The majesty of the Magnolia tree. This Athene Magnolia has a glorious sweet scent and the huge flowers are like ripe fruit. Spring has sprung. 🌺 #nature #flower #spring #walk #tree #calm #peace #life #photography

Yep

This is fantastic we can really make a difference with this tool thank you!

This is what Democracy looks like!! Good Americans standing united against a fascist regime take over! Victoria Spartz staff, btw wasn't allowing people, with tickets in, if they weren't republican. I hope Republicans stood up for once. Doubtful. Still here. Brb #SheShed #Momsky #Voices4Victory

If you attend any #TeslaTakedown protest today, please be aware of the possibility of far right counter-protesters, infiltrators, and instigators. If you see any far right actors, especially those wearing extremist colors or insignia such as the Proud Boys, please reply or DM with photos or videos.

When people say 'politics is too divisive now,' what they really mean is 'I was more comfortable when certain groups suffered quietly.'

#TeslaTakedown today, March 29, 2025 in Rockville, MD. About 700 people showed up, up from 500 the previous weekend! #BankruptTesla #CancelStarlink #BoycottSpaceX #TeslaTakedown #ArrestElonMusk #ElonMusk #DOGE #Swastikars #SissySpaceX #NaziMusk #PresidentMusk #FuckElonMusk #USPol

Trolls gaining ground... @hal90001969.bsky.social He likes to call BLUE accounts treasonous. I blocked him. Be careful- the MAGAS are coming

Not satisfied with purchasing a Presidential Election to become co-President, Sissy SpaceX now wants to buy himself a Supreme Court judge in Wisconsin. You can end his shopping spree, Wisconsinites! 🚫 💰 #VoteForJudgeSusanCrawford 🗳️ ✅ 👍 This is super important.

This is wrong.

This man is a true patriot 🇺🇸

When you look at the list of institutions they want to defund: libraries, museums, the Smithsonian, public schools, PBS, NPR, archives, you can clearly see that the real threat to an authoritarian regime is an informed and educated public

The Govt has notified us that it will be moving to dismiss our MSPB claims with the argument the Board has no jurisdiction to decide constitutional cases. Recent DC Circuit decisions have benefited Trump Adminstration's efforts to fire protected civil servants. This case will help us fight back!

bring us your poor, your tired, and your huddled masses so we can stuff them in an unmarked van and ship them to a slave labor camp in an undisclosed location

As Attorney General, Brad Schimel sued to overturn the #AffordableCareAct and take away healthcare from Wisconsin families. If elected to the WI Supreme Court, we can't trust him to side with Wisconsinites over wealthy insurance and drug companies. Vote for Susan Crawford.

Are we great again yet?

"Fight the authoritarians on everything. If the stock market drops, scream about it. Because it’s their fault. When a kid dies of measles—their fault. Attack them every day, on whatever the latest thing is. Turn 'flood the zone' against them."

#ICYMI: I wrote for "One First" about the six(!) emergency applications from the Trump administration now pending before #SCOTUS—and how those cases present, both individually and collectively, critical tests for whether the Court is going to stand up to Trump: www.stevevladeck.com/p/135-the-tr...

We will not be distracted. We will not be discouraged. We’ve got our eyes on the prize. And we will build the prosperous, free nation for all that we deserve. The time to organize is now. OcasioCortez.com

Zelenskyy: I don't know what history books will write about me it's not my purpose or goal. I want to see my kids walk the streets without hiding. Growing up during the Cold War, I never imagined the US would turn its back on a country invaded by Russia. #ProudBlue #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice

Trump is 0-3 in cases brought by law firms he has targeted with illegal executive orders. Yet the cowards at two other law firms -- Paul Weiss and Skadden -- shamefully capitulated without putting up a fight.

NYC made a big noise to takedown tesla today. #teslatakedown

If you’re upset about the chaos and corruption Trump is inflicting on your country—whether your focus is the nihilistic dismantling of government, the economy, our foreign relations, or his threats to the rule of law—please join the nationwide marches on April 5. Learn more here 👉 handsoff2025.com

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what Trump did.

The reason that the US is locking up tourists for weeks in hellish detention centers rather than letting them book tickets back home is because the detention centers are owned by corporations. They are charging the taxpayers fortunes to cage these people, and making bonanzas off their suffering.

Someone tell DOGE! Brutal photo by huff post i love it

In Joyce Vance’s Civil Discourse Substack, we discussed how we can counter disinformation in today’s political climate.

A lot of applause at the Garcia Town Hall after he says: We have to stand up in this moment against that type of tyranny and those types of attacks.
