Omg ENOUGH! @sanders.senate.gov this you? We need some regulations and rules on this crap. It looks like this is from @actblueorg.bsky.social but I don’t really know. It’s too risky. We want to support but all of this is too risky and annoying.

This is good journalism. No twists or spin on the headline. Just putting out there for what it was.

@petebuttigieg.bsky.social this you? The link sent was questionable. Please work to stop these spam texts from questionable senders. It’s too much. Way too much. People are scamming off of your image & others #politics #spam #texts #fundraising #democrats

20,000 in ruby red Utah on their feet, in community, and ready to organize for a better world. A better world is possible.

Turns out the “deep state” the MAGA folks were talking about wasn’t people at all. It was the unwritten understanding and respect for the principles our republic was founded on and the respect for the offices of government and the social contract to hold ideals over selfish gain. #deepstate

Are you a woman who changed your name when you got married? Congress is considering a bill that could make it much harder for you to vote. Call your rep—this is not a drill. indivisible.org/resource/cal...

@democrats.org You must STOP THIS. There is no way in Hell I’m tapping that link. And @rbreich.bsky.social you too. Politicians and politically aligned celebs need to come up with a way to prevent their names from Being used as click bait scams. #scam #clickbait #politics

Trade deficit. I have bought food from say, Chilis. They have never bought food from me. There is a trade deficit with Chilis. I’m still doing fine. The trade deficit argument SOUNDS compelling, but it’s a straw man with no relevancy

Did anyone see any police presence at any hands off rally yesterday? There were none in Ferndale MI and I just read a comment on NYC that said they saw no police either which strikes me as odd. Not sure if that’s odd good or odd ominous. #handsoff #protests

@democracydocket.com @democrats.org @slotkin.senate.gov @peters.senate.gov You should introduce a bill taxing/tarrif-ing outsourced service jobs. These are real jobs Americans could do TOMORROW from home if they weren’t outsourced. Banking, tech support, CRM. Hit them back.

🔥 OBAMA: “IMAGINE IF I HAD DONE ANY OF THIS… I say this not on a partisan basis. This has to do with something more precious — who are we as a country, and what values do we stand for?” 🇺🇸

THIS IS TERRIFYING‼️ Dr. Peter Marks, former head of vaccines at the FDA, just had his last day—forced to resign or be fired because he wouldn’t lie about vaccines. He gives a chilling warning: the U.S. is unprepared for biowarfare—because the response team has been gutted.

@michigandems.bsky.social @democrats.org - PLEASE. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD… issue a clear list of what orgs are safe to donate to. Every day I get 10+ texts from someone claiming to be a Dem with a link to donate. That is SHADY AF. Make this better. Do it right. #politics #fundraising #scam

The goal is collapse and control. #trumpeconomy They are following all of the things that collapsed governments or destroyed economies in the past. We don’t see it because it is so awful. But awful is the point. Destruction is the plan.

Hey folks! If you're in Florida and Wisconsin today, GET OUT AND VOTE!

Nicely done by @sambdesk.bsky.social:

Completely overjoyed with @amberruffin.bsky.social ‘s reaponse to the Mara-Lago women pics tonight on #haveigotnewsforyou on @cnn.com I share her joy.

It's simple. Everyone in the US enjoys the protections of the Constitution - even visitors. So if someone commits a crime here, you give them due process here. You charge them here, try them here, and sentence them here. You don't deport them to an offshore torture prison.

Shit. What?

If it wasn’t clear before, we have a real problem in this country with a lot of people believing not all humans are created equal, it’s good to do harm to others, and that the best thing for society is for everyone to look, act, and believe the same way about everything.

Hey guys in Detroit… help everyone fight price gouging. Share the price of groceries where you shop so we can support businesses who keep prices fair and not support those taking advantage.

This guy is in one of the worst prisons in the world with no way out and may spend the rest of his life there because, it appears, he has an autism awareness tattoo in honor of his little brother. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

I don’t understand this “failing school” line. WE SHOULD NOT HAVE “FAILING” schools. What does that do for parents and kids who CANNOT MOVE!? Sorry … you must attend a school where you WILL fail because we aren’t going to help THAT school not fail its kids. #education #failing #unequal

I cannot believe that SavOn Foods in Detroit (closest grocery store to us) is selling Kraft Mac N Cheese for $2.69 a box. What? #groceries #inflation #eggflation #detroit. It is a shame that city grocery stores are all much more $$$ than in the suburbs.

BREAKING: 34,000 people have showed up in Denver, Colorado this evening to see Bernie Sanders and AOC fight oligarchy and authoritarianism.

Taking a literal sh*t on the Dias in our capitol building is fine but throwing an egg at an electric car gets you 10 years of torture in a foreign gulag??? What the actual fuck???

Jawdropping. You would expect this in a dictatorship, not the United States. This country is unrecognizable.

Been tracking some grocery prices. Kroger really seems best these days. But I’m surprised how the cost of beer varies so much from place to place. Really thought that was steady.

So disappointed in Senator Gary Peters. He definitely let Michigan down yesterday- I guess he doesn’t care since he’s leaving. @mallorymcmorrow.bsky.social I hope you’d do better (if you run, please run)

Yup

Listening to @cnn.com this morning and felt @secupp1.bsky.social summed up the @democrats.org problem well… we need a plan. It’s been weeks of this raging dumpster fire… where is OUR 2025? Where is OUR Plan for America? Put our differences “down on paper” ASAP AND GET MOVING. #democrats #politics

More of this!

It doesn’t matter if someone is a citizen or not… for 249 years you could not be arrested in the United States for your political views, having them, shouting them, rallying around them. Until today. #mahmoudkhalil #trumpsamerica

Omg. I was all for Ontario Premier Ford shutting off power to the US but then Trump said there would be “grave consequences…” HOLY SHIT HE’S LOOKING FOR AN EXCUSE HE CAN PROPAGATE INTO INVADING CANADA. FUCK. And these Republican psychopaths will go along with it. #canada #trade
