We need to grow and intensify our bonds & networks--now! @azbrittney.bsky.social has done so much great work w/ Starter Packs. So, DO THIS now! Reply, Share, & Follow.

Ouch! Agree, @georgetakei.

Don't mess with Dolly Parton! She's done so much to get free books to poor kids, who'd want to stop her? Her inspirational Imagination Library program is 30 years old & helps early literacy. Well, yeah, you've guessed it. Indiana's Republican governor... via @agatehutress.bsky.social Blankenship.

No to being silenced. Georgia Tech faculty instructed to scrub terms like "equality" and "justice." #Resist.

Never mind the utter hypocrisy that is rampant: Rep. Robert Garcia will not be silenced. #savedemocracy @robertgarcia.bsky.social

Big Oops, Elon! Millions of dead Americans NOT collecting benefits, as he claimed. www.msn.com/en-us/news/p...

Succinctly stated. "World's richest man (Elon) cuts off aid to world's poorest families." Now is that something to be proud of? Not in this universe. Explain yourself, Elon, DOGE and VP. (From Scott Pelley, @60minutes.bsky.social )

No, President Joe Biden did not abandon these two astronauts in space, as Trump said. Shocking that he's got it wrong, I know. But while the astronauts wait for their "ride home" in early March they correct Trump's narrative. #astronauts www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

Never forget. #ChildrenMatter. 7 years since Marjory Stoneman Douglas. Check out Gabby Giffords' anti-gun violence efforts. @giffords.org

Mark Cuban as a great idea! And while grant and contract recipients explain their roles to Americans in simultaneous Town Halls, they could also explain to MAGAs reality of life under authoritarian rule. What we'll have if the #TrumpTrain isn't derailed. Can't believe they know. @mcuban.bsky.social

Don't do it, Democrats! We want and need you to #Resist

"Subserviant enablers" in a party that "rewards cowardice" writes former Congressman/Jan 6 Committee member @adamkinzinger.bsky.social in "The Cowardice of Senate Republicans." It's not a good look. And with democracy at stake, history will be hard on those who knew better but did nothing. #Resist.

Rome burns while Nero fiddles. Shouldn't trump be too busy to worry about the Gulf of Mexico's name? Ye gods.

Be there or be square. #ResistFascism on Feb 17, 2025, the National Day of Protest. Show up at The White House or your State Capitol, your City or Town Hall. #resist

The "pause" on #trans medical care and on processing trans military recruits. How deeply sad a time this must be for the trans folk involved. Let's hope Defense Sec. Pete Hegseth means what he says when he promises them respectful treatment. Hmm.

Blow that whistle. If you see something nefarious, reach out to a Democrat on their new whistleblower portal. Good move, Democrats!

Trump respected internationally? In his dreams! Feel the heat from overseas. Via Francis Maxwell, @meidastouch.com

Wonder how "buyer's remorse" stats are going?

Outrageous! Plaques honoring women & POC covered up at NSA's National Cryptologic Museum. #DEI

Don't take your eyes off the coup! Okay, people say, "But what can *we* do?" A lot as a matter of fact. Here's professor/author Robert Reich's handy & informative Action List. @rbreich.bsky.social #BlueCrew #FightforDemocracy

Trump just can't help himself, can he? Sheer madness.

Glad to know that Rep. Al Green (D-TX) plans to introduce new articles of impeachment. Who else is working to towards the same goal? With the assaults on our democracy and freedom coming thick and fast, now is the time.

#Protesters in rainy Austin, TX today. All across the U.S., people are being galvanized into marching by the signs that a hostile takeover of our government is underway. The marches feel powerful. Full of the power of the people. Let's go! #USProtests #r/50501

Lot of marching going on in the US today. Wake up and come out from under your pillow. The more we see and hear that "Donald Trump has got to go," the better we like it. #USProtests u/50501movement.bsky.social - Bluesky r/50501 - Reddit

Know any Rs who've gotta spine? For them and for the #BlueCrew. We can't wait...

We need this class action lawsuit against Elon Musk -- and so many more. This transfer of our precious Social Security data is diabolical. Who gave Musk the key? And was the act illegal? All this is very rapidly spinning out of control. #domesticterrorism #SocialSecurity

Get used to the idea of one-egg-omelettes, then? Waffle House's prices jump by 50 cents *per egg* after Trump breaks another of his campaign promises. via @briantylercohen.bsky.social
