Sequins can’t save you now, Kitara Ravache!

Cooper: Wow, his image is being shown on a monitor.. that's why you hear people actually applauding. They're applauding President Zelenskyy when he appeared on some of the Jumbotrons

WHY SEEMINGLY GOOD PEOPLE VOTE BADLY Good people can vote badly because they’re seduced by OTHERISM. Blaming or excluding others gives a false sense of pride, safety, and belonging. That feeling can override empathy, reason, and moral judgment—making cruelty feel not just justified, but right. ⬇️

It's time to get LOUD! ✊

This.

Everyone, hide the ketchup…👇 It’s going to get messy.

Harvard scientist Kseniia Petrova has been in ICE custody for about two months. Her colleague and friend Leon Peshkin says her case is causing some scientists to reconsider working in the U.S.

Well, well, well. If it isn’t Watergate 2.0. On steroids. And cocaine. Has the Justice dept ever investigated Lindsay Graham, Mitch McConnell, Ron Johnson, Kennedy from Louisiana, or Jill stein about THEIR funding from Russia? 🧐 Get LOUD! 🗣️ 🎁 article. #Voices4Victory wapo.st/3EEFVwD

I want politics to be about a better everyday life. Here's what that can look like:

The lady at the grocery store self checkout told me she looks forward to talking to me every week. So, yeah, I'm feeling pretty good about myself.

“Pro-life”

An autism "registry" culled from private medical records could potentially violate federal privacy laws and runs the risk of abuse. It also harkens back to a time when disabled people were labeled, segregated, and excluded. We won't go back.

The Trump admin is plotting to erase protections for our health, food, safety, and more—using shady legal tricks to bulldoze decades of regs. It’s a “flood the zone” strategy to overwhelm the system. Also, it’s all part of the authoritarian blueprint: Project 2025. VC Coral Davenport NYT

The best thing you can do for Ukraine as USians, is remove the Trump regime from power. At the very least it'll allow the rest of the world to deal with Russia accordingly.

Wake up, Europe! ruzzia only understands force. It will only back down after being militarily defeated. We need to escalate. Impose a shield over ukranian airspace. Engage EU troops in western Ukraine. @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu @kajakallas.bsky.social @eucopresident.consilium.europa.eu

ok which one of u was this lol

BREAKING: White House says that those who leaked the story about Pete Hegseth giving war plans to his family on Signal might be prosecuted… So apparently, ‘the whistleblowing’ is the crime, not the crime itself?!

Hi, BlueSky. It's Hillary. I've joined up here to help get the word out about an important election in Wisconsin tomorrow, and other ways to defend our democracy against those who think votes can be bought.

@theclintpodcast.bsky.social “I’d like to see a Democratic president try that thing with the guns.”

I’m glad we have data for this, but I also want to challenge folks: are you REALLY surprised? I don’t mean in a “no duh” way, but more like, what sort of response do you think should young people would or should have to the last 25 years?

OMG

When Terrorist Trump almost died of COVID, he received the best treatments; and now he is killing us by destroying our bureaucracies, which were created by Congress to protect Americans, not just that freeloader Terrorist Trump! www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

History always has a lesson.

Also need Dem infighting to stop. Debate, discuss, compete, but stay unified, OR let's get that third, Independent, non-affiliated party.

“We’re headed towards…” is a phrase that is no longer acceptable as it relates to authoritarianism. We arrived weeks ago. apple.news/Afn5usfmGRcq...

This is just Foreplay for Krasnov's Real Crime Wave.....

While MAGA salivates over the COVID files, I can’t help but laugh that they thought all vaccinated people would be dead by now. 🤦‍♀️🤣🤦‍♀️🤣

Van Hollen: When I told him that his wife and family sent their love and were fighting for him to return home every day, he said that he was worried about all of you. He spoke several times about your 5-year-old son who has autism.

Hegseth is now without a chief of staff, a deputy chief of staff and a senior advisor, less than 100 days into his tenure. A "senior defense official" suggested he made poor choices for who to trust in his inner circle, with another saying there would likely be more "chaos" to follow soon.

If Trump “can’t” return a person mistakenly sent to another country’s prison…every pending case should use Abrego’s case as the #1 reason why no one should be deported without due process. And definitely not to a foreign country where the USA has no power m.youtube.com/watch?v=tOhT...

Trump and RFK Jr. Are Making Cancer Great Again - The Nation

“‘We are all afraid,’ Murkowski said, taking a long pause. ‘It’s quite a statement. But we are in a time and a place where I certainly have not been here before. And I’ll tell ya, I’m oftentimes very anxious myself about using my voice, because retaliation is real. And that’s not right.’”

Of course, Pam Bondi's name is "Pamela Jo Bondi." Straight out of a Florida trailer park.
