Dear @schumer.senate.gov, So help me God, You f'ing better have your people IN UNISON in voting, "NO" on this preposterous SAVE Act. The 4 House members who went, "yes", are no better than the vermin in the GOP, therefore just cut their futures way short. Get it together Chuck. No more betrayals.

I think the MAGA response to the trade war reinforces my belief that they believe the system is irreparably rigged against them. It causes them harm, and if there is harm in furtherance of destroying it, they will bare it. This mentality means the Democrats need to get off the middle and embrace

Federalist 47 (Madison): "The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands, whether of one, a few, or many, and whether hereditary, selfappointed, or elective, may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny."

Bernie Sanders blasted CNN & corporate media for ignoring crucial issues like healthcare & wealth inequality. He called out Congress for failing the working class and forced Anderson Cooper to confront the truth. “We need to talk about this!” Bernie is DONE letting the elites control the narrative.

NEW: Climate experts expressed shock at the Trump administration's plan to stop collecting American polluters’ greenhouse gas emissions. “Not tracking the data doesn’t make the climate crisis any less real,” one said. “This is just putting our heads in the sand.” By @fastlerner.bsky.social

One of the greatest ongoing scandals of today is that our elected officials — Democrats included — continue to refuse to ban members of Congress and their families from trading stocks.

Ambassador Spock modeling the proper “fuck you, make me” response to intimidation tactics. Our current-day institutions could learn a lot from him.

You tell 'em, AOC!

when they go low, we go Jasmine Crockett @repjasmine.bsky.social 🔥

80th day of Trump's bribery scheme operating out in the open.

If you're in congress and you aren't publicly in favor of banning the trading of individual stocks by people in congress, get your head out of your fucking ass.

After massive public backlash, the Social Security Administration is rolling back its disastrous cuts to phone services. This is a huge victory for the public against DOGE's rampage. Keep up the fight.

5calls.org. light up their phones #resist

You know how you're so horrified something terrible happened? And you later realize it was true?

Please everyone post or repost. #Signalgate. This was a national security scare and charges need to be brought up. Pete is drunk and out of control and so delusional he wears child size suits.

We found the voter fraud!!!!!

🚨 The President of the United States is “floating” the idea of deporting American citizens to a prison in El Salvador. No good American should tolerate it. Not now. Not ever. Speak up. Fuck that guy. #Democracy #Constitution #ThisIsNotNormal

Remember the tariffs he keeps rocking our economy with are supposed to be in place to offset his massive tax cuts. He's not supposed to take them off. Every time he pauses them, he loses the offset for his tax cuts. That nosedive is what's supposed to be happening. Call your reps. #resist #felon

April 19th is the next Hands off rally. We need ten times as many people.

They want to re-litigate the Civil War, but unfortunately the Union now has the Anti-Lincoln.

Come. On. The NYT assures us that these dudes training for the End Times in camo and AR-15s are not a "right-wing militia." It took me two minutes to find the owner/teacher giving an anti-immigrant interview on Rumble (citing Tucker Carlson and wild conspiracies) www.youtube.com/watch?v=NQ5_...

The IRS agreed to share legally protected taxpayer information with DHS and ICE. Federal law clearly protects taxpayer privacy. This agreement is illegal. This is an assault on every single taxpayer's rights and will destroy lives.

Always on point. youtu.be/4ixalL7EcFs?...

House GOP leadership is trying to change House rules to, and I’m not making this up, make it so days don’t count as days in order to prevent a vote on stopping Trump’s tariffs. They know there’d be enough votes to stop these tariffs, so Mike Johnson and his team are trying to prevent a vote.

160 years ago today, Robert E. Lee surrendered to Union forces in Richmond Virginia. A key reason the Confederates lost: its leaders didn't know how to run a functional economy. Crippled by hyperinflation, trade deficits, & inability to industrialize, the Confederacy tore itself to shreds.
