Rage-quit the bird app after 17 yrs when the nation failed the democracy exam. I'm #GenX #LGBTQIA Khive-adjacent. My Senator, my VP, shoulda been my president. Trying not to rage 24/7. My father parachuted into Europe to shoot Nazis in the face. Lucky.

Could you ever have imagined you would see a headline like this in your lifetime

Opinion | That four-year-old cancer victim is no angel.

Just sat down on the Capitol Steps with my good friend @booker.senate.gov to have a real conversation about the dangerous situation we confront in America. And what we can all do to stop it. Tune in live: www.youtube.com/watch?v=XBej...

This is a moral moment in America. Sitting on the Capitol steps with Leader Hakeem Jeffries this morning to discuss what’s at stake with Trump’s budget and affirm the need for collective action to protect Medicaid, food assistance, and other safety net programs. @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social

I voted for the Black woman whose mother was a cancer researcher & who wanted Medicare to cover in-home healthcare for caretakers. Some of you could’ve done that instead of giving her nicknames & pretending you care about this child when you didn’t care when he did this to kids w/ cancer last time.

Stop with the blue suit nonsense. I hate him with a white-hot intensity, but there are so many more important things, and he wasn’t the only one wearing a blue suit.

I’m no lawyer, but if he’s got proof that Social Security checks are landing in the hands of corpses, he should be testifying under oath—not blabbering online for clout.

How did I know they would completely defund Headstart? They wrote it down in Project 2025 .

#G20Movie making me enjoy an alternate universe with a kickass Black woman president, with kickass South African allies, taking on some Nazi crypto mfers

Van Hollen: "I'm very glad that the killed of Rachel Morin has been convicted in a court of law. That is how we hold guilty people accountable ... I'm not sure why Abrego Garcia's rights should be denied based on an awful murder he had absolutely nothing to do with."

Happy Easter, EVERYONE!! 👇 Seemed. Appropriate. Today. 😎✨

disciple 1: he’s alive! returned from the dead! disciple 2: did he roll away the stone? disciple 3: did he show you the holes in his hands? judas: did he uh. did he mention me

I wonder how those concepts of a healthcare plan are coming.

The sad state of the union.

Fox News has resorted to just straight up lying about Abrego Garcia, who has never been convicted or even charged with a crime

This is getting fewer headlines than it should. After coming to power promising to help working people, the president is revealing his real priorities by actively making it easier for banks to rip people off.

I think saying "in America, everyone is innocent until proven guilty" works better for low-info normies than saying "due process" does

I miss when the economy was booming, stocks were soaring, and we actually funded cancer research... Three months ago.

Mack Truck announces layoffs — due to truck orders that have been “negatively affected by .. the impact of tariffs.” @penncapital-star.com @scottlincicome.bsky.social penncapital-star.com/briefs/mack-...

“The Philadelphia Fed Manufacturing Index is probably the best metric to understand if the U.S. is ‘bringing manufacturing back home.’ And it's absolutely cratering: -26.4, one of the lowest readings in memory.”

Remove the Olympics & World Cup from US, it is not safe for visitors. When you travel to the US you risk arbitrary arrest and abduction, random acts of extreme firearm violence and terrorism, unknown pathogens and disease, and discrimination or xenophobic attacks.

I don't really care what the "political consequences" are of fighting for the proposition that *everyone* is entitled to due process before they are removed from the United States and sent to a Salvadoran prison. It's not really a principle if you only adhere to it when it's politically expedient.

Not sure who needs to hear this, but any govt official who violates someone's constitutional rights -- and is acting outside the scope of their lawful authority -- can be PERSONALLY liable in a civil suit. ICE officers. Cabinet members. White House staffers. Even the president.

pro tip: very few people right now want to hear about how your conscience wouldn't let you vote for Kamala. shut the fuck up

The freight guys have really started freaking out over the past 48-72 hours:

Supreme Court, if you're listening . . . SENATOR CHRIS VAN HOLLEN: "Has the Trump administration made any efforts to facilitate Kilmar Abrego Garcia's return to the United States?" US EMBASSY IN EL SALVADOR: "No."

If anyone you know in ICE tells you they’re “just following orders” remind them of the following: - they can read - they’re aware of the SCOTUS ruling and numerous injunctions around the illegality of what they’re doing - feigning ignorance will not soften their place in history…or in America.

Should have voted for Harris. November 5, 2024

What in the actual fuck?!

@xavierresists.bsky.social thank you for sharing this. The difference !!! Let make this viral!!!

Could've had a veteran prosecutor who protects the rule of law, offered $25,000 to first time home buyers and vowed to strengthen America's relationship with other world leaders but nah, America opts for a 2 liter of Orange Sprite that vowed to appoint The Nazgul to help him run his administration.

As a reminder it didn’t have to be this way. Cory Booker shouldn’t have had to stand and talk for 25 hours, Kilmar and others should not have been sent to COCET and my senator shouldn’t be in El Salvador. 77M voters did this and it’s just the beginning.

Unemployment up. Stock market down. Mortgage rates up. Consumer confidence at worst levels since the Great Depression. Are we great again yet?

#LockHimUp

Apparently telling a MAGAt to sh0ve their red hat somewhere is ‘threatening violence’ on reddit’s sad little site

A Chicago Bulls hoodie makes Kilmar Garcia a gang member the same way a shiny gold cross makes Karoline Leavitt a Christian.

The head of our country’s government is in the early stages of consolidating total power. We must of course reject this, but that is not enough. We have to respond by creating a different and better kind of American politics than we have seen before.

I’m sorry she lost her daughter—but Kilmar Garcia had nothing to do with it. She’s twisting two different stories. Mad her tax dollars sent Sen Van Hollen to El Salvador—but not mad they’re funding Kilmar’s indefinite imprisonment w/out due process? One more time: easier to be angry than informed.

Skipped the paperwork. Ignored the court order. Broke the law. Ignored the constitution. This ain’t immigration policy. This is straight-up defiance of the rule of law.
