Don't ever say you did not knowšŸ‘‡

Please pay attention to what the GOP is doing in North Carolina. They are continuing to try to steal a state Supreme Court seat. youtu.be/cHzbdAdR4vE

I agree, three hundred and sixty billion percent.

This account is impersonating me and asking people for money. Please report and block! @Muellershewr0te.bsky.social

The person who supposedly ā€œassaulted Nancy Maceā€ was just a foster youth advocate who literally did nothing more than shake her hand. Wow. imprintnews.org/top-stories/...

There are roughly 330M people in this country, and I realized this morning that for less than the cost of a cheap cup of coffee a day, a S. African billionaire was able to buy the Presidency, and in effect — the country. It’s both embarrassing and sad that, not only was it easy, but it was so cheap…

This is how the Postmaster General reacts when Members of Congress demand accountability.Ā  He’s the reason your prescriptions, paychecks, and bills are late.Ā  Embarrassing.

There is no one more committed to bringing about the downfall of America than Vladimir Putin. There is no one more self serving than Donald Trump. On any dating site, it's a 100% match.

We can’t have DEI but Kim Guilfoyle is Ambassador to Greece.

I do follow back. Due to medical issues give me a few days to check the app

The Trump administration will rescind a long-standing policy preventing immigration agents from arresting undocumented people at or near sensitive locations and events, including houses of worship, schools and hospitals funerals, weddings and public demonstrations. www.nbcnews.com/investigatio...

Revolting mob rule, Stalinist, Maoist, fascist, call it what you want, it is disgusting, with the power of the state and social media to mobilize the US version of China's Red Guard to target civil servants, professionals doing their job. Gift article. Please repost. www.wsj.com/tech/musk-un...

New, from me: Elon Musk, a man who runs an imaginary government department, accused a real government employee of having a fake job. He is wrong about this, and other claims about what he can do to eliminate regulations and cut spending. 🧵 donmoynihan.substack.com/p/fake-jobs-...

Elonia has made 405 ketamine-fueled posts on his social media app in the last 24 hours.

Trump will not deport migrants working for the companies of his friends and donors, and he will grant tariff exemptions for the companies of his friends and donors. Watch.

Bluesky is going to have a big problem if it doesn't do something about verification. Offering the same stupid system that Mastodon uses is not a solution. It needs to be easy for accounts to use AND easy for followers to see. It is becoming a daily frustration. @jay.bsky.team @safety.bsky.app

Oh but somehow WE are in an echo chamber. Lol www.mediaite.com/news/elon-mu...

Makes me sad re-reading this amazing letter from ex-Watergate Special Prosecutor Archibald Cox sent to high school seniors in 1994 after they asked him ā€œWhat should Americans learn from Watergate?ā€ 20 years later in ā€˜94. His answer is remarkable—unfortunately things didn’t work out so well in 2024.

The Handmaid's Tale is a good book. But did you know that there's a book written by a Black woman about a post-apocalyptic Earth heavily affected by climate change and societal decline. The book was published in 1993, but is set in 2024 following a presidential election šŸ‘€ #BookSky #BlackBookSky

True.

Indeed. When they rounded up the Japanese Americans, myself and my family included, for internment during WWII out of fear over Japanese spies and saboteurs, two thirds of us were U.S. citizens. Don’t think it won’t happen again when they come for the ā€œundocumented.ā€

The same people who keep screeching about Jeffrey Epstein sure don't seem to care to see the report on Matt Gaetz. Wonder why?

Notice how the same folks who called Kamala Harris ā€œunqualifiedā€ are excited about a Fox News host and Matt Gaetz landing jobs they’re wildly unfit for

I still can’t get over the insane quote by this insane guy.

Authoritarians want you to betray each other but they also encourage you to betray yourself through an inner moral collapse- you give up your agency and let the leader "fix it," and you disregard your moral compass.

A handful of billionaires now have unprecedented control over banking, the food we eat, the health care we can access and, now, the information we receive. This is what oligarchy looks like.

Remember: fascism thrives on apathy. The autocrats want you to tune out. They want to overwhelm you. They want you to give up. Don’t give them want they want. Stay in this fight. Remain vigilant. And let’s keep building.

It’s mostly white people who talk about echo chambers. Maybe you need the internet to meet people with different ideas but the rest of us do not. We know what the ā€œother sideā€ thinks because we deal with it every day! Everywhere! We’re fine. Carry on. Happy Saturday!

ā€œFire all the influencers and rebuild an authentic movement from the ground up.The sugar-high of narcissism that exists in a lot of punditry needs to give way to sober self-reflection.ā€

Ever since Citizens United, outside spending on elections by groups like super PACs has skyrocketed. The biggest individual donor to outside spending groups in 2024 was Timothy Mellon — heir to the Mellon banking fortune. This is how dynastic wealth corrupts our politics.

Never forget this: The GOP’s nonsensical culture war is meant to distract you from corporate corruption, worker oppression, and staggering wealth inequality.

Elon Musk says Americans must suffer the "hardship" of $2 trillion in cuts to public spending, while he still gets tax cuts, government contracts, and corporate welfare. No wonder I got a little angry talking about it. See this week's full Coffee Klatch here :

If the Matt Gaetz report exonerated him, he would not have resigned from Congress to avoid it.

I just wanna let everyone know that it’s not up to DoJ/Smith/Garland to release grand jury stuff. That’s up to a judge. It IS up to Garland whether he releases a Special Counsel report if one is written. A report must be written at the conclusion of probe - meaning the cases would have to be closed.
