“So far, the most energetic opposition has come not from civic leaders but from everyday citizens, showing up at Congressional town hall meetings or participating in Hands Off rallies across the country. “Our leaders must follow their example.” Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2025/05/08/o...

This is absolutely horrifying! It's another way of othering. What nazi scheme is next in this fascist regime? Send people with various diagnoses to gas chambers?

In New York, ICE detained a busload of farmworkers that were actively involved in a union drive. In Washington state, ICE dragged a farmworkers’ rights activist and leader out of his car to detain him. Be warned: attacking unions is a hallmark of fascism.

I miss having a President who is intelligent, eloquent, diplomatic, and kind.

Let us be the sunlight that destroys the mold upon our nation.

It is not safe for the World Cup and 2028 Olympics to be held in the United States due to the policies of the Trump regime. Please sign this petition asking FIFA and the Olympic committee to reconsider. sign.moveon.org/petitions/fi...

💰Felon ran for President to stay out of jail. Now, he uses his job as a giant ATM machine for his Children and Himself, while snatching Food, medicine, life saving tax payer programs. His trips to ‘make greasy deals to enrich himself & his ADULT kids. Cut him off our money.

This MF went from "everything will be cheaper" to "you will have some financial pain" to "your kids won't have toys for Christmas" to "I'm gonna have a birthday parade that it will cost millions" within 100 days

Three ER visits. 20 hours of suffering. Two ultrasounds to prove a fetus had died. Nevaeh Crain was 18. Texas law killed her. Abortion bans chilled doctors into inaction. Now she’s gone. #BlueSky #MedSky #ObSky #PedSky #NurseSky www.propublica.org/article/neva...

Last week, Trump confirmed plans to hold a military parade on his birthday. Rather than give Trump the self-congratulatory show he's seeking, thousands will gather across the nation for No Kings Day. @ezralevin.bsky.social & Jen Rubin discuss the power of collective action to save our democracy:

It's so disturbing . . . A way to try to silence us and put us in what they deem to be "our place".

This is appalling in how inhumane it is! I hate the fact that the U.S. is subsidizing Israeli military operations.

I've attended every week since March 15th, when there were a total of 42 of us. It continues to grow. It's a great way to be in community as we peacefully STAND UP, FIGHT BACK. THIS IS WHAT DEMOCRACY LOOKS LIKE!!!

Yes! It's not anti-semitic to call out genocide.

“If you are watching this right now and you’re thinking I don’t want a king in this county, good news: Neither do we. And you can be part of this.” - @ezralevin.bsky.social We’re mobilizing nationwide on June 14 to say No Kings. Find an event near you or start one: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

I just called my reps with @5calls.org, you should too: 5calls.org

There is so much that breaks my heart these days. It's wonderful to see something that deeply touches my heart like this does. 💙💗

The experts in resisting fascism and tyranny say this is the most effective strategy . . . as long as it is done peacefully.

Can’t find one near you? Organize one! #NoKings

We ALL must show up in mass to peacefully make this the largest protest in the history of our nation. #NoKings

Trump doesn't care who he offends. He acts like he thinks he's above the Law, the Church, and even God.

Thousands of small grants to libraries and scholars were cut. Instead, "the agency announced it would be redirecting $17 million of its funding to create the National Garden of American Heroes, a patriotic statuary park" www.nytimes.com/2025/05/02/a...

Donald Trump is a symptom of a deeper sickness of inequality, disillusionment, and division. The cure? Economic and social justice. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zTQoc5Jrciw

DOGE initially promised to save taxpayers $2 trillion.  Now it admits it's only delivered $160B in cuts. And even those minimal savings are nearly wiped out by the cost of implementing DOGE's cuts: $135B. We're losing vital government services for basically nothing in return.

At a time of massive inequality, Trump's budget is breathtaking in its degree of cruelty. It slashes funding for health care, housing & education that the working class desperately needs in order to pay for more tax breaks for billionaires & the Pentagon. That is morally obscene.

International students, visa holders, and green card residents are being targeted by ICE for exercising their First Amendment rights. If you live in a state with a Democratic attorney general, urge your AG to defend due process and the right to dissent: bluestatedefiance.org/ice

I know, norms and all that, but the default Dem position should be: We think this is illegal but if the courts say you can do this then we are going to rip the guts out of the entire conservative movement. No more Heritage, FedSoc, etc. All of them lose their tax exempt status.

Senate Republicans voted to kill an EPA rule limiting the seven most hazardous air pollutants emitted by chemical plants and other industrial facilities. Inhaling even small amounts of these pollutants can cause brain damage and cancer. How is this Making America Healthy Again?

I sure as hell hope there's a GoFundMe for this family. This is completely unacceptable. Trump's ICE gang is a terrorist organization. None of these dicks have a goddamn clue or proper training. Get them out of power, NOW.
