There are two large accounts that were recently suspended for SPAM aka ENGAGEMENT BAITING. What is engagement baiting? If you see accounts that consistently ask you to drop a 💙, show of 🙌, raise a ✋, this is considered engagement baiting. They gather this info and sell to the highest bidder. 👇👇👇

The Hungarians are telling us something.

State Department plan to deport ‘pro-Hamas’ students relies on a 1952 McCarthy-era antisemitic law that targeted Jews—& will use AI to scan social media & news reports of 🇮🇱 protests. flip.it/rqEItY yes this is prima facie unconstitutional. The 1st Amendment isn’t just for citizens!

"The Prime Minister announced today that he will travel to Paris, France, London, United Kingdom, and Iqaluit, Nunavut, from March 16 to 18, 2025, to strengthen two of our closest and longest-standing economic and security partnerships, and to reaffirm Canada’s Arctic security and sovereignty."

The Voice of America may not live up to its ambitious name for much longer. Today staffers were told to stop working. Some were told to hand in badges. And contracts with other American-funded networks were cancelled. This is a massive purge. 🧵

folks, if they deported people during the break in the hearing about deporting exactly these people, we’re in completely lawless territory. if the government can engage in irreparable harm while the judge is hearing argument, there’s no real process left.

Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted… And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right. George Orwell, 1984

Now THAT is courage. If they can, surely you can. Go find a town hall to attend.

If you want to know how the US shamefully put Japanese citizens in concentration camps during World War II It was also by a president summarily deciding-without any consideration of the Constitution or their legal rights That they were national security risks And the Supreme Court upheld it

Attorneys for Mahmoud Khalil release video of his arrest inside his university-owned residence. The clip shows immigration agents confronting Khalil in the lobby, informing him that he is “going to be under arrest” and ordering him to “stop resisting.” #MomSky apnews.com/video/attorn...

“Schmidt being “violently interrogated” at Logan Airport for hours, and being stripped naked, put in a cold shower by two officials, and being put back onto a chair.” Whatever happened to #abolishICE? It needs to be abolished. This is torture.

This is horrible to post, but I may as well post it. We are essentially shutting down research operations in my group, which is focused on treatments for pediatric brain cancer. I’m a well funded investigator, and there’s no choice. Science can’t function without the stability of NIH

TRUMP: “I believe that CNN & MS-DNC, who literally write 97.6% bad about me, are political arms of the Democrat Party & in my opinion, they’re really corrupt .... what they do is illegal." HITLER: After rising to power, the Nazis eliminated freedom of the press. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 thehill.com/homenews/adm...

Trump walks to Marine One to head to Mar-a-Lago to play golf on the taxpayers dime. This trip will cost us $3.1 million, which could be used by USAID to feed 710 starving children for a full year.

Thanks to Tim Walz for leading the way on this.

I'm sure many people can guess-- but this plus the funding reductions that will result in the closure of 20+ Bureau of Indian Affairs agency offices on reservations is completely illegal. It's a direct violation of the Federal Government's trust responsibilities to tribes and is not discretionary.

I bought a Tesla because it was fast like a rocket ship. But now every time I drive it, I feel like a rolling billboard for a man dismantling our government and hurting people. So Tesla, you’re fired! New ride coming soon.

I am SO glad to hear this. They have to cancel those orders. The military industry in America is big business. Let’s all work together and kill it. Or at least weaken it. Don’t fund the enemy. Lots of alternatives.

What is wrong with giving a new leader a chance? A new approach, a fresh approach. Someone who has integrity, leadership skills, represents a key state, has guts and the confidence of the base. Time to put ego aside and screw seniority. This is my nominee.

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable. Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes. Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

I care deeply about who Michigan will elect as Governor and send to the U.S. Senate next year, but I have decided against competing in either race. I wrote more here about my decision and how I view the work required of us all in this moment:

"the plan to shrink IRS staff by up to 50% would — very conservatively — lead to a $400 billion increase in uncollected taxes over the next decade. It could easily mean more than $2 trillion in losses..." www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

You can't manage what you don’t measure The Global Monitoring Laboratory has recorded the longest continuous atmospheric CO₂ concentrations (the Keeling Curve), clearly documenting the steady increase in CO₂ from human activities. Trump's going to kill it. www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

These are the senators who collaborated with the GOP. Schumer Fetterman Cortez Masto Durbin King Shaheen Gillibrand Schatz Hassan Peters Don’t let them forget it. No peace for them.

This is the beginning of the end now. There is no question the Democratic Senate is actually beholding to the same people that own MAGA, with the exception of a few. We all must now plan and prepare for the worst. The fascists are virtually unopposed in politics. www.esquire.com/news-politic...

Congratulations to @schumer.senate.gov and the others who just played into the hands of an insane dictator who just said it's illegal for cnn and msnbc to criticize him

Trump can call me names but the truth remains. He is an unhinged wanna be dictator who is angry that I beat him in court and won't cower in fear. Now he is weaponizing the federal government against his political opponents. I will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey.

AOC becomes the first person on Bluesky to reach 2 million followers

Very disappointed that these 9 Democrats caved. We will remember. Time for new leadership. #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue #FuckTrump

Be MAD. Be DISILLUSIONED. Be LOUD. Take a BEAT. DO NOT GIVE UP!!! Let your Senators and Reps KNOW HOW YOU FEEL about their votes on cloture and the CR! This is a form to streamline that process for you!

Bomb Kremlin ? ? ?

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House. We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication. They own what happens next.

As measles cases increase in Canada, remember that Pierre Poilievre wants to abolish vaccine requirements.

Did you hear that the much trumpeted mission to house 30,000 immigrants at Guantanamo Bay has completely failed and ended? Nah...they don't want you to know they burned over $16M for 290 people. But they got the pictures! Really. My latest. open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum has declared the start of a nationwide program to provide free glasses to kids who need them, dental assistance and weight and metabolic management. Meanwhile the orange felon is trying to criminalize Habitat for Humanity and nonprofits.
