ICONIC: Yosemite National Park workers just hung an upside-down American flag—THOUSANDS of feet up on El Capitan. That’s not decoration. That’s a distress signal. They’re telling us the country is in danger. Are you paying attention? www.sfchronicle.com/outdoors/art...

At what point do leaders in the GOP band together (since they seem to lack courage individually) & say enough is enough? The party of Reagan becomes the tool of Putin if they don’t, especially after last night.

Unfortunately I won’t be to DC in time, but this rally for Ukraine is happening in Lincoln memorial. Attend if you can and Slava Ukrainii!

In 2025, I've become drunk with power. I've lost track of all the reasons I've blocked people. But I'm pretty sure I blocked someone earlier just for mixing up their, there, and they're.

This was the motto of the civil society movement to resist Bolsonaro’s right wing authoritarianism in Brazil. I learned it from @annagalland.bsky.social and love it. Would love to see American designers do their own interpretations.

PREACH!! 💥BAM💥💙

Operation ICE Ride-Along isn’t going as planned. 🔥 Fox News tagged along with ICE, hoping for an exclusive look at “dangerous criminals.” Instead, they got a whole lot of nothing. No threats, no big arrests—just a community that wasn’t having it. The narrative is falling apart.

Ayanna Pressley: "Elon Musk is a Nazi nepo baby."

This was posted yesterday morning before the DCA crash. Prescient.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

Hey Jim- You were the best that @cnn.com had to offer & will be deeply missed! I look forward to the next chapter in your career & I'm not just saying that because of the killer Yoda impression you did when I was on your show.

Really love this cartoon from the great Michael De Adder. The outpouring of support coming in has been truly amazing! Thanks everybody!

Might as well, he’s going to get worse either way. Let’s at least make him as miserable as possible.

Jim Acosta announces on air that he's leaving CNN and says, "it is never a good time to bow down to a tyrant ... don't give in to the lies."

Costco pharmacy is selling single dose levonorgestrel emergency contraception ("morning after pill") for $5.99 per dose. This is a product with a fairly long shelf life and they don't seem to mind selling it to people who clearly don't need it. No prescription needed.

Serious props to Marisa here who had this before anyone else I think.

Welcome to the Rebellion, Quakers! www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat...

"Let’s speak plainly: Trump is inviting the Iranian government to kill these men. And he’s not even pretending otherwise. Perhaps you are surprised. You shouldn’t be. Trump has been working up to this point for years."

Some very helpful info here

I have and will continue to. But you know why I say it here ? Because @bsky.app is 30m strong and growing quickly. The collective wisdom and influence of users here is far greater than any individual democrat. I can't say it enough. Bluesky can be the influence that can counter RW media.

If your Christianity causes you to be offended by someone asking the most powerful person in the country to be merciful towards the powerless, then you have profoundly misunderstood the teachings of Jesus Christ.

Epic courage here.

Well, it’s official, President Von Shitz-in-Pants, is now free to wreak havoc at will. May God have mercy on the soul of the country.

like I keep saying: all of this is going to end badly, just a question of how badly and how long.

Oh Lions, you’re breaking my heart... Over 50 years of being a die hard fan…and here we are again

While Snoop Dogg sells out his street cred Taylor Swift is still a defiant bad ass.
