It's pretty cool that Eater put together resources for restaurants about how to handle ICE raids

“White people have a listening problem.”

I’m seeing a lot of “Republicans who tie themselves to Trump are going to pay the price” and “He is trying to squirm away from what Musk and Trump are doing.” I think that’s naive. They are all in. We’ve seen over and over that they aren’t going down with a sinking ship. They are winning.

There's a few interesting numbers in this poll, but the headline is job approval of Congressional Dems is 49 disapprove, 40 approve *among Democrats.* If you're still pitching the "Bluesky isn't real life, Normal Democrats aren't mad at leadership," it may be time to reassess.

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

I understand why these stories exist but it’s important to be clear that he’s not “saving” 16 billion, he’s choosing, personally, without oversight, to wipe out 16 billion dollars of government services to veterans and the disabled and food safety etc etc

Quite an exchange here between Judge Reyes and DOJ attorney on how "pronoun usage" affects military readiness.

I am not making this up: Republicans have introduced legislation… to increase your bank fees.

A glimmer ✨

I love this for them

yes, the rise of fascism is bad, but have you considered that some very wealthy people were rudely spoken to

I’ll be making calls this week to @murray.senate.gov @cantwell.senate.gov and Rep. Newhouse to talk about messaging. The current status quo is not cutting it. If you’re in central WA I hope you will join me.

Some inspiration for today

“Admonitions to obey the law will not stop Trump and will not dissuade his supporters. Trump’s bad ideas must be countered with good ones. His attack on the government has to be contrasted with a vision of how the system could work and should work — for the people, not the emperor-in-the-making.”

At least 60 people protesting outside of the Tesla dealership in Seattle today. You love to see it. ✊🏻 Cc @evansutton.bsky.social @robertcruickshank.com @alexwinter.com

Maybe sort out America's fascist takeover, mass gun violence, abortion bans, oligarch & conspiracy theorist control of govt, climate change denialism, privatised healthcare, politicised judiciary, religious fundamentalism & tax favouring rich over poor before lecturing Europe on "values", JD Vance.

Target is also one of the retailers being specifically targeted by the #LatinoFreeze boycott...

Seriously, how hard would it be for the Senate and House Ds to have a morning joint press conference, 7 days a week, contesting Trump's assault on the US right now? Could be a different Senator and House Member each day. We are in a national emergency right now. Our leaders need to act that way.

This letter, from now-resigned prosecutor Danielle Sassoon to Pam Bondi, is worth reading in full. Simply put, there is no non-corrupt reason for dismissing Eric Adams’ case. The Trump DOJ is itself obstructing both justice and the rule of law. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Very proud to announce the Department of Health will now process all requests to change gender designation on birth certificates within three business days. Previously, there was as much as a 10 month wait.

If you needed something positive today, here it is.

The Trump Slump

“My death as a member of the third gender and transgender population does not mean you won. It solely marks the end of our association. You are not the land of the free.” zerodoesntsleep.substack.com/p/vet-found-...

Hearing that @indivisible.org and @moveon.org are pissing off house dems by mobilizing their constituents to call them too much is frankly the single best endorsement I've ever heard for a political action groups.
