🗣️ @aoc.bsky.social out fighting for the people & federal workers: “Every day our job is to wake up and say ‘what can I do today?’ — There is no act too small. Every action matters.” 🇺🇸

Republicans let an unstable billionaire illegally dismantle government and upend American lives for his own gain. GOP put Americans’ privacy, security and safety at risk so billionaires and corporations get bigger tax cuts and less accountability. GOP 101: People get screwed. GOP donors get paid.

On Super Bowl Sunday, here's a reminder of what real courage looks like.

SCOOP: A US Treasury threat intelligence analysis has designated DOGE staff an ‘insider threat'. An internal email reviewed by WIRED calls DOGE staff's access to federal payments systems “the single biggest insider threat risk the Bureau of the Fiscal Service has ever faced.”

You can’t spell FELON without ELON.

Draw your own conclusions, but Donald Trump is not behaving like a leader who expects democratic accountability for himself or his party next year or in 2028.

I don't know if this is the case, but it rings true. But every Democrat in Congress needs to act like their number one priority is to ensure our country survives Trump, no matter what that means for their political careers or, frankly, weekends. Few are up to that. And step aside if you're not.

Ok sure, eggs are more expensive and inflation isn’t lowering, but at least they cut the funding for childhood cancer research, stopped monitoring Bird flu, shutdown Medicaid, stripped hungry kids of their school lunches and took hot meals away from seniors

🚨NEW: New York Attorney General Letitia James has announced she will be suing the Trump Administration over his illegal freezing of federal aid, becoming the first official in the U.S. to take action. REPOST to thank Attorney General James for standing up for our democracy!

Robert Kennedy Jr. is a notorious conspiracy theorist who has spent years spreading dangerous misinformation about vaccines and public health. Confirming RFK Jr. as HHS Secretary would endanger millions of Americans. app.sosha.ai/s/jpXICeFn

We must protect this man at all costs.

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.

As a christian and a human being I stand with Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde. She is speaking the vision and message of Jesus and the Gospels, and truth to power of showing mercy and love to all, and treating everyone with dignity. I hope all people of faith support her in this moment.

Friendly reminder: Not all executive orders take effect immediately upon signing. There are many instances that require delayed implementation, so let’s take a moment to assess what is performative and remember that there are people and agencies working to protect your rights and liberties.

happy bday French writer Simone de Beauvoir, b.1908. “One's life has value so long as one attributes value to the life of others, by means of love, friendship, and compassion” “All oppression creates a state of war. And this is no exception.”

I'm with them.

I firmly believe that Democratic politicians like AOC, Jasmine Crockett, Pete Buttigieg, and others who can communicate messaging while not sounding like politicians are the future of our party.

Is it sinking in?

NEW: Women experiencing pregnancy loss in states with abortion bans told us they wished they had known what to expect and how to advocate for themselves. We created this guide for anyone who finds themselves in the same position. ⤵️

I’ll be wearing black. Still haven’t decided if I’m gonna go full Sicilian widow mode and sport a black lace veil for four years.

Dark Brandon needs to dial it waaay the fuck up.

I genuinely don't think I can handle the next four years of New York Times headlines. Kill me now.

Senate Democrats need to use final two months of controlling Senate to take the fight to Trump. 1. Hold public hearings on Trump’s cabinet nominees because under Trump that will not happen since all dangerous nominees will be confirmed by recess appointments 2. Confirm as many judges as possible

"We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope" - Dr. MLK Jr.

It is so discouraging to see that the media hasn't learned a single thing over the past decade. They normalize the absolutely insane things Trump and his surrogates do and treat them as legitimate.

Deep breaths.
