Agreed....we're aren't going to be able to vote our way put of this. We need true warriors to stand up and fight for our democracy.

The White House is in clear violation of Article I, Section 9, of the US Constitution. “No Title of Nobility shall be granted by the United States.”

Long live the King? What kind of fucked world is this? I didn’t serve my country for 22 years to watch it turn into this. No fucking way on my watch is that going to happen. What about y’all?

What's the solution? Is it federalism, or is it we all go states' rights hardcore and really go after "if it's not in the constitution, it's left to the states?" I don't think Dems are going to solve this. We need a new party - ranked choice voting, a hard focus on calling this MAGA bullshit out.

What line has to be crossed before states consider secession, people consider rising up?

The accuracy of this feeling is terrifying #remember911 and the day after

Good morning!

RIP Jimmy Carter - one of the greatest leaders of the past century.

The Democratic Party continues to show how out of touch they are with elevating Connelly over AOC. While the party leadership may have a centrist view, the generation that is coming up now certainly does not. Is it time for a new Progressive Party?

Don't forget - people don't quit jobs, they quit bosses. Be the leader you wanted for yourself. And take care of your people, always.

I’m excited for @gregcasar.bsky.social’s leadership at the Progressive Caucus. He’s going to be great.

The day America decided to ignore Jared Kushner's $2 billion from the Saudis, and put an insurrection-inciting convicted felon back in the White House, is the day I stopped giving a shit about any "moral high ground." I hope President Biden takes his "presidential immunity" out for a fucking spin.

Do yourself a favor and watch this segment.

After 22 years in the military, I can say this - nationalism is dumb. We’re all in this together. This pale blue dot. We have to work together as a human race to make the best of life for all of us.

Pretty crazy someone can be charged federally with interfering in an election and those charges get dropped because they win an election.

For anyone that wants to join the DNC call tomorrow: mobilize.us/s/MNWwh4

Call every phone number in DC connected to someone who represents where you live (incl the White House), regardless of political affiliation and let them know you're opinion that there should be NO transition UNTIL Trump signs the ethics pledge!

Survived the big PNW storm. 4 days plus with no power. Lines, trees, and stuff down everywhere. Thank you to all who helped restore infrastructure.

Find your people, organize, and take care of each other. It's going to be a long fight.

Today I want to share this - welcome everyone to BlueSky! Let's continue to make this the place we all want to live.

Hasan was great, as usual.

For anyone needing a pick me up today, there’s a new Hasan Minhaj special on Netflix. I’ll let you know how it turns out in a few!

I’m so tired of this fight for a better world. My anger turned to sadness and I’m having a really hard time climbing back out of that and turning it into action.

If you’re part of the X exodus reply with a 💙 and please repost. I want my friends to follow you.

As VPNs have grown up to be the "be all, end all" of internet privacy, let's talk about what they really do. VPNs protect your privacy by hiding your real IP address so you can browse privately. 1) A VPN connection is an encrypted connection from your PC, phone, etc., to a VPN server somewhere.

Cyber tip of the day: in addition to using Signal for private conversations, enable Disappearing Messages. This deletes a message from all devices after the preset time runs down.

A must-read.
