I agree @cbcradiocanada.bsky.social should not be normalizing the situation with a headline like "what Canada as the 51st state means to you?" Canada is not the 51st state & the threat to our sovereignty should be taken seriously, not used as clickbaity fodder. Shame @ianhanomansing.bsky.social

This is how I would respond to the email Musk has had sent to government employees (not legal advice). 1. Refused to violate the law. 2. Refused to violate the Constitution. 3. Refused to bow or scrape. 4. Refused to bend a knee. 5. Deleted this stupid email.

I keep wondering if Edolf made Donald promise Don Jr. would be silent. Cuz isn't it weird Jr. hasn't said one sniffing thing?

I think it’s not helpful to repeat claims that the administration is working on eliminating “DEIA” as though it’s some kind of corporate strategy; just say explicitly that they’re trying to eliminate diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility, and explain how.

Yeah, these federal workers actually understand what they do for us and how devastating these cuts are for us. It'd be great if the media could explain that clearly instead of taking Elon Musk's word that he's magically produced "savings" that come with no downside.

Protests happen when they happen, if you can only show up on certain days show up on those days, if no protest is available on your dates then organize one, open your own spaces. Protests need to be daily, but not everyone is expected to show up daily. Do what you can when you can. Just show up.

In my dream world where we had a functioning White House Press Corp, Trump would be asked why we're no longer protecting all Americans by tracking abusive cops. No one benefits from this except corrupt police. I want him to explain why this is good. How much do you want to bet that no one asks?

@chrismurphyct.bsky.social: It’s 4am—still debating the Republicans’ billionaire tax giveaway. We offered an amendment to say no tax cut for those making over $10m. Every Republican voted no. So we tried $100m. Every Repub voted no. So we tried $500m! Every Republican a no. See what’s going on?

One of the first targets here will almost certainly be blocking the mailing of abortion medications like mifepristone. If I'm right, it'll be a the biggest blow to reproductive freedom since the repeal of Roe.
