I cancelled my #wapost subscription, my #Newyorktimes subscription, and also my #sirius subscription, which was the primary way I consumed #MSNBC. Where are people going these days for news without a right wing billionaires thumb on the scale? The #guardian? Ground News?

Remember, the alternative to the Trump Regime destroying our government was to tax billionaires a bit more. Now you know why they are doing it.

There are things that push political parties over the edge. For Democrats, it’s watching an American president blithely overturn an 80 year-old doctrine of defending democracies against authoritarian regimes. For Republicans, it was when a black man suggested we have access to affordable healthcare.

I didn't think I was capable of feeling any more shame for what America has become. I was wrong.

The "free speechers" are now afraid of free speech.

He will burn down whatever he can, however he can Our systems of governance, rule of law, global alliances, even the Constitution. Consumed by vengeance and greed, he is the greatest threat to our Republic since its founding. We must meet this moment with the force of a thousand suns. Or perish.

JD Vance owns AcreTrader, an app that lets wealthy—often foreign—investors buy up U.S. farmland. Guess who’s deliberately tanking farm economies so JD and his billionaire tech buddies can scoop it up for pennies. civileats.com/2024/09/18/j...

If you are in #Seattle I highly recommend an afternoon checking this out www.mopop.org/exhibitions/...

I don't know who needs to hear this, but we didn't have multiple plane crashes per week under President Biden and Secretary Buttigieg.

My most interesting finding from using Elon Musk Grock is that it refers to itself using “I“. And I firmly believe he’s using it to target employees of the federal government to select them based off of their Internet usage to be laid off for DEI.

Imagine if @aoc @sanders.senate.gov , every dem, SIMULTANEOUSLY held Town Halls where they allowed grant and contract recipients to explain to the country what it is they do and why it's important Invite all media. Including RW podcasters. @spaces Flood the zone Call it a Day Of Transparency

I guess I’m just screaming into the void again

Elon and Donald just fired my wife from her dream job as a federal mediator… She worked endless hours and was truly making a difference helping orgs with disputes. #valentinesdaymassacre #FUCKMAGA

Pop quiz: People are saying the kid says “you’re not the president you need to go away” — do y’all hear it too?

Trump was bood LOUDLY at the Superbowl, and FOX superimposed cheers over them for the national broadcast...! Thanks @chasingoz.bsky.social for pointing that out. We must shine a light on how we are being manipulated.

@petebuttigieg.bsky.social Pete Buttigieg is on Bluesky!

THIS IS IT. The special general elections for Florida’s 1st & 6th Congressional Districts are on APRIL 1, 2025. If we flip these seats, we can STOP Project 2025. No excuses! Mark your calendars! Show up!

Wilson Phillips that shit...

I want to apologize on behalf of Seattle for enabling this woman to have a platform. Kshama Sawant and Jill Stein now own the genocide and ethnic cleansing in Gaza. Neither should be allowed to show their face in public ever again. youtu.be/J9JaZVtm2Bc?...

To all the people who didn’t vote or voted 3rd party because you “didn’t like either of them” I want to say, from the bottle of my soul, fuck you. Fuck you Fuck you. Fuck. You.

If Mitch McConnell was the Senate minority right now, he would’ve shut this shit down. Jesus Jumping Christ on a cracker. Schumer has never understood that you don’t have power unless you use power.

Elon Musk is not a Federal employee or a political appointee. DOGE is not a real department. None of their activities are legal. This is a coup. The Republicans in Congress are willing participants in it. At what point do Democrats in DC get that and start acting like it? It’s not the price of eggs!

Its dangerous to go alone...

Canada’s tariffs are gonna be focused primarily on red states. Kentucky whiskey, makers and Florida Orange juice prepared to have your ass handed to you.

If it isn’t clear, Trump‘s deportation efforts are focused on blue states and Utah. This is about hurting blue states for revenge and Mitt Romney.

I hope everyone who dons a Red Hat is connecting the dots while they panic shop at Walmart today.

The data scientists are starting to prove that the election was indeed hacked. Stop to steal was so over the top because they wanted to make sure that we would be instantly labeled as conspiracy theorist if somebody questioned this election. States have to step up. electiontruthalliance.org

This aged well.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt on whether Trump’s federal aid freeze impacts Medicaid, which provides health insurance to 19% of the US population: "I’ll check back on that and get back to you."

I know everybody’s talking about DeepSeek, but remember where your data is going. Just because it’s free doesn’t mean it’s better.

Oh, no. Not a formal resolution.

I shared someone else's take on this earlier but I can't get it out of my head what an unbelievably bad tweet this is. We elected people to fight for us, not just throw up their hands and let democracy slip away.

ATTENTION-Though it was “deleted” not sure if by Eric Trump or Twitter this tweet must be used in every capacity. 🪶😡🇨🇦🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🇺🇸💙🌎@lincolnproject.us @mmpadellan.bsky.social @calltoactivism.bsky.social @azbrittney.bsky.social @liberalparty.bsky.social

Really? I think this is about as funny as joking about nukes in Hiroshima

Arooj Aftab at the Crocodile last night was nothing short of transcendent. I'm still swirling in it. Here's something far better than any video i was able to capture and a perfect introduction:
