There is no better analyst of what is happening in politics, in the GOP, in the pro-democracy movement, and in the media than @sarahlongwell25.bsky.social. Please watch, consider and share. youtu.be/GyleOTPeEHs

This is our country, not your church. The Bill of Rights guarantees our right to freedom of speech & religion & to be free from others imposing their religious views on us. Protect our civil rights & freedoms. http://dlvr.it/TJ83kQ #ReligiousFreedom

"As we navigate the sheer quantity of hate and unconstitutional extremism found within these orders, it’s essential we not let this blitzkrieg distract or deter us." - Keith Thirion

OREGON: “The house & senate are totally abdicating their responsibilities.” @RepBentz (R) is the latest Republican to get confronted by constituents at a town hall. (Tennessee folks— town halls are these things where senators/reps show up and you can talk to them in person)

I’m telling you @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, please watch this. This is the energy. Not egg prices and book tours and strongly worded letters. It’s time to take the gloves off.

He should be our messenger.

10,000 King Soopers workers are currently on strike for better pay and working conditions. Instead of negotiating in good faith, parent company Kroger has been using scabs and prioritized $7.5B in stock buybacks. Don't tell me they can't afford to pay a living wage.

Raise your hand if you stand with Ukraine 🇺🇦

My 72-year-old neighbor in Florida — who voted for Trump enthusiastically — is whining to anyone who’ll listen that “they” better not come after his Medicare or Social Security. What should I say to him?

How lucky are we that Bluesky exists during this moment

Everyone needs to see this. Be ready to deny access, even if you don't know any immigrants. Let them waste time and you might save a family somewhere else. #Disobey #blue #fotus #FBR #immigrants #TruthWarriors #theresistance #resist #FBPE #FuckICE #SaveOurDemocracy #sanctuary #organize #fucktrump

Jocelynn Rojo Carranza, just 11 years old, “took her own life in Texas after she was tormented by classmates who threatened to call Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) authorities and have her family deported from the US, her grieving parents have said.” www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Absolutely genius. Who did this?

Terrorist Trump has a terrorist cockroach running the FBI now and it’s truly disgusting. 🤮 💩 🪳

Democratic leaders: I think it's abundantly clear at this point that simply going along to get along ain't gonna work. Trying to negotiate ain't gonna work. Being collegial ain't gonna work. What you're doing right now isn't working. Take your gloves off and punch back. Hard.

“Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain!”

As always, @chriswarcraft.bsky.social is a real one.

📢 “He’s trying to steal Medicaid to enrich himself. He’s gutting NASA to line his pockets with SpaceX. He’s looting everything good in America for private profit.” - @aoc.bsky.social at today’s #SaveOurServices NYC rally. The fight isn’t over. Join us: go.savepublicservices.com

Agreed

The waste is coming from the White House. 👇

Oh nothing to see here — just the United States of America aligning itself with Russia and against Europe. This is fine. Totally fine.

Kendrick got the yts on the clock app teaching history lessons inspired by his 40 acres and a mule line at the superbowl! Y’all can NEVER make me hate that man!!!

More of this energy everywhere please!

"Should the court grant the motion, it would be the first lawsuit against DOGE where the plaintiffs are able to obtain evidence, albeit limited, on how Elon Musk’s faux agency is operating within the federal government." www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Love this guy. He appeared on the Mueller, She Wrote podcast in 2018. Hell of an activist.

Kash Patel confirmed as FBI Director by the U.S. Senate in a 51-49 vote The coup is complete.

I appreciate everyone’s messages of support, I’m trying to get through all my mentions but as you can imagine, it’s been a bit of a busy day :) Remember - peaceful civil disobedience, and no kings, no tyrants. Not ever.

Houston police captain, Daryn Edwards, has been arrested for possessing videos of children being sexually abused. abc13.com/post/houston...

Trump wants to abolish the IRS so he can have free reign for his financial misdeeds!

These self-identified Jesus-followers are celebrating the separation of parents from their children and spouses from one another; cheering families torn apart, lives violently uprooted, and human beings being terrorized at school and at work and at church. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/if-youre-a...

Arresting someone for calling you fascist seems an excellent approach to proving their point.

Lil bit older article from the beginning of Feb - just found it and feel it needs to be shared. Betting that this isn't isolated and we'll see more like this www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

As it turns out, Mike Johnson is now learning that a lot of Republican voters are on Medicaid.

There are moments in these deportation fights when I can just FEEL how pissed off they are that I’m Puerto Rican 😂 they want to threaten me with it so bad 😂

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court GRANTS @democracyforward.org request to allow expedited discovery in lawsuit challenging DOGE access to Department of Labor data. First instance of discovery being permitted in the Trump accountability cases. Visit Democracy Docket for more info. www.democracydocket.com

Meet 11-year-old Jocelynn Rojo Carranza, a young girl from Texas whose life was tragically cut short. She died by suicide after classmates threatened to call ICE on her family. Stop dehumanizing immigrants. That is not America.

I think most people are intuitively aware of this but something like the official White House account posting an “ASMR” video of shackled immigrants is not just cruel for its own sake, it’s intentional envelope-pushing to ramp up to desensitization over inhumane detention, camps, and deaths

"Tyranny requires your fear and your silence and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage." -- @govpritzker.illinois.gov

Resisting comes in all forms. Here is a very creative one starting to pop up.

How do we even know that Elon's DOGE hackers aren't using their computer skills to peel money off of everyone's Social Security accounts? WE DON'T KNOW. There is no transparency. All we know is Elon's goal was to *find* 2 trillion dollars without touching Social Security, and that's impossible.
