Keep up the pressure!

May is Mental Health Awareness month. My union offers mental health care along with physical healthcare because they go hand in hand. I am so glad I chose to be a union member. Support unions #VoteBlue2025 #wtpBLUE #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue

"No person shall...be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law" Fifth Amendment, US Constitution It doesn't say "no citizen" It specifically dictates "no PERSON" If Trump can choose whether a PERSON is entitled to Constitutional protections American democracy is over

It would be a mistake to view the Chinese people's skyrocketing quality of life as miraculous or extraordinary. Beijing made some very clever decisions over the years, but ultimately it's just doing the *normal* thing: spending the nation's wealth on the public instead of on war.

Some expected. Some surprises. www.newsweek.com/donald-trump...

Has any reporter actually asked Trump about his obviously corrupt crypto bribe scheme?

Larry Itliong (1913-1977), was a Filipino American labor organizer and civil rights activist. He is one of the founders of the United Farm Workers, which orchestrated the 1965-66 Delano grape strike and boycott. #AAPIHeritageMonth

Marching matters—but it’s not all we do. We organize. Protect. Boycott. Educate. We leak, strike, disrupt, build sanctuaries. They count on our exhaustion. But we refuse. We fight. We prepare. We don’t wait for permission. We do the work. #MomSky

It’s only May 4th. 100 years have passed since Jan 20th. As my amazing friend @zen4ever2us.bsky.social said, “This isn’t a sprint. This isn’t a marathon. It’s a relay race.” We all need to take turns fighting & resting. We’re in this together & we need to take care of each other. ❤️ #MomSky

We hadn’t won World War II by May 8th. I know because my family and I were still in an internment camp in Tule Lake, California.

Ours, by a mile.

Big CONGRATS to Mike for his phenomenal win! 👇 Enjoy. 😎✨

Exactly. This worm brained junkie has SOOO much blood on his hands

Trump issued an exec order instructing the Corp for Public Broadcasting to HALT ALL FUNDING for PBS & NPR, calling them "radical left monsters that so badly hurt our country." Pls join me in sending an email to your House Rep HERE 👇🏼 1/2 protectmypublicmedia.org/rsc-emails/

WELKER: Your secretary of state says everyone who's here, citizens and non-citizens, deserve due process. Do you agree? TRUMP: I don't know. I'm not a lawyer. I don't know. WELKER: Don't you need to uphold the Constitution? TRUMP: I don't know

“Do not mock us.”

This administration is basically doing Hunter Biden corruption at an industrial scale. And whereas there was no evidence Joe Biden in any way benefitted from Hunter's shenanigans, the current President's family business is raking in the payoffs. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

When I voted for Kamala, I was saying: I care about Gaza AND you. When others voted for Stein, they were saying: We care about Gaza, BUT NOT you. See the difference. Rational people understood the financial and political constraints on Kamala, and also understood that she would be a FAR

Participants "will reportedly surrender every device—phones, smartwatches, laptops. The doors will be sealed. Even the floorboards are being replaced with ones that block cell phone signals." That's the papal conclave; the Pentagon is a different story.

Australia told their far right Trumpees to get lost last night. Ran them completely out of town, just like Canada. A wave of rejection is starting for these guys all around the world — America’s next.

They entered the US legally They were “doing it right,” following all the rules They had no criminal records-either in the US or Venezuela Some already been approved as refugees Yet they were bound in chains and sent to a foreign gulag nonetheless We are being governed by monsters

Katy, Fort Bend, Lake Travis, Mansfield and Grapevine Colleyville all prevented extremist candidates from winning their school board elections tonight. A victory for book lovers in Texas! 💕💕

We need leaders who act like the opposition party. And Doug Jones nails it—something we have been saying too: the Democratic Party can’t just rest on hatred for Trump. They need to give people something to vote for. Democrats need to “offer a better vision for America.” — @dougjones.bsky.social

Your School House Rock moment...🤔

For a little joy, check out the dress my husband made for our daughter for her birthday. They picked out the (lemon!) fabric and the pattern together, and he's spent every night since then piecing and pinning and sewing and tailoring it to get it just right. Oh, and it even has pockets ❤️

Imagine your most entitled shit student who doesn't do the reading because he's convinced he's smarter than the professor. Now put him in charge of Social Security.

“My Republican friends” Jesus Christ, get bent

The Sustainable Energy & Environment Coalition: Trump's first 100 days has been the most harmful 100 days of ANY administration for climate, clean energy, public health, conservation, & beyond. Congress is fighting back, but we need more INFORMED Americans in the fight. 🗣️PLEASE SHARE OFF BSKY, TOO!

And this, my dear friends, is the heart of MAGA: We get credit for all the good and take none of the responsibility for the bad.

While kids die of measles, RFK Jr. is pushing vitamins and cod liver oil instead of vaccines that are 97% effective. It’s not just junk science — it’s deadly negligence from a health secretary who’d rather coddle conspiracy theorists than save lives.

This!! 🎯 @betoorourke.bsky.social nails it. Hell, Texas has 40 electoral votes yet we’re consistently ignored. The Democratic Party MUST engage with every state and every constituent! 👏🏽 That begins with a new Dem leader willing to *take action* and fight for ALL of us! STEP DOWN CHUCK

RFK’s belief system should not affect my healthcare

Repeat after me: Local elections matter — yes, all the way down to school boards. Keep running & fighting EVERYWHERE. Well done, Mansfield! 👏👏👏

Loved this woman at the May 1st rally here in Santa Fe!!

Here’s a video of Bernie Sanders 21 years ago explaining how the Republicans win even though no one likes their policies. How Republicans split and divide and win. #MomSky #Voices4Victory

"Trump family's net worth has increased by $2.9 billion thanks to crypto bribe corruption." www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-f...

Trump was asked if he has to uphold the Constitution. He said “I don’t know”

Donald Trump is going after small donor fundraising platforms that support progressive candidates, because he knows that while he might have the billionaires, we have the people on our side.

Sorry to burst bubbles BUT so far only 2% of Trump voters regret their votes. They like seeing people hurt under Trump’s authoritarianism even if they’re hurt, too. Stop the kumbaya, we the people who love Democracy need to get louder and visible #StopTheFascist www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The current administration has no respect for anyone FOTUS calls the fallen Suckers and Losers He has no respect for anyone! Disgraceful! #MomSky #Voices4Victory

The "Liberal Media" Is a MYTH!

📌Democrat Sheldon Whitehouse missed tonight's vote that would have put a check on Trump's damn tariffs, and he owes everybody a damn explanation RIGHT NOW.

72M Americans rely on Medicaid. 41% of US births are paid for by Medicaid. Medicaid is nursing home care primary payer, affecting patients & their adult children. Estimated 36M could lose healthcare coverage as a result of the Republican bill. Protest!
