Nice roll! Reproductive rights are human rights. I've got a special message for you from ovaryroll.com: We Won't Crack

I’m tired of @msnbc.com anchors perpetuating the message that Dems aren’t doing the work or that it’s not possible to find what they’re doing. I think I need to be interviewed but the only way that’s gonna happen is if they are aware of me. If you think I should be on their shows let them know!

@piperformissouri.bsky.social Keep up the great work. #altgov is doing their part!!

Frances Perkins, the woman behind the New Deal and our North Star, was born on this date 145 years ago. “There is always a large horizon…. There is much to be done …. I am not going to be doing it! It is up to you to contribute some small part to a program of human betterment for all time.”

These are the Democrats who voted for the SAVE act which will disenfranchise tens of millions of people, including married women who changed their maiden name: Jared Golden (Maine), Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (Wash.), Henry Cuellar (Texas) Ed Case (Hawaii).

Dear @schiff.senate.gov, I’m a constituent. Please vote NO on the SAVE Act. This bill will disenfranchise 70M women & 20M people with no passport or birth certificate. We are fighting for our very lives now – our jobs, our healthcare, our freedoms. Don't make us fight for our votes.

In case you're wondering... it's been 17 days since a reporter was added to a Signal group chat where our government officials were sharing war plans. And nobody has been fired... Don't stop talking about SignalGate

So Trump and gang knew the stock market would tank so what shorts did they have?

Saw this quote in my feed and though it disappeared it bears consideration. “The advancement and diffusion of knowledge is the only guardian of true liberty" -James Madison

Maybe this will be the post that helps us find our people. We are Pixel & Sophie on other sites (for now) but we are Club Meatbird here! And we hope you all find us. We're missing over a million of you from Meta's platforms that we'd love to see here. 🥹 #cat #cats #catsofbluesky #smile

It can't be all doom and gloom There is still some good in this world And it's worth fighting for.

Authoritarians govern through fear, not legislation. The simple fear of what they would do in certain situations can push even the opposition to capitulate. That’s success for them. We lose when we fold due to a hypothetical. We win when we challenge the REALITY that is hurting working people.

🔥 Rep. Al Green is not new to standing up

A few people have shared this here today, so I thought I’d post it.

Aside from the obvious direct harm, what's so irritating is that a handful of spoiled ignorant assholes are breaking things that we all built together. They weren't content to own almost everything, they had to wreck what little they didn't own. It's vandalism on a mass scale and has to be punished

“The SAVE Act, which purports to fend off the phantasmal threat of voter fraud, would throw millions of women off the voting rolls.” newrepublic.com/article/1914...

While he chokes off cancer research and fires VA researchers, the President is using your taxpayer dollars to buy crypto and enrich his personal allies. This is the most corrupt administration in history and it's not even close.

Times are tough and they will be for a while. But during this time, look for the helpers. We’re here.

I'm not often at a loss for words. 😞 💙💛 #ukraine #zelenskyy #standwithukraine

California is partnering with 21 Brazilian state governors on solutions to protect the environment and cut harmful pollution. We're establishing a formal communication channel to share successful approaches to clean transportation, climate adaptation, forest management & more.

Democrats are showing up. Literally. Rep. Pettersen (CO-7) cut short her maternity leave and flew across the country — with her newborn baby — to vote no. Rep. Mullin (CA-15) went straight from the hospital where he was being treated for surgery complications to the airport so he could vote no.

Congressional Republicans tried to pull a fast one. They called off the budget vote that cuts healthcare for over 38 million children and just put it back up after everyone left to try and make some Democrats miss the vote. Many Dems are voting by card to keep the vote open. I just did mine.

Just a reminder that what he's talking about is the private information about every American and business, and there are laws against this access. "Transform the way the government works" by doing what? Targeting opponents? Microtargeting political ads so Republicans never lose?

In light of everything happening, I wrote about how the KKK in the 1920s felt unstoppable, about the people that fought against them anyway, and about how fascism always fails. dansinker.com/posts/202…

The divide in politics today is between unreality and reality. Those who seek to rule the world blur human experience and smudge memory, making cooperation and friendship laughable and unthinkable. Ukraine resists an unreality war. snyder.substack.com/p/the-realit...

Former Capitol police officer Michael Fanone when confronting Proud Boys insurrectionist Enrique Tarrio: “You are a traitor to this country.” RETWEET if you stand with Officer Fanone!

Maybe corny but it was helpful for me to hear Henry Rollins saying "this is not time to be dismayed, this is punk rock time, this is what Joe Strummer trained you for... You can be thunderous in your own life, to the eight people around you. That rubs off... Goodness is viral"

Something is shifting. They are still breaking things and stealing things. And they will keep trying to break and to steal. But the propaganda magic around the oligarchical coup is fading. (1/2)
