🗣️ @aoc.bsky.social out fighting for the people & federal workers: “Every day our job is to wake up and say ‘what can I do today?’ — There is no act too small. Every action matters.” 🇺🇸

PETE: “What we have to do now is make clear we do want government to work differently and better than it has, but burning it to the ground won’t do that for anyone.”

Pritzker: If we don’t want to repeat history, then for god’s sake, in this moment, we better be strong enough to learn from it.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but we didn't have multiple plane crashes per week under President Biden and Secretary Buttigieg.

Understanding what the courts can do helps us understand what we must do. joycevance.substack.com/p/the-courts...

What a disgrace. Bezos and the newspaper he has destroyed should be grateful that anyone thinks it’s still worthwhile to buy ad space from them. *This* is how democracy dies.

Friendly reminder: there’s plenty of time left to claim up to $1,750 per child with our nation-leading Child Tax Credit.   Last year, we put over $550 million into the pockets of nearly 225,000 families.   Don’t leave money on the table, Minnesota.

Are people finally waking up? The real fight isn’t about bathrooms or drag queens—it’s about who holds power & at whose expense. Culture war is just a distraction, keeping working people too busy fighting each other rather than noticing who’s actually robbing us blind: billionaires—not each other!

Today is a national day of mourning for former President Jimmy Carter. Rest in peace, Jimmy, you've earned it.

The incompetent engineers at SpaceX who create aircraft that explode after takeoff are going to take control of the FAA to make aviation safer. Nothing to see. Everything is fine. GIRL, TAKE GREYHOUND!!!

Musk’s staffers are accessing the heavily guarded Internal Revenue Service (IRS) system, which contains detailed financial information on every taxpayer, business, and nonprofit in the country.

This is where we are now: An elementary school at Fort Campbell has removed all books from its library that so much as *allude* to slavery or the civil rights movement. The wholesale erasure of history in real time.

We’ve gotten almost a foot of snow so far this weekend, which makes the hard work of running a sanctuary even harder. Shoveling, slippery ground, frozen water bowls, treacherous roads, but also… SNOW PIG.

The mass firing bloodbath at HHS continues. We will likely pay for these mistakes in blood of those who could have been saved. www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

“DOGE apparently didn’t understand the workers’ role”—in other words, that the “National Nuclear Security Agency” was an agency having something to do with national nuclear security

We are all in this together 🇨🇦🇺🇲 @beingliberal.bsky.social is dedicated to help #LiberalCanadians to win over their conservative moron Pierre Poilievre. Just look south of the border and ask yourself do you want that much drama, chaos, incompetence, racism, xenophobia and misogyny go.bsky.app/LRNzt5Z

This is what oligarchy looks like.

This cartoon by @mluckovich.bsky.social is getting banned on Twitter. Because of course it is.

this. by the thousands. every time they slink out of their den. everywhere they do it. #MakeAutocracyGoneAgain

History doesn’t repeat itself, but it often rhymes…

If you claim to be a leader but are too scared to lead, fine -- sit down and let someone else take your place. It is easy to be bold when there is no threat. Now is a time for courage. www.cnn.com/2025/02/16/p...

Letters went out to federal workers this morning stating they were fired due to poor performance. However, all employees had been rated as “exceptional” performers by their supervisors. Please keep these records and pursue wrongful termination claims. Let the lawsuits begin.

Question for the masses: How do you pronounce D.O.G.E.? Is it like "Dough" with a hard g at the end, or a soft g? Or is Dough Gee? Or is it like "doggy?" Or is it little punk ketamine fueled post-adolescent assholes?

Count me in, ladies!! 💙💙
