A part of nature that defends itself. A part of democracy that defends itself. The animal who looks out of my eyes. It’s about the climate now.

"Tyranny requires your fear and your silence and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage." -- @govpritzker.illinois.gov

Is it fair to say that right now AOC is the leader of the Democratic Party? She seems to be like one of six people who doesn’t spend the day paralyzed by fear and pissing herself.

When Trump was sworn in, Elon Musk's corporations were under more than 32 investigations conducted by at least 11 federal agencies. Most of the cases are now closed or likely to be closed soon, and the federal agencies are being defanged by DOGE. Funny how that works, huh?

The top health care companies in America spent 95% of their profits to make their CEOs & stockholders obscenely rich. How many Americans would be alive today if those companies spent $2.6 trillion on disease prevention and primary care, instead of stock buybacks and dividends?

Google’s online and mobile calendars are no longer including references to Black History Month, Women’s History Month and LGBTQ+ holidays. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

A coalition of news organizations said in a court filing that video exhibits from a Jan. 6 riot case had "disappeared" from a government platform that provided access to evidence used in court.

Now we’re down to this level.

Friendly reminder that as Republucans ban abortion, they are also coming after Medicaid, which funds 41% of all births in this country. So the cost of these forced births will have to be paid for by the women.

Disney caves. Activists targeting corporate diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives include Trump, US AG Pam Bondi, Republican state AGs led by Texas AG Ken Paxton, new EEOC chief, shareholder activists National Center for Public Policy Research, & social media influencer Robby Starbuck.

It is better to risk the unknown than to accept the unacceptable.

MAGA racists like Lauren Boebert and Matt Gaetz are so upset about Kendrick Lamar’s brilliant half time show and it’s hilarious to see them whine even though Boebert was thrown out of Beetlejuice for performing lewd sexual acts and Gaetz paid to traffic and rape minors. But rap.

We blink and we miss it.

Tweet of the Night 🏆

I realized today that Trump, Musk, DOGE, Vance, Miller, Vought and their many collaborators have broken so many laws already that they know they have to destroy our government and entire way of life to stay out of jail. This is all or nothing. We should respond accordingly.

“A dark day… today we all lose….” Shuttering U.S.A.I.D. is impacting the soybean industry — Tennessee’s #1 cash crop, contributing billions to our economy. More: arec.tennessee.edu/wp-content/u...

That tracks 🤪

Climate action globally is under threat. It’s hugely urgent to seize initiative from rightwing populists. We need to change tactics: start by building climate resilience in local communities where people can feel tangible benefits – we’re calling it climate popularism. @rupertread.bsky.social & me🧵

Spread the word!!!

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

Happening today!

On top of the horrific god awful sorrow, -feeling the need to protect your daughter’s memory from the stench that drools from every pore of this demonic blob of a president.

If you searched “transgender” on the Center for Disease Control and Prevention website the day before Trump took office—you’d find helpful information. If you make the same web query on the CDC.gov now, those webpages bring you an error message: “The page you’re looking for was not found.”

If this country actually hired people based solely on their competence and merit we sure as shit wouldn’t be looking at the second term of an insurrectionist felon fraud who saddled our country with $8T in new debt, lost the most jobs since Herbert f’ng Hoover, and let 500K people die on his watch.

Pete Buttigieg just set the record straight!! 🔥🔥🔥💙💙💙 #fdt #trump #planecrash #resist #bluecrew

As always, @aoc.bsky.social knows the assignment.

Tyre Nichols. Say his name.

As Tennessee lawmakers prepare to take up the governor’s $424 million private-school voucher plan in a special session, a national researcher says such “voucher schemes” hurt public schools, “devastate” student learning and hit states hard financially.

Thank you on behalf of future generations.
