Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage.

@govmurphy.bsky.social please follow the example of the Governor of Maine, stand up for democracy. Should we pay the federal government for services that they eliminate or don’t render? This shouldn’t be Trump and his minions’ salary were paying for. We’re paying them to rip apart our government?

The constitution and the declaration were agreements among the states. Governors need to stand up to the federal government. Remember that we the people are funding it. I shouldn’t pay a dime to a government that offers no services and privatizes everything. I’m not paying Trump for anything.

By every conceivable measure, the United States is now more isolated and less secure than at any other time in the modern era.

Remember: The fundamental issue isn’t the size of the government or how to make government more “efficient.” It’s who our government is for. Should it work mainly for big corporations and billionaires, including the richest person in the world — or for the rest of us?

Zelensky, the ELECTED leader of a free country, should not be expected to kiss the ass of the toddler. His people expect Him to be strong. Trump would have fled where Zelensky stayed and fought. Trump is the worst negotiator

Worth noting that when the war started Zelensky’s English was very shaky and he’s clearly spent a ton of time improving it for exactly this purpose.

I don’t know that I have ever been as embarrassed for my country as I was today. Donald Trump and JD Vance berated a hero trying to save his country and democracy. I don’t know what compromising dirt Putin has on Trump, but Trump has fully embraced a brutal dictatorship and its leader.

The top 0.1% of Americans control $22 trillion in wealth. The bottom 50% control $3.8 trillion in wealth. Read that back. Folks, this is what oligarchy looks like.

So likely the world’s first Trillionaire Elon, who received $36 Billion in govt subsidies and contracts to generate his wealth, is telling the people who built this country what they can live without, as he giggles with his chain saw. Something ain’t right

Pathetic. Shameful. Cowardly. Disgusting. Trump and JD Vance showed the world they will enthusiastically reward the aggression of dictators and don't think freedom is worth fighting for. They are setting fire to Reagan's "City Upon A Hill."

America has totally lost its status in the world. Countries that were our allies are worried. People in our country are worried. What is Trump going to do next? What more can he destroy with our allies? it’s not the America I grew up in and love anymore.

Trump is too much of a coward to say a bad thing to Putin, yet he dares lecture Zelensky? Russia is on the verge of collapse and Trump/Vance are desperate to save them

Another great thing about Bluesky, is that people are starting to meet each other and have conversations in the replies the way they used to at the other place before unchecked harassment mostly ended that sort of interaction. It’s really nice to see.

I can’t tell you how different it is on X now after so many people have left. I have always followed mostly right-wing accounts because I cover them, and they are running out of people to pick fights with. So they’re just mostly fighting with each other.

Gather round, boys and girls, and hear my tale. Once upon a time, Donald Trump was a terrible president and lost his reelection. But he is a vain and ignorant man, and more than a little unwell, and told everyone he was still supposed to be president. He tried everything he could think of. He lied.

Why does “Simon vs. The Homo Sapiens Agenda” resonate so much with readers? Author Becky Albertalli says it’s because it’s real. “I tap into feelings that were present and defining when I was in middle school, high school, college, and even adulthood.” #VelshiBannedBookClub #Velshi

I’ve been in or around politics for over a half-century now. If there's one thing I've learned, it's that studying the past is key to understanding the present and shaping the future.

We are subsidizing churches to the tune of billions of dollars, as they do not pay property taxes, sales tax, capital gains etc. If the Supreme Court is intent on destroying the wall between church and state, let's have a real discussion about taxing churches. www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp...

I say again, support your local public libraries! We visited ours today to file our toddler’s first-ever passport application. It’s a major public service not all libraries offer, so we are super thankful this is a thing here. The whole process took just an hour (including a stop for pastries).
