Democratic voters are flooding Congress with calls, demanding action. Rep. Jim McGovern: “I can’t recall ever receiving this many calls.” Trump is unleashing spiteful, targeted policies—attacking immigrants, LGBTQ+ people, Black Americans, and the disabled. Silence is not an option.

The Senate just confirmed one of the architects of Project 2025, Russell Vought, to be Trump's OMB Director. ALL Republicans voted in favor. ALL Democrats voted against.

If only there was a word for when an unelected oligarch moves quickly to take over control of the government. The legacy media is failing us. Support independent media. www.democracydocket.com

Dear Democratic Leaders: here’s a free idea, send members of congress into the buildings where Elons people are and see what they’re doing. Dare them to stop you. Do something

Last night Fmr. Hillsborough County GOP Treasurer Patrick Bailey [R-FL] was arrested for embezzling $14.4k from his organization. Of course, if you support a party with no principles or integrity, stealing from them comes naturally.

While teaching S.S. today a child drew a swastika. While I didn’t bring attention to who did it. I did confront the class on what the symbol means. The child came up after class and tried to explain that he didn’t mean that, then again he drew Trump 2024 before the swastika. Crocodile Tears.

I got locked out of the app when I upgraded my phone about a week ago. (Server-side issue with recognizing my password and username.) Now that I’m back in, I’m working through a backlog of many new followers. I will vet and follow back as quickly as time allows. Thanks for all the follows, y’all.

Thanks to the left, you can work a 40-hour week, take a weekend off, and still have time to marry whoever you love.

He wasn't an assassin, folks. I heard someone say he's a folk hero. Someone else said a hero needs a name, and a commenter suggested "The Adjuster." #guillotines

Our values define who we are, how we act, what decisions we make as a people. Perhaps it’s time to remember what values define us. So glad @thebulwark.bsky.social published the article I wrote on this subject today, on a day we give thanks. Enjoy & provide your thoughts.

I say this deeply from my soul to every Republican salivating to take away our rights to marry and love whoever we want: Fuck. You.

My take on Biden pardon hypocrites. Let's say you and a school bully got detention. The school bully let it be known he/she was going to kick your ass badly in after detention. The teacher who runs detention found out and excused you from detention. Are you saying you would be mad at the teacher?

I hate to say this, but all the talk about whether Trump has a “mandate” or not is irrelevant. What will happen over the next few years will be decided by raw political power. If he maintains that, he will do what we wants, mandate or not. Stop referring back to past norms.

Rabies virus is the most lethal virus. Neuroinvasive rabies is a death sentence. I cannot stress this enough: if you have any physical contact with a bat—especially a bite—get treatment immediately. If it gets into your central nervous system, you will die horribly. www.sfgate.com/bayarea/arti...

As an ER doc: AGREE. We have protocols for this. That’s why we’re here! (Yes, it’s a lot of shots….but it’s a lot better than rabies.)

If it still seems absolutely insane to you that trump, an adjudicated rapist and convicted felon who tried to overturn the result of the previous election, is going back to the White House, that's a good sign. It means your brain is still working, and you haven't normalized it. IT IS NOT NORMAL.

So a reminder: It’s not ‘liberals’ saying Hegseth abuses women. It’s his mom. It’s not ‘liberals’ comparing Trump to Hitler. It’s his vice-president. It’s not ‘liberals’ calling Musk a liar and a racist. It’s his own child. For the record.

Alexander Vindman is a patriot. Elon Musk, himself an oligarch, is drunk on power and out of control.

There's always a good side in almost anything. For instance, we're having cold blackouts again because of Russians. It's the 3rd winter that they have tried to strip us of electricity and heating. But. It's just the time to unwrap the telescope and fly across the universe all night long.

Lantian "Jay" Graber, CEO of @bsky.app “Her mother grew up in China during the Cultural Revolution and emigrated in the 1980s, and named her "Lantian," meaning "blue sky" in Mandarin Chinese, as a wish for her to have "boundless freedom".” Purely coincidental. 🤯 en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jay_Gra...

Yes, we have a civic duty to resist tyranny. This is especially true for those of us who’ve sworn an oath to support and defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic. It’s an incontrovertible truth that Trump is a domestic enemy to our Constitution. www.cato.org/commentary/y...

I get the pushback to Bluesky in that it further bifurcates our media ecosystem. But at this point, Twitter’s content moderation is so nonexistent and its verified users so extreme that the choice becomes either move away from Twitter or be subjected to straight up 4chan nazi bile on a daily basis.

Just a reminder that Elon Musk has never had a single relative wear the uniform or bleed for this country. If he wants to threaten a veteran, he should try doing it to their face.

I already know in advance that a handful of people will complain about me posting a screenshot from The Emperor, but that is outweighed by the fact that I think people need to know about authoritarian threats. Sorry in advance to those who don’t want to know what’s happening.
