I have zero patience for “do climate work but just don’t call it that”. I am not talking in code about an existential threat bc a handful of Americans like profiting off oil and gas & have managed to brainwashed another handful of Americans. Don’t capitulate. They’ll take your funding anyway.

AOC: How can anyone possibly make an objective vote on healthcare, energy, or war when their personal wealth is tied up in pharmaceutical, oil and gas, or defense company stock?

I really thought that the evident electoral advantages of resisting the Trump administration would persuade more nationally ambitious democrats to do so. I was mistaken.

Really interesting and moving article by @markhertling.bsky.social

Historian here: “To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.” ― Theodore Roosevelt

A plague of all cowards, I say

"And now we bring you a Fox News exclusive interview with President Trump ..."

three years ago the New York Times published an op-ed by a college student complaining about the chilling effect of feeling "disdain" from fellow students, because the New York Times wanted to convince America the real threat to free expression was something other than a looming right-wing autocracy

I hate all these fucking assholes so much

The House just passed its budget resolution, so reconciliation is now officially underway. This is their bill to destroy Medicaid and SNAP while cutting taxes disproportionately for the rich. THIS IS VERY REAL and can be enacted even if all Ds vote no. Thread on what's to come and WHERE TO FIGHT.

Your retirement account and Social Security benefits are at risk, you can be sent to a foreign prison for saying stuff he doesn't like, science is cancelled and books are banned, but chin up, ladies -- you can still die from a miscarriage.

"The existence of emergency responders is an admission that Shit Goes Wrong. It is not defeatism, it’s a contingency. It’s being ready to render aid to your fellow humans. Money we put aside to care for each other. But to a certain brain genius mind, this looks like waste." - @funranium.bsky.social

It shouldn't have to devastate you personally to care about it. You should be able to look at someone else's pain and go "that's terrible, I wouldn't want that for myself, we should do something about that." Like. This is kindergarten shit.

Rep. Melanie Stansbury just TORCHED the House floor 🔥 calling out the GOP’s ruthless plan to gut Medicaid & increase our debt. It doesn’t matter if you’re red or blue—this budget screws everyone. She’s done with the cruelty. We are too. Say it louder: HELL NO. #HandsOffOurMedicaid

"Virtue signaling" is so often used as an insult, but signaling your values (and letting others know they are accepted) is so important. Think about how often the opposite--like a MAGA flag--happens.

"Like Amazon, but with human beings."

Steve had to get through college somehow...

I love this for them.

OMG WTF ARE YOU DOING
