Say something to your representatives

We need Pete Buttigieg as a clear messenger, more than ever.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

This is what our Transportation Secretary was doing yesterday as planes are crashing on a near-daily basis. I cannot remember a more dangerous time to fly and yet this reality TV actor-turned-Cabinet Secretary is busy watching cars drive laps at the Daytona 500.

Imagine if @aoc @sanders.senate.gov , every dem, SIMULTANEOUSLY held Town Halls where they allowed grant and contract recipients to explain to the country what it is they do and why it's important Invite all media. Including RW podcasters. @spaces Flood the zone Call it a Day Of Transparency

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942. I know. I was there in those camps.

Attention Pennsylvania Attorney General.

Remember this day. The last full day with a Democratic President. We don’t know when or if we’ll ever live another day like this. 🥺

ICE is planning immigration raids starting Tuesday. Please amplify.

My one wish for the inauguration is that there is a gift bag under the seats of Bezos, Zuck, Elon etc, with a single, embroidered , padded knee pad Need to protect themselves when they are on bended knee, kissing the ring 🤷😆

Sad but true.

Hey, at least they’re giving the land a vote in their maps—finally, representation for dirt and trees!

Good morning and Happy Monday to everyone who agrees the President Biden should NOT consider granting a pardon to Donald trump, no matter what. He STILL refuses to admit he lost in 2020, he's going to pardon the January 6th attackers, and will probably try to pardon himself anyway. FUCK. THAT.

I understand hating opinion columns, I say this as an opinion columnist, but reporting is good and if American democracy is going to survive we desperately need reporting to expose corruption.

Don’t think we forgot.

Today's lesson discusses the American health care system for those in countries where their system provides care for free or reasonable fees. 👇

I don’t take credit for this meme, but I do co-sign.

People not elected to government should not have the power to reshape the government, especially people whose obscene wealth depends on the government functioning a certain way. This is not a hot take. It's just plain common sense.

This doctor’s letter to United Heathcare for denying nausea medication to a child on chemotherapy.

Today would be a great time for our federal government and leaders in Congress to take a hard look at the Insurrection Act and national emergency processes and figure out what their plan is if they are implemented illegally. That would be great guys.

It shouldn’t be ignored that Kash Patel chose to plead the Fifth in response to a grand jury subpoena over the Mar-a-Lago classified documents. He only testified, involuntarily, after being granted immunity. Think about that. Trump’s FBI nominee pled the Fifth in response to a DOJ subpoena.

I am watching with grave concern over the actions of the South Korean president to declare martial law, all because the opposition has blocked his agenda and impeached his cabinet. Democracy is under assault across much of the world. We must be on highest guard here as well as Trump takes office.

I came onto Bluesky an hour ago, and the first two things I saw were posts providing useful context for understanding the imposition of martial law in South Korea—the exact kind of thing that Twitter used to be so useful for in a developing crisis.

Kash Patel is as dangerous a pick for the FBI as Matt Gaetz was at DOJ.

🚨BREAKING: Donald Trump announces Kash Patel as the next FBI Director. If you had any question about whether Trump will prioritize investigating and prosecuting his political enemies, this is your answer.

Here is Trump’s nominee for FBI Director Kash Patel calling for “offensive operations” to jail Americans who they consider “the enemy.” “We will go out and find the conspirators... Yes, we are going to come after the people in the media."

Kash Patel has openly expressed his plans to “come after” journalists he doesn’t like. He is for retribution, not justice. This is from my book, #RoughBeast:

Helpful hotlines today: 1-800-BUTTERBALL - for your Turkey 1-800-662-3263 (Ocean Spray hotline) - for your cranberry sauce 1-800-CALLFBI - for your annoying insurrectionist cousin Happy Thanksgiving.

Don't try to explain

Blue Sky team, you're building something special and great here. Keep at it. Stick with it. And please don't sell it to an evil billionaire who's going to come around waving a lot of money to gobble it up. Sincerely, a Happy Blue Sky user.

Perhaps more of the legacy media should have pushed back on his lies at the time. @democracydocket.com did.

If Americans are in fact afraid to get pregnant right now, it’s the boner killer Republicans who are to blame. youtu.be/tMJg5anayuo?...

America would be a much better place if SOME people would stop freaking out over WHO we love, WHICH bathroom we use, and WHAT we do with our bodies. It is nobody's fucking business but OURS.

FUCK. YEAH. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

When I wrote this in July, some said I was being alarmist. Unfortunately, now I look prescient. "Project 2025 is premised on contempt for constitutional norms and the rule of law. It seeks to reshape American government, law and society for a generation." www.democracydocket.com/opinion/how-...

Tammy Duckworth on Tulsi Gabbard: "I think she's compromised ... Russian controlled media called her a Russian asset."

AWKWARD: Trump's new Deputy Asst. to the President & Sr. Director for Counterterrorism, Sebastian Gorka, on Trump's pick for DNI, Tulsi Gabbard:

For me, the thing that knocked the wind out of me with this election is that I dared to believe America would get it right THIS time, that America was ready for a Woman President. It hurt having that blind faith in neighbors, friends, and strangers smacked out of me. Dammit, America. 😞
