DOGE is not efficient at all.

The Trump regime and DOGE are rolling out this playbook to attack Social Security — one of the most popular and effective government programs. They're deliberately sabotaging it by firing SSA workers and cutting services. Why? Because they don't want it to work.

Hey Greenland, why are you letting Americas planes land there? Why don’t you deny Usha Vance and the crew landing clearance? Fight back now or don’t be shocked when you can’t

CARTOON OF THE DAY

Republicans: after years of whining about dark-money billionaires puppeteering our political system, what do you have to say about Elon Musk buying the Presidency - and now the Wisconsin Supreme Court?

👇🏽”That’s not efficiency, it’s cruelty and chaos” @ossoff.bsky.social is really good at this

Elbows up!!

This White House has now crossed the Rubicon that for centuries has kept the Attorney General from becoming a Consigliere for the American President as Mob Boss Extraordinaire. Read this directive and weep: www.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

Nothing to see here.

Someone made an old tweet of mine into a meme and I’m kind of obsessed, honestly 🥹

When did it become OK to stop using headphones with music and videos in public? 🤦🏻‍♀️

Sad!

This man was courageous enough to stand up to Trump and Vance. So it's important to post this message and photo to 27 million people. Don't just "like" it -- that only means that YOU'VE seen it. Postb it, blow it up and get it out there! #SlavaUkraini 🇺🇦

Elbows up, Canada.

Pete Buttigieg breaks down DEI for everyday folks… “The opposite of diversity is uniformity. The opposite of equity is inequity. The opposite of inclusion is exclusion.” @petebuttigieg.bsky.social Our problem: too many value uniformity over inclusion and they’re the ones running the government. 🧵

Casar: You can quickly explain Doge with just two numbers. First: $8 million a day. That’s how much Elon Musk collects in federal government contracts. Second: $65 a day. That’s how much the average senior—someone who has worked their entire life—gets from Social Security.…

Not only is Columbia’s capitulation disastrous for the campus itself & for other universities that may follow- it also signals to other liberal institutions that surrender is the best response to authoritarianism. It isn’t- we need establishment bulwarks now more than ever

This is really the whole ball game right now, *particularly* among the institutions that make up civil society. (my parents definitely had this poster when I was growing up)

The Jewish president of Mexico is obviously an antisemite, it seems.

AOC brought the fire: “What they like to call as radical, I believe is common sense ... when a person gets sick, they shouldn’t go bankrupt … min wage should cover the min cost to live … homes are not slot machines for Wall Street to extort working families out of every last dollar that they have.”

Wait. What??

I’ve now watched this clip like 10 times and it’s instant first ballot hall of fame. One of the most comically out of touch things I’ve ever heard heard from a public official.

I knew these idiots in college - just the worst people 🤬

Could these guys be more out of touch? 🤦🏻‍♀️

Trump’s commerce secretary Howard Lutnick says if Social Security skipped a check, his mother-in-law wouldn’t complain—and if you would, it indicates you are probably a fraudster. Insane.

I know this seems petty given all that’s going on in the world, but use your f*+%!ng headphones! Jeeezus

I founded Democracy Docket in 2020 to be fearlessly independent and unapologetically pro-democracy. Its work is more important today than ever before and so is your support. Consider becoming a member today. www.democracydocket.com/member-me/

As if funneling $13 million through his super PACs wasn't enough, now Musk is bribing voters as he tries to buy a Wisconsin Supreme Court seat. If we want to stop billionaires from meddling in our elections, we need to #EndCitizensUnited.

I am new to BlueSky and like it so much more than Twitter but I’m worried that it’s a bit of an echo chamber. Am I thinking about this in the wrong way?

His wife’s parents are foreign academics. Was it bad for America that they came? I don’t think it was!

Back to basics. Russia invaded Ukraine Ukraine is the victim

Seems accurate

It seem insane for a US Senator to say we've all been subjected to "a relentless bombardment of Marxist propaganda." But what he means by this is 1) there was a Burger King ad with an interracial couple and 2) Star Wars Episodes VII-IX had a female lead.

Fact: They didn’t fear what breaking the Dept of Education would do to their kids. Their kids are in fancy private schools. They are dismantling the Dept of Ed so our kids have no choice but to be undereducated and work for their kids.

AOC: Alina Habba said, “What intellectual thought.. you were in a bar AOC. Not to have a drink but to serve one.” I don’t care what this woman says about me but I want you to understand that she isn’t just talking about me, she’s talking about all of us.
