Fuck off, Vlad. 🖕

Dear Leaders of the Free World, Fight him at every turn. Make his life miserable. Expose his ignorance and sociopathy. Oppose and condemn and marginalize him. The decent people of this nation are not with him. We stand with you. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/dear-world...

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.

Most of our problems could be solved by properly funding public education.

Starting a phony transgender bathroom debate and hiding behind the guise of “protecting women” to distract from your attempts to push through the confirmations of alleged rapists, sex traffickers, and fraudsters at the highest levels of government is peak Republican Party.

There were a hundred different instances of “This should have been the end of his influence.” But none so apparent as this day.

My parents encouraged my love of reading and did not police the books I chose. I am a more empathetic, open minded person because of this and for that, I will be forever grateful.

“Have fun in your little safe space echo chamber” like dude calm down I’m just going to hang out with my friends

Truth.

We’re not really taking care of anyone, but hey, at least the wealthy aren’t going without.

Testify!

He’ll forever be guilty.

I share exactly the same fears for my medically fragile son with special needs. It's terrifying.

This…this is it. In a nutshell, yes.

At this point, democrats have to concentrate on stopping the ones that will do the most damage. Forget the distraction nominees. Focus on the serious threats. Gaetz, Gabbard and Hegseth remain the most problematic.

Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance. Each year, the trans community loses too many lives, especially trans women of color, to hate and violence. More than ever, we must stand by our trans family and support them, hold space for them, and insist the scapegoating and targeting stop. Now.

Ah, yes, the legendary Badlands Tweets!

We left X and joined Bluesky because those against our parks said, “If you don’t like it, leave.” So we did. And now they’re saying, “No, come back so we can say mean things to you—it makes us feel important.”

#Trump’s administration: dysfunction as a design feature.

Great advice

Starting a thread of blocklists to share (feel free to reply with your favorites)

This block list might be interesting to you. bsky.app/profile/did:...

The French Revolution was not kind to The Aristocats…

Here is a second one, there is likely some overlap between both of them as they were compiled by different people around the same time. go.bsky.app/43GtVTV

Yes, please! go.bsky.app/i7ybux

Trump’s popular-vote lead keeps narrowing, as Cook Political Report shows in its update from this morning. Not a single journalist worldwide could credibly call this a mandate.

Just so we’re clear - Any party telling you who you can love, what gender you are, which medicine you can take, which books you can read, which history you can learn, what prayers you should pray and what you can and cannot do with your own body, doesn’t give a fuck about freedom.

Normalizing Trump is a bad idea. Period.

Hannibal Lecter would've been a better nomination for HHS than RFK Jr.

I will never be okay with the fact that he got away with this.

I have to admit, the block/hide feature here is very satisfying.

The smarter MAGAs are showing up trying to disrupt organizing and conversation by wanting "rational debate" or "to be heard out" yeah, you don't owe them any of that.

This can’t be said enough!!!

My starter pack for disability academics, researchers and authors here. Academics are my rockstars. Fact 😊https://go.bsky.app/UTFSRDt

When world leaders ask Ukraine to negotiate they are explicitly telling them to surrender. Any notion that Putin can be negotiated with is born from malice and stupidity. The only negotiation Putin has left is his boarding pass on the river Acheron.

The unwanted DMs continue. Let me be clear: unsolicited DMs to anyone from any gender are unacceptable. But women have faced sexual harassment for centuries: unwanted touching, denigration, sexual comments, & worse. Male Offenders: learn self control & GTFO if you can’t.

Do. Not. Obey. In. Advance.

Stop calling it a grift and use the real terminology, it’s corruption, embezzlement, money laundering, racketeering, take your pick.

For as long as I live, I will never understand how anyone could have chosen Trump over this.

They are offsetting the cost of lower taxes for billionaires by slashing programs for the most needy. So much for Christian charity toward the poor.

And please help us defend access to disability Medicaid Waivers that keep us alive.

Here’s the difference: with my so-called “radical leftist agenda,” I’d say 95% of the policies I want for this country would have no direct effect on me. However, I’m intelligent enough to understand how the secondary, tertiary, and broader impacts of those policies benefit everyone, including me.

#FAFO season is upon us 💙

Back in my day, we didn’t call them ‘echo chambers’. We called them ‘not hanging out with assholes.’
