Lowering my cortisol levels... Policies & laws that affect our lives & our world are vital to understand & to protect, or to protest as needed. I sing, act, & write. Still with Kamala & Tim. #TheResistance #Indivisible #DemVoice1 #WeThePeopleFORReal

Call to Action: Protest against Trump and fascism. Los Angeles, California. February 22 at 12PM "Your voice matters" #3E #USProtest #ProtestCA #Feb22

The 85th day of continuous protests against the Kremlin backed government in Georgia. (📹 @vatless ) #3E #EndOligarchy #GeorgiaProtests

I’ll never forget courageous students at Virginia Commonwealth University walking out of their own commencement ceremony last year to protest against KKK GOPer Glenn Youngkin as he was speaking. This is how all GOP fascists should be treated.

Nancy Mace is, among other things, just painfully stupid.

all that follow me know i do special boost every night the first is @occupyshasta.bsky.social Show love and follow and repost!

Seems legit.... We don't want to be a nation of underachieving Americans.

Lake Superior is now officially known as “The Gulf of Canada”

Millions of Americans rely on Medicaid for healthcare. Cutting it to fund tax cuts for billionaires is a betrayal. Call 866-426-2631 & demand Congress protects Medicaid! Don't Cut My Medicaid

Remember, T-Mobile has signed up with Starlink, and Apple might just be around the corner: www.reuters.com/business/us-...

I will use every tool at my disposal to protect this country from Trump. I will litigate to defend voting rights until there are no cases left to bring. I will speak out against authoritarianism until my last breath. I will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey.

RECONCILIATION, MUTHAFUKERS!!

A defining policy battle is about to come to a head in this country. The Republican budget will force everyone - especially Congress and the White House - to make plain whether they are prepared to harm the rest of us in order to fund tax cuts for the wealthiest.

Whether in the courts or by way of pressure on the Trump Administration, DEMAND evidence of these claims of fraud and waste. You’d think Trump would be running to Congress & to court to show what they’ve found, and yet…crickets 🦗

REMEMBER: Next Friday, February 28. NOT 1 PENNY SPENT. We can do this. I'm IN, are you? 👋💙

I don't think we're talking enough about the fact that the pressure to remove DEI from science means women die.

The Pentagon will fire 5,400 civilian workers next week.

👏👏👏👏

That sounds like a plan that I can get on board with! 🤭😅🤣

If you look closely, you’ll notice I’ve been wearing the same shirt on all my national appearances. This is not because I am a slovenly gamer (even though that’s what I am), it’s a very deliberate decision. This is the shirt.

ProPublica has released another study related to the effects of abortion bans in the U.S., this time showing a spike in sepsis cases in Texas following the implementation of that state's "heartbeat" abortion ban in 2021.

There have never been kings in America. The monarchy doesn't start now.

In a small trial, nearly half of pancreatic cancer patients who received an mRNA vaccine had no signs of relapse after three years. Dr. Vinod Balachandran from @mskcancercenter.bsky.social joins us to discuss the results and what they could mean for cancer treatment.

For me, not using your vehicle's turn signal is a lot like not returning the shopping cart in that I think you're a beast who doesn't deserve to live in society. Like you can't literally lift a finger to make the roads safer for yourself and everyone else? Go live in the woods and drink creek water.

BREAKING: Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio was arrested TODAY near the U.S. Capitol by Capitol Police. As Tarrio was walking away from a rally, he knocked the phone out of the hands of a heckler. Police immediately took Tarrio into custody. GOOD!

If you don’t think Trump is taking over the US Mail to do away with mail-in voting, you haven’t been paying attention.

🇺🇦 63% of Ukrainians support Zelensky's activities, and 74% consider him a patriot, according to a study by IBIF

when bluesky goes public are they gonna be $BSKY or $SKT

There’s something happening in this country.

This is a drug addict who can barely put together a sentence.

Tonight Trump fired the black general who served as chair of joint chief of staff. And Pete Hegseth fired as Chief of Naval Operations Lisa Franchetti. She made history in 2023 when she became first woman to lead the Navy. Trump is erasing people of color and women. How long will you take this?!

The 'find out' phase is here.

If we have enough people with the knowledge and moral fortitude of Maine Governor Janet Mills, and the Associated Press- we might be able to save our Democracy

Anyone else see that Cybertruck stuck in the snow while the Honda Fit drives right past it? Pretty much sums up America vs rest of the world.

that Trumpers think the US Postal *SERVICE* should be a profit-making enterprise exposes the fallacy in their conception of government

How does firing Americans help make America great again? Cutting 5-8% of the workers is unproductive and harmful to our economy and society. This is just simply reckless and unsustainable. www.cnn.com/2025/02/21/p...
