As more people exercise 1st Amendment rights to free speech and protesting, itā€™s important Protestors Know Your Rights. Where you protest, outside in public vs inside a government meeting, and how (peacefully) can affect whether you are safe or at risk #Voices4Victory www.aclu.org/know-your-ri...

For the US to side with Russia and North Korea to oppose a UN resolution condemning the illegal invasion of Ukraine defies all common sense and adds insult to the countless injuries suffered by the brave Ukrainian people. edition.cnn.com/2025/02/24/p...

Itā€™s not a ā€œtrustā€ issue Itā€™s an ā€œhonestyā€ issue Elon Musk is lying about the supposed ā€œfraudā€ he claims DOGE found Just like he lies incessantly on Twitter It seems heā€™s inherently dishonest Maybe thatā€™s why the only fraud discovered in connection with DOGE Is that which Musk himself created

In light of the news that Dan Bongino will be the Kash Patel's Deputy FBI Director, I am reposting what I wrote a few weeks ago. "Donald Trump will insist on using the powers of the state to attack his political opponents." www.democracydocket.com/opinion/ther...

He will burn down whatever he can, however he can Our systems of governance, rule of law, global alliances, even the Constitution. Consumed by vengeance and greed, he is the greatest threat to our Republic since its founding. We must meet this moment with the force of a thousand suns. Or perish.

The first text I got from a "famous" person after I went public about January 6th, was @joyannreid.bsky.social Joy didn't want an interview, a statement or even a soundbyte...Joy simply said, Harry i want to be your friend and I'm here for you. She's as real as they come and I'm so thankful for her

Soul mates.. šŸ˜Š

The MAGA regime has opened a criminal investigation into Democratic Rep. Robert Garcia for criticizing Nazi Musk and Pam Bondi has deleted a DOJ database that tracks police misconduct, a database created after the murder of George Floyd. This is what a fascist state looks like.

Iā€™ve met with President Zelenskyy and members of his government. They are strong, honorable allies. Minnesota stands with the people of Ukraine as they fight to defend freedom and democracy. www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

One of my favorite geographic wonders in the whole world (seriously!) and a new fav account to follow! @lakemichigan13.bsky.social check them out for beauty, history and intelligent sassiness!

ā€œAt least Russia has electionsā€ Russia frequently jails and kills any opposition to Putin, who has been in power since 1999. If you like dictatorships, thatā€™s fine. Just admit that. Donā€™t insult anyoneā€™s intelligenceā€”including your ownā€”by claiming Russia has real elections.

A Rare White Bison

When a judge stops the president from doing something illegal, thatā€™s not a ā€œthreat to democracy,ā€ thatā€™s a check on the presidentā€™s power. That's the whole damn point.

@raskin.house.gov: "The whole anti-corruption crusade is an absolute fraud. They started by decimating the ranks of the inspectors general. These are the people whose job is actually, day in and day out, 365 days a year, to ferret out waste, fraud and abuse in the departments and the agencies."

Whatever else emerges in time about the Delta crash in Canada, one thing is certain: the importance & amazing professionalism of flight attendants who safely evacuated the plane in a matter of seconds.

Stand with science. Always.

Republicans are going big on Medicaid cuts, pretending theyā€™ll be harmless by claiming they only target ā€œwaste.ā€ Thatā€™s a lie. Under Biden, Medicaidā€™s improper payments fell to 5%ā€”the same as private insurance. This is an attack on 80M Americans. #HandsOffMyMedicaid www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

It must be quite a thing to find out the "parasite class" you've been urging them to get rid of...is you.

No shit. bylinetimes.com/2025/02/07/s...

BREAKING: Ranking Member Raskin demands Attorney General Bondi halt illegal intimidation campaign targeting the DOJā€™s Public Integrity Office.

I use words for a living, but sometimes even I donā€™t know what to say. This week weā€™ve seen the Republican Senate cave and approve nearly all of Trumpā€™s remaining cabinet nominees, all of whom are insane. Weā€™ve seen Elon Musk hold an unhinged press conference while standing...

Iā€™ve been trying so hard not to hate. But these words from John help me have peace with my hate directed at Trump, Musk, Vance and every traitor supporting them. Thank you @johnpavlovitz.bsky.social . For helping me feel at peace with my feelings. This is an important read.

WTF??????

UPDATE: A purge of experienced career staff has begun at NIH. The staff was just informed that Deputy Director Lawrence Tabak, who has worked at NIH for 25 years is "retiring." Grant funding remains frozen, in violation of two federal court orders.

Timeline cleanser. Please make space to feed your delight and creativity in the marvel of the non-digital world. Even if itā€™s a goofy hobby, your nervous system, your perspective will reset and your body and brain will thank you.

May I vent?I canā€™t think clearly or rationally because of how angry I am.I firmly believe every senator who has confirmed current Trump cabinet members should be prosecuted as traitors to the US. As should Musk,Vance & Trump. Put them in Guantanamo in place of all the refugees. God help us all.

@cignahealthcare.bsky.social are you seriously denying a PET scan to a cancer patient?

The people complaining that other people enjoyed the Super Bowl and how can you enjoy something so meaningless in the face of fascism? Go have some fun. You wonā€™t make it if you donā€™t set some time aside for yourself to have some fucking fun. Fascists want you to be miserable. Donā€™t help them.

NEW: Did Elon just create a secret IT contracting vehicle at OPM to avoid Congressional and public oversight? We need to get more eyes on this so please share my latest (always free): www.muellershewrote.com/p/did-elon-j...

In light of the news of @markzaidesq.bsky.social being targeted by Trump, I am reposting this. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/ther...

@joeneguse.bsky.social can you and your colleagues please help answer these excellent questions?

Glad we were able to join our friends @moveon.org & @indivisible.org to protest Elon Muskā€™s hostile takeover of the Treasury & illegal attempts to access MILLIONS of Americans personal info. Nobody elected Elon. And we want him OUT of our government and our business.

While itā€™s true that a majority of Michigan voters selected Donald Trump to serve as our president, the whims of the majority cannot and should not be permitted to infringe upon any residentā€™s rights and liberties.Ā  www.freep.com/story/opinio...

Muskā€™s allies were granted access to the U.S. Treasury payment system. Treasury stays silent. White House stays silent. Why the secrecy? Time for an explanation and full transparency.

#ProudBlue President Biden was excellent at deporting illegal immigrants During FOTUSā€™ first week, he removed 7,300 people On average, President Biden removed 15,000 per week and the ICE arrests were 72% criminals President Biden was much better at getting the job done without noise or bragging

Eaton and Palisades fires officially out! šŸ™šŸ¾šŸ™ŒšŸ¾ #California #EatonFire #PalisadesFire

Wow. Insane manipulation by the LA Times

Senator Bennett hits the ground running making a case that Tulsi Gabbard is pro Russia.

This right here. This is what the President of the United States SHOULD say right now. Not comment on the cause of the crash. Not assign blame for the crash. Not engage in conspiracies. This right here is what a leader, what a good person says. Thank you Barack Obama.šŸ‘‡
