Really feel like I’m losing my mind: government OBVIOUSLY cannot punish an individual law firm for hiring someone it disfavors! It’s ludicrously unconstitutional and I feel like without a day of law school I could argue the case. And yet the best paid lawyers in the country are folding?

1. Tulsi Gabbard was overseas while participating in the Signal chat. 2. Steven Witkoff was in Russia when he was added to the Signal chat. 3. Russia infiltrated Signal some time ago to use it against Ukrainians. It’s high time to Benghazi the shit out of Trump’s administration.

Hearing that firms are caving left and right after Paul Weiss. Many are eliminating all litigation and representation that is adverse to the Trump administration, including amicus briefs. Nonprofits and law clinics are next. We are watching the end of the rule of law in real time.

@katiepickett.bsky.social hi lady. Glad to see you here. <3

This is kind of cool. If you have a long thread, you type everything into one box and it divides it up into individual posts and posts it for you. bluesky-thread-composer.pages.dev

This is how history gets rewritten. One brazen act at a time.

@ohthatmomglow.bsky.social I am so happy to see you here too. 💙💙💙💙

Billionaires are bowing down. Media figures are bending a knee. Public figures want to accommodate. It is up to us to form a new opposition. We will not back down. We must not obey.

Spending a month on Bluesky has created a whole new model of a fight we need to be having right now. Not liberal vs. conservative or whatever, but respect vs manipulation. I am tired of being manipulated everywhere I go. That’s why I like it here, I feel like I’m in charge for once.

PLEASE REMEMBER: trump's win percentage is shaping up to be the third SMALLEST in history. He does NOT have a mandate, no matter what he says. That means we push back against every single batshit crazy policy he tries to pass. EVERYTHING. Mandate my ass.

As I have stated before, if the round-up of illegals goes unopposed, the political opponents will be next. And then, neighbors will denounce neighbors for suspicious activities. Trump said, numerous times, what was going to happen. Have you listen?

Remember that libraries are proof that not every goddamned thing needs to be “for profit.”

When insulin was first patented in 1923, the discoverers declined to put their names on it as they felt that insulin belonged to the public. 101 years later, insulin is inaccessible to thousands of Americans because of price gouging by near-monopoly private insurance corporations and their PBMs.

This is completely niche but at the end of S4 of Veronica Mars everyone was like WTF, why kill THAT character off? That was filmed in the middle of cheeto's first term & that actor is a scientologist who recently showed their pro-cheeto stance on twitter. Could it be the real cause?

I suspect this will keep happening

Every single year I order photo holiday cards and the past few years I've been ordering from Minted. This year I am being extra careful about where my $ goes. Looked up the CEO & her donations & she looks fine but I thought I'd check here to be safe. #shopblue #voteblue #teampete #kamala

Zuckerberg owns Facebook, Instagram, Threads, and WhatsApp. Jeff Bezos owns the Washington Post. Elon Musk owns Twitter/X. When multi-billionaires take control of our most vital platforms for communication, it’s not a win for free speech. It’s a win for oligarchy

MSM has ushered in fascism on a red carpet while interrogating Democracy under a bright light.

Such brazen corruption happening right out in the open. Welcome to the oligarchy.

CEO pay has skyrocketed 1,085% since 1978 The $7.25/hr fed. min wage hasn't moved in 15yrs The felon-elect is hiring billionaires to fire civil service workers in many gov't positions so they can rape the tills & pocket the cash. Everyone on Medicare & SS, protect yourselves

Can The Onion buy something else to give me a momentary jolt of happiness?

I don't have a large following but could we create a thread of small ways that we could spread kindness during all this shit to keep us sane and connected? Please add any ideas below. #dftba

For as long as I live, I will never understand how anyone could have chosen Trump over this.

When Trump first ran, I had a conversation with a guy I grew up with. I was talking about the dangers of electing someone like Trump and why we needed to expect better, morally speaking. Partway through, he stopped me and said, "We're aiming at two very different visions of America." 1/5

My brain won't stop connecting generational trauma and generational narcissism to patriarchy to capitalism to the loneliness.

All churches should be taxed. Repost if you agree.

don’t let the failures of some (major) news outlets disillusion you with media as a whole. and ESPECIALLY don’t let those failures desensitize you to attacks on free expression. we can criticize media failures while also fiercely defending media freedom.

If the legacy media was doing its job and not sucking up to Trump, this would be a national scandal. “Republicans filed four more lawsuits to stop the counting of certain ballots in the Pennsylvania general election.” www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

You can’t convince me insecurity isn’t behind the entirety patriarchal white supremacy system. Fragile shitheads ruining everything.

Do. Not. Obey. In. Advance.

Normalizing Trump is a bad idea. Period.

A middle schooler I know said "rape has been accepted by society for a while but now is going to be basically legal." This is what happens when you vote for rapists.

I am very lucky because my industry and those I work with on a daily basis are almost all openly liberal, thoughtful and kind. I wish I could share that comfort with those in less accepting spaces.

It is a bit jarring to me to see the reaction of the people who "won" this election. Why are they so angry? Why are they gleeful about the pain of others but then so bent out of place when we disengage with them? The cognitive dissonance is something to see.

Monday mood: powered by caffeine and a dash of fake it till you make it. #dftba

This very public demonstration that the laws that govern this country are made for you and I and not them, is what bothers me more than anything and I find so incredibly hard to swallow.

Is anyone else’s mutuals tab messed up? It is now blank?

I miss Kamala. And her joy.

Obviously this isn’t a surprise but I hate that all the cheating won’t be addressed.

I haven’t struggled with biting my nails in decades. Since the election, I now have nubby fingernails. (Gross, I know) Sigh. Going to start running again tomorrow too cope with the stress.

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.

Not my typical crafting but my most recent project was for my oldest for Halloween. I made the hat and cane. #craftiverse

No post-mortems. No hang-wringing. Zero introspection. America didn't reject us: it was rigged! Why shouldn't Dems do the same? Obviously, I'm saying this as a joke, but in some ways it's points to how cramped the post-mortem convo is and also how much it is almost certainly missing.

I grew up in SW Louisiana in the 80s. By age 6, I’d already had my first taste of what it felt like to challenge family on racism. David Duke was running for President, and I realized some relatives were supporting him. Even as a kid, I knew this was wrong.

Too many of us grew up on superhero movies, expecting a Tony Stark or Batman to save the day. But real solutions are usually a lot of work—and not very flashy. When they mocked HRC for being too prepared, that should’ve been a flashing sign. Real change isn’t glamorous, but it’s necessary.

This is excellent advice from the Daughter of MLK and Coretta Scott♥️ #NeverSayHisName *I’ve called him “Yam Tits” for years 💀

Are we going to see more corporations pushing back on the insanity? I can't believe EXON is trying to keep us in the Paris Climate Agreement. I'm not naive enough to think corporations will save us but is it possible that their greed can curb SOME of it?
