We are arms dealers to terrorists.

“That is why Trumpists are so focused on “ending DEI” in the federal workforce. They see anti-discrimination and inclusion as a ladder of upward mobility for people they do not believe should have one.”

The DoD really banned a book about a little girl learning to accept and love her freckles. Wtf is wrong with these people?

I’m telling you @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, please watch this. This is the energy. Not egg prices and book tours and strongly worded letters. It’s time to take the gloves off.

Side note. There are eight members of the joint chiefs. the chair is black. the CNO (navy) is a woman. the other six are white guys. chair and the cno got fired tonight.

in the trump administration, “merit” is pronounced “white” like how strom thrumond said it.

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court GRANTS sweeping nationwide injunction against Trump DEI executive orders finding that they violate First and Fifth Amendments to the Constitution. A huge victory for @democracyforward.org and its clients. A stinging loss for Trump. Visit www.democracydocket.com for details.

Donald Trump is ending the national database of police misconduct

Thanks Braun you fucking turd.

#19/2025 Recently pardoned Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio was arrested for assaulting a woman outside of the US Capitol after police observed him strike her arm and phone. Tarrio should still be locked behind bars for another 20 years, but Trump freed him on his first day in office.

We aren’t all farmers…

As @sarahkendzior.bsky.social has been saying for years and in her books, they want to strip our country down and sell it for parts. They're looting everything, including our data and public lands to sell to the highest bidder. Every Member of Congress should have seen this coming.

Sheri S Tepper has an antidote to these types of aggressive, tribalistic, violent, competitive, men in The Gate to Women’s Country. #BookSky 📚💙

House members are back home this week and I've never see anything like the footage coming out of these in-district town halls. From Milton NY Dems, a constituent of Rep. Paul Tonko talks about the need for John Lewis-style leadership and civil disobedience and gets a standing ovation.

Carville: The key issue is that in this century under Democratic President 50 million jobs have been created. One million jobs under Republicans

Not the trigon. 😅

You can tell the politicians who wouldn't be elected if the Democratic machine didn't exist. The ones who exist outside the machine, AOC and others, who canvassed for themselves, held community meetings, did real grassroots stuff...they're not standing there saying "we have limited tools."

In 2022, russians killed the mayor of Motyzhyn village, Olha Sukhenko, her husband and son. Before being kidnapped, she was evacuating village residents, delivering food and medicine. Their bodies were found in a mass grave after the liberation of the Kyiv region. russian occupation is not peace.

Sara Nelson is a beast. Union women ain’t putting up with NOTHIN.

Yeah because the same pathetic, angry incels that hang out on 4chan now hang out in the White House.

Last night, Trump promised he wouldn't touch Medicaid. This morning, Trump endorsed the House Republican plan to slash Medicaid. It's smoke and mirrors: Trump and Republicans are plotting to take away health care from millions of people to pay for tax breaks for billionaires.

"Tyranny requires your fear and your silence and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage." -- @govpritzker.illinois.gov

it’s so cool that we are at the whims of this reactionary force of groypers that don’t understand anything, lead by the dumbest guy ever seen in history

Trump has directed the federal government to use conditions of confinement as additional punishment — which is unconstitutional.

The party of free speech!

Elon Musk fired a disabled Veteran with 3 tours of duty from his job serving other Veterans at the VA. Elon’s companies get billions from defense contracts. He’s happy to profit off our servicemembers - but when he can no longer make money off them, he kicks them to the curb.

Why would we abandon the prosperous, democratic nations of Europe, our allies for one hundred years, to "partner" with weak, poor Russia, a longtime adversary and dictatorship currently in the middle of an unprovoked invasion of a neighboring state? Treason. It's treason

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.
