Could not agree more. The Prez & VP are shameful, embarrassing Putin puppets & a disgrace to our country. 🤮 #SlavaUkraine 🇺🇦

"History will remember this day— when an American President and Vice President abandoned all we stand for."

Well, holy crap. 😳

Don’t bother trying to explain the economic consequences of tariffs to morons who believe treating people fairly makes airplanes crash

The people of Colorado are NOT happy with what's happening in Washington DC. If you didn't know, let this make it very clear.

This is absolutely alarming and horrible.

At OPM, Musk’s staffers won’t leave—they work around the clock and have even installed sofa beds in the office. Our access to data systems has been restricted, raising serious concerns about cybersecurity and a complete lack of oversight. We are keeping our heads down and documenting everything.

Trump put a freeze on hiring air traffic controllers and, on Musk’s instruction, fired the FAA chief early without replacing him. This should be the only thing Dems are saying today. They should all be out on media saying this.

This is a crucial point to remember. MAGA has had this dehumanizing propaganda fed to them even longer.

Thank you @seattletimes-rss.bsky.social for publishing my Op-Ed today. RFK Jr.’s “confirmation would undermine public health and betray hardworking health care professionals and researchers who work relentlessly to keep our patients safe and healthy” www.seattletimes.com/opinion/a-nu...

Do not Do not Do NOT Announce or even hint on your social media that you’re doing illegal or potentially illegal things. Even if for excellent reasons. You will be a target and make the people you aid targets.

This. Absolutely this.

things i think as we enter another 4 years in the funhouse: 1/ trump doesn't have the horses or the discipline to end democracy and stuff 2/ trump's agenda is going to be very unpopular when it's actually implemented 3/ this is still gonna be a nightmare

one reason i am adamant that we should not treat the constitution as purely or exclusively a form of law is that it cedes the field to clever lawyers. “oh, well if some chuds in trump’s white house says birthright citizenship doesn’t exist then i guess it doesn’t exist.” but

This feels appropriate for today and, at least, the next 4 years.

Today: On how all the normalizing is about (in part) fear of facing the grief & loss that this moment demands. But people have been up against harder, and faced it down. This is new terrain, but we can do this. It's time for you to become the leader you seek. We must figure this out together.

Everything is dumb and terrible, and it's gonna be dumb and terrible for a while. It’s important to do what you can to make it less dumb and terrible, and it's important to find a way make some contentment for yourself in spite of everything being dumb and terrible.

I'll be going dark on Meta platforms beginning Sunday for at least a week. And no Amazon purchases during that time, either.

Exactly this.

Good read!

I'm signing up for this one!

I really hope at some point the rightwing victimhood thing rings hollow because we’re at the point now where they have the Supreme Court, 99.9% of billionaires, the house, the senate, the presidency, and they’re going “you know who is oppressing us now? The deaf”

It also makes it harder for them to ban books.

Reposting so I can watch it repeatedly (if needed) to keep the info fresh. These two women are wonderfully knowledgeable and real.

Sigh. Here we go.

Jessica: You say that people wanted this -- the richest man in the world wanted this. What's your problem with a bipartisan cancer research program?

Jeffries: In our nation's history, 25% of our nation's debt was accumulated during the four years of the former president, 25%. How dare you lecture America about fiscal responsibility ever.
