Soo....he wants to make sure that non-Christians treat Christians equitably, inclusively and without discrimination? And there should be a federal office to make sure that happens? OK. Got it. Ummm...

The cognitive dissonance of getting up every morning and making coffee and walking the dog and going to meetings and answering emails and wondering what to make for dinner while there is a real live actual coup d’etat happening is BONKERS

We are members of Congress at the Treasury Department. We want to be let in to provide oversight on behalf of our constituents. @jasmineforus.bsky.social @sethmagaziner.bsky.social

If Donald Trump Were the Captain of the Titanic: "Attention all crew members helping passengers get into life boats: Please, instead, join me in the First Class Lounge to celebrate all the liberals who are about to drown. It's going to be a beautiful thing. Tickets start at $10."

Disaster relief is governed by laws like the Stafford Act, which mandates aid based on need, not unrelated policies. Tying aid to voter ID laws could violate federal law, the Tenth Amendment, and Supreme Court rulings. Learn more: [FEMA: Stafford Act] (www.fema.gov/disaster/sta...). #FEMA #wildfires

In less than a week the United States has become an pariah to its allies. That's fun.

Wow. Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde fearlessly calls out Trump and Vance to their faces. This is heroic. (posting in 3 parts due to Bluesky's 1 minute limit)

A U.S. President can't rename geographical features, even with an exec. order. Exec. orders allow the President to manage fed. ops/direct the exec. branch, but cannot change laws or bypass congressionally established entities ex. the U.S. Board on Geographic Names (BGN). www.usgs.gov/us-board-on-...

Weird that we have to say this, but the government doesn’t get to decide what gender a person is.

Today, honor a King, not a Felon. #mlkday2025

In honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., let us recommit ourselves to the work of justice, equity, and compassion. May we reflect on the unwavering belief that together we can build a world where all people are valued, respected, and free. open.spotify.com/track/1MBgaJ...

As the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. wisely said, "Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter." Today and every day, I pledge to never silence my voice in the fight for what is right, and I will continue to march in the path he forged toward justice.

Remember when school boards weren't political puppets? The TX Leg has brought back HB1197 which says school board members "must state the political party with which the candidate is aligned" Write your rep. #HB1197 #christiannationalism legiscan.com/TX/bill/HB11...

Tx Leg gaveled in today with some doozies. It's baaaaccckk: HB 1009 relating to the display of the Ten Commandments in public schools. Write your rep. Just nope. #TXLeg #HB1009 #ChristianNationalism legiscan.com/TX/votes/HB1...

Deplorable MAGA Congressmen from TX proposed HR 342, REQUIRING the US flag to fly at full staff on Inauguration Day. This conflicts with US Flag Code & presidential authority. Even NIXON followed the code during his 2nd inaug. You may use the template below to write your rep. #flagcode #HR342

...and yet over half of voting Americans didn't care. The report has nothing that could have changed people's minds. Which is heartbreaking.

Fellow Texans - I encourage to contact the Governor’s office to share your thoughts on his order to raise flags to full mast on Inauguration Day. This man once again shows no commitment to our state and our country. His devotion is to licking the boots of Donald Trump. 512-463-2000

sometimes a picture (or magazine cover) is all you need

What a jackass and hard no here per federal directive which supersedes state directives based authority granted to the President per U.S. Flag Code (Title 4, United States Code, Chapter 1, Section 7). Not that MAGA has ever honored flag code. Disgusting. gov.texas.gov/news/post/go...

Cuban breaks it down perfectly. The system was never built for the patients.

I love with the ACA has done for people with pre-existing conditions. But. Let's face reality, ACA 2013 was a different world. Since then Insurance Companies have learned how to game the system. For the subsidized silver/94 and /87 plans, around ~15 % of taxpayer $ stays with ins comps!

California Governor @gavinnewsom.bsky.social has wisely launched a website to combat disinformation about the fires: www.californiafirefacts.com

Important distinction with the Laken Riley Act - it changes the law to remove due process and deport if an undocumented person is here and accused of a crime. Not convicted of a crime and deported. Which is already law. www.instagram.com/repmarkpocan/ for full clip.

To every ally of the U.S.: As citizens of this country who do not support, condone, or tolerate the president-elect, we apologize and condemn in advance for any unfathomable, inane, shortsighted, horrific, reckless, damaging policies and actions from The Orange Fuckwit & Pals over the next 4 years.

Why is Abbott untouchable? "These expert services expenditures are an example, critics say, of the hidden costs of Operation Lone Star, Abbott’s multi-billion-dollar border militarization project...$11 billion and counting" www.texasobserver.org/texas-millio...

The only path to sanity this year...

Private school principal here in Texas: SAY NO TO VOUCHERS. They are a wolf in sheep's clothing. It's a scam!

Ya think?!

I thought it already was...

Out of the mouth of babes...

I've been reading about Hitler's rise to power and this is awfully familiar.

Cheat sheet: HR 7 has been proposed every year since 2018 and then stalls in committee. A resolution has no force of law. It is symbolic. It advocates for a consortium of anti-abortion clinics. They are playing the long game. Will it make it out of committee this year? Who is in the consortium?
