Also if you feel strongly about Eric Adams, you should call your city councilmember to express that and ask for their position. You’d be surprised. Hochul’s stance is highly disappointing but it doesn’t come from nowhere. Press all your electeds. City elections are in 5 months. Ask candidates too.

Not content with purchasing the presidency, Elon Musk now wants to buy the Wisconsin Supreme Court as well. His PAC just pumped $1M into supporting anti-choice right-wing extremist Brad Schimel. Wisconsin — don't become Musk's latest acquisition! Vote @crawfordforwi.bsky.social.

Trump's attacks on the USPS aren't new. For decades, the GOP has been trying to privatize the Post Office and other crucial public services — all to pad the profits of their wealthy corporate donors.

This is key to understanding the building outrage & backlash that extends way beyond the hurt of those fired. Firing people for no reason is brutal & loathsome but the even larger overall offense is wiping out all the fired people’s jobs with them, all the purposes & needs & value those jobs serve.

This is very, very bad. Am working on a write-up, but let’s just say that firing military leaders for blatantly political reasons is wildly inappropriate; firing all the too lawyers is ominous; firing them all at the same time is a terrifying five-alarm fire

West Virginia's opioid crisis benefited exponentially from ACA & Expansion of Medicaid. Making treatments illegal will KILL people. A state house is saying on record that they want people to DIE & receive no help. This is ABSOLUTELY disgusting, disturbing and on-point for this Administration. SICK!🤬

Great question. In most states, Medicaid is called something else and MOST people on these insurances don't even realize they are on it. For instance, in Connecticut it's called "HUSKY" in California it's called Medi-Cal. This is OUR opportunity to educate people & a sad &TRUE #FAFO moment in time.

1 in 5 Americans DEPEND on Medicaid. I depend on the program as do millions of others of people with disabilities, seniors, children, low-income and many vulnerable populations. Any major cuts to the program would be devastating and catastrophic. www.kff.org/medicaid/iss...

They are telling us, out loud, exactly how the 2026/28 elections will not be free & fair. They will go after vote by mail (bsky.app/profile/mira...). They will go after computer voting. They will then say we can't count all the paper ballots because it's taking too long & there must be fraud. Etc.

The Trump-Vance-Musk regime is not only undermining democracy in the US. It is laying the foundation for undermining democracies around the world. The emerging battle will be global democracy vs. a global oligarchy. The US is emerging on the side of global oligarchy.

The threat is also a reminder that Trump has taken over the GOP, but has not interest in the party beyond its usefulness to him and his cult of personality. This makes the stoogeification of the party all the more pathetic.

If Democrats want to regain working people, they must disavow Big Money. That starts with banning super PAC donations in Dem primaries. There’s no way the party can speak for the majority of working people in America if it's beholden to corporate interests.

The battle of our day is no longer about Democrats versus Republicans or left versus right. The choice right now is democracy or dictatorship. And we're sliding faster than I ever thought possible into the latter. Everyone must choose which side they’re on. Now.
