You are not powerless, and he is not unstoppable. Look at, and learn from, the funding freeze and how quickly he was forced to surrender.

Yes, Trump’s economy wrecked my business. But at least I don’t have to celebrate Black History Month anymore.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

Who here is inclined to agree?

And just like that, they no longer care how much your groceries cost.

Hey MAGA, You now have the WH, the House, the Senate, and SCOTUS… That means YOUR party is responsible for every problem in America now. If gas isn’t $1.50. If eggs aren’t $1 a carton. If inflation doesn’t plummet… We’ll be waiting to remind you that you were conned a SECOND time. -All of us.

How many of these do we have?

Most of our problems could be solved by properly funding public education.

"Pedestrianization will also continue apace, with the city committing to creating a car-free core for the heart of every arrondissement. The proposals are likely to be voted through in a council where parties in Mayor Hidalgo’s coalition form a majority." www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Anyone who spends $60 on one of his Bibles while claiming they can’t afford milk and eggs needs a fucking reality check.

Americans live in a hot stove society. Too many people have to live through the actual disaster before they'll believe it's possible. That's why every decade or so, we elect Republicans and they proceed to nearly destroy the country and enough people find out the stove is indeed hot.

This week is going to be A LOT for those of us who've been along for the ride. Here is Roger Federer, a fan of Rafael Nadal

You really can’t make this stuff up. Numbers don’t lie.

Abbott Elementary is such a feel good show. I actually laugh and enjoy it.

While Morning Joe is back to cozying up to Donald Trump, @meidastouch.bsky.social will never do so. At times like these, we need to support folks like MeidasTouch who are the future of journalism. www.meidasplus.com/p/goodbye-mo...

😭😭😭

I’m curious which Democratic strategists will continue to go on Morning Joe after their pathetic betrayal.

Conservative NIMBYs when they realize the truth about fiscally responsible city planning.

Y’all, we are so back. 💙🦋 #bluesky

and the reason this is important is that politics have not stopped happening. trump is set to squander whatever goodwill he has with the voting public and this is an opportunity

The media is the problem. They’ll never hold right wing politicians to account, because the majority are owned by right wing billionaires, & said billionaires don’t want to share the wealth. The bias, propaganda & hypocrisy is off the charts. The media needs to be held to account for their mess.

Good morning! It’s a beautiful day to say yes to more housing in NYC. RPA is joining housing advocates at City Hall Park at 10am today to say YES to #CityOfYes for Housing Opportunity. We hope to see you there!

Oddly, you never hear Fox News viewers criticized or even questioned for inhabiting a hermetically sealed bubble. It’s almost as if this entire canard is about the right’s ability to infect, infest, and dominate us.

Sometimes the DMs just hit it

Nine out of ten Amazon addictions can prob be traced back to the Scholastic Book Fair.

Do. Not. Obey. In. Advance.

When does trump get sick of this?

This is the rallying call that I've needed to hear since November 6th. From Roxane Gay in today's New York Times www.nytimes.com/2024/11/17/o...

How many times does the leapord have to eat your face before you stop voting for the leopard?

They are counting on you to feel helpless, exhausted, scared, alone, too old or young. We have people worldwide who even at 90 years old went out and resisted. In Ukraine the grandmothers grabbed rifles, the children flew drones. You can hold a sign, organize, we know it’s scary but don’t give up.

Having watched politics unfold on social media for a decade now, I can tell you one of the failures of the left has been relying on a handful of influencers(for lack of a better term) with a million followers instead of building an army of 100k of us to to do the heavy lifting.

An absolute no brainer for DNC chair is @benwikler.bsky.social . Thanks to what Ben built at WisDems, when the country swung ~6 points to the right this cycle, Wisconsin only swung 1.5 points to the right, while actually *adding* seats in the state legislature and holding onto Tammy Baldwin's seat.

Let us pray 🙏

For a guy that supposedly knew nothing about Project 2025, he sure is putting a metric shit ton of them in his administration.

If we didn’t believe the US was worth saving we’d simply move on and ignore you. Believe in the you that we believe you can be, not the you they are telling you to be. Being brave doesn’t mean not being afraid, it means standing up to evil and injustice even when you are afraid.

So, where are the Blacks for Trump? A cabinet should represent and reflect its people. This collection resembles an exclusive country club.

👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

By far the most liked post in my 16 years on Twitter.. Something tells me BlueSky will enjoy it too..

I’ve seen enough to make a call: Bluesky is going to be a legit competitor to Twitter. Sweet.

President Biden tried to raise the overtime threshold, which is the point where salaried workers are entitled to earn overtime pay. It would have helped millions. A Trump appointed judge in Texas just blocked it. Please tell me you see which party is actually fighting for the average worker.

Democrats keep being punished for not cheating
