Taos, NM #handsoff Over 1000 people!

Not. A. Drag. Queen. Nor Transgender.

I spoke with @jaketapper.bsky.social about the need to ban stock trading in Congress. We weren’t elected to play the market using inside information—we’re here to serve. Time to pass a ban and begin rebuilding trust.

From buying BC, to choosing not to vacation in the US, British Columbians have been keeping their dollars in our communities. The pressure is working, and we cannot let up while these unjustified tariffs still threaten jobs.

🚨 Corporate interests are protected at the cost of America lives. 📌The FDA withholds the names of growers and processors linked to outbreaks, denying consumers critical information needed to make safe choices. Democracy is gone—Rise up, speak up, it’s time to act! www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

FYI

This MP Sean Fraser is exactly right! We sure don’t need this right wing populism here in Canada! Take a look at what’s going on south of the border! Stay strong Canada 🇨🇦 and united behind Mark Carney! Please vote like your lives depend upon it! #MarkCarney4PM #NeverPierrePoilievre #USDemocracy

BECAUSE THE FUCKING KKKOPS ARE THE FUCKING KLU KLUX KLAN! Which part don't you understand? Or are you trying NOT to understand!

THANKS. TO. GOP. FAMILY. VALUES. ✨

#GVerse #MustListen: 😂😂 Listen to the joke going around the Whitehouse this week! 😂😂

🚨A U.S. born citizen was arrested in Florida for entering the state as an “unauthorized alien.” His mother and a community advocate showed his birth certificate during a hearing in Leon County. The judge said she had no authority to release him.

Fun fact: SCOTUS declared in 1898 in Chae Chan Ping v US that it does *not* have jurisdiction over citizenship. That citizenship and immigration were the sole jurisdiction ("plenary power") of the executive branch. They said "none of our business" 127 years ago en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chae_Ch...

[email protected] on Sen. Murkowski: "The political environment is so fraught that you as a U.S. senator are scared to speak out...Why are you supporting the people that are creating that environment?"

Trump’s ICE Director was confronted by a 90-year-old Holocaust survivor. 👏👏👏

Today is a grim date – the 50th anniversary of the Khmer Rouge's entry into Phnom Penh. During the nearly four years of their rule, about 2 million people were killed in Cambodia (their remains were found in 20,000 mass graves).

We are sending people to the Salvadoran gulag for nothing at all. documentedny.com/2025/04/14/i...

Judging on my YouTube ads, the two most important infomercials [both American, but shown in Ireland] are how your chopping board is going to kill you, & how drinking hot/cold/tepid water will cure Alzheimer’s/Cancer/Astrology/Hammer Toe* etc. Thank you America for your kind advice!

And this is why I'm running all over Bluesky today asking Alaskans to call Lisa Murkowski, THANK HER for acknowledging her fear & theirs, & for her commitment to keep using her voice, and then call on her to MAKE HISTORY BY DOING MORE (phone numbers & sample script: bsky.app/profile/emil...)

Rep. Greg Murphy on CNN decries "paid protesters" at GOP town halls, prompting Kate Bolduan to point out there's no evidence of that

NEW: i spoke with several young AmeriCorps volunteers around the country who were abruptly pulled off projects building homes, readying forests for wildfire season, and working at food banks Tuesday afternoon. they are now on their way home thanks to DOGE cuts —

As we already knew, RFK Jr. believes that being on the autism spectrum (neurodivergent) is a bad thing and they don't contribute to society (🙄). I don't know about you, but I know many people who lead production, athletic, enriching lives. #ProudBlue

The Trump admin revoked a PhD student's visa & said he has 15 days to leave the US—because he has 2 speeding tickets. This isn’t about crime. It’s political theater disguised as patriotism. What an ugly form of virtue signaling from the people who claim to hate it. kslnewsradio.com/utah/visa-re...

Here's how to watch the dazzling Lyrid meteor shower. Its not particularly 'dazzling.' 🔭 🧪 www.bbc.co.uk/news/videos/...

🇨🇳🇨🇦 China turns to Canada for oil. Chinese refiners have cut U.S. oil imports by 90% and are now buying record amounts of Canadian crude, - Bloomberg

NEW: China is switching from American to Canadian oil. Chinese purchases of American oil are down **90%** year on year. Purchases of oil from Canada are up +700%. That equates to a $20 BILLION annual loss for the United States, at current oil prices. Tired of winning yet?

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

It's pretty unconscionable that when Pam Bondi was asked to show proof against Kilmar Abrego Garcia, she said they have court transcripts. The Attorney General of the United States thinks that their allegations in court are EVIDENCE?! Vile.

✅ DEI Employer of the Day "At Chobani, we champion diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging in every part of the company. Since day one, diversity and inclusion have been a foundational part of our ethos, our policies, and our guiding voice. And will continue to be as we move on the path forward"

I put a hold on Ed Martin’s nomination. He’s denied elections. Fired quality public servants. Attempted to chill free speech. Turns out he’s also carrying water for the Kremlin. So wholly unfit to be a U.S. Attorney.

I hit the mean streets of the Upper East Side with @dreamfornyc.bsky.social to see how voters in Cuomo Country really feel about Trump, Musk, harassing women (allegedly), and how many politicians it takes to fail New York's public schools.

If you're a 70-something-year-old man and you're constantly talking about how well you did on a cognitive test, you might not be very cognitively aware.

Glad House Dems are demanding a full briefing—because immigration agents showed up at L.A. elementary schools, and DHS lied about it. Watch the video. Hear the truth from L.A.’s superintendent. Then ask why the hell Homeland Security is targeting kids. Don’t let this go!!!

If only they were jailing and deporting people like this instead of the innocent people they are doing that to now.

not that it should have to be like this for people to care, but everyone should understand that anti-trans bigotry is a threat to cisgender people as well as to trans people.

#IGotSidetrackedBy Idiocy

Since 1960, the United States Population has DOUBLED. This is why Government Spending has increased, and an “Autism Diagnosis” has been “defined.” RFK, Jr ignores FACTS and numbers.

Please repeat over and over: “Bending to the whims of a bully will not end his cruelty. It will only embolden him. The response to authoritarianism isn’t acquiescence. Bullies respond to one thing, and one thing only: a punch in the face.” —Gov. JB Pritzker

This is really interesting and shows how Mark Carney is extremely capable of handling the economy, foreign relations and Trump! Mark is an exceptional choice for our Prime Minister. Please everyone make sure to vote by April 28th. 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦 #MarkCarney4PM #NeverPierrePoilievre #USDemocracy

I'm a combat vet & I own a gun but military style weapons high capacity mags should never be sold to civilians,,When 2A was inactive we had no National guard. It was basically our National guard, Creating national guard makes 2A obsolete, Ban military style weapons Protect our children not guns,

Is this how people who stay away from politics think?
