Wow! Congrats to Bluesky for passing the milestone of 32 MILLION users. Spread the word!! 💙🦋 bsky-users.theo.io

Yeah when????🙄😡

Sharing more townhall videos today because they’re giving me hope. THIS is good trouble! Who is this man? I want to shake his hand and buy him a drink.

We are arms dealers to terrorists.

“The CFPB is there to make sure that Elon's new project can't scam you or steal your sensitive personal data...This is like a bank robber trying to fire the cops, and turn off the alarms just before he strolls into the lobby.” US Sen. Elizabeth Warren More here:

Completely nuts.

He nails it.

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.

We NEED @blakegendebien.bsky.social to win. This is an all hands situation.

We condemn #Apple's decision to comply with UK government demands by removing Advanced Data Protection, effectively granting officials access to user data. Previously, this data was only accessible to users themselves—a serious blow to digital privacy: www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... #E2EE

Yo DOGE, Found your waste! 👇🏼

Today, I found out that the Department of Defense banned the Well-Read Black Girl anthology by Glory Edim. I was one of its contributors. I'm really hurt right now. So if you have it in you, please buy books by Black women from independent bookstores.

EXCLUSIVE: A federal worker at the EPA sent an incredible email to Administrator Lee Zeldin. He's refused to stay silent, and has asked me to share the email - and his name - with the public. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/exclusive-...

In future generations, when your children and grandchildren look back on this moment, they are not going to ask about the price of eggs. They are going to ask you what you did. Not what you felt. Not what you paid. But what you did. And I want to be able to say I did everything I possibly could.

If you’re wondering why I declined to talk to the NYTimes, then you haven’t been following my account for very long. They bear a direct responsibility for the current situation we find ourselves in, and I responded by laying out my position and that I would only talk to @jamellebouie.net

83% (!!!) of Americans oppose Trump pardoning violent Jan. 6 rioters, according to a new WaPo/Ipsos poll.

"In other countries, this would be called 'an authoritarian coup.' In America, mealy-mouthed officials call our transition into a mafia state 'deeply troubling' and do little to curb the damage." -- HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT (2020)

Here's one of the warnings I gave in an article before the US election. It's devastating to see it all happening. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Exactly right

I hope the hockey fans in Boston sing O Canada good and loud so they annoy the hell out of the Orange Blob who may watch it on TV. Go Team Canada!

You know this is 100% going to happen…

Just tell them you were being metaphorical, like when the J6-ers chanted HANG MIKE PENCE and were pardoned by Trump.

Just more proof that this Administration doesn’t care if we survive it…

“I realized a lifelong dream to work for the premier environmental protection organization in the world. An organization that mission was to protect the people like me, who used to play on the slag mounds behind Buckeye Steel. Standing amongst the best, I felt an immense pride in my achievements.”

I don't think the Dems can stop the firings. But why aren't they proposing legislation that assures those that took the buyout get paid , and that all that are fired, get at least a year severance and health benefits? And any one with a health condition is covered the entire time they are sick?

New: DOGE's spending has been secret. No longer. My colleagues have uncovered it. www.propublica.org/article/doge...

🚨 My new book, The Folly of Realism, comes out in less than one week 🚨 Take a look at the video trailer!

Murphy: "The game is clear. We can see it. They're not even hiding it. There is not a rule of law anymore. There is one set of law for people who are loyal to Donald Trump, and there is one set of law for people who care criticize him. That is not democracy."

Last night, President Musk and his reek, Trump, said they wouldn't touch Medicaid. Well, they lied. Today, Trump endorses the cuts. Nice, nice.

Resisting comes in all forms. Here is a very creative one starting to pop up.
