🚨 🚨 🚨 HOMEWORK 🚨 🚨 🚨 The email address for federal workers to inform on their colleagues is [email protected]. Would be a real shame if folks flooded that inbox, rendering it useless.

I have and will continue to. But you know why I say it here ? Because @bsky.app is 30m strong and growing quickly. The collective wisdom and influence of users here is far greater than any individual democrat. I can't say it enough. Bluesky can be the influence that can counter RW media.

SHARE WIDELY. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights. You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one. (1/3)

‘Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.’ — Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. On #MLKDay, we honor his legacy by choosing love over hate, justice over injustice, and hope over fear.

RESIST. Don't quit. Don't stop fighting. Don't obey in advance. Don't stop calling them out. Keep raising your voices as loudly as you can. Keep organizing your friends, family, everyone. Keep supporting orgs that are leading the fight. RESIST.

Each time I have sat down to write something since the election, I am bothered by this recurring phrase that I simply cannot get out of my head. So,I am going to just say it out loud: we are on our own. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/we-a...

So it's dangerous for China to have the ability to access our data and manipulate us via social media apps. But it's okay for America's billionaires to have the ability to access our data and manipulate us via social media apps. Do I have this right?

Don't be fooled: The Laken Riley Act is "Show Me Your Papers" 2.0, supercharged & nationwide. It's a blueprint for turning America into a police state where anyone can be detained on suspicion alone. This isn't just unconstitutional—it's un-American.

Every question from the senators should have been job specific like this. This demonstrates lack of preparedness. This could have convinced 3 republicans he isn’t the right one for the job
