On April 4, 1865, President Lincoln visited Richmond, VA, after the Confederate Army evacuated the city. He was greeted by freed African Americans, a testament to the collapse of the Confederacy & the impending end of slavery. 138 days to Slavery Remembrance Day. #CountDowntoSRD

“Only in your spirit and determination are you prepared for war…as your limited resources begin to fail, shut out from the markets of Europe as you will be, your cause will begin to wane. If your people will but stop and think, they must see in the end that you will surely fail.”

Thanks Senator Cassidy for reminding America: When MAGA says it will “reform” Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security, they mean they will “cut” Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security. Clearly time to “reform” MAGA.

I had no idea you were on here @genshermansghost.bsky.social ! I've promoted this petition since I found it. The neo-Confederates in the government today won't honor the results, but maybe it will come true later. After all, no one did more to free Georgia than you. www.change.org/p/ryan-mccar...

@booker.senate.gov Senator, we the people sincerely thank you. For 25 hours and 5 minutes you showed us the passion and leadership we’ll need in order to create a better America beyond our current hellscape.

We will not be distracted. We will not be discouraged. We’ve got our eyes on the prize. And we will build the prosperous, free nation for all that we deserve. The time to organize is now. OcasioCortez.com

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

Now would be a great time for members of the military to remember their oath to defend against all threats, foreign and domestic.

Here are the options on the table (which are not mutually exclusive): 1. House Dems bring articles of impeachment* 2. Senate Dems play constitutional hardball and obstruct everything 3. State AGs litigate (and prosecute) everything they can 4. Citizens march en mass

There appear to be at least three separately operating heel factions breaking things within the government in wholly different ways right now. There's the Miller-headed immigration one, the DOGE/Elon one, and a Project 2025 OMB one. This dynamic hasn't showed up in mainstream reporting at all.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

History is littered with democracies that lost their freedoms without seeming to notice while it was happening. Let’s not become one of them.

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too. Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more. Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.

They tried to erase history. We loudly said "Hell no." They folded. We should say "Hell no" a lot more.

I have and will continue to. But you know why I say it here ? Because @bsky.app is 30m strong and growing quickly. The collective wisdom and influence of users here is far greater than any individual democrat. I can't say it enough. Bluesky can be the influence that can counter RW media.

AOC: I don’t care what Elon Musk is doing behind the presidential seal, but in this country we hate Nazis. Kind of like a foundational defining thing. Two of the foundational things about American history is that we beat the confederates and we beat the Nazis.

The "he's not gonna listen to her" reactions are missing many points. Lots of other people are also hearing it. Lots of people can see him hearing it, then weigh what she's said with what he'll do. Lots of people can see her refusal to surrender these ancient teachings to the latest face of empire

Every generation has fought its battles. We founded America fighting a king, preserved it fighting racists, and established ourselves as a world power fighting Nazis. Oligarchs have installed a regime that is proudly all of these.

Dear Modern Humans, You thought you were so much smarter than people from the Middle Ages. But you're not. Why do you think the dark ages lasted so long? It was because of greedy, insane despots who crushed progress and dangerous thoughts. It won't end until you rise up and overthrow them all.

The insanity of being a fire ecologist in the epicenter of a major fire event, bags packed and ready to evacuate, watching active fire from my window, while taking media requests and explaining to the public, for the 100,000th time how climate change is largely responsible for this

In treading upon the ashes of dead men in Italy, Egypt - on the banks of the Bosphorus, one almost despairs to think how idle are the dreams and toils of this life, and were it not for the intellectual pleasure of knowing and learning, one would almost be damaged by travel in these historic lands.
