“Will you demand the immediate resignation of Pete Hegseth, Michael Waltz, and the rest of the group chat” Spartz: No Crowd: Booo

Your regular reminder that the US air & water pollution laws passed in the 60s & 70s -- and the elaborate federal bureaucracy created to administer them -- constitute one of the most successful gov't interventions in history. WILDLY successful. The envy of the world.

The best way to confront a bully about the misinformation he is spreading is to confront him in front of everyone. Macron just did that.

BREAKING: Judge in our Treasury case vs. DOGE just raised profound "concerns about constitutionality of DOGE"! She follows Judge Chutkan who also raised questions last week We @sddaction.bsky.social will be in Md. Fed. Ct. Friday in our appointments clause case to prove DOGE is unconstitutional

U.S. Attorneys are not the President’s lawyers. They are the United States’ lawyers. You didn’t pledge an oath to a President, you pledged it to the constitution. This statement alone is reason enough to resign.

There's one Democrat out there fighting, he's on tour, his message is loud and clear and the crowds are growing. See video and photos: truthkast.com/bernies-back...

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social Don’t do any performative bull crap that Pelosi pulled during BLM. I don’t care what you SAY at the steps tomorrow, I care that you STOP the maga/gop tomorrow.

"There's no reason to build this in Guantánamo unless you want to do things you don't think you could get away with on the U.S. mainland. It's easy to put tents in Florida. But they're putting them in Cuba. Ask yourself why." www.commondreams.org/news/gitmo-c...

This seems really significant. The Judge will want to know how the error occurred and who fed the lawyers inaccurate information. Government lawyers are trained to make sure their representations to the court on material matters are truthful and accurate. Judge Kelley is unlikely to be pleased.

Everything seems so confusing in America right now, but this era will be easily explained in the history books: The majority of white men became afraid that they'd lose their privileged place in society, so they threw in with racist, sexist criminals in order to keep it.

@joycewhitevance.bsky.social is this a scam bc of musk?

Jessica: He had a campaign rally in the middle of what should have been a somber occasion. And these DEI policies were put in place in 2013. He had every opportunity through his first administration to revoke them if he thought they were terrible, but he didn't.

The Commander in Chief is politicizing the deaths of not only 67 lives, but three Servicemembers. His hatred for those who serve knows no bounds. His disdain for women knows no limits. His empathy for those left behind is nonexistent. Absolutely DISGRACEFUL.

NEW: At least 6 senior FBI officials have been ordered to resign or be fired by Monday. They include those that oversee cyber, national security and criminal investigations. www.cnn.com/2025/01/30/p...

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

“NPR has identified dozens of defendants with prior convictions or pending charges for crimes including rape, sexual abuse of a minor, domestic violence, manslaughter, production of child sexual abuse material and drug trafficking.” www.npr.org/2025/01/30/n...

It’s far too soon to ascribe responsibility for the horrific DC plane collision, but it’s not too soon to say that dismantling the safeguards afforded by a functioning federal government put us at significant risk. And it’s irrefutable that, since January 20th, we are all less safe.

Trump is a nationalist, not a patriot. " A nationalist encourages us to be our worst, and then tells us that we are the best. A nationalist “although endlessly brooding on power, victory, defeat, revenge,” wrote Orwell,’tends to be “uniterested in what happens in the real world.” - Timothy Snyder

Hi, I’m God. Your reality is in a Groundhog Day loop of misery until you all decide to embrace a revolutionary progressive form of politics. Lmk

Setting quotas of arrests per day. You know what happens when you have a quota to meet? Scoop them up and let the court sort it out. They will be grabbing anyone they can. No proof of citizenship on your person? Too bad. That’s an arrest. Look “illegal?” Explain it to the court someday.

100,000 Germans were protesting against fascism in Berlin... They are protesting FOR US! Entire civilized world is protesting FOR US. The question is WHY THE FUCK AREN'T WE PROTESTING!
