Proud of New Mexico we’re one of them!

That aligns with the blood moon that'll happen march 13-14. Ominous. Also Trump=antichrist. The antichrist is supposed to be defeated after a blood moon, solar eclipse, & stars falling from the sky. Theres an eclipse on march 29, & a meteor shower on April 20 on Easter sunday. Plz god let it end...

kathleenreads.bsky.social•80 days ago

Screw elon and count on democracy.

mrs-roo1.bsky.social•80 days ago

It should be more than 14 states bringing suit!

jmarieattorney.bsky.social•80 days ago

🙏🏿 for justice to stop this coup.

obregonia.bsky.social•80 days ago

I won't be able to listen due to work. Is there a live news stream that I could keep check on? I'm guessing no, but it doesn't hurt to ask.

the-dude-abides.bsky.social•79 days ago

And how did it go?

thelollness.bsky.social•80 days ago

So… motion on TRO started?

thelollness.bsky.social•80 days ago

I CAN’T GET THROUGH

sbeekeeper.bsky.social•79 days ago

Elon musk is currently living in a federal building. Isn't that against the law?

etthejet.bsky.social•80 days ago

I got through, but it was the incorrect hearing.

fuzzypissykitty.bsky.social•79 days ago

I guess only 14 states are the only ones who care about their people.

Save money by starving smerican children and deny them healthcare to pay for trips to the superbowl, Daytona, and various golf courses. Almost forgot, tax payers also paid millions to Elon and his posse squad of unf***able dorks. smh

ryosuke-kuma.bsky.social•80 days ago

In 2020, trump defended his hundreds of millions in taxpayer money going to his own resorts to play golf, was his "exercise".

For less than the cost of his wife's hairstylist,he could hire a full time physical trainer in the whitehouse.

But the ACA is "wasteful". Disgusting, racist, bigoted idiot

jeanmoulin4ever.bsky.social•80 days ago

hurricaneheidi.bsky.social•79 days ago

Plus his Superbowl trip.
Total dosgrace

striker5.bsky.social•78 days ago

Let's stop being petty and focus on real waste!

perseph8ne.bsky.social•80 days ago

And the most important part is - if they are told to stop - WILL THEY? Or will we need to stop them???

sarahsuzanne.bsky.social•80 days ago

THIS is action!!!

mlpuryear.bsky.social•80 days ago

Isn’t court closed today? Federal holiday

boatsyy.bsky.social•80 days ago

Where are all the other states? How can republicans be this evil? They are all working together to destroy everything. Take them out.

watcherintherye.bsky.social•80 days ago

If anyone wants an inspiring read in these bleak times, find a biography of Dag Hammarskjöld the second Secretary General of the UN. A truly selfless man.

Republican budget adds $25 trillion to national debt

#GOP-mega-Debt

Where are the cuts and firings at the Pentagon?

cardinalcreek.bsky.social•80 days ago

Very discouraging: the judge keeps saying that there is no evidence of imminent threat...

gonzoengineer.bsky.social•80 days ago

This may be the most important lawsuit in the nation's history. If it fails, it marks the end of the Constitution. All of my Congress critters (all GOP) have stopped answering their phones.

meraa32.bsky.social•80 days ago

Lawsuits are great, but we need more force. Elon Musk having access to my ssn, banking information & my employment information is something I’m fucking LIVID about.

gina-teixeira.bsky.social•80 days ago

The number isn’t working. Is there another way?

friedalouise.bsky.social•80 days ago

I’m having the same problem.

knitshark.bsky.social•80 days ago

As am I.

attikusfinch.bsky.social•80 days ago

The tech bros have taken over and It’s way worse than you think..watch this …help us spread the word and figure out how to petition SCOTUS now to stop them immediately. Don’t wait another hour. It’s dark scary shit that is going down. Do it. Now!

On this day honoring Presidents Washington&Lincoln, let's remember: Washington rejected kingship to uphold republican values, but today, America risks being ruled by a king, & the USG risks becoming one of, by, and for billionaires. We face a historic test—can we meet the challenge of our time?

lucyjbri.bsky.social•80 days ago

Should be more than 11

jerseydude282.bsky.social•80 days ago

Finally. I hope that the motherfuckers actually obey the courts

yetid.bsky.social•79 days ago

Where are our intelligence services and law enforcement responding to this extremely dangerous data grab/security breach? This is illegal and is making us extremely unsafe!

grnlght.bsky.social•80 days ago

Stop, bock and a restraining order no closer then 1000 yards from any gov building. PERIOD

tom2050.bsky.social•80 days ago

Awesome

myarticles.bsky.social•80 days ago

If Americans don't start a revolt or rebellion against an Trump's government, you will all be living like the Russian population. Just a warning, Trump is not engaging with Putin about Ukraine, it is believed that virtually all power in USA is in the hands of its president, Vladimir Putin.

Not able to get through

Organize the resistance. Here's the plan.

bellathelab.bsky.social•80 days ago

Wondering why more states haven’t signed on…

gadgetgirl.bsky.social•80 days ago

Because the red states don't care, and there is a cost to filing these lawsuits.
I think the blue states need to form a coalition and form a cohesive defense, so they can all join the lawsuits without bankrupting the state.

bellathelab.bsky.social•80 days ago

Red states are for 2024 are not necessarily red. Some of the seven swing states have democratic AGs. Cost may be the determinative factor as you note.

gadgetgirl.bsky.social•80 days ago

Yes, but are they going to be part of these lawsuits? So far, doesn't seem so.

permanentmajority.bsky.social•80 days ago

jeffreylygon.bsky.social•80 days ago

And if the judge does not block the illegal DOGE from destroying our administrative state then it's time to take to the streets folks.

bonnjny.bsky.social•80 days ago

Many people are hitting the streets today in protest. Will this be recorded?

plannedtheride.bsky.social•80 days ago

"Public access is available by calling..."

The line is not responding!

Thank you, Democracy Docket, the work you are doing is so important and is making a difference. You Rock! 💙😏

qabinofblue.bsky.social•80 days ago

hmm but what are the other parts of the strategy aside from amicus briefs? he mentions other strategies besides “legal” but what are they, I wonder?

sallijane.bsky.social•78 days ago

sallijane.bsky.social•79 days ago

just saw this; will look for results

rosetea.bsky.social•80 days ago

I listened in. I refuse to call it by an acronym for the drearily ordinary guy’s ego. They want to be treated like special government agents but not have their names associated with the bloodbath they are forcing agencies to enact.

ckdcaorok1969.bsky.social•79 days ago

Do your laundry Justice Roberts. Here it comes.

queenmab99.bsky.social•80 days ago

GOOD!

glendales.bsky.social•80 days ago

Not going well so far for getting the TRO … no “imminent” threat or “irreparable” harm. Judge C gives TRO example of a patient will die tomorrow if surgery not performed, or building will be demolished tomorrow w/o. Sounds like “prophylactic TRO” to her…what’s the immediacy?

glendales.bsky.social•80 days ago

Call won’t go through! Ugh

glendales.bsky.social•80 days ago

Kept trying a got in finally

radsenior.bsky.social•80 days ago

Treacherous and MAGA are doing all they can to disrupt our government!
They are throwing feces around to distract and destroy!
Treason and MAGA attack free speech, the Press and Congressionally approved departments/Agencies!
America's voters must get involved!
"Do Something!"
DON'T SIT AND WATCH !
