The President of Finland has been a strong and articulate voice in condemning the war in Ukraine and supporting Ukraine’s sovereignty. It would be encouraging to see more world leaders adopt such a resolute and clear stance on this critical issue.

How bathroom bans actually work.

The *exact* same people who lost their minds over a tan suit are actively protecting a sexual predator who has no business being free, let alone heading up the department of justice. Leak. The. Report.

Release the Gaetz Report Now!

I see how that works, yes. Do you?

🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

People often talk about equality but isn’t equity vital as well?

Leak the report. Pass it on.

This incredible woman has more courage than any Republican member of Congress. Representative-Elect Sarah McBride responds to the pathetic transgender bathroom ban just announced by the coward Mike Johnson.

Top Dem on Ethics Cmte Rep Wild on Gaetz report: “It should certainly be released to the Senate, and I think it should be released to the public, as we have done with many other investigative reports in the past." Absolutely right. This report must be made public.

This election was never about the price of eggs or gas Whip Clark (D-MA). It’s always been about culture wars that protect white fragility. They hate everyone, that aren’t like them and they won the message. Until we adopt negative partisanship into our messaging, we won’t win again. #DemVoice1

Republican Rep. Michelle Steel is poised to lose her Orange County, CA, House seat in the nation’s closest race. Steel led by 58 votes Thursday, but Democrat Derek Tran took a 36-vote lead Friday, growing to 102 by Monday. If Tran wins, the seat flips from 🔴 to 🔵 underscoring how every vote matters

If Matt Gaetz DIDNT rape a minor, the GOP would have released the report. Just fyi

I’m old enough to remember MTG showing naked pics of Hunter Biden on the Congressional floor during their investigation. Hunter is neither: A: Member of Congress B: Accused of Sexual assault. There was no reason then and all the reasons now. Release the report.

Trump's education secretary nominee once said she had an education degree. She doesn't. You cannot make this junk up. Trump's cabinet will be filled with liars, sexual assaulters, puppy killers, Russian assets, and a man who claims a worm ate his brain. www.usatoday.com/story/news/e...

Who’s down with this? ✋🏽

Starting to settle in with this BlueSky place… love the feeling of positivity versus the other place…

Nikki Haley highlights the danger of Trump’s DNI pick, Tulsi Gabbard, which was already wholly predictable when Nikki endorsed Trump. You have yourself to thank, Nikki.

There you have it. Texas is the first state to officially offer up their state for the concentration camps

Going through depression after the election, wading through the X cesspool, then coming to a warm post election greeting at Bluesky feels a bit like George Bailey getting all the love at the end of "It's a Wonderful Life."

*taps sign*

Really great work from @andershviid.bsky.social and colleagues. This underscores the value and importance of keeping up to date on COVID-19 vaccines among older adults.

"We need a President to run the country like a business," says MAGA as they proceed to hire the worst businessman available who, in turn, hires the worst people available. If this was a corporation, investors would be dumping the stock like it was Truth Social.

To those still wondering why we lost a close election and what group Dems might have reached better, I say this: All this handwringing ignores the fact that more people voted for the convicted felon, sexual assaulter and insurrectionist. Our problems run deep. Half the voters made an INSANE choice.

MAGA = NAZI It's literally the same ideology of hate.

A lot of folks are giving up in advance. Capitulating before a single skirmish. Well, not this old warrior. I’ve seen much worse from the U.S. government in my day. I’m concerned for our country, but not a bit scared of these miscreants. I’m ready to do my part. Who’s with me?

This is particularly gratifying.

MOOD FOR THE NEXT FOUR FUCKING YEARS. #goodtrouble

Name a better qualified doctor than Dr. Oz, we’ll go first:

No dictator has ever destroyed a democracy alone. Every dictator has millions of brainwashed groupies.

RFK Jr. attacks "red state people" in recently unearthed footage: "Red state people are more likely to murder you, to impregnate your teenage daughter, to commit a violent crime against you..."

Politics 101: Recess Appointments

Lots of stories about how mass deportations will spike food prices and cause inflation. But as Tom Bonier noted, only one published before Election Day...

All Ethics Committee members now have access to the Gaetz report. That’s major progress. The report must be released immediately. Let’s keep on pushing!

You’ll never guess who says he is considering taking away Medicaid and food stamps from up to 70 million Americans… Did y’all wanna talk about the price of eggs still or nah?

So did all these news orgs just schedule these pieces for *after* the election or what

It took me twelve years (!) to build up my audience on Twitter. It took 5 days to surpass the 50% point of my Twitter following on Bluesky. I’m hopeful that the overall growth on this site will negate the need to go on Twitter altogether. Sad to see what it devolved into, but thrilled to see it die.

In times like these, community is everything. That's why we are so honored to be part of this pro-democracy Bluesky community. It's great to see how quickly this platform is growing, reconnect with familiar faces, and actually be able to follow the latest news again! Let's keep this energy going!!!

Truth be told, it does seem kind of silly to have the FBI do background checks on presidential appointees when the president is a convicted criminal and an adjudicated digital rapist.

I will never understand how a billionaire, the richest man on Earth, spent millions to buy an election for ANOTHER billionaire, and told us that his policies would cause all of us non-billionaires “temporary hardship...” ...and the public didn't tell BOTH OF THEM to fuck off.

The same Republicans trying to put a man accused of child sex trafficking at the top of the DOJ and an anti-vaxxer atop HHS, are telling us that the reason they’re banning drag queens, gender affirming care & books with two mommies is because they want to ‘protect our kids.’ Bullshit.
