I am part of the 25%.

This is the only King we should be talking about. Along with MLK, of course. But not the orange guy.

If you ever needed proof that terms limits are a good idea, this would be good evidence.

This is terrible. Teachers in NC are already underpaid and now this?

ICYMI yesterday and props to @gwynnefitz.bsky.social who first reported the actual story, not the lie Tim Pearson shared: Adams Aide Tim Pearson Committed Misconduct in Violent Shelter Showdown, DOI Probe Finds www.thecity.nyc/2025/02/20/a... @gregbsmithnyc.bsky.social

@freethinkersunited.bsky.social Thank you for your starter pack. Would love to see you do more packs to connect us.

Well said - do more than nothing.

Legal superstar @marcelias.bsky.social wrote an open letter to Elon Musk. And it's a must-read. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/my-o...

Not exactly what I expect from the NY Post, but it’s welcome truth.

Great explanation of why we need scientists to inform our decisions about certain federal programs. The programs don't (or shouldn't) just be based on an idea, but grounded in fact, or here science.

Virginia's legislature has passed a bill that will make it illegal for insurers to make up their own criteria for medical necessity determinations for mental health and substance abuse services. this is a huge win

Just disbar these guys what the fuck are you waiting for ABA

This post by Jay Kao includes a powerful statement by Marc Elias that tells his origin story and why he's in this fight for voting rights. I'm proud to be @marcelias.bsky.social ally through my voting rights work at VoteRiders. @voteriders.bsky.social substack.com/@jaykuo/note...

WOW — there’s a stat that every single American should know.

JFC indeed.

I did an event in IN a few weeks ago where I said that on 1/6/21 Mike Pence saved the country (for now) by being one of very very few who stood by his principles under maximum threat.

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 the House budget resolution which paves the way for massive cuts to Medicaid."

Translation: Trump has offered the United States to the Saudis for 1 Trillion Dollars.

Okay by me that he is willing to relax the security and safety standards for the planes he's going to fly in. But he sounds like a petulant child, throwing a tantrum over a new toy. ✈️ THIS is his focus, instead of reducing prices on groceries as he promised.

This man is a patriot and hero of America.

Doing great 👍

The courage of transgender icons to stand up for LGBTQ+ rights will not be erased by this petty tyrant. Cis-washing our national history is a betrayal of those who put their health and liberty on the line for greater equality. www.cbsnews.com/amp/newyork/...

Trump can’t stand the idea that Zelenskyy is fighting a brutal war, defending his country and still has his people’s support. Trump is fighting for nothing (except for himself and his rich friends) and yet has lower approval ratings. So he lies, as expected.

Republican pollster Frank Luntz debunks Trump’s lie about zelensky’s approval numbers, points out they’re actually higher than Trump’s 👇🏽

If Trump started putting people in concentration camps would Americans rise up? Wait, Trump is already doing that with his new penal colony in Guantanamo Bay. If you think Trump is going to stop with just sending migrants there, you are denying history. Next will be Trump's critics he dubs a threat

A new government tracker claims DOGE has saved billions from ending federal contracts. But an NPR analysis of the data finds the claimed savings don't add up.

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage.

Jamie Raskin: "Given that I was marching at age 3, you know I’m not letting any coup-plotting, election-denying, insurrection-supplying autocrat, kleptocracy, plutocrat or theocrat, or any techno-feudalist Silicon Valley broligarchs aspiring dictator, turn me around now.” Amen!!

I just watched an ad for Sarah Huckabee Sanders’ reelection bid for governor of Arkansas. She claims Arkansas was the top state people are moving to but it’s not true, they’re not even in the top five. Arkansas voters, why not elect a governor who will tell the truth? What else is she lying about?
