Trump is imposing a 10% tariff on the Heard and McDonald Islands. The Heard and McDonald Islands are uninhabited.

The first Democratic senator to call for Schumer to step aside is going to have statues built in their honor

Michigan, Minnesota, and New Hampshire will all elect new senators next year due to retirements. If you live in one of those states and plan to vote in the Democratic primaries, you'll have the chance to elect someone who opposes what Schumer did today. Ask candidates where they stand!

Its not that Republicans in Congress are doing nothing. They are actively blocking proposals to undo the damage Musk is creating.

I say again: any Republican in congress with an ounce of integrity would switch parties immediately. They are complicit, sadistic cowards. Every single one.

Repost & like, if you stand with President Zelensky!

The worst thing to happen to the Democratic Party is the consultant class

Wish I could travel back two decades in time to tell myself that the guy who was then head of the Republican National Committee is now doing more to fight back against a Republican president than most Democrats.

Truth. Democrats and Republican politicians deserve blame for what they do wrong, but we can't infantilize voters out of responsibility for making choices that harm so many of their neighbors.

An important announcement from the Governor of Illinois.

The richest man in the world is sitting at the Resolute desk, about to defund your public school. Trump should stop him.

If Democrats in Congress keep going the way they’re going, the anti-incumbency wave of 2024 will hit their shores in the form of 2026 primaries.

If you’re a Democrat and you’re still aiming your fucking fire at Joe Biden kindly fuck all the way off. The Day One Dictator said he is building a detention camp for 30,000 people. Focus on that shit or fuck off.

Remember when Obama named Bill Clinton his Secretary of Explaining Shit? I would like to give that role to AOC.

I see people concern trolling that it would be inappropriate to laugh at people who are getting fucked because they voted for Trump, and you can try to appeal to someone else's better angels. Angels don't exist.

We need more of this! If you agree with me, amplify it when a politiican speaks this way. Repost. We have some senators on Bluesky - follow and amplify them! Don't just complain!

American leftism consists of spending two years before every presidential election talking yourself into making a bad choice followed by two post-election years blaming your bad choice on everyone else.

I am excited to endorse Jocelyn Benson for Governor of Michigan. We share a passion for marathon running. Just as she has conquered the miles, I am confident she will tackle the challenges facing Michigan with the same determination and spirit she exhibits as Michigan's Secretary of State.

For those saying it wasn't a Nazi salute. Keep posting it. Keep sharing it.

I cannot tell you how tired I am of this bullshit. Republicans nominated and voted for Trump in 2016, 2020, and 2024. Republican politicians endorsed him and refused to impeach him twice. Nearly every Democrat fought him every step of the way to protect democracy. Stop gaslighting us!

Posting this story about how Ann Telnaes got censored not least bc it'll disseminate the image Jeff Bezos censored. anntelnaes.substack.com/p/why-im-qui...

The fruitless search for nonexistent common ground instantaneously normalizes Trump. Dems should not propound the dubious assertion that Trump operates in good faith. Mouthing this platitude makes Ds look weak, foolish and unprepared to stand up to fascism www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

there is no common ground! www.youtube.com/watch?v=EeSn...

We're in a period where moral appeals don't seem to be landing so I want to put this in purely strategic terms: This is a disastrous plan. Our path to win in '26 depends on presenting a clear contrast to Trump's corruption and chaos, not acting like the junior partner in the fascist coalition.

Happy Holidays! 🤣🤣🤣

"Your anesthesia time has expired. Please insert $2,500 for the next 30 minutes." Anthem BCBS won't pay for complete duration of anesthesia for some patients' surgical procedures: acasignups.net/24/12/04/you...

I see little political downside in repeating, over and over again, that Trump's picks are abusers, rapists and deeply weird. We should have never stopped, and it's worth starting again.

a reminder that you’re under no obligation to spend time with people who make you feel like shit. sharing DNA doesn't give them any special rights to mistreat you.

okay, we're starting with this Step 1. call your own rep if you haven't already! Step 2. sign this (cis women only please! cis guys, you can help by boosting) Step 3. much depends on the success and reach of step 2; lots of options if this blows up actionnetwork.org/petitions/no...

Hi everyone! Fake Kentucky Democratic Party accounts are active on Bluesky. Our only official account is @kydemocrats.org (formerly @kydems), now verified through kydemocrats.org, our official website. Please report impersonators. Thank you.

this is well put

The general silence of most elected Democrats right now is unacceptable. We need to hear them expressing their opposition to the danger loud and clear. It strengthens us. Elizabeth Warren is a notable exception.

Please skip the inauguration (and everything else) Madame @VP. And everyone else... www.thenation.com/article/poli...

Truest thing I've seen in weeks

great khan of the plains needs to tell the liberaltarian weirdo of the west to run his tweets by the khanate before posting

You would think Trump was already president by the lack of leadership coming from the WH. The current president has more than two months left in office. He should be rallying political leaders — and all Americans — by announcing steps that will make it easier for us to resist fascism next year.

My wife just shared this with me: The forest was shrinking but the trees kept voting for the axe, for the axe was clever and convinced the trees that because his handle was made of wood he was one of them.” ― Turkish Proverbs

Folks: we hate doing these posts, but now is the time to rebuild our pro-democracy community right here on BlueSky. No more leaving our future in the hands of Elon Musk. If you are able, please follow, repost this, and let your followers know we are here. Let's do this!

This is some more incredible work by @propublica.org focusing on the dire consequences of a Trump win. This is the information voters are craving, not the latest poll results. Be sure to read & share. This stuff is important. It's also really good journalism. www.propublica.org/article/dona...

This thing - don't cancel your plans to door knock, don't cancel your plans to phone bank, don't cancel your plans to do every last thing you can do - just do it with that extra pep in your step!
