This is disgraceful and un-American. The Trump administration defended its removal of articles highlighting the achievements of minority service members, including Navajo code talkers, Marines at Iwo Jima, and famed Black baseball player Jackie Robinson.

If you needed another reason to ditch your Kindle and start buying ebooks from @bookshop-org.bsky.social instead, here it is: www.theverge.com/news/612898/... Every ebook you buy from Amazon moving forward can be censored or deleted without your consent.

Imagine calling yourself the master race and have to resort to erasing the achievements of minorities to make yourself feel better.

Remember this all the time!

Pete is spot on. 🎯🎯🎯 We need more Pete Buttigieg in our government. IMHO, he is our best Democratic messenger.

A new analysis reveals that Trump’s tax plan will “actively transfer money from low-income people to the top 0.1% of income earners.” 🔗: www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Meanwhile, @wired.com "will no longer put articles that primarily use public records obtained by FOIA behind its paywall." From Reliable Sources: view.newsletters.cnn.com/messages/174...

Just a non-gentle reminder of this guy's past. People knew who he was and what he stood for. His resume was blatantly clear. Now, he is doing the same on a massive scale and with help.

Cup of Coffee Extra: The Department of Defense erases Jackie Robinson. Free article. No paywall. www.cupofcoffeenews.com/cup-of-coffe...

The challenge: In March, post a book by a woman author every day (or as often as you can). Rules: It has to be a book you’ve read. It has to be a book you enjoyed or learned something from. #booksky #books #bookchallenge #TheWriteWomen

HMMM: So the administration reveals in a new court filing (ordered by Judge Bates) that Amy Gleason was actually hired by HHS as an "expert/consultant" on March 4, just a few days after the White House identified her as the administrator of DOGE.

#ProudBlue BAD ASS WOMEN OF HISTORY Eveline Burns was born this month in 1900. She was an economist, educator & technical expert who helped design social security. She taught economics and social work at Columbia University for nearly 40 years. www.ssa.gov/history/eveb...

Beshear: When I vetoed the nastiest anti-LGBTQ+ bill during my election year, I explained why I did it. My faith teaches me that all children are children of God. I wanted those children, who were being hated on, to know their governor cares for them… my faith tells me that’s my job

🚨🚨 WISCONSIN 🚨🚨 Early voting starts TODAY! Susan Crawford is committed to standing up for everyday people, while her opponent Brad Schimel sued to take away health care from nearly a million Wisconsinites. Vote for Judge Crawford by April 1st! No better time than right now. #DemVoice1

When you erase the history of the code talkers, you are erasing the history of the Second World War. www.washingtonpost.com/investigatio...

My elderly neighbors get their medicine in the mail…a disruption in USPS service could quite literally kill them.

Brad Schimel wants to bring back the 1849 law that bans all abortions with no exceptions. He let domestic abusers walk with no jail time. And he’s the one who let 6,000 rape kits sit untested for two years. That’s Brad Schimel. Too extreme for WI. VOTE Susan Crawford.

A memo has just leaked revealing that the Trump administration is planning to sabotage the Social Security Administration. Their plan would gut the agency’s claims process, potentially preventing millions of Americans from getting their earned benefits. Per @juddlegum.bsky.social:

Pay attention to this: Elon Musk is now trying to buy a seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court. Why aren’t more Democrats talking about this??

They want the unreviewable power to grab people and render them to a foreign gulag.

Over 100,000 seats are up for grabs in 2025 — governors, mayors, city councils, state representatives, judges, school boards, and more. Taking back our power starts now.

They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.

He couldn’t even run a charity without breaking the law—Now he believes he’s in charge of the Supreme Court, Congress, our rights, and the U.S. justice system. Who’s going to stop him?!

When people talk about "American Exceptionalism" they now usually mean that Americans are exceptionally bad a running a country.

they’re arresting people for performing abortions, they’re deporting people for liking pro-palestine posts on social media, they’re sending immigrants to forced labor camps in south america, we are living under fascism right now

For all those people who think “the left got more radical,” this is what the evolution of the GOP has looked like over the past few years.

These are e most important #s for the Dems. They should be tracking all local media and influencers in these states and reposting it everywhere The economic pain tariffs can indlict on red states need to be talked about more than anything else right now. It will flip voters.

Openly ignoring and defying the Judiciary. Breaking his oath to preserve and protect the Constitution of the United States. Granting himself unchecked power. This is authoritarianism.

NYT: “The White House did not comment on why the group had altered the contracts data or why it’s now harder for the public to scrutinize it.” The *savings* have been changed and altered — and are nowhere near what @MarshaBlackburn claims they are. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/13/u...
