Stand up for your rights #Mainers! Start getting your signs ready for April 5. #NoKings #HandsOffOurDemocracy

Proud of #Maine protesters and supporters this weekend. Speak up, speak out...before it is too late. #Resist #SaveOurDemocracy

There’s a major shift in U.S. cybersecurity policy. A recent CISA memo removed Russia from its list of priorities, focusing instead on China and local systems. Analysts were told not to track Russian cyber threats.

Only 53 Americans -- Republican Senators -- stand between democracy and its end. Will they enforce the separation of powers as outlined in the Constitution they pledged to uphold, and reclaim Congressional authority? Will they be brave, or cave? #Republicans #ConstitutionalCrisis #SaveDemocracy

Unconscionable

This...🤬🤬🤬🤬

There is a vote-a-rama going in tonight in Congress as Republicans try to shove through an agenda that will harm many average Americans. As the country burns. apnews.com/article/sena...

It’s Trump’s second term and he still doesn’t know the difference between Medicare and Medicaid.

Remember: The oligarchs who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us so they can become more powerful. They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see where all the wealth and power have gone. Don't fall for it.

While they are still available online, read and share America's Founding Documents, the principles which have guided this country for almost 250 years. Many of our ancestors fought and died for these freedoms. Now it's our turn to right the ship. www.archives.gov/founding-docs

Folks: I am NOT affiliated with the group that is using my name to support an economic boycott. Please spread this post, if you would.

As long as the spineless Republicans dominate the Congress, you won't be able to stop bills like this from passing, and our electoral rights will be gone. Donate to the DCCC to flip the House in 3 upcoming races: secure.actblue.com/donate/dccc-...

So, so disappointed in #PBSNews Hour tonight....treating Trump's actions as legitimate efforts and referring to Musk as Prime Minister. Considering giving up PBS support. Knife to the heart

Amidst all the chaos, the Friday sun is shining.

Don't react to the onslaught of 💩 meant to destabilize America. ACT instead. Bookmark and email your federal senators and reps weekly on the issues that worry you. www.congress.gov/members

Speaking of healthcare. Let's make @bsky.app the platform that fights misinformation. Some great follows are @drsusanoliver.bsky.social @jsm2334.bsky.social @therealtruther.bsky.social Let's get them more followers and engagement than other platforms and let health science accounts find a home

While many of us are reeling from the news of the last week, resist the urge to put your head in the sand. Take hope in the judges, state leaders, members of congress, religious leaders and others who are pushing back to preserve our freedoms and constitutional law. Read below and start now:

Know the top contributors who propelled this idiot back into power

When things seem overwhelming, look up at night.

Four corporations control 70% of retail grocery sales in America. Kudos to the judge who protected us.

Reporting a blue sky from Maine today! #BlueSkyFriday #HappyFriday
