I will use every tool at my disposal to protect this country from Trump. I will litigate to defend voting rights until there are no cases left to bring. I will speak out against authoritarianism until my last breath. I will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey.

This.

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

No, but if youā€™re looking for one, I am aware of a guy you work with that was indicted four times and convicted of thirty-four felonies.

There are moments in these deportation fights when I can just FEEL how pissed off they are that Iā€™m Puerto Rican šŸ˜‚ they want to threaten me with it so bad šŸ˜‚

šŸ“¢ ā€œHeā€™s trying to steal Medicaid to enrich himself. Heā€™s gutting NASA to line his pockets with SpaceX. Heā€™s looting everything good in America for private profit.ā€ - @aoc.bsky.social at todayā€™s #SaveOurServices NYC rally. The fight isnā€™t over. Join us: go.savepublicservices.com

Chris Murphy: "My prediction is that if you vote for Kash Patel, more than any other confirmation vote you make, you will come to regret this one to your grave."

Pritzker: If we donā€™t want to repeat history, then for godā€™s sake, in this moment, we better be strong enough to learn from it.

BREAKING: USAID contractors/aid recipients say Secretary Rubio and USAID leader Peter Marocco should be held in civil contempt for violating a court order to lift spending freeze.

The root that tears apart your foundation begins as a seed of distrust, hate, and blame. The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe didnā€™t arrive overnight. It started with everyday Germans mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame.

This is true. @bsky.app is the app of the people. We may not all agree. We may not even all like each other. But we can engage and disagree and agree with our hate That makes the platform the future of social media

What the actual fuck?! America, itā€™s time to rise. When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty!

Kamala was right. And it only took him less than 30 days to roll over for Putin.

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage.

Thank you to @maddow.msnbc.com for promoting @bsky.app on air and complimenting it. Her on air support is truly important

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russiaā€™s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraineā€™s voice is heard on the world stage.

Marco Rubio's collaboration with Russia's Sergei Lavrov and Putin is one of the most disgusting acts of betrayal to democracy and our nation. Rubio has secured his place in history of infamy.

I am not making this up: Republicans have introduced legislationā€¦ to increase your bank fees.

OSHA has ordered the digital and physical destruction of 18 publications on workplace safety practices, according to an internal February 7 email obtained by Popular Information. The purge appears to be part of the Trump administration's effort to terminate any activities associated with DEIA.

For any Republicans out there-- don't you see what's happening? Your elected officials, drunk with power, are quietly and quickly getting filthy rich. And in exchange, they're cutting your Medicaid, cutting your education funding, cutting SNAP benefits, cutting medical research.

When a judge stops the president from doing something illegal, thatā€™s not a ā€œthreat to democracy,ā€ thatā€™s a check on the presidentā€™s power. That's the whole damn point.

History doesnā€™t repeat itself, but it often rhymesā€¦

I repeatā€¦

The flying public needs answers. How many FAA personnel were just fired? What positions? And why?

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

"Attorneys, he said, 'donā€™t resign because you disagree with the policies, but because you are being asked to do something you believe is ethically, morally or legally improper'...ā€ www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

This negotiation between the US and Russia, and cutting out Ukraine, is just like when Trump cut out Afghanistan and negotiated with Taliban. We see how that ā€œgood dealā€ turned out. Afghanistan was on Trump Every Trump deal fails

Thank you to everyone who has joined the resistance! Our ranks grow stronger every day.

Imagine if @aoc @sanders.senate.gov , every dem, SIMULTANEOUSLY held Town Halls where they allowed grant and contract recipients to explain to the country what it is they do and why it's important Invite all media. Including RW podcasters. @spaces Flood the zone Call it a Day Of Transparency

Quick reminder: DOGE isnt real. Its a figment of President Musks imagination and has no power, and isnā€™t an agency

ā€œI think the strategy here is: ā€˜Well, weā€™re just going to do it and dare somebody to stop us, and by the time they stop us, weā€™ll have destroyed it.ā€™ā€ www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
