We are in a Constitutional crisis: Dr. Rasha Alawieh is a transplant surgeon from Lebanon, a Professor at Brown, trained in USA, here on a valid H1-B, zero criminal record, & Trump regime arrested her anyway. A judge ordered a block to her deportation. Trump deported her anyway. These are fascists.

These are the senators who collaborated with the GOP. Schumer Fetterman Cortez Masto Durbin King Shaheen Gillibrand Schatz Hassan Peters Don’t let them forget it. No peace for them.

Things are moving quickly, but it looks like these Sen's especially need calls from *constituents* to vote NO on cloture: Angus King (ME) Amy Klobuchar (MN) Jacky Rosen (NV) Brian Schatz (HI) Maggie Hassan (NH) Jeanne Shaheen (NH) Gary Peters (MI) Capitol switchboard is 202-224-3121.

This is really bad. There has long been censorship in this country, but this is an escalation that needs to be seen for the reduction of first amendment rights that it is.

Last year, Republicans silenced her. This year, many stood beside her and defeated four anti-trans bills. This is the power of standing up for your beliefs and for what's right, and good trouble. National Democrats, take notice. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Can someone with more TikTok skills than I make a "two clips that give the same energy" vid with the scene of Glinda performatively changing her name and a pan through the Dems in their pink suits at the SOTU? Many thanks. #wicked #sotu

"They'll never cut Social Security" is the new "they'll never overturn Roe v Wade."

Almost done reading "doppelgänger" by @naomiaklein.bsky.social and now I'm watching Barbie and can't help but see the shadowlands everywhere. Oh and also, Severance is totally a doppelgänger show too. Need someone to process these things with! #booksky

Nothing to add here, @hiphopprez.bsky.social.

We’re cooked

Wrote a little op-ed that was published in the print version of the @pikespeakbulletin.bsky.social this week. The Christian nationalist agenda to legislate their faith as the law of the land is sinful and anti-Christ.

Roses are red May our bonds never sever To take down these fascists Solidarity forever

House Republicans have unveiled a draft budget resolution that calls for $4.5 trillion in tax breaks that benefit the rich while proposing $2 trillion in cuts to Medicaid, federal nutrition assistance, and other programs.

🚨 House Republicans just unveiled their budget: $4.5 trillion in tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy and corporations, paid for by slashing $2 trillion from health care, food assistance, and other critical programs. Voters across party lines overwhelmingly oppose these cuts.

With CDC removal of trans data, its important I use my platform to support research in this space. Emory is doing a virtual study on HIV+ trans-fem individuals and working on shaping viral load testing for this population, with some compensation. If it applies to you, here's the link to enroll:

When Trump was sworn in, Elon Musk's corporations were under more than 32 investigations conducted by at least 11 federal agencies. Most of the cases are now closed or likely to be closed soon, and the federal agencies are being defanged by DOGE. Funny how that works, huh?

Having a heck of a time trying to talk to someone at the @unitedchurch.bsky.social pension board about my investment accounts having holdings in Tesla, Meta, BlackRock, etc. Clergy from other denoms, are your investments also supporting oligarchs? #progessiveclergy

My review of "Gulf of America" on Google Maps. I encourage all of y'all to troll this all day.

People should definitely not rate this place with only 1 star. maps.app.goo.gl/sP89fokrJZiL...

Read this thread.

The number to call in Colorado if you see any ICE activity is 1.844.864.8341. Put it in your phones. #chingalamigra

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024. You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right? Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year. You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.

A small group of greedy, racist…[insert every other “...ist”]…billionaires are illegally taking over the lawful, democratic government of the United States of America. Read how to be bold, be loud, be prophetic: www.juniperformation.org/blog/this-is... #DemandAction #DontComply #GetOrganized

@liturgygeek.bsky.social you can add me to the UCC starter pack!

Around 35% of SpaceX’s revenue comes directly from the federal govt. Less than 1% of NPR’s budget comes from the federal govt.

Exhibit 132412352521 of "we told you this would happen" Trans sports bans make it more likely that cis girls will be abused by child predators.

Something we need to instill in our kids is civic responsibility. Like, ok little dude. You are you and your body is yours. But you are also part of a community and you have to be a good neighbor. It is kind of your responsibility to care for other people.

I don’t want y’all on here talking about who “deserves it”. A lot of people are getting what they paid for, but they don’t “deserve it” No one deserves to live under authoritarianism. Just like no one deserves to starve. You can fight for justice while acknowledging that people deserve rights.

Y'all, there may be a ceasefire in Gaza but the genocide is being transitioned to the West Bank.

The staffer who answered the phone at Rep. Jeff Crank's COS office was incredibly dismissive of my concerns about Musk + DOGE having access to the Treasury. Maybe y'all should call + annoy + educate him too. (719) 520-0055. #copolitics

One of my party facts is that according to polls, Americans believe foreign aid is about 25% of the federal budget and on average that it *should* be about 10%. The actual number is less than 1%. Foreign aid has long been a boogey man of the right, so it's not surprising they're vilifying it now.

Yes totally cool that a 19-year-old who called his deleted LinkedIn "Big Balls," where he lists his experience working as a camp counselor can access the entire US federal payment system without anyone looking into his background, for instance, his Russian national close relatives or anything else

This is the single most important thing I've read lately, by @chenoweth.bsky.social & Dr. Zoe Marks www.hks.harvard.edu/publications...

Hi. Jewish person here. These are concentration camps and should be called that by everyone.

Hey, trans folks, I love you. You're divine and good and worthy of care and life and delight and joy and all that is bright and wonderful.

Nearly half of Americans say they’re living paycheck to paycheck. You are so much closer to needing the programs Trump wants to cut (aid for food, housing, healthcare, disaster relief) than you are to being one of the billionaires and CEOs he’s giving tax breaks to.

Your regular reminder that the first known clinic to offer gender-affirming surgeries was … destroyed by Nazis. In 1933. (Magnus Hirschfeld’s Institut für Sexualwissenschaft.) They always come for trans people first.

He'd rather make everyone's lives more difficult + expensive than figure out how to treat migrants with respect + dignity. #eviliswhatevildoes

I’m telling everyone: Do not open the door or say a word unless you’re expecting someone and know exactly who it is. Know your rights. Pass these around…
