“It won’t be your child’s teacher sending an email home asking for boxes of tissue; it will be that your child’s school might close completely.” #txlege

Folks are asking, “what should I do in this moment?” One of the most passionate, progressive voices in Congress for 30 years, Oregon Sen. Ron Wyden answers that question. Here’s our conversation, inside a replica of the Senate chamber at the Edward M. Kennedy Institute: youtu.be/n_nQ-Moa9fI?...

WYOMING: “Thank you, Madam chairman.” “I prefer ‘Mister’ chairman.” “Well you all voted preferred pronouns cannot be compelled speech.”

JB Pritzer NAILED it! "We don't have kings in America, and I don't intend to bend the knee to one."

Greg Abbott calls his voucher scam “school choice.” But we already have school choice—neighborhood schools, charters, magnets, academies & more. Vouchers don’t give us choice. Vouchers give our tax dollars to unaccountable private schools that can discriminate against our kids.

My heart breaks for Jocelynn Rojo Carranza’s family and every child living in fear. I pray for their healing, and that her loss isn’t in vain. May those who push hate and division be moved to change. No more indifference. Words have consequences – our kids deserve better.

Hero!! Thank you, sir.

Democratic Rep. Robert Garcia has published a letter sent to him by Trump’s Department of Justice threatening to potentially prosecute him for criticizing Elon Musk.

My friend Mary @maryrosewood.bsky.social is bringing back “Today on the Hill,” a series she did in Trump 1.0 on Facebook. She has now made an account here and everyone should follow her. Her insights are truly priceless and she’s doing the lords work in South Cackalacky!

Republicans want to kill your grandparents. They want to cut Medicaid by nearly a trillion bucks so billionaires keep more money in their accounts. Medicaid pays for nursing home care.

Free speech is so important to the fabric of our nation that it is in the very First Amendment. This is the GULF OF MEXICO.

Hey all. This is just a reminder. Take care of yourselves. Take time to breathe. Go for a walk. Talk to family and friends. Play a game. Watch a show. Be mindful of your stress levels. Withdraw if you need to. Then come back to the fight. Love y’all.

Crockett: "Down in Alabama, who's broke. Down in Louisiana, who's broke. I can go through pretty much the entire south and tell you that they're broke and rely on a lot of welfare from the government. To be perfectly honest, it is tax dollars from these big blue states...we're in the find out phase"

NEW: Pregnancy became far more dangerous in Texas after the state banned abortion, according to ProPublica’s first-of-its-kind analysis, which found the sepsis rate for women hospitalized as they miscarried in the 2nd trimester shot up by more than 50%. https://propub.li/43487Tj

40 years ago, it would have been unthinkable for the president of the United States to repeat Russian propaganda about Ukraine. It's remarkable how far we have fallen with Donald Trump.

One month after Apartheid Clyde’s Space X exploded over the Caribbean & left toxic waste in the ocean this was filmed over St.Thomas USVI last night. He doesn’t care what he destroys. Residents reported a spray raining down. Billionaires can do what ever they want & get away with! #DemCast

I know none of us were old enough to learn this firsthand, but, remember that rats/mice/fleas are why 2/3 of Europe died of the Plague. You know; your Ancestors (mostly referring to wypipo, and some Spanish people) were the ones who survived it.

Dear third-party voters, you’ve been awfully quiet. What’s up? What’s the game plan for the next 3 years and 11 months? Asking for 75,017,626 friends who did the right thing because we wanted to avoid all of this shit!!!

#DonaldTrump is a CAPITULATOR who’s been played by #Putin 🇷🇺 #Trump is demanding an election for Ukraine President 🇺🇦# #VolodymyrZelenskyy before negotiations whilst #Putin has been a DICTATOR for 25-years, yet #Trump doesn’t demand democratic reforms from #Putin www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

You can’t be “pro-life” and also be against gun control and universal healthcare

I wonder how the “pro-life” party feels about this

I just filed a constitutional amendment to protect access to abortion & contraception. Banning abortion isn’t pro-life, it’s anti-liberty. No party should control your medical decisions. Texans deserve the freedom to make their OWN decisions about their bodies & their futures.

#SaveTXSchools Rally at the Capitol in Austin. Saturday, February 22nd. #DemCast #TXLege

Because this worked so well in the Houston ISD. Funny thing... the South San Antonio district is in another blue county.

🚨Senator Tammy Baldwin: "Last night, the president said 'I'm not touching Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, VA, I'm not touching them.' By this morning, he endorsed House budget resolution & paves the way for massive cuts to Medicaid." Medicaid affects 70M+ Americans. THIS WOULD BE DEVASTATING!🚨

Please follow TX State Representative @bucyfortexas.bsky.social. He continues fighting for us in Austin. Thank you John!

THIS is the person we need on the Wisconsin State Supreme Court! Someone who will uphold the law and the constitution! 🗳️ VOTE for Susan Crawford on April 1.

Recognized my uniform, but not that I'm Black. You know, because of the Colour-blindness. *out loud DOUBLE WINK*

Impersonating @wolfiesmom.bsky.social! Please report! I was so excited thinking that she had followed me back but nope!
