For. The. People.

Our last time talking about Bill Maher I swear

Truth

Larry David destroys Bill Maher in the most perfect way. (gift article)

This is really unfair to everyone who just voted for him for the racism.

This 👇🏾

NYC

This 👇🏾 President "Bonespurs" said what?

This is both an apt comparison AND perhaps the tact that ALL of us who want Ukraine supported through 'victory' of repelling the invasion of their country should start applying LOUDLY to Trump There should be memes of Chamberlain-Trump, hashtags, etc #chamberlaintrump #chump

"let us not pretend that those who have failed this moment are still good men and women. " newrepublic.com/article/1924...

I will never forget the photo of Zelenskyy’s face after he saw Russia’s war crimes in Bucha in 2022. He seemed to age years in an afternoon. Watching him constantly cross the world asking for aid that should have been thrown at him is one of the deepest shames of our age.

Senator Tammy Duckworth is a BADass. DOD deputy secretary nominee, Stephen Feinberg is a BAD deflector AND a plain ass. @duckworth.senate.gov

Finally An elected Dem with the good sense to say 'It's on them' There is no gov't shutdown that belongs to Dems GOP has the Senate, HR, and POTUS IT'S ON THEM Why is this simple messaging so hard to articulate?

@chrismurphyct.bsky.social why are you not posting on here first ? You have some great things to say. You are trying some great things. Yet you post on X where 100pct of the replies are meaningless and hateful. It's not all roses here, but the engagement has depth and real convos happen

We make a fatal error agonizing over a lack of leadership in DC. There are some leaders there who we should praise. But people have always been ahead of politicians. Stop fuming and start organizing, marching, helping.

Dear Dems. This is a reminder that Donald Trump rescinded the ethics rules preventing gifts to executive branch employees. Now would be a good time to propose legislation formalizing the prevention into a law Time to do things that make him react to you. apnews.com/article/trum...

No notes

Politico’s owner liked Vance cozying up to the Nazi-tainted AfD. Good to know.

There are protests today at Tesla showrooms around the nation. actionnetwork.org/event_campai...

Same All New Yorkers (NYC) outraged by Adams compounding his (alleged) corruption with pledged fealty to Trump's agenda rather that NYC priorities should put in call to Governor Hochul: (518) 474-8390

🔥🔥🔥 Good to see.....green shoots

Proud to be one of the 350 rabbis signing this statement — an ad in the NYT today and a declaration of our values. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025... For more—and to sign— go to saynotoethniccleansing.org

Hear hear 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Tesla's stock is ridiculously overvalued, and even a modest consumer boycott could tank the company, which accounts for the majority of Elon Musk's wealth. The divestment movement weakened apartheid South Africa. Let's do that again. slate.com/business/202...

Difficult but complete truth

Yes. While there are absolutely things Democrats can and must do to slow, obstruct, etc, GOP hold both House and Senate majorities, severely limiting our options. Johnson and Thune are handing over the own keys and relinquishing their own power. Even for the cynics this should be a shock.

this is gutsy, good for him

Why is it that of all our electeds, only AOC seems to understand how to talk about Trump and Musk right now?

Ahh.......back to every day being "Straight White Male Day"..........the way the founders intended it.....FFS .....and this will still not be enough for their snowflake fragility.....

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

@jvl.bsky.social @timmiller.bsky.social (This isn't directed at you specifically) Tired of the lazy trope that Dems are offering no resistance

A lot of people here who consider themselves progressive should take some time to decide whether they're going to spend the next four years picking niggling side fights and out-lefting the person one inch to their right, or making common cause against bigotry, cruelty, and authoritarianism.

@jvl.bsky.social @timmiller.bsky.social Thought you'd both appreciate this 👇🏾
