How did your superintendent respond? This is epic. open.substack.com/pub/corythac...

Skydive is now over paying for what is now a damaged property. I expect @60minutes.bsky.social will lose their decades long dedicated watchers with their capitulation to the regime.

Today, I stood with Jennifer Vasquez Sura. Her husband Kilmar Abrego GarcĆ­a, a lawful U.S. resident, father and union worker, was torn from his family and sent to a prison camp in El Salvador. No criminal record. No hearing. No proof. We're fighting to bring him back.

"Do you want a good government or a country that's in ruins?" This interview was too good not to share in its entirety. So meet Grant, a 15-year-old student from Princeton, New Jersey, who spoke to our reporter at the #HandsOff rally there. He has some thoughts.

As more & more people wake up, because they (or someone they love) are directly impacted by what’s happening in the USA, there are two phrases I am finding helpful: ā€œYou don’t have to admit you were wrong. Just admit that you were lied to.ā€ ā€œWelcome to the resistanceā€ #UnitedWeAreStrong šŸ¤šŸ‡ŗšŸ‡øāœŠ

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

@booker.senate.gov please post this morning’s X video on BlueSky so we can share it here. x.com/CoryBooker/s...

@hcrichardson.bsky.social Shareable page of the many Partner organizations working together on the April 5th Mass Mobilization. ā˜®ļø See you in the Streets!

Cory Booker has taken the Senate floor and plans to filibuster as long as he’s physically able to protest the complete disregard for the rule of law by Trump and Musk. Watch here: www.c-span.org/event/us-sen...

Leave it to Tim Walz to post the perfect commentary.

🚨NEW: A French scientist had his laptop searched at the US border & was sent back to Europe after private messages were found criticising Trump. He was accused of messages which ā€œcan be described as terrorismā€. This is what a slide into FASCISM looks like. 1/

See below. Also saw on Lawrence O’Donnell 3/13/25 Someone is messing with MSNBC videos @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com @maddow.msnbc.com @msnbc.com

@maddow.msnbc.com Has anyone else noticed Rachel Maddow’s videos are being cut short by a woman drawing in the middle of the video? It happened on The Rachel Maddow 3/12/25 9:00 pm video on YouTube. I have seen it on others as well.

These folks made my life easier. Medicare registration was super quick, I just hope this f*ing administration doesn’t destroy the whole system.

Good Morning friends 🩷 Kindness & love are always the way. I refuse to allow people I have zero respect for influence my life. I will keep caring for others 🩷 #SheShed #Kindness

Target Majority NYC's nearly 11K members spanning all 5 boroughs (& upstate) need you to fight, Minority Leaders @schumer.senate.gov & @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social. Thank @leahgreenberg.bsky.social & @ezralevin.bsky.social of @indivisible.org for this clarion call: www.thenation.com/article/poli...

@claudemalhuret.bsky.social Thank you. Slavi Ukraini. thebulletin.org/2025/03/for-...

It’s another setback for Trump’s goal of expanding presidential power over independent federal agencies that Congress designed to operate without direct control from the White House. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

I agree with Donald Trump that an unelected bureaucrat should be fired. Let’s start with Elon Musk.

1. EXCLUSIVE Popular Information has obtained an email, sent yesterday by a Trump administration official, explicitly instructing CFPB employees not to carry out activities REQUIRED BY LAW. This directly contradicts what administration lawyers told a federal court.

ā€œIllegalā€ doing a lot of heavy lifting here as Trump matches towards being a dictator. Trump can’t be allowed to define it contrary to the 1st Amendment & rules regarding private property. But beyond that, it should provoke an uproar. Peace protest is an American value.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

Musk’s status as a ā€œspecial government employeeā€ limits him to 130 days in the executive branch. However, despite working daily—documented by his own X posts—they claim he only works one day a week, effectively stretching his limit to 130 weeks. This needs to be brought to Congress—please share.

Of course Speaker Mike Johnson is living in the $3.7 million DC home of an election-denying, policy-driving ā€œevangelical pastor who has attacked the separation of church and state as ā€˜a delusional lie’ and called multinational institutions ā€˜demonicā€™ā€ā€¦ www.propublica.org/article/mike...

If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company. It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create. They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms. I’m happy to invest and/or help

Is there a way we can help federal employees with this? #letuswork open.substack.com/pub/contrari...

I am having a hard time deciding which day is worse. Today or January 6, 2021.

šŸšØšŸ“‰RECESSION? The Atlanta Fed GDPNow model as of February 28 now estimates real GDP growth in Q1 2025 in the United States to be -1.5% as net exports and personal consumption falls.

Don't forget - Blackout today And Tesla Takedown tomorrow www.consumerreports.org/consumer-rig...

Our members LOVED Dem @blakegendebien.bsky.social at last night's @indivisible.org meet and greet! "Very impressive." "Very relatable." "We have to support him!" Let's roll up our sleeves to FLIP #NY21 & curb MAGA's majority. Join our group at bit.ly/tmajority to hear about phonebanks & more ASAP!!

Hoping that Trump fails is not a plan. We must develop and foster new movements, structures, tactics, platforms and leaders to oppose Trump and articulate a positive vision. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/buil...
