Nap time for this sister and brother. 😻❤️

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

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024. You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right? Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year. You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.

Keeps being true. Every day.

Things that caused the DC plane crash: — Having 1 air traffic controller do a job 2 people normally do, because of far-right efforts to destroy the government Things that did NOT cause the DC crash: — Women — Black people — Pete Buttigieg — DEI programs generally

Because they are evil, we must stand up to them. But because they are also stupid, we needn’t be afraid to.

It’s far too soon to ascribe responsibility for the horrific DC plane collision, but it’s not too soon to say that dismantling the safeguards afforded by a functioning federal government put us at significant risk. And it’s irrefutable that, since January 20th, we are all less safe.

➡️ January 20: FAA director fired ➡️ January 21: Air Traffic Controller hiring frozen ➡️ January 22: Aviation Safety Advisory Committee disbanded ➡️ January 28: Buyout/retirement demand sent to existing employees ➡️ January 29: First American mid-air collision in 16 years Making America Great Again!

A message to the US Senate: America is watching. Patel, Gabbard, and RFK are more than just unfit. They are a danger to our country, and to our people's safety. Use your vote to protect the people you represent. History will remember your choice.

Well said, Pete Buttigieg

Love this.

Also my New Year’s resolution!

True story.

Oh Trump is going to HATE this. Good.

If the government shuts down Saturday, the richest man in the world will be largely to blame. You may not get access to services you depend on just before the holidays because an unelected billionaire shadow president wanted it that way. If this isn’t oligarchy, I don’t know what is.

One CEO gets shot and now all CEOs are scared to go back to the office. Imagine how our children feel going back to school.

FIRST RULE FOR THE NEXT FOUR YEARS!

DEMAND A BAN ON ASSAULT RIFLES

As the oligarchy begins to take shape, this meme seems more prescient than ever. They have convinced you that immigrants are your enemy while they pick your pockets at the same time, you’ve been duped. It’s the billionaires who are ruining this country,not migrants. Always has been. #RiseAndResist

Happy Sunday!

From @saneman.bsky.social

Trump is a bully and bullies prey on the weak. They understand the power of fear and exploit it. Capitulating to Trump now — even before he has been sworn in — makes you more vulnerable, not less. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/now-...

Social Security promises monthly benefits for seniors, people with disabilities, and survivors to ensure a life of dignity for all of us who work hard. Wall Street opposes it because they’d rather protect Elon Musk’s wallet than yours.

I understand Donald Trump for what he is a buffoon. Donald Trump wants you to be scared. Rather than being scared, I am proud to be a happy warrior for democracy. We all need to have the courage to not back down. Do not obey!

This. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Such a simple cartoon that really speaks volumes.

Stop calling Trump’s nominees “loyalists.” They are henchmen.

Bringing my pinned Tweet along with me as I migrate here because this still matters & because we cannot normalize what Trump intends to do to DOJ. Justice should never be a political tool for presidents & their pals.
