We need these stories.

They haven’t even started the major layoffs yet.

Today I’m angry. Enough of this criminal bullshit. I want that level of anger from our leaders.

Amy Coney Barrett knows…

📌"Because Zelenskyy has tasted gun powder and breathed the odious smell of death on the battlefield, he wasn't about to be pushed around by some morbidly obese, 78-yr-old yacht club bully and his toady, who think swinging a sand wedge to free a golf ball from some bunker is dangerous business." 1/3

Only 8% of the troops who were kicked out of the military for refusing the COVID-19 vaccine are interested in coming back. LOL apnews.com/article/pent...

No taxation without representation, right?

“The fact that Alfred is expected to maintain Category 2 intensity when it crosses the coast suggests that oceans are warm enough to sustain tropical cyclones much further south than usual.”

Gavin Newsom knows that the trans youth in sports issue is a ridiculous, rightwing propaganda effort. He knows this is powered by anti-trans hatred, not reason. And yet, he still chose to endorse attacks on trans youth to bolster his national profile for a 2028 presidential run. (1/3)

Catch us in Austin, TX for @sxsw.com! On Monday, March 10, tune in for @jay.bsky.team's keynote with @mmasnick.bsky.social on the future of social and how we can take back control of our experience online.

No shortage of selective outrage

“There are times when it is better to stand alone than not stand at all. This President is disrupting the healthcare system. He is all but defying court orders. At some point, we’re all going to have to stand up.” - Rep. @algreen.house.gov, after being removed from the House chamber, 3/4/25

Oh. US employers cut more jobs last month than in any February since 2009. Bravo, MAGA. 🤦‍♀️

Pure evil

The Kremlin has said Emmanuel Macron's speech last night was "extremely confrontational" and claimed that France wants the war to continue. Russia started the war and is telling us we don’t want it to stop. Just get the fuck out of Ukraine and the war is over.

On 6 June 1944, while Americans were fighting at Omaha Beach, Canadians were fighting at Juno Beach. Our brothers, who fought and died by our side – who helped us defeat Fascism, are not our enemy. They are our true friends. Canadians are our brothers and sisters and I stand with them 100%.

NEW VIDEO: President Trump is threatening to dissolve the leadership of the United States Postal Service and absorb the independent agency into his administration. Paige and I explain why this would be a major threat to mail-in voting. www.youtube.com/watch?v=b7Xn...

Dont take ELONS bait about CHAUVIN. They cant pardon him for state crimes. ANd if some magical way they could they want us to RIOT. So they can impose martial law. DONT TAKE THE BAIT. Not happening, they are just trying to test us.

I so agree on Ronny! Democrats are too well behaved and I hate that shit because we are also here because of that attitude!

NEW: Idaho lawmakers are moving forward with modest efforts to improve the state’s system for investigating deaths. Meanwhile, counties are working to shield from public view coroner records that were key to a 2024 ProPublica investigation. By @audreydutton.bsky.social

For two months I have been posting that we need a leader to stand up and step forward. Last night, Al Green did just that.

#GVerse #BreakingNews In a stunning moment, Rep. Jasmine Crockett @repjasmine.bsky.social asks the Mayors whether there are any immigrants roaming around their cities with 34 felony convictions (all answered no), "because that could be a danger to the community." She is a national treasure.

“My GOP colleagues must look at what is right in front of them – from nominees who won’t follow court orders to the firing of dedicated FBI agents. They need to act, not continue to acquiesce to the President.” Thank you @amyklobuchar.com for this strong #CupOfJoe! More of this please!

New Front Cover, "The Economist"

I am Canadian and I WILL NEVER AGAIN BUY AN ORANGE FROM FLORIDA OR A DROP OF FLORIDA ORANGE JUICE! FYI, Oasis orange juice is a Canadian brand that sources oranges from Brazil. BUY OASIS! 🍁

Horrifying to see South Carolina preparing for its first execution by firing squad. The inmate, Brad Sigmon, will have a hood placed over his head and a target pinned over his heart before a three-person squad fire their rifles. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

The real State of the Union… not good! 📌 US employers cut more jobs last month than any February since 2009— the Great Recession.

Perfect title — the famous quote from The Great Gatsby which i also used as the opener of my memoir Burn Book. We need more insiders there and elsewhere to come forward and explain what happened since these careless people have never been more powerful. apnews.com/article/meta...

Cutting the Department of Education to save money is like cutting your fingernails to lose weight.

This is directly from project 2025

I feel exactly the same way @chrismurphyct.bsky.social We've gotta fight for our democracy, we don't have 6 months!

🔥 Rep. Al Green is not new to standing up

How can one person change this much in such a short period of time?

One thing I'm fucken sick of hearing is that people on the poverty line "don't want handouts." Well, the rich take hand outs. Maybe they're rich bc they were offered handouts. Maybe they're rich bc they take them. This "shame in receiving free money" for the poor but not the rich makes me SO MAD

💉🧵The trend to ban mRNA vaccines is extremely concerning. Montana recently voted down a ban and Idaho is introducing a bill to criminalize their use. mRNA vaccines have been studied since 1990 and are a critical scientific advancement. An mRNA vaccine against pancreatic cancer is in clinical trials

Eliminating the department of education to save money is like shooting yourself in the face so you don’t have to shave.

four votes for “the president is a king and the framers created a monarchy”

As of now the ONLY dems that get to keep their offices are AOC Jasmine The Queen Crockett Al Green

Not one...😉😅

Rep. Al Green of Texas is 77 years old, and last night, he showed everyone how to lead and how to fight. You don’t have to be young to be an effective leader.

If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations. If you're 45, that number is 74.7%. If you're under 30, the number is 100%.

Evil. And another case of Trump de-documenting *legal* immigrants. www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...
