What it really underscores is the importance of Congress and the Judiciary protecting the rights of federal workers.

This is how you do it. Other news agencies like Axios and CBS, stop rolling over! Grow a spine, stand up straight and fight!

I love her so much.

🚨🚨🚨BREAKING: A federal judge has blocked President Trump's executive order that sought to end government support for programs promoting diversity, equity and inclusion. LET’S FUCKING GO!!!! apnews.com/article/dei-...

I'm in ! Tell me how.

The truth 👇

INDISPUTABLE FACTS: •Russia invaded Ukraine. •Ukraine bears no responsibility for Russia’s invasion. •Russian aggression is a threat to the entire world. •We stand with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. We stand w/all the people of Ukraine. Follow all: WE ARE THE OPPOSITION. go.bsky.app/AMZH6uh

Democratic governors should have all walked out together midway through that meeting but especially after Trump's attack on Gov. Janet Mills. I don't know why they didn't. Makes no sense.

When the wreckage and dust of what these people are doing to our country has settled and the people have finally had enough to throw these jackals out of office, we will never forget the people who enabled it, despite their protestations they weren’t willing accomplices. Never.

Repost if you have tinnitus.

Did you know that 72 MILLION Americans rely on Medicaid for healthcare? The Trump Administration and MAGA Republicans in Congress want to take it away to give tax breaks to billionaires. Don't let them take away our healthcare. Let them know you didn’t vote for this shit.

One month into the second Trump presidency, we've already taken action to protect: ✅ birthright citizenship ✅ due process for immigrants ✅ the right to asylum ✅ gender-affirming care ✅ passport access for trans people ✅ data privacy And we’re just getting started.

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court GRANTS sweeping nationwide injunction against Trump DEI executive orders finding that they violate First and Fifth Amendments to the Constitution. A huge victory for @democracyforward.org and its clients. A stinging loss for Trump. Visit www.democracydocket.com for details.

This.

Happening now: protesters are outside the Fine Arts Building on Michigan Avenue in downtown Chicago this evening. People are in line to see House of Reps Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries for an event tonight promoting his recently released book. Crowd chanting at them, "we don't need a book tour!"

There’s something happening in this country.

Oh nothing to see here — just the United States of America aligning itself with Russia and against Europe. This is fine. Totally fine.

He should be our messenger.

Mitch McConnell isn't going to seek reelection next year. Good riddance. He helped architect this whole Trump disaster. No amount of protest votes will absolve his rotten conscience.

These self-identified Jesus-followers are celebrating the separation of parents from their children and spouses from one another; cheering families torn apart, lives violently uprooted, and human beings being terrorized at school and at work and at church. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/if-youre-a...

Thank goodness we have United States Senators who take very, very seriously their Article I responsibility to engage in … {checks notes} … fact-checking www.npr.org/2025/02/19/n...

Cowardly Quisling

Two of Sen. John Fetterman’s longest-serving staff members are leaving his team as the senator takes a more open approach to President Donald Trump than many of his Democratic colleagues are. Charlie Hills, Fetterman’s communications director, and Tré Easton, his legislative director, are leaving.

The time for action is now. Call Chuck Schumer’s office and demand he start mocking Donald Trump by repeating everything Trump says in a dumb guy voice

“After we’ve discriminated against, deported, or disparaged all the immigrants, the gay and lesbian and transgender people, the developmentally disabled, the women, and minorities. Once we’ve ostracized our neighbors and betrayed our friends… what comes next?” - Gov. JB Pritzker

Crockett: He went from being the dork that was jumping around on stage to allegedly being this amazing genius that's gonna save a country he wasn't born in, and one that maybe he doesn't agree w/the idea of a democratic republic, considering the fact he may have been more on the side of apartheid.

📢 “He’s trying to steal Medicaid to enrich himself. He’s gutting NASA to line his pockets with SpaceX. He’s looting everything good in America for private profit.” - @aoc.bsky.social at today’s #SaveOurServices NYC rally. The fight isn’t over. Join us: go.savepublicservices.com

This is what I was talking about last week.

Well. Has Mike Pence suddenly awakened from 8 years of sleep? #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

Whitehouse: "Remember Trump-Russia? The Mueller report said there was Trump-Russia. The bipartisan Senate intelligence report said there was Trump-Russia. Repeated trials brought in evidence showing Trump-Russia. There was, is, and forever shall be Trump-Russia."

Trump is surrendering America. Trump is the opposite of strong. He is a tiny, weak, small, scared, trembling, sissy, husk of a man. There is nothing manly about his fat, sweaty, smelly, gross, makeup'ed self An absolute joke

I won’t serve a king…

I don't believe most (reasonable) people are looking to our democratic leaders for solutions in this moment but rather they are looking for hope. I have talked to thousands of people who are scared... and all are looking for assurance that we will be ok... EVENTUALLY. Its why I'm out here fighting

Correct. He’s not capable of playing multidimensional chess. Or chess. Or checkers. Or tic-tac-toe. As one of his aides put it during Shit Show I, “he’s just eating the pieces” on the board. Nothing he does is strategic. He’s purely guided by narcissistic, sociopathic impulses at all times.

People are fleeing Florida and Texas. As of Jan. 2025, those states collectively accounted for over 30% of ALL homes for sale in the US. Florida had 157,221 active listings—the highest in the country—followed by Texas with 102,552. Repressive state governments and rising insurance are to blame.

Eve and I are out celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary! And I’m wearing the same shirt I wore on our first date — it’s a bit worn around the edges but then so am I. But three decades later, Adam and Eve are still going strong!

This is true. @bsky.app is the app of the people. We may not all agree. We may not even all like each other. But we can engage and disagree and agree with our hate That makes the platform the future of social media

Dude is golfing on a f*cking Wednesday. I still can’t believe even a single person voted for him.
