“The government is primarily made up of people who are generations older and do not have a stake in the future. They keep kicking the can down the road — especially on things like the climate crisis.” 🇺🇸♾️ open.substack.com/pub/protectd...

If Musk and the Trump admonistration keep abusing their powers, Americans will have to do something this extreme.

After writing my history of concentration camps, I came to believe that short of committing murder yourself, one of the worst things you can do is to abet or exploit the suffering of another human being to increase your own power in the world.

@rose4us.bsky.social We Vets are taking a page from the Norwegian Underground Did 🇳🇴 during WWII #Quislings #Paperclip #FAFO #Impeach #Iwearapaperclip We Need to Connect. Show Not MAGA. Without being in anyone's face

Lovers of democracy must embrace patriotism & steal it back from the authoritarians. Just as the Lost Cause rallied around the Confederate Flag, WE can rally for Stars and Stripes Forever = 🇺🇸♾️ For a star-spangled mobius ribbon or American Infinity sticker go to democracyawareness.org. RALLY!

Unless we prioritize civic education and engagement, we risk undermining the foundation upon which American democracy is built. www.detroitnews.com/story/opinio...

The Founders anticipated the possibility of a corrupt criminal president. What they did not anticipate is that Congress would willingly hand over so much of their Constitutional authority to him. They thought people ambitious enough to win Congressional seats would jealously guard their own power.

@chrismurphyct.bsky.social Please propose legislation proclaiming September Democracy Awareness Month to help fight our nation’s cancers of voter apathy and partisan rancor. September has Labor Day, democracy at work, Constitution Day, the foundation of our democracy, and Int’l Democracy Day. 🇺🇸♾️

We often look back on the seminal moments in our history and wonder "What would I have done?" This is our moment. This is our time. We must stand up. We must speak out. We must do everything we can to stop a President who has every intention of destroying our democracy.

“It took 75 days of Donald Trump’s second presidency for voters to hit the streets en masse. Millions of people showed up this weekend for more than 1,200 anti-Trump demonstrations—all of them peaceful—throughout all 50 states, from Alaska to Alabama to Arizona.” www.vanityfair.com/news/story/t...

Times are dark now. But we’ve been through dark times before. When it’s darkest you see the guiding stars.✨ We’ll find the path. The path of prosperity & fairness, when the 3 branches of government are in balance & money doesn’t rule politics.💰 Amend, DON’T UPEND, the Constitution! 🇺🇸♾️

Protest Check in, over 1000 planned.

If Senator Cory Booker can stand up for 24+ hours against Trump dismantling America, you can stand up for a couple hours this Saturday, 4/5, right? If not us, who? There are more than 850 rallies planned across the U.S. Find one close to you: www.mobilize.us/handsoff/

Booker on Strom Thurmond: "I'm not here because of his speech. I'm here in spite of his speech. I'm here because as poweful as he was, the people were more powerful."

There it is: 7:19 pm — Cory Booker has buried the odious arch segregationist Strom Thurmond’s record for the longest speech in Senate history — and Booker is acknowledging him as “the man who tried to stop the rights on which I stand… I’m here despite his speech." www.nytimes.com/2025/04/01/u...

Please share this with all. Not just BlueSky. Thank you.

I’ve taken the Senate floor and will speak for as long as I’m physically able to lift the voices of Americans who are being harmed and not being heard in this moment of crisis. Watch here:

Hold on, @timmiller.bsky.social is skeeting! Heyyyyyy!

A day in the life when you're living in the Age of Ignorance and Chucklefuckery.

Trump admin officials are awkwardly scrambling to respond to the most absurd national security debacle in recent memory. Sensing their moment, Democrats pounced. Subscribe to #WhatADay for more. crooked.com/daily

One of many special exhibits planned for #Americas250 the quarter-millennial of the Declaration of Independence. Do you fly the flag? 🇺🇸♾️ www.amrevmuseum.org/exhibits/ban...

A convocation of eagles gathered. Like a murder of crows or a gaggle of geese, a convocation is the collective noun for a group of eagles. 🦅 What do you call a group of Fox Journalists? A skulk of Foxes. Name fits! 😅
