Harvard’s putting up a fight from the academic sector. Where are our business leaders?? The silence is deafening. The latest No Mercy / No Malice: www.profgalloway.com/breaking-the...

Booker: Do you think we got the right to vote for women because a bunch of men on the House floor got together and said ā€œon the count of three, women get the right to vote..ā€ That’s not how it happened… Change doesn’t come from Washington. It comes to Washington.

ā€œCowardice is contagious — so is courage.ā€ ā€œThat’s what we’ve been seeing month after month... Starting with some people demonstrating courage, and then other people looking around and saying I can do that, too. It’s in my power. I’m not just a victim of world events.ā€ - @ezralevin.bsky.social

Stop calling it deporting, so MAYBE more Americans will get it. "Deporting" is sending someone back, after due process, to the country they came from, where they arrive a free person. This is human trafficking to a foreign torture prison for the rest of their lives. GET THE LANGUAGE RIGHT.

The failure isn’t the insane President. The failure is all the supposedly sane people pretending he’s not.

No lawmaker in Congress should be able to own, buy, and sell individual stocks. We need to ban congressional stock trading—and I've got a bill for that.

If you made my grandma stand outside in a line in AZ for hours to find out why her Social Security check hadn’t come and then told her to ā€˜come back tomorrow’ or figure it out online. I would spend the rest of my days making sure the political party that caused it became extinct.

Yes, the stock market may be tanking and our national security apparatus has never been more vulnerable and we're on the verge of both economic collapse and war, but it was all worth it to keep pronouns out of email signatures.

me to the united states: this could be us but you playin’

Retweet this if Cory Booker is making you cry with pride and hope right now.

Fam, remember three years ago when Cory Booker brought tears to all of our eyes when he lifted up Ketanji Brown Jackson? ā€œYou are worthy.ā€ That’s who he is. That’s who he’s always been. @booker.senate.gov

Cory. One hour to go to break Strom Thurmond’s record. You’ve got this friend.

Longest speaking filibuster ever was 24 hours, 18 minutes by Strom Thurmond in opposition to the Civil Rights Act of 1957. In a few hours, that record will be shattered by Sen. Cory Booker, a Black man, laying out the case for saving democracy from an aspiring despot.

@cg968.bsky.social hellooooooo!

A worker making $50,000 a year contributes to Social Security with 100% of their income. A CEO making $20 million a year contributes to Social Security with less than 1% of their income. Who agrees it’s time to scrap the cap?

Ossoff: He’s so consumed by his efforts to secure revenge, crush his enemies, and conquer Greenland that he’s doing nothing for the people who elected him. His entire domestic agenda is tax breaks for the wealthy, rounding up immigrants, revenge, and centralizing as much power as he can..

šŸ”‘ under-discussed point — why they were on signal:

Democrats on the various Senate Committees who will be hosting the members of the Houthi PC Group Chat had better...and I mean this respectfully...FUCKING INCINERATE THEM. Save the bullshit. Burn it down. USE THE WORDS: illegal. treason. leak. reckless. dangerous. compromised. DEMAND THEIR PHONES.

I heard the orange felon hates this hideous portrait of himself and his demanding Colorado officials take it down from being displayed in their state Capitol. Don’t you dare continue to spread it around. šŸ˜

So…lock them up?

Has anyone called for Hegseth to resign yet?

Chants of TAX THE RICH! From today’s Indivisible empty chair town hall for Darrell Issa - who just so happens to be the richest person in Congress. @velshi.bsky.social @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com @maddow.msnbc.com @indivisible.org

Do you know why rural and working people are listening to Walz and AOC and Bernie? Because they tell the damn truth. Because they are passionate about people. Because they are authentic. Because they care. They are the new face of the opposition.

The GOP is filled with the worst people.

So much for the ā€œFree Speechā€ champions.

Indeed.

The GOP has a majority in both chambers of Congress and crafted a budget with *zero* input from Dems. If there’s a shutdown, they don’t get to blame Democrats. You knew you’d need Dem votes to make it happen. Should have spend some time earning some.

There are more kids with measles in Texas than there are Trans Athletes in the NCAA but you don’t hear MAGA out there talking about that now do you?

Sell your Tesla. Especially your Cybertrucks, which are the stupidest cars in existence. The rest of us just point and laugh at them when they roll by.

how come other countries get to have their shithole presidents carted off to The Hague, but not ours. so fucking unfair
