I hope Western PA and nearby West Virginia MAGA folks understand that their vote is responsible for the unjust burden that our neighbors of the region will now face. @fetterman.senate.gov @davemccormick.bsky.social

Trump just straight-out claiming that trans people don't legitimately exist. Says he wants a bill "criminalizing sex changes on children and forever ending the lie that any child is trapped in their own body. This is a big lie."

#JustinTrudeau today asked if the American people are OK with the @donaldjtrump-maga.bsky.social’s tariffs and their economic/geopolitical ramifications. I am vehemently opposed, bracing myself for the damage that this trade war is already causing. And, I let my electeds know. @fetterman.senate.gov

PA Residents: Please call your state rep. and oppose Robert Leadbeter’s plans to introduce a bill that makes it a third degree felony to allow a minor to attend anything with a drag queen. He is trying to erase queer people by hindering pride festivals, library drag story-hours, and more.

To America’s 2.3 million federal employees: Don’t accept a buyout. Neither Musk nor even Trump has the legal authority to make such an offer. And even if they did, would you trust them to follow through on it? Sincerely, Robert Reich Former U.S.Secretary of Labor

Trying to call @fetterman.senate.gov ‘s office, but I keep getting immediately disconnected. If there is a chance tagging his office in this post will help me reach a human, or at least an answering machine, thought I’d try.

Can this get more attention, please? Sure, The Independent is decidedly left, but I would hope being anti-Nazi is a universal thing…

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

#DEI does not cause plane crashes. Accusing #DEI of causing plane crashes causes the spread of fear and hate against people who are already going through enough.

My 1st Bsky post: Gratitude for @steveinskeep.bsky.social!! This morning’s expertly-handled interview with @ronjohnson.bsky.social…Although Johnson’s partisanship and science denial were disheartening, I am thankful Steve and many others at @npr.org will help me get through the next 4 years. 👏
