History has its eyes on you. I hate to quote Captain America here, but this is the fight of our lives - for American democracy. #resist This account is pro-democracy, anti-fascist and also I talk about 🏈 a lot.

Expel Mike Lee

For the survivors of Saturday's terrible attack, the road to healing will be long. Please considering supporting the Hoffmans as they recover in the hospital and the Hortmans' surviving children, Colin and Sophie, at the GoFundMes below.

Hope this mess gets media exposure: Project Runway designer accidentally shot/killed at the SLC No Kings rally by a “good guy with a gun” (plain clothes cop?) trying to deter a rally supporter who was open carrying an assault rifle. The rally supporter, a punk rock “kid,” is charged with murder.

I'm gonna go back to waiting tables just so I can do this

Exactly. Term limits for Congress and money out of politics. The a-holes would drift away like a fart in the wind.

Weird how the “we’re broke” crowd goes quiet whenever war is on the table But we have to throw 11 million off health care, cut food stamps, etc right?

Podcaster & frequent Rogan guest Dave Smith on Trump’s Iran policy: “I supported him & apologize for doing so. He should be impeached & removed. His supporters should turn on him. It’s an absolute betrayal of everything he ran & campaigned on. He’ll lose his coalition on this.”

Thou shalt expel Mike Lee from the Senate and banish him from society, for he mocked and celebrated the murder of a political opponent.

In 2016 MN Police killed a Black man named Philando Castile despite him disclosing he had a legal firearm. Yesterday MN Police released a white woman named Jenny Boelter despite her car full of cash, firearms, & passports hours after her husband mass murdered people & was on the run from police.

BREAKING: A federal judge reversed National Institutes of Health's terminations of hundreds of critical research grants that were canceled because of their alleged connection to disfavored topics, including diversity, equity, inclusion, and gender identity. This is a major win for public health.

A top staffer to Sen. Tina Smith emailed Sen. Mike Lee’s top staffers on Monday about “how much additional pain you’ve caused on an unspeakably horrific weekend” Full emails below

People watching right wing propaganda still don’t get it. They’re mystified by our alarm & anger. Keep exposing the destruction. We Feds are exhausted. The war of terror continues and morale continues to sink. Our personal lives are going up in flames and our work is getting less effective.

An Afghan man who worked as a translator for the U.S. military during the war was detained by ICE after showing up for a hearing inside of a federal courthouse in San Diego, his attorney says. He fears that if he returns to Afghanistan, he would be tortured or even killed, @nbcsandiego.com reports.

Yassss Senator Tina Smith. Alllll dayyyyy.

We absolutely must not forget what this administration did to Senator Padilla, because it tells us what they are willing to do to us.

👀 Hot off the press: A scathing open letter co-authored by all 17 former ACIP members. It's a frank look at ACIP history and the hard truths America will grapple with in the upcoming months. Turns out the former ACIP members have more spine than CDC leadership 🙄 jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

Appeal to Bluesky gods to please please please pretty please with a cherry on top give us an edit button.

Kyiv underwent a massive Russian drone and missile terrorist attack, all targeting civilians throughout the night/morning. Several residential complexes were struck. Russia launches these attacks in the night to avoid air defences, maximize casualties, and to cause mass sleep deprivation torture.

Omg - you guys, Trump and Tucker Carlson are fighting??!! @meidastouch.com please share the reel!!

What do we do when a loser on LinkedIn posts a veiled threat toward a judge? Should I contact his employer?

Some research grants have been restored for the NIH, thanks to a scorching ruling by a (Reagan-appointed) judge today: apnews.com/article/nih-... #NIH

I’m reading more and more people saying that the army made the parade a silent protest with their choice of dress, music and “sloppy” marching. That means they too see what is happening, and that, as Gandalf would say, is an encouraging thought.

🚨Developing: What just happened to Peter Stinson , a decorated veteran and peaceful organizer - should alarm everyone who believes in democracy. This is a direct attack on dissent. @meidastouch.com @muellershewrote.com @marisakabas.bsky.social @douglaslucas.bsky.social @laurajedeed.bsky.social

Read this - important. They are jailing an opposition leader. They’re really nailing the fascism script. #mayday

The Minnesota shooter apparently used data broker websites to find the home addresses of the people he shot and murdered. Congress has had years to do something about data brokers and they've sided with the tech lobby over and over again. Their inaction is deadly.

Trigger warning - violence against a doggo. This is Gilbert - he was the family dog of Melissa Hortman. The coward and traitor Vance Boelter, murdered Gilbert along with his parents. @weratedogs has the info on donating to Helping Paws MN if you want to do something in their honor.

Christianity is a mental illness. MAGA is a mental illness. The only thing that (some) MAGA get right about this guy is that he's mentally unwell. But, they don't realize it's the pot calling the kettle black.

You’ll notice that the American state media are no longer concerned about age seeing as the orange felon is now nearly 80 years old and all they’ve been doing is normalizing his birthday dictator march. They have completely failed all of us as well as our democracy.

Notice how wealth class media will spend years normalizing authoritarians, giving them the benefit of the doubt, and if someone who is even considered remotely leftist and wants to help people gains momentum they'll change every rule, twist history, and attack them relentlessly.

I’m sure your media doesn’t cover things like this anymore. Kyiv is under a heavy drone attack. Fires have been reported in several districts of the city. We’re fine (as one can be under the current circumstances)

EXACTLY- the HYPOCRISY of these fuckheads!
