This is a good one to call your reps about, if you’re so inclined, bc a lot of them don’t know about it or why it matters — but they will make the effort to find out if constituents call.

Seems like a problem to fire a Jewish(?) employee for criticizing the owner's Nazi jokes. Seems that might be discrimination on the basis of religion.

You can understand almost all of American politics with just two numbers: 71% of Republican voters oppose Medicaid cuts. 100% of House Republicans are trying to cut Medicaid right now.

This vote was to start the process of the cuts. It WILL come back for a final vote. There are some chances to slow or potentially stop it. Need constant pressure on GOP Focus on GOP swing seats & key committees. Energy & Commerce is where the Medicaid fight will go down. Ways&Means for tax fight.

Dear Dems. This is a reminder that Donald Trump rescinded the ethics rules preventing gifts to executive branch employees. Now would be a good time to propose legislation formalizing the prevention into a law Time to do things that make him react to you. apnews.com/article/trum...

To me, a Nazi salute means, "I want to murder your family." There can be no irony about it: It puts deep anger and hatred in my heart to see it done and I will never forgive anyone who justifies or minimizes it.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

another great example along with Wired and Teen Vogue of how real journalism these days can be a lot braver at outlets where no one is trying to get in good with the White House press secretary they’re out here with us, reporting on what’s happening to us all, instead of trying to get inside access

I lost my job at the National Science Foundation yesterday, along with 167 of my colleagues, including some dear friends. This was the best job I've ever had, and I thought it would be my last. The PI community has been sympathetic and supportive, without exception. I will miss working for you.

Trump is telling us to our faces that he's going to stand by while Musk guts and likely steals the social security that several generations have paid into. He's counting on his flock being perfectly fine with it. And sadly, they probably will be.

Too many people on here seem to believe there are exactly two kinds of Americans: ardent politically-obsessed Bluesky users, and frothing MAGA cultists. There are a LOT of people in this country who just don’t pay a lot of attention one way or another. And we absolutely can reach them.

It cannot be said enough that France's Marine Le Pen refused for her National Rally to sit with the German AfD in the European Parliament, because she found them too extreme. JD Vance had a one-on-one meeting with the head of the AfD in Munich yesterday. JD Vance is to the right of Marine Le Pen.

“The Maryland National Guard must decline events which celebrates individuals based all or in part on immutable characteristics,” the memo said. Douglass was an abolitionist, suffragist, orator and author. That’s what we celebrate him. Let’s be clear: This bars celebrating him because he was Black.

FWIW I do see what Schumer & Jeffries are doing, & it's exactly what I've been telling them to do for 8+ years: blame everything on Republicans, not "Trump," and degrade the party's reputation as a whole. But that was then, and now is much more urgent; we don't have time for that strategy any more.

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again: an administration (and its supporters) who believe that they are not limited by the rule of law have no moral or philosophical claim to the protection of the rule of law. “The law is whatever we say it is” warrants the same in response.
