In the hour of darkness and peril and fear, let’s all channel a little Paul Revere. @hcrichardson.bsky.social #paulrevere #boston250

Dark Ferris Bueller.

Americans are entitled to and should demand better than this from the President of the United States.

The VA says it's about to shut down the only low-interest, affordable loan modification option for thousands of vets who are behind on their mortgages. We want to hear your story.

This country is becoming unrecognizable. What we’re seeing is state-funded fear. We’ve warned people: keep filming, go live on social media so these moments are documented and shared. This wasn’t a case involving masked ICE agents—but that’s happening too.

This is a line in the sand moment

This is EXACTLY how an opposition party fights back! THANK YOU, @vanhollen.senate.gov! Thank you for keeping this gross violation of due process and civil rights in the news! I can't tell you how much it means to see you fight like this. I'm so grateful for my Senators.

After massive public backlash, the Social Security Administration is rolling back its disastrous cuts to phone services. This is a huge victory for the public against DOGE's rampage. Keep up the fight.

Boston was out in full force today ✊🏼

OK, let’s see the best signs that you saw today.

This!

MUST WATCH: Rümeysa Öztürk’s legal team reads her first statement since detention outside of courthouse. The government must immediately release Rümeysa Öztürk from custody. The First Amendment protects all of us — regardless of citizenship status.

Do you know who laid the foundation for the FDA? President Theodore Roosevelt. Do you know why? Because he read a great piece of literature that exposed the mistreatment of immigrant workers and the disgusting, unsanitary practices in meatpacking plants… The book is called “The Jungle.”

“Citizens United,” fuck John Roberts! 🦋💙🦋 www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

No, Elon. 40% of people who call Social Security's 1-800 number are not fraudsters, Social Security is not a Ponzi scheme & nobody who is 150 years old is getting a Social Security check. Stop the lies. Stop the disinformation. Get your billionaire hands off Social Security.

BREAKING: Trump admin says it mistakenly deported a Maryland father who had *withholding of removal* back to El Salvador on March 15. Govt told court Monday it won't bring Kilmar Abrego Garcia back. "What.The.Fuck..." one govt attorney told me. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc... @theatlantic.com

📌If Merrick Garland worked in the French courts Marine Le Pen would be the French President by now ...

🌮 Quick lunch break at El Taco Amigo in DeLand — amazing food, even better people. Supporting small businesses like this one is what keeps our communities strong. Grateful for the warm welcome and the delicious tacos! 🌟

Goldberg: "Hegseth is promising that US warplanes are taking off in 30 minutes to bomb enemy targets that we know are protected by anti-aircraft batteries. If that's not the most sensitive information, the most secret info in the world, I simply don't know what the meaning of 'classified' is."

If Trumpty-Dumpty is working with the Russians to screw up America, he's doing a great job. Eggs, $11 a dozen. Health & Human Services down the dumper, ditto VA. If you call Social Security, they tell you to call back later. Guys 'n gals, this is more fucked up than Peter O'Toole on his birthday.

Make this go viral! Her husband’s life was put at risk by the Signal texts.

When scholars of authoritarianism and fascism leave U.S. universities because of the deteriorating political situation here, we should really worry.

Disappeared Tufts Human Dev. PhD student Rumesya Ozturk is also a graduate of Teachers College - she’s a dev. psychologist studying children’s media & prosocial development. She also bakes without recipes and binge-watches cartoons. She is our colleague & she was abducted on the street w/ our tax $.

I’m just saying! 🤷🏻‍♀️😂

Clown show.

When you erase the history of the code talkers, you are erasing the history of the Second World War. www.washingtonpost.com/investigatio...

Donald, bring it. I’m so tired of your victimy whiney belly aching crap. You friggin won and you STILL are complaining all the time. BRING IT YOU SMALL LITTLE BOY

share this. probably nothing humiliates donald trump more than people knowing he sucks ass at golf too

This is a very sad story, but what makes me crazy is that people tried to explain that this is what would happen and got caricatured as "woke" hysterics www.usatoday.com/story/news/n...

The eventual fate of the GOP

Trump’s attempt to assert control over Columbia University is a threat to free speech, says Wesleyan University President Michael Roth. He warns against “this effort to make everyone align with the government.” “People have a right to express their opinions,” says Roth. #Velshi

I’m struck by how close we’re getting to finally curing some of the world’s worst diseases—sickle cell, Alzheimers, pancreatic cancer, etc.—at the same time that the world’s worst people are destroying medical research and care around the world.

This is exactly what I have been saying for a while now. At this point, it’s not left vs right that matters, but fighters vs non-fighters. The Dems, and the American people, need fighters.

Poetic and utterly true.

King George forgot his meds this morning.

I’m shocked. Trump, Vance and Musk have been telling us that Putin wants peace.

Protesters outside the Capitol from @nationalnurses.bsky.social, @popdemoc.bsky.social, @debtcollective.bsky.social and other groups continuing their hours-long protest over possible cuts to Medicaid and Trump admin’s broader comments on social programs.
