If AOC is too busy, Helly should primary Chuck Schumer

"The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little." —FDR, 1937

I *thought* I recognized the shark attack story from @carelesspeople.bsky.social !! @thisamericanlife.org Episode #476 “What Doesn’t Kill You” Act Two “Just Keep Breathing” October 5, 2012 Thank you @npr.org

Good trouble is coming

Trump just revoked my security clearance… one small problem: I haven’t had one in years. 😂 This isn’t about security—it’s about his fragile ego and petty revenge. My latest piece on Trump’s obsession with punishing his critics adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/trumps-lat...

No, not Democrats being “bused in”—just regular Nebraskans waking up to the fact that their Social Security is on the chopping block to fund tax cuts for billionaires. Great piece by PBS.

Canada‘s new immigration minister says Trump presidency is creating an “incredible opportunity” for Canada to attract the best and brightest from around the world – including talented people currently living in the United States. #cdnpoli

exactly this!

Let’s be clear. AOC has just as much, if not more, to fear than most capitulating corporations, media, voters, and leaders. She’s a hero for Democracy and everyone needs to show her respect for that.

WOW! AOC and Bernie Sanders just held the Biggest political event in Denver since Obama 2008.

MAGA is mad that Trump stripping my non existent security clearance means literally nothing and is funny. THEYRE SO MAD!!!

Casar: You can quickly explain Doge with just two numbers. First: $8 million a day. That’s how much Elon Musk collects in federal government contracts. Second: $65 a day. That’s how much the average senior—someone who has worked their entire life—gets from Social Security.…

Good news out of Colorado! A Federal judge orders Colorado district to return banned books to school libraries. Good work! www.denverpost.com/2025/03/19/e...

Did you know? Fifteen years later, the ACA's Medicaid expansion has been linked to improved health outcomes and reduced mortality rates in many states. It's a powerful tool for public health. #ACASavesLives

My name Sara Spector. I am an attorney in Red Texas. Trump is trying to scare and silence attorneys who stand up against his attack on our constitution. And many powerful attorneys are capitulating or remaining silent. This is not acceptable. I will never be silenced.

What came first: the right-wing podcaster or the brain worms? @taylorlorenz.bsky.social joins me on this week's episode of Bubble Pop. We're breaking down the right-wing dominance of online media (hint hint: no, they aren't just organically popular). Here's a taste:

EVERY SINGLE SO CALLED EVANGELICAL CHRISTIAN KNOWS DAMN WELL 🙄 You worship PURE EVIL 👿

Here’s how trickle-down economics actually works: The top 1% hoard all the wealth… And…that’s it. That’s the whole scam. Get it, NOW?! 🤚

Let’s. Do. This. 😎✨

Democratic leadership and $6 million/year lawyers are not as brave as we expect the average school teacher to be on her worst day.

It's easy to feel like we're giving up our country without a fight. But don't be deceived by polls & media gaslighting. There is a groundswell of resistance rising. The "Fight Oligarchy" tour just packed 15K seats in AZ. We will take our country back Goodnight friends. Keep the faith✊Get some rest

There! Now you can feel better! Just keep this on a loop and in about 30 minutes the rage will subside! ENJOY!

Hello? Is this thing on?! 🎙️ A French scientist flew to the USA. Border Patrol seized his phone, read his social media comments, denied him entry, sent him back to France They did not like his THOUGHTS and WORDS. They refused him entry to the USA. Because of his thoughts. Orwellian Thought Police

Hear ye, hear ye... Billions missing from the company of dude in charge of finding government fraud. futurism.com/huge-amount-...

Just arrived from Berlin to an empty Dulles airport in DC. Assumed because Heathrow outage. “No,” says my WashFlyer cabbie, the past month has been super slow. “Fewer tourists, fewer business people. This is not normal, believe me.” Says he’s looking for a new job because he needs to pay his bills.

In the past four weeks, Costco, which has embraced DEI initiatives, GAINED 7 million shoppers… Target, which got rid of DEI, LOST 5 million shoppers! That’s the power we have as consumers. Remember that.

I keep hearing comments that elected Dems don’t know what to do because they are in the minority. How many smallish-audience podcasts did you do this week with Dems working hard to build up their audiences? If you want an alternative media universe, you have to help create it.

Something special is happening! Bless these people!

Now is an excellent time to start keeping a diary or journal. We’ve seen first hand how easily information can get scrubbed from the internet. Don’t rely on your socials to tell your story. Document atrocities. Share moments of hope. Make sure future generations know how we fell into fascism.

Sanders: I'm not a mathematician but I do know that 99% is a hell of a lot bigger number than 1%. I do know that if we stand together, we are the vast majority of people. We can defeat trumpism

BREAKING: 34,000 people have showed up in Denver, Colorado this evening to see Bernie Sanders and AOC fight oligarchy and authoritarianism.

We expected 2,000 people out in GOP-held Greeley, Colorado. 11,000 people showed up. Something special is happening, folks. Now is the time to organize in every dimension possible and get to work.

Sadly the press continues to be complicit by failing to report accurately on what is happening. This is not a "DEI purge". This is the systematic erasure of the important contributions of Black historical figures. The erasure is rooted in re-segregation and racism. www.nbcnews.com/news/nbcblk/...

NEW: AOC in Vegas. Major challenge to Dem leadership🔥 “If you’re willing to fight for someone you don’t know, you’re welcome here. But I will say this: Those leaders on either side of aisle willing to put their fellow Americans down so they can get ahead; they may best find a home somewhere else.”

Full house for Bernie and AOC in Tempe, Arizona tonight

American humanist James Baldwin speaking at the University of Cambridge in 1965. His words on racism resonate loudly today. 'I am not a ward of America...I am one of the people who built the country.' Great words for #InternationalDayfortheEliminationofRacialDiscrimination.

Republicans are ALWAYS the victim. Not a very “masculine” trait

Truer words were never spoken.

The U.S. government is closing the main Canadian access to the Haskell Free Library and Opera House, an iconic building that straddles the border between Quebec and Vermont, according to town and library officials.
