'The path to Auschwitz was paved with indifference.'

ICE isn't "deporting" immigrants, it is kidnapping them. DOGE isn't "fixing" the government, it is dismantling it. Trump isn't "helping" Americans, he is retaliating against them. Pam Bondi isn't "upholding" the Constitution, she is ignoring it.

Nearly every medical advance we rely on would not exist without curiosity-driven research at universities and nonprofit institutes. Cutting these investments does not save money; it impoverishes our future. @ardemp.bskyverified.social 🧪 edition.cnn.com/2025/04/09/h...

No matter how deeply unqualified Kenndy is - this shitstorm belongs solely to the Republican Senators. Everyone knew that 🍊💩’s nominees would be a disaster. But by confirming them the Senate owns every single screw up. Every day. Every one.

Next planned 50501 protest! April 19th! #protest #nationwide #USA #50states #50501Protests #queersky #lgbtqia #witchsky #pagansky /|\ #gaypride #lgbtqia+

This morning’s #tarot pull was very enlightening and comforting, given today’s schedule. I doubt it’s coincidental. #witchsky

It's time to take action!

I’m hearing from Social Security recipients in MA who’ve been marked as "not currently receiving payments,” on the Social Security website. Social Security is something you are legally entitled to. Elon's attack on Social Security is illegal—and it's hurting people.

No cuts here…

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

Congratulations to Judge Susan Crawford on her victory, and to the people of Wisconsin for electing a judge who believes in the rule of law and protecting our freedoms.

Today’s Unrequested Advice…

1/ Rolling Stone's Lindsay Owens takes us back to the largest political corruption scandal in American history: the Teapot Dome scandal of the Warren G. Harding administration.

TODAY’S UNREQUESTED ADVICE …

Things Democratic Senators could do that would be useful: - Withdraw unanimous consent from all Senate business until constitutional rule was restored - Refuse to vote for any legislation until constitutional rule was restored - Boycott as a caucus until constitutional rule was restored

WE CAN DO IT! We can GET IT BACK! Amplify it, pass it on, tell your friends, we are living history, Be PART of IT. We NEED YOU!

It’s going to get infinitely dumber.

If I wore hats. I think I’d like a collection of red hats with white letters with not-MAGAt phrases.

My friends husband runs a dept (HIV research) at CDC. 18 years with numerous patents and publications. He called her last week to ask that she go to the grocery to get food & juice for the monkeys because THEY FIRED THE VETERINARIANS.

A note of positivity in government function: I had to go in person to renew my drivers license. I filled out a the application online last night, was at the office when it opened, and had necessary docs with me. It took 20 minutes, including the eye test. Got a decent new photo, too!
