His office number is (916) 445-2841.

Democrats stand with Al Green after a vote to censure him passes. Mike Johnson bangs the gavel as they start to sing.

You’ve gotta be fucking kidding me.

Green: I will suffer whatever the consequences are because I don't believe in the richest country in the world people should be without good health care. I stood up for my constituents then. I'm standing up for them now. I would do it again.

Holding up a little sign that says “please stop” as the notorious serial killer, Illiterate Bob, stabs me to death

NO! Yell you idiots! JFC YELL!!!!!!!! @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @schiff.senate.gov @schumer.senate.gov

A blurry dog runs in between a man’s legs towards the person holding the camera. Her tongue sticks out and she wears a pink flower on her collar. She has a white face and brown body with brown eyes and short legs.

🚨 BREAKING: After torpedoing yesterday’s meeting with Zelensky, JD Vance fled to Vermont for vacation—only to be met by hundreds of furious protesters. Couldn’t have happened to a better guy!

Hey so I just learned the EBT allotment for a single person in California is $23 a month. Per MONTH. and that’s something that people vote to get rid of and that politicians campaign on being government waste. $23. Which could keep someone from starving. Anyone against that is a soulless ghoul

It may feel hopeless right now, but there are actual, concrete ways you can fight back against what's happening in our government. Watch the full video on YouTube: No one is coming to save us. youtu.be/By1Z1nk31iE

I love LA. I’m in line for my stupid fancy coffee and a little kid with a Mohawk and bell bottoms that would do Kendrick proud toddles up to ask a long haired punk about his skateboard. Next door I’ll get authentic French croissants. Bachata music blasts from the sushi place. There are 18 dogs.

This is absolutely nuts. Jessica Lee Gagné your name will be remembered #Severance 🎥

@adamconover.net got me all riled up today. It's past time I got a little more involved. youtu.be/By1Z1nk31iE?... #politics #resist #fightfascist #powertothepeople #riseagainst #adamconover

less than one year ago, a clinical trial reported that all 41 rectal cancer patients enrolled had complete remission WITH NO SURGERY, RADIATION, OR CHEMOTHERAPY. Funded by the National Cancer Institute, which is part of NIH. 1200 firings, grants frozen. www.oncologynewscentral.com/article/dost...

This is Puddin and I love her.

I feel as if we're capable of acknowledging that a one-day boycott is mostly symbolic without becoming contemptuous and dismissive of people finding a little meaning and comfort in such a symbol. The scorn seems petty.

None of us can be sure what will “work.” You try multiple things and find your way in. Read some histories of the Civil Rights Movement by those who participated. They were never “sure” of what would work. Some campaigns fizzled out. But persistence, creativity, determination, and focus were key.

Imma be honest. It's really easy for me to boycott. I'm broke. So many of us have already cut out any "extras" we used to enjoy say 5 years ago. I used to get my nails done pretty regular, eat out once a week, purchase clothes when I saw something nice, travel for concerts. All cut on my end.

Tesla’s shareholders just lost another $38,640,000,000 today — a total $TSLA loss of $600 billion since December. Tesla’s CEO was not in the office. In literally any other public company ever, this would be the point where the CEO gets fired.

Friendly reminder that Joann Fabrics isn’t closing because it’s a bad business. It’s closing bc it was bought by a private equity firm. This is also what is happening to Hooters and what happened to US Toys R Us and Red Lobster. These companies are being dismantled intentionally.

Called my Senator. Told the nice woman he needs to do more. Get arrested, do something. She tried to direct me to a section on their website “News”—No, I told her. The Senator from CA needs to break through. News of his actions should find us, we shouldn’t have to hunt for a podcast. #CallYourReps

KNOBS AND CRANKS KNOBS AND CRANKS

Absolutely stunning directorial debut by Jessica Lee Gagne in the new SEVERANCE episode. One of the series' best episodes and definitely the best looking.

Rep. Grothman (R-WI): President Trump has done some very good things Crowd: Booooo

Hook me up to an IV drip of these booing videos. I can’t believe we’re getting them and hot Luigi on the same day. Banner Friday for the working class.

CSPAN Caller from West Virginia: I’m a diabetic and I’m on Medicare. When Biden was in there, my insulin was $6 for a 28 day supply. I just went to CVS, it went back up to $80…

Teachers teach. We need a leaderful movement, and there are leaders all around us.

I hope America is as lucky as the delta jet - everyone survives but the right wing explodes

This commission statement refers to people with Autism, ADHD, asthma, auto-immune disease, and chronic illness as a “dire threat to the American people and our way of life”. This is a manifesto against disability. This is the language of eugenics.

strongly agreed with Cara. some of y'all talk like you have hidden a spare population of unproblematic, unpropagandized people to build a mass movement out of under your couch cushions or something.

taking black kids away from their parents and putting them on farms seems really familiar to me! what could it be?

I've gotten to thumbs down two cybertrucks today, but I'm thinking about starting to do the big L forehead loser sign

Fascinating profile of a park ranger in San Francisco who works with unhoused residents and has adopted the novel tactic of treating them like human beings, building relationships, and helping them access resources on their own timeline.

hi, we spent all your tax dollars on reducing the number of taxpayers for absolutely no reason at all, we also need to borrow four trillion dollars

A.I. is a tool of oppression & erasure. Please stop enriching oligarchs by using it for your Blue Resistance memes. Just draw stick figures & use alt-text.

“The thing that I can’t get over is that the actual richest man in the world directed my fucking firing. I make $50k a year and work to keep drinking water safe. The richest man in the world decided that was an expense too great for the American taxpayer.”

I like that he posted a picture of a print-out of the email.

See here's how to do a headline. fortune.com/2025/02/13/e...

How does the president have time for this?

How much Elon Musk makes from the government a day: $8 million. How much a senior on Social Security gets a day: $65 Guess which budget Musk and Trump want to cut?

Union organizing taught me that the good work of leftism is slowly, gently, painstakingly and KINDLY keeping the door open for others to see how the system doesn’t benefit them. It is the work of de-indoctrination.

It's not complicated. They're just trying to stop women from being able to vote.

So interesting…

Started sobbing watching Paddington 2 because he looks just like my dog.
