#BlueskyResistance #Voices4Victory #ProudBlue IF DOLLY’S COMMENTING…you know shit’s happening somewhere.

If you're married & changed your name they WON'T accept proof of name change or marriage license if married name doesn't match birth certificate-they seek to disenfranchise women voters, people who lost documents in wildfires, older blacks denied hospital births etc www.newsweek.com/save-act-rai...

NEW: When the Trump Admin abruptly cancelled almost all USAID programs, it also refused to pay $2bln the U.S. govt owes **for work that’s been done.** One of the cut-off programs in Syria couldn’t afford security and was robbed by masked men. www.propublica.org/article/trum...

This is terrible. @tizzyent.bsky.social ?

By order of Hegseth: “Kristen Geist, the first woman to graduate from the Army's grueling Ranger School, has been erased from some of the service's social media and its publicly accessible media database, the Defense Visual Information Distribution Service, or DVIDS.”

Donald Trump is literally playing golf while JD Vance is skiing while MAGA is shit out of eggs.

There are more cases of measles in the US than there are NCAA trans athletes But Trump • Elon • RFK don't want you to realize that! h/t @briantylercohen.bsky.social

Unbelievable. NIH's websites are get >1 billion hits a year from people all over the globe looking for reliable health information.

How can people consider Musk some kind of tech genius and efficiency expert. The emperor has no clothes. And we and future generations will all pay the price.

So you're saying the aviation accident website... crashed?

Just so we're clear, the first major powers to leave the League of Nations were Japan and Germany, in 1933, and we all know why Germany left in 1933

BREAKING: Federal judge rules that Trump's firing of Hampton Dellinger, the head of a key federal whistleblower agency, was illegal. The judge has ordered the Trump administration to recognize Dellinger as the head of the Office of Special Counsel.

The damage he is doing to the United States will be irreparable.

Vermonters against Vance ...

New York stands with Ukraine. #3E #USprotests #StandWithUkraine

He’s so close

Please fold this into stories about Trump’s little performance yesterday.

Wow: Jeff Grant, a top career official at the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, retired today. On his way out, Grant sent this letter excoriating Jeffery Anoka, who carried out the DOGE firings, and said Anoka is "ethically and legally bound to restore" the jobs of the fired employees.

No one knows the Russians the way Ukrainians know Russians. There’s a thousand years of history between them. For hundreds of years, Ukraine has been fending off Russian political and cultural domination.

This is tragic. Anyone who was familiar with 18F knows those were some of the real heroes of government, who helped make government tech/digital services better for the public. They were doing real work that DOGE pretends to do, but is too ignorant to know how to do.

Liz Cheney condemns Trump and Vance:   "Donald Trump and JD Vance attacked Zelenskyy and pressured him to surrender the freedom of his people to the KGB war criminal who invaded Ukraine. History will remember this day— when an American President and Vice President abandoned all we stand for."

So increasing the minimum wage to a livable wage is “socialism”? But Amazon union busting, keeping wages low, and forcing workers onto public assistance while its founder increases his net worth by $7.9M an hour is the "free market"? Perhaps this could be a WaPo opinion piece.

New in PN: AOC shows how to fight back and stand strong "Prominent figures standing up can undermine the climate of fear that MAGA relies on to impose terror. AOC’s work on behalf of her constituents and refusal to be intimidated are models of resistance other Democrats would do well to imitate."

This is how it’s done.

Dan Caine, Trump’s new replacement for Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, reportedly told Trump, “I love you, sir. I think you’re great, sir. I’ll kill for you, sir.” He also put on a MAGA hat, despite it violating military protocol.

$200 million taxpayer dollars spent on “tell me I’m pretty” ads to stroke his own ego, while he fires people to “save money.” Sociopathic.

When Republicans call themselves a law-and-order party, they mean the law doesn’t apply to them because they’re giving the orders.

Know one tiny little thing you could do, news people who give a crap? You could STOP calling them the "Trump tax cuts" every damn time you talk about them and start calling them the "Trump CORPORATE tax cuts." Because that's what they were.

If you don't know the history of science, before Louis Pasteur, Robert Koch & John Snow in the 19th century, people thought diseases were caused by "bad air" or "miasma." @aetiology.bsky.social documents how #RFKJr. is bringing back miasma theory in the 21st. It's beyond insane and dangerous. 1/

A number of the J6 prisoners who Trump pardoned or commuted on Monday had been given terrorism enhancements when sentenced. So, Trump is literally letting terrorists free. Remember that.

The Democratic Party needs to get out of this woman's way.

Don't EVER tell me you "back the blue" again, you seditious felon. www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

The insurrectionists have won - it just took four years. I can't even put into words how upsetting and dangerous this is. The message is clear from day one: commit violence and break the law on Trump's behalf and he will make sure you are not held accountable.

There are a lot of busy lawyers out there. Trump doesn't just issue an EO & that's it. There will be challenges, some of them lengthy, over legality & constitutionality. The Supreme Court gave him immunity from criminal prosecution for official acts, not omnipotence.

in his inaugural address today, Trump cited the success of William McKinley’s use of tariffs in the 1890s. New York Times story from Oct. 21, 1890 reported those tariffs, beyond partisan arguments, made many of the “necessaries” of life more expensive, particularly for the poor:

Interesting test for corporate media that employs the conservative heel as their affirmative action hires. Will they allow them to make excuses for Musk's Nazi salute and Trump pardoning Jan 6 insurrectionists? We'll find out today and tomorrow.

Mark Zuckerberg— 2012: $44 billion 2025: $217 billion Jeff Bezos— 2012: $18 billion 2025: $245 billion Elon Musk— 2012: $2 billion 2025: $449 billion Federal Minimum Wage— 2009: $7.25/hr 2025: $7.25/hr Welcome to the United States of Oligarchy, folks.

Ladies and gentlemen, Marc Maron.

Cecile Richards will be missed in this world as we continue to fight for women's rights. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Sounds about right.

. Terrell Owens, YES, sir, you NAILED it.

Birthright citizenship. Pam’s unable to commit that as Attorney General she’ll acknowledge being born in America, makes you American.

Turner is one of the most pro-Ukraine, anti-Putin Republicans and as intelligence chair has access to the gritty details of what our adversaries are up to. This is an intra-party purge in the service of opponents of our democracy — and a preview of what’s coming when Trump takes power in five days.
