Every citizen in the USA should be obliged to read or watch The Handmaid's Tale. Now. Oh. Damn it. It's already banned in parts of the USA. When a book becomes alive. Too quick. It seems it's already too late for a rising. But I do hope I am wrong. #TheHandMaidsTale #USA #Facism

Friggin scary ideologue. Women are nothing but vessels to this crazed lunatics. The Republicans love to “other” people to make them less than human so their demented policies will be “normalized”. To them, the only good person is a cis white man. #MomSky

Over on The Hellsite, JD Vance has now functionally called for an end to due process for migrants. His argument is riddled with deceptions, bad faith, and embarrassingly awful logic. I think it needs a real response, so here's what I put up over there. First, his 20 million number is fiction. 1/

Despite a court order, Donald Trump is still refusing to allow journalists from the Associated Press into the White House press pool. This is a direct assault on the First Amendment, free speech, and freedom of the press.

Tonight an unbelievable 34,000 people gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back. This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008. Also bigger than the 2024 DNC. And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

@aoc.bsky.social: "They're saying cut $880 billion from the Energy & Commerce Committee. I sit on that committee. Almost the entire budget that Energy & Commerce explores is Medicaid and Medicare. There is no way they can make their math square without enormous and devastating cuts to Medicaid."

Trump and Vance wanted Zelensky to thank them for an aid package that Vance voted against and Trump opposed.

Zelensky fact-checked JD Vance in real-time, and repeatedly interrupted Trump’s lies. At the end, Zelensky looked at the press pool and gave a thumbs up with a smile. Zelensky then went on Fox and refused to apologize. Good. Trump is the one who owes an apology—and his resignation—to the world.

“You’re terminated because…?” Fired federal employees are telling their stories—no deep state, just career public servants tossed aside. DOGE’s mass firings aren’t about efficiency—they’re gutting expertise, wrecking lives, and calling it “reform.”
