No one can deny this is a full blown Constitutional crisis. Please tell everyone you meet. This is not a drill. Gifted Judge Rules the White House Failed to Comply With Court Order www.nytimes.com/2025/02/10/u... #DemocracyNotDictatorship #USDemocracy #DemVoice1

As we continue to struggle with what we see is happening to our friends and family – it's clear to me that we are being traumatized as a nation. If you buy into the lie when that doesn't happen and you realize that what you believed was false is incredibly painful.

Even in difficult times this planet is so beautiful. It's also really fucking cold here.

Here is my favorite girl! She is messing up the kitchen table... but I let her because I love her!

Three special elections this spring will be the first chance for voters to weigh in on Trump's 2nd term. Let's show MAGA we're still here and we aren't going anywhere. Donate to our Democratic candidates for open seats with this link. Please share! secure.actblue.com/donate/speci... .

We know what we need to stand against but what are we putting in its place? Who is stepping up to fill a void that could happen? When we know what we can put in place then we can empower that otherwise we're just complaining.

WOW... just wow! This is what we need to do!

Beauty!

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court GRANTS sweeping nationwide injunction against Trump DEI executive orders finding that they violate First and Fifth Amendments to the Constitution.

Killer Klown. 🤡

I’m encouraged by these town halls but I also remember very clearly how this happened in 2017 as well. Instead of responding to the complaints, they stopped doing them. www.washingtonpost.com/news/powerpo...

This is how it’s done.

Medicaid coverage for virtual visits ends April 1st. As someone who cares for children that live up to 8 hours away, this is DEVASTATING. Children, adults, elderly will all suffer. CALL YOUR REPRESENTATIVES The 5 calls app makes it easy!

🚨 ALERT 🚨 SLASHING MEDICAID = MILLIONS OF FAMILIES STARVING OR SICK! Forced to pick: Healthcare or food? NO ONE should face this nightmare! Don’t Cut My Medicaid! 😡💥

The Georgia Republican who recently told CNN that school kids should be sent to work to earn school lunches was met with outrage and fury from residents at a local town hall meeting on Thursday night.

I am very politically active and write/call my congressman often. I have lived in his district for almost 2 decades. I have never seen him in person and it’s not for a lack of trying. No town halls. No visiting his district. I’ve never seen hide nor hair of Sam Graves.

”The beauty of the Imagination Library is that it unites us all regardless of politics because every child deserves the chance to dream big and succeed." Under the program, children receive a free book once a month until the age of 5 almost like it’s coming… www.thedailybeast.com/dolly-parton...

Always stand up to a bully

Jonathan Pie never disappoints. Sadly he's only ever preaching to the choir because Farage bootlickers cannot fathom being wrong... Much like MAGAs.

As democracy disappears into the American sunset, we have a placard-of-the-year contender already! And it's still only February.

Quite a lot of kids will know a fair bit of science. Adults, too. Surely the problem is the tendrils of capitalism's religion reaching all corners of earth? Institutionalised Indoctrination. God save the King. In God we trust. God bless America. #GodIsUnproven #GodIsIllogical #GodIsImpossible

I've got a book JUST FOR THIS. You can read it in 12 hours. Enough people openly discuss it and governments WILL listen. They'll have to. #ZenAndTheArtOfSavingLifeOnEarth

This is what we all should remember.

@kenmartin.bsky.social, however much is going on behind the scenes, the visible response from Dems as a whole - some exceptions - has been too quiet by several decibels. I would like to see consistent messaging on 1) The effect of tariffs. I got a 10% tariff on my heating oil now, at -9F. 2) This:

2 hours to Cedar Park is deeply disturbing As is 10 minutes to Cedar Park

Here are the approximate snow amounts needed for total driver panic in various locations: Buffalo: 12" Colorado: 9" Ohio: 6" Austin: 0.1"

I'll say this until the day I exit this mortal coil: Hot weather is a shitload better than cold weather

Don't normalize using the politically calculated term "School Choice" Call it "Taxpayer Funded Private School Vouchers"

RIP Irony, you had a good run
