And to think we could have had a sane, serious government run by an intelligent person who would have acted in the best interests of Americans, and not Vladimir Putin.

A maximum display of ignorance and malice from Vance today.

Trump is now proposing to sell a $5 million "gold card" that will provide a fast-track to citizenship for the ultra-wealthy. He's doing this as he tries to place restrictions on certain forms legal immigration, including pausing admission to refugees displaced by violence.

This hits hard… “Then she was fired by a Fox News weekend host.” You know what else hits hard? The fact that voters thought it was a good idea to hire a reality show host/bankrupt businessman as President of the United States.

As Elon Musk guts entire government agencies and fires thousands of federal workers that deliver vital services to the country, remember that his corporations have received at least $38 billion in government contracts over the past 20 years. Yet will any of this be touched by DOGE? Of course not.

Billionaire owner of Washington Post seizes control of opinion page. Will focus nearly exclusively to promote rightwing libertarianism. "Viewpoints opposing those pillars will be left to be published by others." Democracy Docket will expand its pro-democracy opinion section. www.democracydocket.com

Elon Musk: "We will make mistakes. We won't be perfect ... so for example, with USAID, one of the things we accidentally canceled very briefly was ebola prevention."

What Musk Does Not Mention Is He Is Eliminating All The Agencies That Regulate His Businesses Or The Fact That The Cuts He Is Making Are Not Being Used To Reduce The Debt But To Fund A Multi Trillion Dollar Tax Cut- For The Richest Americans

Trump went to the South this weekend. Not to visit flood victims in Kentucky, but to have his security drive him around a race track. He doesn’t give a shit about you or your needs. He’s on a vanity tour for the next four years. - Rep Swalwell

This country has seen some bad moments in the 61 years, 5 months, 16 days I’ve been on this Earth. But it has never, ever before come close to the supertoxic level of stupidity, mendacity, narcissism, nihilism, and moral apathy that threaten to destroy it today.

These absolute morons are going to destroy the United States. If you’re in favor of the US leaving NATO, you either don’t want the US to succeed, or you don’t know wtf NATO does. Worth noting that Mike Lee voted to expand NATO in 2022.

"When you see something that is not right, not fair, not just, you have a moral obligation to do something about it." - John Lewis. It's not enough to simply recognize something is wrong; we have a moral duty to act.

“The thing that I can’t get over is that the actual richest man in the world directed my fucking firing. I make $50k a year and work to keep drinking water safe. The richest man in the world decided that was an expense too great for the American taxpayer.”

The irony of the richest man in the world almost single-handedly destroying an agency designed to help the world’s poor, so that the U.S. federal budget has more room for another giant tax cut for the richest man in the world and his pals, should not be lost on anyone. [Cartoon by Mike Luckovich]

We need Pete.

TRUMP INCOMPETENCE LEADING TO AMERICAN IMPOTENCE!!! THIS IS FUCKED UP!!! www.cnn.com/2025/02/14/c...

This is about as disturbing as it gets. When Trump says he plans to be a dictator, there’s no reason not to believe him.

Seriously? Someone arrest his ass already.

To honor one of the most compassionate Americans we've ever known, consider an act of kindness today, for a loved one or even a stranger, however small. Be the reason someone feels seen today. Sometimes all it takes is a kind word or a sincere gesture. It will make Jimmy smile.

This didn’t get enough media attention when it happened so I’m posting it again. The Biden’s were not only innocent, they were framed. And the GOP knew it and amplified the lie anyway.

If we all find 100 posts to like every day, engagement and good will on @bsky.app grows exponentially. Is it worth a few minutes to make the platform stronger ?

Literally..
