Advising someone of their legal rights is not, in fact, a crime. It never was and never will be.

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

Last full week before we brace for Trump 2.0. Rest up everyone, it's going to be long hard fight to protect democracy.

Mike Luckovich gets it right as he always does

Daily Reminder: Social Security is OUR money, an EARNED benefit!

Respect to @anntelnaes.bsky.social for quitting the Washington Post due to censorship over her on-point cartoon. More of this from artists and writers, please. Don't obey in advance, especially to the broligarchy.

Truer words never spoken. Sad that so many dont see it this way.

The biggest divide in America today is not between “right” and “left,” or between Republicans and Democrats. It’s between democracy and oligarchy. The old labels — “right” and “left” — prevent most people from noticing they’re being shafted. Know the truth.

This remains, and I say this advisedly, one of the best exchanges I have ever seen on social media

MEME OF THE DAY…if you LIKE IT give it 💙and plz RP😘😘

🚨Speaker Johnson, it's time to step up and show some backbone. A shutdown is a threat to our national security, Veterans, and Armed Forces who are bravely serving and counting on you. DO. YOUR. JOB.

ABSOFUCKINGLUTELY 💯

Folks, do me a HUGE favor: Please re-post this and follow @reallyamerican.bsky.social so that we're at full strength as we enter the next critical phase in mounting our opposition to trump's cruel, oppressive agenda. Please and thank you! 🙏💪

I used to post about acts of kindness all the time on X before it went to hell. Today I delivered 2 dozen homemade cookies 🍪to my neighbors. They have 2 small children and struggle to make ends meet. Her face lit up. Pay it forward. The feeling it leaves you is priceless. 😊

Meanwhile..

Just because we lost an election doesn’t mean we were wrong. We’re still in this fight together.

I’m starting to think that the longer we shield Trump voters from the worst economic outcomes, the worse things actually will get. Sometimes people just have to find out the hard way, sad as that is. Yes, we will suffer. But at least they will learn that elections do have consequences.

PCE inflation has fallen to 2.1%—nearly at its 2% target—and incomes are up nearly $4,000. The economy has grown 12.6% under President Biden—more than any presidential term this century. 16 million jobs created and the lowest unemployment in 50 years. 🚨 Do not let Trump take any credit for this.

Things may appear to be bleak but remember that diamonds are formed under incredible pressure. 💎 Now is not the time to quit.

The NYT printed this in its op-ed section this AM: "A central pillar of American democracy is that no man is above the law. But Mr. Trump isn’t an ordinary man." Wrong. America doesn't have a king or a divine ruler. We elect an ORDINARY MAN as president.

Now is not the time for acceptance and resignation. This is - yet again - a time for commitment and action. Do not say you’re weary - before the battle has been joined. Simply unacceptable.

It’s just not true that the “majority” of Americans voted for Trump. 93 million eligible Americans did not vote at all. That number dwarfs the 76.5 million vote total Trump currently holds.

Don’t buy into the illusion that Trump has a mandate to trample the rule of law or ignore the Constitution. He does not. Under 1/3 of eligible voters picked Trump. That is no mandate but a narrow victory.

Now that they destroyed their own neighborhood, the Maga/Elon trolls are rolling in to BlueSky. My recommendation is to block early, on the first offense, without explanation. Here are my rules why I block them: open.substack.com/pub/therickw...

Make the call. It's important and takes about 30 seconds. You can do it today. Leave a message. indivisible.org/resource/tel...

NEW: VoteVets Responds To News of Likely Trump Purge of Generals "Unless somehow stopped or talked out of this plan, it will be remembered as the first step in remaking the military from an apolitical force loyal to the Constitution into a MAGA Military, pledging fealty to Donald Trump."

Fellow New Blue Sky Peeps: I know we’re all excited to get going and start following everyone, but you still need to VET! There are still bots and maga trolls here just like there were on Twitter. Keep your acct and others safe by checking who you’re following please. 💙💙💙

California voters who mailed in their ballots have until Dec 1 to "cure" their ballots if their signature doesn't match file signature, but they must show an ID in person to get their votes counted. VOLUNTEER to help CA voters cure their ballots, no matter where you live! linktr.ee/teampelosi

Keep this in mind for the road ahead:

Hey all. Even if you can’t help yourself, can you amplify this call to action? **CALIFORNIA STILL NEEDS BALLOTS CURED** The more we can tighten the margin in the House, the better. Nancy Pelosi has links to help here. Please pass it on!
