Ferndale, Michigan represented today at the #Ha dsOff protest. Thanks, @rjnietubyc.bsky.social

The Oval Office meeting today between Trump and Zelensky “reeked of a planned attack,” @radiofreetom.bsky.social writes. “The Ukrainian leader did his best to stand up to the bullying, but Trump and Vance were playing to the cameras and the MAGA gallery at home.” theatln.tc/5tozgdyn

What can you do? Don’t give up hope. Dictators feed off your hopelessness. Don’t quit. Dictators want you to give up. Punch back. Dictators are bullies, and bullies are cowards. Stay tethered to the truth. Dictators need you to believe their lies. Resist. Stand with others.

Spread the word. We can do this. #resist

This vote alone is a dangerous endorsement of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s health misinformation and lies. How many lives are Republicans willing to risk for this nominee? The Senate must not confirm RFK Jr. www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

Instead of lowering the price of eggs they want to buy Greenland and ban love.

Sometimes the world is heavy, but we don't have to bear it alone. Thankful for this community as we head into the unknown. ❤️ #DemValues #VoteBlue #SaveDemocracy #Kindness #KindnessMatters #BetterTogether #Resist

I'm tired of Donald Trump and he hasn't even taken office yet.

I'm liking @bsky.app so far, but the scammers are starting to like it, too. Lot of supposed lottery winners trying to give their money away. And folks "looking for a good time". The Block button works wonders. đźš«

can’t stop thinking about this Mary Oliver poem 🥹

Nope! No buyers remorse. You've got what you paid for.

“An oligarchy now has democracy in its grip. Their weaponization of racism and sexism has served them well, dividing the working-classes and pitting neighbors against one another — as they plunder more wealth.” www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

This…this is it. In a nutshell, yes.

This incredible woman has more courage than any Republican member of Congress. Representative-Elect Sarah McBride responds to the pathetic transgender bathroom ban just announced by the coward Mike Johnson.

Put it out there! Gaetz has been hiding behind his daddy's money & cowardly Repugs for too long.

Without the tide, the blue waves turn into puddles, captive in the rocks. But they reflect the light. And with the movement of the earth and the moon, the blue waves will soon overwhelm the rocks again.

Anybody else not sleeping well since the 5th or is it just me?
