So, Macron wouldn’t shake T’s hand. Are we going to have to call them “freedom fries” again now?

OMFG

I believe Metro would tear down the Parthenon for the right price.

Those hangover eye bags and broken blood vessels ain’t gonna conceal themselves. What did y’all expect?

It’s #EarthDay — but some folks still treat our planet like it’s disposable. Let’s be real: Black and Brown communities feel the impact of environmental neglect first and worst. I’m fighting for clean air, safe water, and a livable future for all of us.

U.S. immigration detention is a profit-driven enterprise. Private corporations like GEO Group and CoreCivic receive billions in federal contracts, earning daily revenue per detainee. The more migrants detained, the greater the profit—turning human suffering into a business model.

To the world: We are fighting back. Our movement has been silenced by the media here—but we are not backing down. This is what our streets looked like across multiple cities. Tomorrow, there will be more of us! Raise a glass to freedom. —With love, Your American allies.

I wonder how many people realize the tariff on auto parts causes car insurance premiums to go up?

WOW! My friend @booker.senate.gov just spoke on the Senate floor for over 24 HOURS, blocking Trump’s dangerous & disastrous agenda, and BREAKING THE RECORD of a man who stood in the way of civil rights! This is what Democrats must do in this moment: stand up, disrupt, make good trouble!

Agence France-Presse reported that Putin on Friday called for a transitional government to be put in place in Ukraine, which could effectively push out Zelenskyy.

With their leaves and needles, the trees act like giant filters. One ha. of beech forest can filter around 70 tons of dust out of the air every year, a ha. of spruce forest as much as 30 tons. In addition trees produce oxygen. Forests and parks as "green lungs" are important.🌳🌲

It's simple. Selling off our public Postal Service would only benefit big business, not communities who rely on mail the most.

Does this mean we have to add the “u” back to color, neighbor, etc.? Will we get mandatory afternoon tea breaks at work? www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

Is #StepDownSchumer trending yet?

Starting March 28 everything you say to Alexa goes to Amazon and you can NOT opt out. So, absolutely do NOT say ten times a day, "Jeff Bezos is a Nazi." Please don't do that, sweeties.

Plenty of Republicans understand if these agencies and broadcasting services are shuttered or gutted, authoritarian and totalitarian powers will readily fill the vacuum. Time to hear from them. @cathyyoung63.bsky.social from the recent archives: www.thebulwark.com/p/are-voice-...

I do NOT agree with Schumer voting for the CR, but he literally just won his re-election in 2024 & will not be up for election until 2030; a primary is not even an option. Let's see how the Democrats vote, that will tell you who have the courage to FIGHT for their constituents & for OUR Democracy!🙏💙

I wonder what it's like to live in a serious country.

Hello there, baby sunflower.

What All severe hazards - straight line winds, hail, tornadoes - along with heavy rainfall. When Rd 1: 2 AM to 4 AM Sat. Rd 2: Sat afternoon-night. Rds 1&2 may meld into one continuous event. Blog out soon.

We’ve been extra good boys today so the human air fried our favorite. #BostonTerrier

We've been, correctly, beating them up for not doing anything. Today they did something and they deserve credit. Nice job, Dems. More, please.

Just … wow

I hope that includes Ivermectin before the next pandemic.

I need to speak to Mother Nature’s manager.

I'm warm and in a house. Open Table Nashville seeks to help fellow Nashvillians who aren't. We'll vouch for this org. Giving feels good. And it's going to be extremely cold this week.

Finally!

I love screwing with bots. Hey, @morgfair.bsky.social, you’ve got a doppelgänger.

Daaaamn, Tom Brady deflated his face too.

Now THIS would actually work- consumerism is powerfully but we would have to get the word out and stick together. Are you in??!

I’ve gotten a couple of fundraising emails from @kamalahqofficial.bsky.social in the past week. Not one penny until I see Democrats do more than wringing their hands and whining on social media. And where the hell is Harris? Haven’t seen her leading the charge to resist the coming fascism.

Ain't good. Compared to Senate Dems, House Dems have less leverage. One exception is the budget fight. But here's the Dem House Leader TODAY declining to use that leverage. If you have a Dem rep, ask them to use their leverage. And tell them to tell Jeffries to lead. Stay tuned - more to come.

Fuck this noise.

Happy 4th Gotcha Day to this goofy, sweet boy. He makes me laugh every day. #BostonTerrier

WHO IS ATTACKING US? There should be a public effort to identify any Musk/DOGE staffers in OMB, Treasury & OPM. Take their photos, badges & get identifying info. This attack cannot be allowed to happen in secrecy. It’s NOT a game. We have a RIGHT to know who is in our computers & private files.

Another agency off the grid. Is anyone awake? @booker.senate.gov ker.senate.gov @whitehouse.senate.gov e.senate.gov @schiff.senate.gov nate.gov @schumer.senate.gov mer.senate.gov @aoc.bsky.social sky.social @maddow.msnbc.com ddow.msnbc.com @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com @insidewithpsaki.msnbc.com

My last two Volkswagens and my former Ford Focus were all built in Mexico. Wonder if the #TrumpTariffs will affect car prices?
