I absolutely agree with this! It’s so sad that millions don’t. #Pinks

Vote in Colorado Springs? NO on Karman Line Annexation drive.google.com/file/d/1jeLK...

WE ARE THE ONES its our turn 💔

The father of fake news

We will not win the battle for democracy if those in the pro-democracy movement prize caution over taking risks. We cannot permit ourselves to be deterred by the defeats and public criticism that are inevitable along the long path of restoring democracy. Now is the time for fearless leadership.

From our latest monthly meeting we learned about this youth activist training. Teaching young people to think critically and learn advocacy skills. docs.google.com/forms/d/18oN...

Murray to FDA Commissioner Makary: "I believe this administration is laying the groundwork to rip away access to medication abortion across the country. This has not gotten enough attention and I know you'd prefer to keep it that way."

All in the name of pure relentless unadulterated GREED.

A Friendly Reminder.

Another great day banding bird at Chico Basin with the Bird Conservancy of the Rockies in southern Colorado. The male Indigo Bunting was a highlight. Also pictured: least flycatcher, western wood-pewee and a feisty ash-throated flycatcher. #birds #indigobunting #coloradobirds #flycatchers

It’s not over yet.

Ansari: I sit on the Natural Resources Committee, where we witnessed the most anti-environment legislation go through. It includes massive giveaways to the oil and gas industry. I discovered that the chairman had purchased hundreds of thousands of dollars’ worth of oil and gas stocks.

That's Exactly What He Did And It Was All Illegal!!

In a truly callous move, the Trump administration's Justice Department announced it will abandon efforts to address police violence and close investigations into police departments linked to unconstitutional practices and killings of Black Americans.

As we approach #America250, its important to remember: it took 92 years to end slavery it took women 144 years to win the vote it took nearly 190 years for Black people to be guaranteed voting rights it took nearly 240 years to legalize same-sex marriage don't give up our ancestors didn't

🚨URGENT RESPONSE CALL🚨 23 lives were lost on KY overnight in an area where DOGE cuts to the @NWS resulted in the area no longer having 24/7 weather coverage. I don’t want to hear about “efficiency”. #CutsCostLives 📱 YOUR REPS 202-224-3121

🧵 A tiny baby. Not breathing. The desperate mom pulls into a shuttered ER. Nurses—off duty, protesting the closure—rush to save her child. THIS is the future the GOP is pushing: Medicaid gutted so millionaires have tax cuts. Closed hospitals. Dead children. And they do. not. care.

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what the 34x convicted felon & adjudicated rapist Trump did.

What the actual Fuck? #DoSomething #Trumpisacriminal#ImpeachTrump #lockhimup

The corruption is so out of control

This dude got exactly what he voted for—but listen all the way to the end. He makes good points. One thing I’ll add: Qatar was instrumental in funding Hamas. America is a ticking time bomb under Trump.

Trump lifts sanctions on Syria after offer of a Trump Tower in Damascus, praises MBS, salutes Saudi generals, and defends a Qatari jet gift—while banning press from Air Force One. GOP splits over drugs, jets, SALT, and Social Security. Catch up:

The truth is so important these days as the administration uses a tactic similar to Von Munchausen by proxy syndrome: Problem-Reaction-Solution Manuever where conflation and bullshit own the narrative! Thank you 🤜🏼🤛🏼

Watch: Michigan Speaker of the House Matt Hall is an absolute menace. Why won’t he commit to getting the educational budget to Gov. Whitmer by July 1? The state is not facing a deficit! Hall needs to stop hurling insults and start working for the citizens of Michigan. @maixiong.bsky.social

A really excellent outburst of late night righteous indignation from @timmiller.bsky.social, on Trump's "depraved" treatment of Afghan refugees fleeing the Taliban and Venezuelans who've fled communism, compared to their unctuous welcome of white Afrikaners. www.thebulwark.com/p/trumps-sic...

DONALD TRUMP IS THE MOST CORRUPT PRESIDENT in U.S. HISTORY. PERIOD. Never in the history of America have we experienced duplicity, bribery, crime, and abject greed of this magnitude. New from @deanobeidallah.bsky.social deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/trump-is-t...

Assimilation within whyte communities apparently is more important than actually saving people people from wars, starvation, sexual violence, gangs, religious persecution, disease, assisting the US in times of turmoil, homophobia, etc? I guess at least they are saying the quiet part out loud now.

Have you ever heard the Union cry, “Si se Puede!” A force to be reckoned with, UFW co-founder Dolores Huerta coined the phrase in 1972 during César Chávez's 25-day fast in Phoenix, AZ. The cry has spread & is still shouted by a diversity of Unions across America signaling her legacy! #MomSky

Newark’s Mayor Baraka (D-NJ) has been released from detention after being confronted by over 20 masked, armed individuals for trying to conduct oversight at an ICE detention center. The agents also put their hands on two members of Congress. Is this who we’ve become under Trump? #OnYourSide

some of y'all keep saying x, y, z cops need to be "prosecuted" but you don't take note of how juries REGULARLY acquit cops and how rarely cops are actually prosecuted. They just acquitted 3 cops who beat Tyre to death in Memphis. www.cnn.com/2025/05/07/u...
