I've seen better spelling in phishing emails.

US MAGA Republicans are quoting Hitler's chief propagandist for the Nazi Party, and Reich Minister of Propaganda Joseph Goebbels. #3E

Dear American citizens, whatever you wish more German citizens would have done in 1933, do that now.

I showed my wife, a historian, the Kristi Noem video. She said “holy shit!” It’s a lot. A brief thread on bodies. It begins in the alt text below… 1/

Good question. Why DOES Pete Hegseth have a Russian phone number? 🤨

ABC News: "An unthinkable breach of national security." CBS News: "An unthinkable breach of national security." MSNBC: "An unthinkable breach of national security." CNN: "An unthinkable breach of national security." Fox News: "We've all texted the wrong person before."

NEW: @motherjones.com reports that one of the men renditioned to El Salvador is Neri Alvarado, who was working in Dallas as a baker. An ICE agent told him they were questioning all men with tattoos. Neri has an AUTISM AWARENESS TATTOO in honor of his 15-year-old brother with autism.

The Trump administration wants to shut down all of Social Security over a ruling blocking 11 DOGE workers from sticking their fingers in your private data. 11 DOGE workers. 73 million Americans. This is illegal. If it happens, will force millions of seniors into poverty.

Under the House GOP’s budget plan, the lowest-income taxpayers would see a LOSS of $1,125. The richest 0.1 percent of taxpayers, on the other hand, would see a more than $180,000 GAIN. This is trickle down economics on steroids.

BREAKING: 34,000 people have showed up in Denver, Colorado this evening to see Bernie Sanders and AOC fight oligarchy and authoritarianism.

The United States of America is the only major country on earth that does not guarantee health care as a human right. The result: We rank dead last among wealthy nations in life expectancy. We must end that international embarrassment. Yes. We need Medicare for All.

Overflow crowd for Bernie/AOC rally in Greeley, CO — the small one today, big one is in Denver later

We expected 2,000 people out in GOP-held Greeley, Colorado. 11,000 people showed up. Something special is happening, folks. Now is the time to organize in every dimension possible and get to work.

BREAKING: This is the crowd to see AOC in Greeley, Colorado where GOP Congressman Gabe Evans refuses to hold a town hall.

People with chronic illnesses like diabetes or MS need healthcare services that often exceed annual limits. Without ACA protections, they’ll be left without treatment. The ACA Saves Lives, but Republicans want to end these protections. Do you have friends/family with diabetes, cancer, or MS? I do!

Grass roots grow national forests.

Donald Trump’s billionaire Commerce Secretary has financial advice for Americans: 1. Please buy Tesla stock to help poor Elon Musk. 2. Shut up and don’t complain when you don’t get your Social Security check.

AOC: What they like to call as radical, I believe is common sense. I believe that when a person gets sick, they shouldn’t go bankrupt in the wealthiest country in the history of the world. Common sense I believe that a minimum wage should cover the minimum cost to live. Common sense...

The annual State Department human rights report “will remove all sections covering the rights of women, LGBTQ+ people, and the disabled as well as sections dedicated to discrimination against indigenous people and corruption in government.” www.lgbtqnation.com/2025/03/marc...

If Democrats had their shit together, they would have national leaders deployed to rural school districts across America, paired with local party officials, to discuss the impacts of this order directly with parents starting on Monday

We 💙 links! Starting this week, we've made it even easier for newsrooms and more to track how much traffic Bluesky is sending to their sites. For those setting up analytics, Bluesky's referrer is go.bsky.app.

Russian President Vladimir Putin's key peace demand that Western allies stop providing military aid and intelligence to Ukraine is quietly being ignored by the European Union.

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: I am here today to urge Canadians to avoid travel to the United States if at all possible and to call on our government to stand up for our citizens who are being denied their rights through arbitrary detention in the United States.

Yes. This article is from 8 years ago, but the photos might brighten your day. Enjoy! #dogs #positivity #Monday en.protothema.gr/2016/03/21/d...

That is both messed up and disgraceful! You can’t just delete history! Arlington National Cemetery has removed information about prominent Black, Hispanic, and female service members, as well as topics such as the Civil War, from its website.

The F*CK?

A Canadian woman was kidnapped at the US border by CBP and ICE agents. She committed no crime or illegal crossing but was forcibly kidnapped and thrown into an ice concentration camp.

OUTRAGEOUS: A Canadian woman was put in chains for 24 hours and detained by ICE in an “inhumane” facility after trying to get her new visa.

Here’s a cheat sheet with all the phone numbers for the US Senate. I have a feeling we’ll be calling them a lot in the near future.

Dems VOTE NO!

SCOOP: Elon Musk has installed 10 of his DOGE operatives at the Social Security Administration. We got their names w/ @makenakelly.bsky.social www.wired.com/story/doge-o...

WATCH: "A shutdown will be terrible, but our job is to put the onus on the Republican President, the Republican House, the Republican Senate, the people who control the government. They are responsible. They've acted in an undemocratic, unprecedented, unilateral way," says Sen. Bernie Sanders.

"Opposing Fascism Is a Jewish Tradition"--JWP at Trump Tower today.

Disingenuous shit

I love that BlueSky is a place where I can speak my mind. But with the turmoil in the world, its become a place where - almost exclusively - I loose my very real, but almost exclusively negative feelings. Time to bring in positivity and remind myself of where I want to be. #positivity #hope
