I went to 2 protests today and yet again 98% of the people there were over the age of 55. The younger generation needs to understand we will not be alive to fight for them forever. Ignoring the problem, hoping it will all just go away is not how change happens. I hope they wake up soon.

Not sure who needs to hear this, but any govt official who violates someone's constitutional rights -- and is acting outside the scope of their lawful authority -- can be PERSONALLY liable in a civil suit. ICE officers. Cabinet members. White House staffers. Even the president.

What do these corporations have in common? Netflix Ford Tesla T-Mobile Duke Energy DISH Network Metlife Dominion Energy United States Steel In recent years, they all paid their execs more than they paid in taxes. This is what a corporate-rigged system looks like.

"the president defied a Supreme Court ruling to return a man mistakenly sent to a gulag... and spoke of sending Americans to foreign concentration camps. This is the beginning of an American policy of state terror, and it has to be identified as such to be stopped" snyder.substack.com/p/state-terror

When I say you don’t have to worry about microplastics in your brain I mean that there is much stronger evidence that you should be worrying about other things that you don’t ever think about, like the draining of peatlands for agriculture, and things that you think about all the time, like fascism.

“He’s not a monster. He just plays one in the White House.” Whether it’s Bill Maher’s obsequious attempt to normalize Trump, or Tucker Carlson’s fawning over Putin, weak men have been capitulating to power since the beginning of time.

L - The official photo from the Kremlin of US Special Envoy @SteveWitkoff putting his hand over his heart as he greets his friend Vladimir Putin again this week. R - Putin’s latest missile attack killing at least 21 people, including 7 children, on Palm Sunday. Putin’s stooge.

BREAKING: Speaker Hakeem Jeffries just threw DOWN the gauntlet—challenging Trump’s little Johnson to a one-on-one debate TOMORROW on the GOP’s extremist budget. Let’s see if MAGA’s puppet has the guts to defend cuts to seniors, vets, & working families. We. The. People. Are. Watching.

What makes this visual even more stunning is that it was made possible by people who said their #1 concern when voting was the economy. What idiots.

If you don’t think that at some point he’s going to show more interest in the 5,044 nuclear weapons he controls, you’re as deluded as the people who thought he’d never tank the stock market and the economy.

Booker: Strom Thurmond’s record always kind of just really irked me. That the longest speech on our great Senate floor was from someone who was trying to stop people like me from being in the Senate. So to surpass that became more important to me.

Direct evidence of criminal election bribery under Wis. Stat. §12.11: “‘My name’s Ekaterina Deistler,’ she said in a video posted Monday morning. ‘I did exactly what Elon Musk told everyone to do: sign the petition, refer friends and family, vote, and now I have a million dollars.’”

If other Senators come to support Cory Booker and extend this effort indefinitely Democrats can put a stop to Trump and Musk-at least temporarily And that could save thousands of lives THIS is the kind of fight we want from Democrats @schumer.senate.gov If you can't do it Get out of the way

Here, @jilldlawrence.bsky.social has exactly the right word: Stalinesque. So much of what comes out in these WH edicts sounds like it was written in the Soviet Union in the 1970s.

This sums MAGA perfectly. Fuck your feelings, but I demand that you respect mine, oh… and if you don’t, you’re a terrorist and we will deport you or use “freedom seeds” to deal with you.

It would disenfranchise millions. It seeks to restrict what ballots states can count. It purports to give DOGE unspecified powers to review state run voter rolls. No wonder vote suppressors and election deniers from coast to coast lavished it with praise. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/trum...

Corrupt judges let a criminal get away with treason and run for president. Propagandists masquerading as journalists lied to enough people that the criminal won. Then the criminal sold a half share in the presidency to the world's richest man, whom no one voted for. That's what happened, folks.

Government abductions are unconstitutional. Denying anyone the right to due process in America is unconstitutional. If you’ve rationalized your silence or support for any of it because it’s happening to those you disagree with, give it a minute… They’ll get to you soon enough.
