“We can disagree and still love each other unless your disagreement is rooted in my oppression and denial of my humanity and right to exist” James Baldwin

Maybe if @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social spent less time on a book tour promoting his new book, and more time rallying the people to save our democracy with every ounce of ferocity and tenacity required, this fascist coup would already be over.

I’m telling you @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, please watch this. This is the energy. Not egg prices and book tours and strongly worded letters. It’s time to take the gloves off.

He should be our messenger.

I want every Democrat to sound like this. Meanwhile I'm listening to the sounds of (congressional) silence.

The reporters at Texas Observer have been doing incredible investigative work lately, the kind of work that places like the WaPo used to do with a much larger budget before it got bought up and then slowly hollowed out by a billionaire sycophant who'd rather go into space than live in a democracy.

This is correct.

We know who the villains are in this coup. But so many heroes are showing up to oppose them, and many of them are federal employees, including judges. I give you supreme boss-hero champion Judge Ana Reyes, telling Team Trump they don't know shit and schooling them in the facts about gender and sex.

Know your enemy: at the encouragement of several followers, I spent the last week digging into not only Curtis Yarvin, but also the PayPal Mafia and their racist, eugencist upbringing. I recommend you take a little time to learn who these men really are so you can learn how to defeat their coup.

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

JD Vance is so nauseatingly unlikeable that he’s literally dragging down the AfD’s approval rating

Oh, look what normal countries do when a former president leads a far right coup attempt.

🚨BREAKING: In 4-3 decision, Wisconsin Supreme Court reverses lower court decision and DISMISSES voter suppression lawsuit. A big victory for our clients the WI Alliance for Retired Americans and voting rights in Wisconsin. Another stinging loss for the GOP! www.democracydocket.com/cases/wiscon...

This is the way… “The elected officials in Washington have to stop protesting in Washington. They have to go back to their districts…show the consequences…show the school that isn’t operating…they have to make it real.” With social media, word will spread to neighboring districts—even red ones.

Our favourite bickering siblings (of sorts), Sulwe (left) and Lenny (right), are constantly trying to outwit and outshine each other. They turn the midday milk feed into a fierce race to the finish line, stout legs pumping and ears flapping. It’s far too contentious to pick a winner so it's a draw!

This is where we are now: An elementary school at Fort Campbell has removed all books from its library that so much as *allude* to slavery or the civil rights movement. The wholesale erasure of history in real time.

Portuguese editorial cartoonist Zez Vaz reaches back to Tiananmen Square to call on American defiance.

Good read. THIS is the energy I want from the Democratic Party!

This is probably the most accurate take.

Arielle Kane was an analyst at the Centers for Medicaid and Medicare.

Reminder: as we watch the world’s wealthiest man play President, he’s planning on spending millions in Democratic primaries in 2026 and beyond to elect conservatives. The DNC must move to banning corporate and dark money in Democratic primaries. ASAP.

Thanks to Elon Musk and DOGE, our adversaries now have access to sensitive information about one of our intelligence agencies. Elon Musk and DOGE staff should NOT have access to sensitive national security information. www.huffpost.com/entry/elon-m...

The #ThursdayMassacre continues. 💪🏻

Precisely this: the Musk is saying, "Let them eat cake!" and MAGA genuinely believe they're about to be fed cake.

This is all a good reminder that, “no help, no votes until the criminal conduct stops” is neither a big ask nor a politically perilous one.

How much Elon Musk makes from the government a day: $8 million. How much a senior on Social Security gets a day: $65 Guess which budget Musk and Trump want to cut?

I don’t know about y’all, but I’m starting to think the only thing that kept the planes from crashing before was diversity.
