, which has made him the world's newest crypto billionaire. The top 25 coin buyers will get a "VIP White House tour." Call it what it is: corruption.

we need a Democratic party for the left
