Reports indicate that a French scientist was detained while trying to enter the U.S. after he criticized tRump's funding cuts to science. He was heading to a conference when U.S. Customs & Border Protection apprehended him based on messages discovered on his phone. www.newsweek.com/french-scien...

♿Social Security is NOT just for Seniors. It's also for people like me with Disabilities, people who receive Survivors Benefits & Veterans who receive Social Security benefits.

Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen in Kyiv with world leaders calls Zelensky a hero, fighting a war for 3 years which was started by Russia. She urges Europe to increase support to UKR now, says Zelensky must be at the center of any negotiations with Putin #Voices4Victory youtu.be/JNs6wRvSpSU

The cowardice of the GOP has been astounding 👇 #TraitorTrump

Author Timothy Snyder will be doing a call with Red Wine and Blue Tuesday night. This is a perfect way to prepare for whatever the State of the Union, threats of authoritarianism and what we can do to resist it! He puts things in clear and understandable terms social.redwine.blue/s/b4p75aB8

I have questions! And concerns! #HandsOffOurSocialSecurity And fuck off!

📸 No one follows more etiquette rules than the Royal Family—but notice how King Charles didn’t make any smart-ass or demeaning comments about Zelensky’s attire today. Why? Because respect isn’t about clothes—it’s about character. And that’s something money can’t buy.

NEW: Senator Marshall (R-KS) RUNS AWAY, fleeing his own town hall after being asked about DOGE firing Veterans. MAKE HIM GO VIRAL.

HERO vs ZERO I'm in a state of shock & still trying to process yesterday's shameful, traitorous debacle in the WH: A DAY THAT WILL LIVE IN INFAMY. Our standing in the world has plummeted overnight, but the repercussions will be felt forevermore. #SlavaUkraini🇺🇦 #ShameOnUS🇺🇸

If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company. It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create. They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms. I’m happy to invest and/or help

The flying public needs answers. How many FAA personnel were just fired? What positions? And why?

Because you are sucking up to the owner of your newspaper?

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

As @petebuttigieg.bsky.social wrote on another platform: “The flying public needs answers. How many FAA personnel were just fired? What positions? And why?”

When a judge stops the president from doing something illegal, that’s not a “threat to democracy,” that’s a check on the president’s power. That's the whole damn point.

Imagine if @aoc @sanders.senate.gov , every dem, SIMULTANEOUSLY held Town Halls where they allowed grant and contract recipients to explain to the country what it is they do and why it's important Invite all media. Including RW podcasters. @spaces Flood the zone Call it a Day Of Transparency

Hey, here’s some of what @thedemocraticparty.bsky.social did today 👋🏽

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what Trump did.

Just peeked at x. Immediately felt angst! No thanks. I like the calmer Bluesky!

For the incredibly obnoxious Stephen Miller: love to see you in a debate with Pete Buttigieg!

Normalize pronouncing DOGE as DOUCHE.
