He's not done, by the way. Education is first; they're also going to dismantle the Department of Energy and the Department of the Interior -- to continue the pillaging of federal lands and privatization of our natural resources. The United States of Whoever Can Give Him The Most Money.

AOC: What they like to call as radical, I believe is common sense. I believe that when a person gets sick, they shouldn’t go bankrupt in the wealthiest country in the history of the world. Common sense I believe that a minimum wage should cover the minimum cost to live. Common sense...

Trump's EO will make it harder for students to get help with financial aid, jeopardize funding schools and families count on, & make it easier for predatory businesses to rip students off. Trump, Musk, and McMahon’s goal is clear: destroy public schools and enrich themselves.

A leaked Wall Street memo confirms that privatizing the Post Office would mean higher prices, mass layoffs, and worse service — especially for rural America.

"I love the poorly educated." -TFG As @ninaturner.bsky.social says, we need more education, not less. Not to mention how this will impact special education, disabled rights, and (as always, with these people) minority education and advancement.

Again: if he ignores courts and the courts can’t do anything to enforce their rulings, then it isn’t illegal except on paper. This is trademark authoritarianism.

In addition to how vile and clueless this is, I continue to be fascinated by Elon’s utter and complete tastelessness, his total loserdom. His constant adherence to these memes, to this garbage, chintzy AI, suggests a shallowness of the soul, an inability to actually experience the greatness of art.

I have so much respect for @alyssamerc.bsky.social & @taylorlorenz.bsky.social, two women who have been targeted for harassment by some of the worst people imaginable. Please support them wherever you can, starting with this great conversation.

The Trump regime will arrest you in the middle of the night because you spoke your mind. And federal agents in plain clothes who refuse to identify themselves will be the ones to do it. If you think I'm being hyperbolic, watch this clip.

Not only should they face primaries, but four of them -- Schumer, Durbin, Cortez-Masto, and Schatz -- are members of the minority leadership. They must all be removed immediately.

@murray.senate.gov @cantwell.senate.gov Thank you for using your power and voting NO on cloture for today's CR. Now, you must listen to your constituents and remove all Democratic Senators who voted for cloture from their leadership positions. Sens. Schumer, Durbin, Cortez-Masto & Schatz must go.

Here are the “Democratic” Senators that voted YES on the GOP budget that doesn’t protect Medicare and Social Security: Schumer-NY Fetterman-PA Cortez-Masto-NV Durbin-IL King-ME Schatz-HI Hassan-NH Peters-MI Gillibrand-NY Shaheen-NH They should all face primaries.

Democratic Senators who voted to allow cloture on the CR today are collaborators. They should never know a moment of peace.

It is legal to criticize the president. It is legal to criticize the president's actions. It is legal to criticize the president's advisors. It is legal and patriotic and the blood of a healthy society to hold those in power accountable, and even to mock them. Remember it.

Between this and the Columbia stuff I hope everyone understands that when you compromise with fascists the result is the same. The only difference in the end is, they got you to contribute to the project of your own annihilation

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable. Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes. Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

Every accusation is a confession. These monsters hide behind their “faith” and power to abuse the vulnerable and protect their bigotry. This is not the Gospel. These people are everything Christ preached against — yet so many, even people I love, believe their hate and lies. 😞

@cantwell.senate.gov @murray.senate.gov This is my message to the Senators of my state: do NOT vote for cloture for the CR for the debt ceiling/government funding. Do not give one inch to the unelected oligarch using his fascist puppets in the Republican Party to strip away government programs. 🛑👎🏻

I can (and do) explain the "law" behind Mahmoud Khalil's unlawful abduction and rendition to a for-profit concentration camp. But if you're waiting for the law to stop this, you've got it wrong.

The current president is trying to ‘Manifest Destiny’ his legacy by berating independent nations like Canada and Panama to concede their sovereign territory to his whims. Remember that Manifest Destiny was a racist, genocidal settler-colonial campaign that destroyed millions of lives. 🇨🇦🇵🇦🇬🇱
