"I have no interest in compromising my views or not listening to my moral compass and my moral compass says war crimes are bad, no matter who commits them. Civilians should be protected no matter their nationality." @katmabu.bsky.social on running as a pro-Palestinian congressional candidate.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but fascism often begins with the slow erosion of civil liberties and the rise of authoritarianism under the guise of “security measures”

Trump's autocracy means get-out-of-jail-free cards for white collar fraudsters that include a sudden $2 million donor, an anti-Biden turncoat, and maybe the Fatburger ex-CEO. In just 69 days, he has destroyed the dream of equal justice in America My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/comm...

Also, a woman was handcuffed at a subway station in NYC (Franklin Ave) when she intervened asking why a delivery man was asked to show work permit by undercover agents. There is a video of that.

Our economy is far larger than it was decades ago. Where have most of the gains gone? To the top. Any path forward must include a fight to restructure the economy toward more widely shared prosperity. This isn’t a blue state vs. red state phenomenon. It’s a class phenomenon.

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen is introducing a constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United, the case that opened the floodgates to dark money and the buying of elections by billionnaires. 👏👏👏

We can’t just show up on Election Day and expect everything to be fixed with one vote. This work doesn’t take one election. It’s going to take years of hard work for us to rebuild a Democratic Party that looks different, sounds different, and one that we can all be proud of.

Make like the South Koreans. And the Israelis. Show the world that we can stand up for ourselves. April 5, everywhere: handsoff2025.com

1/6 We're seeing an uptick in scams pretending to be Bluesky or @aaron.bsky.team. These scammers are targeting artists via DMs, trying to take you off-app. Our moderation team is reviewing reports of these scammers and will take down their accounts. Here are some important reminders:

Just an incredibly weak and pathetic move by the White House Correspondents Association. At its core, this event is meant to celebrate free speech, and WHCA has surrendered to the worst people in our country. Amber Ruffin, you’re a genius, and we love you. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/29/u...

Democracy is being hijacked. Donald Trump and Elon Musk want us to believe that we will have a safe landing. It’s a lie.

Don’t believe the media- it is not radical to want billionaires and their conflicting interests out of our government.

We need a #generalstrike People! It’s nonviolent and hits this regime and the billionaires who are supporting this regime exactly where they need to be hit. We can do this. Sign up @generalstrikeus.bsky.social #resist #takethepowerback

C'mon karma! Daddy needs to lose his shoes!

'Home" is one of the most compelling poems I've ever read. This is why fascists want to ban books and control what we read. In today's climate, it is especially searing.

Hey NBC and Seth Meyers, y’all need to book the largest possible venue in D.C. on April 26th and do a competing fundraiser and comedy show that actually celebrates the First Amendment. Televise it. Make Amber Ruffin the central act. Send a message that free speech is non-negotiable.

Stopped by the Heights to grab some crawfish with our friends. People want someone that’s not afraid of Trump and his foolishness. Trust me, I’ll make him REAL tired of me 🔥

Elon’s back at it—trying to buy Wisconsin’s Supreme Court like he tried the presidency in PA. Mallory McMorrow exposes how he pulled this stunt in Michigan too. @mallorymcmorrow.bsky.social is exactly the kind of voice we need in the US Senate. The last thing Musk wants is a fighter like her in DC.

First…you bought your influence you douche. Second…you created the negative propaganda by just being yourself. Third…there is literally nothing positive about you. Fourth…you’re the evil motherfucker. Go fuck yourself.

Elon Musk has been a walking SEC violation for a decade and no one cared. The entire Trump era could have been avoided if the US took white collar crime anywhere near as seriously as it does low level drug crime.

This should be a KEY element to Democratic Party reform!

CONSTITUENT: One of the people on the call (Signal) was even in Moscow. @repcasar.bsky.social: Trump & Musk are talking about closing down phone lines in the Social Security office to verify your identity…because it’s not “secure” enough. Do you ever think a text message in Moscow is…secure? 🔥

Billionaires raked in record profits under Biden, but pushed hard for Trump—now they’ve lost billions. Here’s why they wanted Trump: 📌Tax cuts & deregulation 📌Worker exploitation 📌Keep the poor desperate 📌Racism as a weapon 📌Favor authoritarian control They wanted domination, not just profit.

During his recent visit to Kyiv, our ambassador @stationcdrkelly.bsky.social recorded a video address to his compatriots, explaining why it’s important to #StandWithUkraine — for him personally, and for every freedom-loving person. Thank you to Scott and to everyone who supports our country💙💛

🙌🏼 I’m not sure who had the amazing idea to invite this constitutional lawyer to a senate hearing that intended to prove Biden colluded with Meta to censor conservatives, but she took the opportunity to speak truth to power ✊🏼 on the hypocrite 👑 KING OF FREE SPEECH, Donald Trump, himself. 👏🏼 Brava!!

Great, sobering op-ed from a genius (and former Chuck Schumer staffer):

Nancy Mace is trying to censure me, Donald Trump is trying to arrest me, Elon Musk has promised us a primary in the next election. If this is my enemies list, then we are probably doing something right. Thanks to all who came to my townhall in Long Beach.

Trump wants to give almost $5 trillion in tax handouts to billionaires and billionaire corporations — paid for on the backs of seniors, veterans, public workers, and little kids.   We can’t let that happen.

RFK takes the CDC another step down the road to full-on anti-vax dangerousness. New from @propublica.org www.propublica.org/article/meas...

“I want this young man to grow up in a world free from war and free from hate.” This is our donor Deb Kroll with her grandson Ben. For Deb, supporting Ukraine isn’t just about helping, but also about contributing to a better future for the younger generations. 🧵👇

Garcia: I will never stop pushing back and fighting Elon Musk and Donald Trump until you throw me in Guantanamo Bay. I promise you that.

“Politics of division,” “polarization,” “in these divided times,” etc are too often used as weasel words to avoid acknowledging that Republican leaders have totally abandoned everything this country is supposed to stand for while the Democrats are always trying to reconcile, cooperate, and include.

This is a big deal: "street protests today are far more numerous and frequent than skeptics might suggest." Good read from @us.theguardian.com: www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Thank you @us.theguardian for documenting our reports.
