Thanks to @meidastouch.bsky.social for sharing stories of the resistance on both sides of the border. #elbowsup

EXACTLY.

Shout out to Berine, to AOC, to Corey Booker, to Jamie Raskin, to Chris Van Hollen, to Jasmie Crockett, to Chris Murphy and a few others... When you show you are willing to fight for us, we will rally behind you! Keep it up! This moment calls for fighters, not career "politicians" #FORTHEPEOPLE

"If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you." - President Lyndon B. Johnson

Trump and Musk are eliminating 90% of Social Security’s regional staff—and, at the same time, will now only post public updates from Social Security on a platform owned by Musk, where more than 90% of seniors won’t see them. Corrupt, cruel, and wrong.

pro tip: if your government claims to have no money for children's heathcare but will eagerly waste millions on a gaudy military parade to stroke the fragile ego of a broken-inside president, you just might live in a shithole country

Gotta correct the media again on something. The administration is not sending migrants to a mega prison in El Salvador. They’re sending human beings to a concentration camp.

I don't understand how any member of Congress can look at today and still believe they'd get some terrible backlash and lack of support from introducing an impeachment resolution, or even saying the word. Stop worrying about the nattering pundits who speak for nobody but themselves. Just do it.

Very

Very happy that Congress voted to allow proxy vote for themselves. That's a good thing. What makes me FURIOUS is that Republicans broke rank to benefit themselves, but they won't break rank for the good of the country.

France’s institutions defended its democracy, upholding the law. South Korea’s institutions defended its democracy, upholding the law. Brazil’s institutions defended its democracy, upholding the law. Only America’s decided a criminal must be allowed to break its laws and destroy its democracy.

thinking of one of abraham lincoln's great quotes this morning: "As I would not be a slave, so I would not be a master. This expresses my idea of democracy. Whatever differs from this, to the extent of the difference, is no democracy."

There are RULES for gov’t documents—who has them, sees them, keeps them, where they’re kept—because they’re a record of gov’t business. Not open to all—but containing the doings & ACCOUNTABILITY of what our gov’t does. The Nat’l Archives stores much of that vital data. DJT fired the archivist.

I'm really really sick of the orange turd's clown show!

🔑 under-discussed point — why they were on signal:

In case you’ve forgotten how we used to treat this sort of thing… There would be bipartisan calls for investigations Impeachment would be a foregone conclusion Several people would’ve resigned or been fired by end of day Back when responsible adults were in charge, not this insane clown posse

Yes! 💙✊💙✌️💙

these are our party leaders now, ignore all other opinions

This, precisely, is what I think Dem voters want from their representatives: direct confrontation with people who are used to bullying others both as a matter of substance and style. You don't have to back down to these fucking clowns.

More of this!

It’s borderline criminal.

AOC is probably the most famous Dem in the country and has had a target on her back since Day 1 and she's out there every day bringing the fire. Fuck off if you don't actually want to defend the country and just want to suck up my tax dollars in a cushy job.

Educating my youngest about America's first revolution against a king. I highly recommend everyone revisit Hamilton. We need disruption! Civility doesn't cut it. #Hamilton #revolution #nokings

The FAA approved another launch before the last crash investigation was completed — and it ended in another disaster. Why is SpaceX getting a free pass from DOGE cuts? 🤔

Jasmine Crockett being clear about being clear. That's what she said!! #UnitedWeStand #ForThePeople Thank you @jasmineforus.bsky.social

French Senator Claude Malhuret: "Washington has become Nero’s court, with an incendiary emperor, submissive courtiers and a jester high on ketamine. (...) We were at war with a dictator, we are now at war with a dictator backed by a traitor" #3E #EndOligarchy

Yep, it’s hard to disagree with this.

Well... the State of the DisUnion will begin, shortly. I'm gonna be in attendance 😳😏. DO NOT WATCH!

It’s Women’s History Month so I’ll just leave this here. 🥰

nailed it 🇺🇦 🇺🇸 😂🫣 Sad but true

Ski your National Forests— Not you, J.D., you can go ski in Russia. Sugarbush Resort in Vermont operates under a Special Use Permit from the Green Mountain National Forest.

Ending the night with this. *Get your hankies* A D-Day veteran called a gracious and humbled Zelenskyy a hero.
