This whole country wants bad things for others more than they want good things for themselves.

Ready Fire Aim is a lousy way to govern.

I am nauseated thinking about this parasite!

When I saw the disgusting "trump Gaza" video this morning, the bile rose to my throat. I won't share it. Instead, help me promote this counter narrative by Tala, from Gaza. "Gaza is not yours to take. Gaza is ours, and we are still here. This is our land." BRAVO to her strength and DEFIANCE. 🥹💪

My husband @robertcooper-us.bsky.social and I were the FIRST gay couple to adopt children in the US, way back in 1985. We went on to adopt five wonderful kids — all adopted at birth. They’ve grown so much! Here’s a pic from our wedding in 2000, and a recent one including their significant others. ❤️

🤬 McConnell's legacy is that his vote to ACQUIT Trump in his impeachment, is the reason America now has a LUNATIC in the WH. 🚨 The Two Warring Legacies of Mitch McConnell It was McConnell who gave Trump the POWER to BURN it ALL DOWN. newrepublic.com/article/1919...

@sulliview.bsky.social: "What is clear is that Bezos no longer wants to own an independent news organization. He wants a megaphone and a political tool that will benefit his own commercial interests." www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Put all the “DEI” folks who got let go onto a new network and I’d watch the shit out of it.

🔥 CROCKETT: “Facts matter.”

The first measles death in the US in a decade -- the tragic, preventable death of a child whose parents chose not to protect them with vaccination -- should spark an immediate nation-wide campaign to ensure all children are protected against preventable diseases. Anything less is unconscionable.

Q: how to 6x DOGE savings ($2.5b)? A: Cut subsidies to Tesla ($15b)

So increasing the minimum wage to a livable wage is “socialism”? But Amazon union busting, keeping wages low, and forcing workers onto public assistance while its founder increases his net worth by $7.9M an hour is the "free market"? Perhaps this could be a WaPo opinion piece.

I have noticed that as independent media thrives, the billionaire backed legacy media is starting to call itself independent as well. Don't be fooled. Support fearlessly independent, unapologetically pro-democracy outlets like Democracy Docket. www.democracydocket.com/me-subscribe...

Congrats @meidastouch.com !!! www.newsweek.com/meidas-touch...

This is evil. Pure evil.

DOGE is canceling government contracts that help veterans. Records show among the 875 contracts were arrangements to help medical services, fund cancer programs, recruit doctors, and provide burial services to veterans.

everyone seeing how when you takeaway the DEI the planes start falling out of the sky

5 Jasmine Crocketts > 500 Chuck Schumers 5 AOCs > 5 million Fettermans It's not the size of you in the fight that matters, it's the size of the fight in you.

If you feel this way, you're not along. And together, we're going to keep the Republic. Pass it on.

Anyone want to bet that no one looks at the email responses that Musk asked for ? It requires too much manpower and organization. Even w/AI He will hold them in the event he has an interaction with someone. If so, he can look up their response or lack of, and use it as cause for action.

This is what courage looks like. While so many stay silent, these people took a stand. We need more of that—right now. 📌 21 civil service employees resigned from DOGE

We dare Mike Johnson to give that answer at a town hall in front of his constituents

Can we do this too? More than 150,000 Canadians sign petition to revoke Musk’s citizenship - The Guardian apple.news/ACQrFo6wpTQm...

Breaking News: Scientists from the University of the Basque Country have discovered a groundbreaking molecule, WIN55.212-2, that reverses early cognitive damage caused by Alzheimer’s disease.

I only rooted for the Philadelphia Eagles to win the Super Bowl because they were the underdog. Now that they're declining the WH trip that comes with winning, I might root for them more...

Joy Reid will always be an important voice speaking truth to power. For such a time as this.

Dear Dems. This is a reminder that Donald Trump rescinded the ethics rules preventing gifts to executive branch employees. Now would be a good time to propose legislation formalizing the prevention into a law Time to do things that make him react to you. apnews.com/article/trum...

Pay attention, America.

I find it incomprehensible that so many Democratic politicians post on Twitter but NOT on Bluesky. I post on both platforms whenever possible, but I’ll post on Bluesky FIRST. I mean, WTF? 🤬

It took ten years, but the NYT finally got there

This is really smart by @sanders.senate.gov Go to republican districts and push voters to pressure their republican reps. www.commondreams.org/news/bernie-...

Do this. Say this. 👇🏻

Obama knew

@chrismurphyct.bsky.social why are you not posting on here first ? You have some great things to say. You are trying some great things. Yet you post on X where 100pct of the replies are meaningless and hateful. It's not all roses here, but the engagement has depth and real convos happen

Good morning and Happy Friday to everyone who agrees that if you want people to stop calling your party a bunch of Nazis, then your party leaders should stop doing Nazi things like the Sieg Heil. Did you notsee this coming?

Remember when America had friends? Like a month ago?

Team Canada wins in overtime, and l’ve never been delighted with a hockey win before, ever.

No, but if you’re looking for one, I am aware of a guy you work with that was indicted four times and convicted of thirty-four felonies.

John Fetterman’s staff are leaving him in droves and there are awful rumors about how he treats them. Are we sure he’s not just three Kyrsten Sinemas sitting on each other’s shoulders in a hoodie? Our latest:
