If you are not #MAGA you know your history. You know they're going to lose. Don't let fear in or win. #resist

Senator Ted Cruz posted a dramatic video of LAPD cars on fire with the caption “this… is… not… peaceful.” What he didn’t mention? The footage was from 2020, not 2025. His post on X falsely implied it was current, part of a broader effort to spread lies and manufacture a crisis.

Hi folks. I know things are tough for everyone right now so I hate to ask. I recently had surgery to get a tumor taken out - common procedure but it left me with pain that’s grounded me for the time being. With BTS work still incredibly scarce, I’ve just barely, barely gotten by. (1/3)

Re-read. Thanks local library!

Library of Congress staff just showed what resistance looks like. After Trump abruptly fired Dr. Carla Hayden, the respected Librarian of Congress, he tried to install Todd Blanche, his former personal lawyer and current Deputy Attorney General, as acting librarian. Staff weren’t having it.

Noem has truly sold her soul. Elsewhere on our burning planet, because he wants stronger water pressure and doesn't like to look orange under LED lights Trump is canceling the #EnergyStar program or at least he is attempting to. Will the Democrats do anything?

This week’s main story is about the budget and staffing cuts being made to public health agencies in the U.S. under RFK Jr.’s leadership, how those cuts will impact all of us, and some foolproof ideas for what scientists can do in the absence of totally superfluous stuff like, y’know, centrifuges.

Really great to see someone say what needs to be said over and over: lots of those executive orders are bullshit grabs for powers the president doesn't have--unless we give it to him, and that starts through misinformation.

Over 170 presidents of colleges and universities signed a letter basically telling #Trump to go fly a kite. This is excellent. Now is an opportunity for institutions of higher ed to show how much they are worth to Americans & for reinvestment in the belief that education should be accessible to all

So students have to pay back debt accrued trying to get an education but corporations never have to pay off their debt as they profit off of the working class? Go #MAGA!

When @laurenferebee.bsky.social penned this it was meant to be dystopian ... but this is a scray & moving ep of the excellent @femmefutureperfect.bsky.social pod. And I am proud my kiddo was a part of it. 9 min. Listen. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/f...

And still most Trump voters are glad they voted for him.

Wow. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/17/u...

Brookings Inst: "...undocumented immigrants provide a... boost to Social Security...contributing...more in... taxes than they receive in benefits....estimated to $25 billion to Social Security coffers in 2022..." As Billie Eilish might say, "duh" www.brookings.edu/about-us/

Fear is the only tool TrumpMusk has. Don't give in.

Abrego Garcia's wife: "I will not stop fighting until I see my husband alive. Kilmar, if you can hear me, stay strong. God hasn't forgotten about you. Our children are asking when you will come home ... they miss their dad so much."

Hi. Breathe.

We have received many questions about Trump potentially invoking the Insurrection Act, which gives the president broad power to deploy the military within our country. Lawmakers, organizers and everyday Americans should be ready to respond quickly and effectively if Trump takes this dangerous step.

Yes, it’s a bit hard to see now, but allowing the president to become a king who can kidnap citizens while also demolishing the global financial system is a small price to pay for getting to keeping 23 trans women from playing college sports.

The Egyptian pro-democracy activist Wael Ghonim said, "The power of the people is greater than the people in power." This is a checklist of things you can do, probably should do, resources, ideas, ways to move forward. “I just don’t know what to do!!” shouldn’t be something you say now. Here:

The message is: crowd large. Many politicians, administrators, and business leaders, in bowing to Trump, have drawn confidence and comfort from the perceived vibe shift. Events like this puncture that delusion.

#HandsOff #TrustInEducation I hope news outlets cover all of these

Absolutely proud of you all! HUG! So far, 3.1 million protesters counted today — that’s nearly 1% of the U.S. population! Photos are flooding social media everywhere. Still waiting on more numbers to come in.

TODAY: It’s time to take to the streets nationwide to let Trump and Musk know they can’t intimidate us into submission. Nearly 600,000 people are signed up to attend 1,400 events in every state and seven countries. Find out what’s happening near you and join us: handsoff2025.com?SQF_SOURCE=i...

It's working! Keep it up! Congratulations! (Super-fun Muskito didn't realize that when you're in retail the customer is king.)

Exclusive: GOP Rep. Don Bacon plans to introduce a bill aimed at reclaiming Congress’ authority over tariffs. He's the first House Republican to openly challenge the powers Trump is using to launch a global trade war.

Trump is a thug. He says it's a great time to get rich. Yes for the billionaire class it is. How does he arrive at the percentage of tariffs he's demanding from countries he is shaking down? Who does it benefit when he states a 46% tariff For goods?

Are there 2 America's? Bluesky & X?

if you can't be motivated by Cory Booker's day-long speech, at least be motivated by the petty joy of crushing Ted Cruz' record.
