Sadly, we’ve reached this point thanks to Trump and MAGA, but President Zelensky is probably right. Europe can no longer rely on the United States. They will have to build their own army and take care of their own security—which means they’ll be less likely to help us when we need them.

one of the interesting things about a would-be fascist takeover is the endless clever-sounding justifications that smart people come up with to explain why they should go along with it

There is now a verified Adolf Hitler “government organization”account on X That site is such an absolute shitshow

Portuguese editorial cartoonist Zez Vaz reaches back to Tiananmen Square to call on American defiance.

if journalism is supposed to be one of the institutions that safeguards a free society then journalists should be opponents of autocratic takeovers, brian.

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @schumer.senate.gov not one elected candidate will get a cent from me until I hear actionable plans to shut down the unlawful takeover of the government. There are a handful AOC, Warren etc., who I see actually working - YOU NEED TO FIGHT

This is so smart. @petebuttigieg.bsky.social , thoughts ? And if you see this. A reminder. This is not Twitter. You can engage here and have thoughtful discussions ! We all look forward to reading your thoughts

"If Trump is denying access to outlets that refuse to lick his boots, then any media outlet that has access is compromised. Journalists who want to be worthy of the name have a moral obligation to follow the AP’s example in enraging the toddler in chief."

Horrifying news out of upstate New York. Sam Nordquist, a transgender man from Minnesota was found dead after being tortured for over a month and then finally murdered by a group of 5 people, including a teenager. www.whec.com/top-news/nys...

BIG NEWS: We're holding DOGE accountable. It's not "efficient" to allow Elon Musk's operatives to mess with the systems that send Social Security checks or pay for your mom’s doctor through Medicare. It's dangerous for the economy and a breach of privacy for millions of Americans.

Senator Opens Inquiry Into US Center for SafeSport’s Hiring of Investigator Charged With Sex Crimes: The chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee is looking into how a former police officer landed an investigator's job at the U.S. Center for SafeSport despite sex-crime allegations that littered his…

If you’re a republican Senator who votes for Tulsi Gabbard, I don’t ever want to hear a goddamn word out of your mouth about national security ever again.

unionize before it’s too late

Today I’m calling my reps about our criminal president, whose foundation, university and company were all riddled with fraud, attempting to shut down the Consumer Fraud Protection Bureau. Join me! @5calls.org

No one in my city makes a pastime of badmouthing bus service quite like the people who never ride the bus.

I’m starting to suspect that the party that keeps appointing child sex abusers and underage human traffickers to positions of authority isn’t actually all that concerned about the children. apple.news/AnHWW7eQpRp2...

i don't trust any software tutorial on youtube recorded by an american. plumbing, hvac or carpentry tutorial, maybe. but software? absolutely not

Absolutely correct. Call your House representatives. Write them actual letters. Show up at their local offices. Flood the zone. Demand they draw the line while they still can.

My latest from inside NIH as well as universities that get its funding. I think it is important to say clearly what moves like this will actually do to people.

We’ve become used to right wingers throwing tantrums every time black people are on tv in something everyone is watching (the olympics, superbowl, ect) but it’s actually fucking weird and we shouldn’t act like that’s a normal reaction

I saw a commentator go to a Mexican Walmart to compare egg prices. Per dozen, the most expensive was $1.99 and the least $.98. Say it with the class, this is GREED.

Hi Bluesky! Glad to be here.

“Stop protecting consumers RIGHT NOW”

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @schumer.senate.gov What if they started a war and only one side side showed up. You knew they had a playbook, why weren’t you prepared for this? Why aren’t we hearing from you? Where is leaderships fight, why aren’t we hearing you scream about this, are you afraid?

the fucking enforcement arm of the federal government is launching a war on integration an effort to push tens of millions of americans to the bottom of an arbitrary hierarchy of value and yeah, it pisses me off to see nominal allies say “oh yeah maybe they have a point”

When companies invest in DEI, they invest in people. Now's the time for Target to stand firm in its values, not retreat. Will you add your name to call on Target's leadership to reinstate its DEI programs? sign.moveon.org/petitions/ta...

between sinema and fetterman we should be intensely weary of dem politicians who don't dress as normally as possible

We desperately need our Democratic leaders to fight!

Which puts everyone in danger. MAGA fraud Mark Finchem tried dodging a speeding ticket with bogus legislative immunity. Even the cops weren’t buying it. Another entitled GOP grifter who thinks laws don’t apply to him. www.alternet.org/ari...

The Rubio-led State Department was supposed to represent a “moderate” side of MAGA. Darren Beattie's appointment makes a mockery of that notion. My latest for MSNBC looks at Beattie, who I’m confident is even more extreme than most people think www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

There is no strict constitutional prohibition against giving the nuclear codes to teenagers, so it’s hard to see why liberals are so upset about the DOGE kids taking over the Pentagon. by Jonathan Turley

It's not a demolition site it's a mass grave. It's not a demolition site it's a crime scene. It's not a demolition site its a homeland. It's not a demolition site it's Palestine. It's not a demolition site it's a genocide.

With all of the Trump/Musk mayhem, don't ignore the GOP's continued assault on free and fair elections. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

This is truly wishful thinking, there isn’t going to be another democrat president for a long time. This time the system really is rigged

Same.

Yeah so the Constitution isn’t really in effect right now

I'm 100% down for the omelet revolution...

Is @fetterman.senate.gov compromised because his wife is an immigrant?
