Spread the word, if you haven’t already.

I always scoff when people try to claim calling for justice for Palestine is "antisemitic" when in reality Jewish leaders firm in their faith & Jewish identities proudly and courageously stand up for justice for Palestine BECAUSE THEY KNOW ITS THE RIGHT & MORAL THING TO DO

‼️ The National Park Service has REMOVED mentions of transgender people being involved with Stonewall. Not only did the remove the world "Transgender" but changed "LGBTQ+" to "LGBQ+". The federal government is attempting to erase us and take away our history. This pride, we riot.

This is disgusting, especially for someone who has been given so much power over government programs.

This. This. This.👇

The IRS Direct File program is very popular with the American people. It is not, however, popular with companies that file your taxes for a fee. So I'm sure it's just a coincidence that Marsha Blackburn sided with H&R Block over the American people after taking money from H&R Block's PAC.

not gonna lie—were I potus I would def threaten Canada with ginormous tariffs if it would make them take Ted Cruz back

No, that is not what the Supreme Court ruled. The Supreme Court ruled that the president cannot be criminally prosecuted for official acts. That is a terrible decision, but that is NOT the same thing as saying the President can do anything he wants. The Executive Branch must still follow the law.

This distinction is actually really important because I literally have people telling me that since Trump and Elon don't have to follow the law, they won't either, and believe me THAT IS A TERRIBLE IDEA.

You know, it just may be—I know it’s hard to believe, but please, hear me out—that our felonious president and premier digital rapist may be an gullible, easily manipulated dumbass.

Please understand me when I say this: It is MORE IMPORTANT, not less, to listen to your lawyers and legal support right now if you are doing ANY kind of activism, direct action, or organizing work. It is MORE important. I'm really serious.

BREAKING: if you don’t like what DOGE is doing at Treasury— neither do we So we just sued to stop it! www.citizen.org/wp-content/u... I’ll be on @thereidout tonight at 7:40 PM ET to break down that and much more

UPD Death toll rose to 10 people murdered by russian missile attack on Poltava, Ukraine today

The New Republic has kindly published what the LA Times and its RFK Jr-supporting billionaire owner Pat Soon-Shiong tried to suppress: newrepublic.com/article/1910...

The obvious only correct play for democrat legislators is to just operate as totally obstructionist. Anything short of that is just participating the evil thing. It’s definitely ethically correct but I bet it would also reap greater strategic rewards in 2 years with voters than working with fascists

No one voted for Elon Musk. No one confirmed Elon Musk. Why does he have this level of power over our government?

"We need DOGE to cut your social security and Medicare because the government isn't brining in enough money to afford them." --Elon Musk

Remember when RFK Jr profited off the lie that vaccines cause autism? He’s been doing it for 25+ years. Watch ⬇️ youtu.be/ZZCutMBhjpg?...

Hedge funds are betting big that the stock market is going to suffer a devastating crash due to Donald Trump. Data from Goldman Sachs is sending shockwaves through financial circles, revealing a dramatic surge in 'short' positions against US stocks.

My wife and I are gonna have to review our 401(k) holdings, right away!

It sure didn’t take long for DOGE to get into all sorts of legal trouble.

Private citizens now have access to your most personal data.

Seeing as the DNC included exactly zero trans people, I'm pretty sure Democrats are "them" and not "us"

Perfectly said. We need less talk from Congress about how evil Trump is and more actions to actually stop his fascist acts.

If it were legal to fire you, they wouldn't put so much effort into getting you to resign voluntarily.

➡️ January 20: FAA director fired ➡️ January 21: Air Traffic Controller hiring frozen ➡️ January 22: Aviation Safety Advisory Committee disbanded ➡️ January 28: Buyout/retirement demand sent to existing employees ➡️ January 29: First American mid-air collision in 16 years Making America Great Again!

Hey Bluesky! I’m here. Yes, I’m still a bit stunned by my prescient tweet (below) 14hrs before the tragic DC crash, after which many of you encouraged me to finally gravitate to here. Happy to belatedly join the community. Tom

@karenvowelhoarder.bsky.social Welcome to Blue Sky, Karen! This is Mark Yeager (myeager42). I’ve been here for several months and really like the vibe.

Maybe stop voting to confirm his nominees

Starting to wonder if the administration doesn't actually know what it did and did not freeze tbh.

NEW: How Many Students Have Been Expelled Under Tennessee's School Threat Law? The Data Doesn’t Say. By @aliyyaswaby.bsky.social

by freezing all federal grants, trump is fundamentally transforming the relationship between the executive and congress. he is asserting dictatorial authority over federal spending, transforming congress's lawmaking powers into advisory authority. it is a constitutional crisis

@NBCNews: BREAKING: Federal judge temporarily blocks the Trump administration’s planned federal aid freeze, pausing the plan and setting a hearing for further arguments next week.

A D.C. judged enters an injunction preventing Trump's across-the-board budget freeze from going into effect. He finds irreparable hard and enters a brief (c 3 day) stay to litigate lawfulness of freeze. This is headed to the US Supreme Court, and in short order

Several Quaker congregations are suing the Trump administration over an order lifting a previous policy that had curtailed ICE agents from conducting raids in “sensitive locations,” including schools, hospitals and houses of worship.

I'm not a DNC member so I don't have a vote, but I would vote for @limtim.bsky.social for Finance Chair based only on this pledge to take on ScamPACs and the shitty SMS sludge that's driving people crazy and suppressing Dem enthusiasm.
