Big thank you to @CityofSunrise for hosting another fabulous Community Resource Fair 🫶 open.substack.com/pub/momsdema...

BMO has this tidbit for anyone who thinks tariffs can replace income-tax revenue — or come anywhere close.

The Super Bowl went down something like this

It me. I’m Amelia.

How’s that ‘protest vote’ working out now? Not. So. Good.

This is the only thing that I have read that comes close to current events as I see them. I highly recommend reading this.

Fuck yeah. 🙌🫶

RFK Jr. has a track record of denying the reality of our country’s gun violence crisis. He has no place at the helm of the Department of Health and Human Services.

Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.

It is 89 seconds to midnight. #Terrifying

CNN's Jim Acosta signing off: "I will not give in to the lies. I will not give into the fear. Post it on your social media so people can hear from you too." I will not give in to the lies. I will not give into the fear. Post it on your social media so people can hear from you too. Pass it on.

I'm told TikTok's host (Oracle) and CDN (Akamai) brought it back online today because Trump assured them they'd not be subject to penalties - something he can't entirely promise. Whatever one's feelings on the ban's merit, they're defying federal law based on a not-yet-president's word. Huge gamble

want to be excruciatingly clear about this: TikTok didn't have to go dark last night and it didn't have to turn back on this morning. both of those were voluntary moves that the law does not directly touch.

Less than 24 hours after going dark in the US, Tik Tok goes back online positioning Trump as its savior. One of the most cynical political scams you’ll ever see.

Never forget.

'No one has done more than Jess Phillips. That fool Elon Musk calls her a rape genocide apologist. Why is vitriol always against women?' Ex-magistrate Alan sat in domestic violence courts. He tells @mrjamesob.bsky.social of his concerns on the grooming gangs row.

if you lost a d it’s hiding in the short version of refrigerator

Four years ago, insurrectionists stormed the US Capitol at Trump’s behest to overturn his failed bid. A peaceful transition of power is a bedrock of our nation’s stability. Jan. 6 is a reminder of the danger to our constitutional republic if we don’t come together to defend it.

Today is *not* a “peaceful transfer of power.” It’s the completion of a violent coup attempt that began this morning four years ago. Yes, Trump won the ‘24 election; but he was only able to run because we failed to fully confront the fact of that violent coup attempt.

And they’re off!! 🍿🍿🍿

Speaker Mike Johnson just banged his gavel and adjourned the 118th Congress. The most useless Congress in history is officially ended. Republicans cannot govern.

Maryland @momsdemand.bsky.social volunteers are thrilled to welcome Angela Alsobrooks as our new senator!

"just immigrate legally bro"

Republicans are still trying to steal an enormously consequential state Supreme Court seat in North Carolina, and I'm only hearing about it because I follow @abreezeclayton.bsky.social. Please let North Carolinians know that they can show up for democracy this Sunday in Raleigh.

If that’s not prophetic then I don’t know what is.

Picturing Elon Musk just hopping mad, deciding to righteously deploy an epic quote from the funniest movie character he has ever seen, Tom Cruise in TROPIC THUNDER

Good morning and Happy Saturday to everyone who agrees that it's time for EVERYONE to wake up to the hard, cold truth that the richest man on the planet does NOT give a fuck about us, he only cares about himself. Stop falling for his bullshit.

Something in my house is randomly going “Pfhweeeeetickatickatick” very gently and it’s driving me batshit.

Well would you look at that.

😍😍😍😍😍

We should never give up. The giant squash and his infestation of ticks have already stolen enough. Do not let them steal your peace, holiday, or dreams. That is why we are here on Bluesky. X is on life support, they will OD on ignorance. Hold the line and support one another here, never give up

Two days after the 12-year anniversary of the Sandy Hook Elementary School tragedy—where 20 children and six educators were senselessly killed by a gunman with an AR-15—we are once again mourning lives taken by gun violence in a school. Why don’t Republicans in Congress think this is a problem?
