Seems legit.... We don't want to be a nation of underachieving Americans.

This hits hard.

As I go through a very difficult time in my life I often feel like I don’t have the strength to go on. This quote struck a chord and gave me the motivation I needed tonight. I hope it will give you some hope as well. Good Night and peace ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🫶🏽

Many are asking what should we do now? “We use our power, organize, mobilize, educate…the American story will not be written by who occupies the White House or by the wealthiest among us…it will be written by you, by ‘we the people.’” -fmr VP Kamala Harris receiving the NAACP Chairman’s Award.

We have a confused, idiotic drug addict, who wears sunglasses on TV to hide the fact that his eyes are wildly dilated, deciding how our government should work now because his boss is too incompetent to do the job himself.

“This sounds to some like a threat to Mr. Musk,” the letter continues, “an appointed representative of President Donald Trump who you call a ‘dick’—and government staff who work for him. Their concerns have led to this inquiry.”

Thank you to @jenrubin.bsky.social from the Contrarian for calling out mainstream media’s continued sanewashing of the felon’s rhetoric. @contrariannews.org

We are now finding bird flu in deer mice and house mice in Washington State. H5N1 is advancing along the evolutionary ladder—affecting birds, mammals, and humans. This is not speculation; it’s a timeline.

Hillary was right about this fucking puppet.

Is it too much to ask to want the government to stop the president from doing the illegal stuff?

Putinization of America

I’m not saying we should all panic. But maybe the government shouldn’t shut down all the systems we have for monitoring this situation. www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...

The GOP convicted felon has launched a war on the American people & our constitution. We have guardrails to stop a rogue president. But are our lawmakers? Happy to be part of it & obey, in the foolish belief that THEY will be spared. Wait for the final irony. #Opposition #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

Sweet Baby Jesus, Why did you take our brains from us? Was it the Trump bibles? Was it worshiping a golden oaf? How can we make amends?

#ProudBlue #Voices4Victory Here’s another great chart by @steverattner.bsky.social showing that the House GOP plans to cut about 10% from Medicaid & about 20% from SNAP, all while raising deficits by $2.8 trillion to pay for the wealthy tax cut renewals.

Too many Americans can’t afford to buy a house right now — and yet tonight Republicans BLOCKED our amendment to reign in hedge funds that are gobbling up real estate and jacking up prices. So much for all their talk about lowering prices for working people.

@malcolmhq.bsky.social continues to deliver the 🔥 & strength we need. “Trump and Musk’s reckless cuts put working families at risk—slashing food inspectors, air traffic controllers, and life-saving researchers. This isn’t just dangerous—it’s illegal.” Bravo Malcolm! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Can we all agree that MSM, with a few notable exceptions, is treating Trump's "admin" as if it's normal, when it's clearly not? They're not doing enough to beat back the lies/propaganda. 🤔THOUGHT: What if every resister on BlueSky were to write a letter to the editor of their local newspaper⁉️ 1/2

John Bolton confirms that Donald Trump is a "f*cking moron" and a "useful idiot." Nailed it!

Bro is in total mental decline along with the soul of our country. Irony is lost on him.

Donald Trump's day so far: - Announced he's "terminated health" - Thought long dead Muhammad Ali was in the audience - Wants to know "did anybody steal the gold" - His approval rating is dropping - He has no idea what's going on - Trump is going to hell It's still only 8:46pm

The co-presidents are dismantling the government at lightning speed but haven’t done a single thing to lower prices. In fact they’re making it worse. Why the rush?

CARTOON OF THE DAY

Taxpayer advocates and unions filed a lawsuit to block Elon Musk’s DOGE from accessing and retaining sensitive data from the IRS. Plaintiffs say "DOGE is violating multiple laws[.]"

To the @GOP senators and Congressmen who claim to support Ukraine, you do have some power… if you’re unwilling to exercise it then don’t pretend to care about your country more than your political career:
