Preach

Gilroy is a political & cultural hero. Andor is a masterpiece. Major kudos to Dan for standing up to the oppressive censorship we're seeing from his distributor Disney. True courage is putting principles before profit.

Lawmakers need to listen to the voices of the “mass shooting generation” and take action on gun violence, or we’ll put them out of a job. Register to vote by texting FUTURE to 644-33, then encourage three friends to register so they can be #VoteReady, too! 🗳️

From the pen of @hcrichardson.bsky.social (Heather Cox Richardson), a succinct indictment of Trumpian policies and enablers.

A brief public service announcement: Do not give up hope that we can overcome this. That’s how Trump and his regime wins.

RFK, Jr. has already broken so much, by halting studies and removing vital staff at the DOH. His devotion to conspiracy theories rejects scientific innovations like mRNA technology, which might cure cancer or yet-to-be-discovered diseases. @murray.senate.gov is right. He should be fired now!

Voting is not partisan; who we elect is partisan. Voting is patriotism. Republicans who are trying to block people from voting are attacking patriotism. - Stacy Abrams

On #WomensEqualityDay we honor the women who struggled hard & long to win the right to vote. Because of them, our democracy includes our voices – and that makes our country stronger.

#FuneralforDemocracy Spokane, August 23. Mourning for so many things Trump and his minions, including local Congressman Michael Baumgartner, have broken. The coffin was filled with notes calling attention to all the ways Republican policies hurt Americans and delivered to Baumgartner's office.

@billkristolbulwark.bsky.social From one book lover to another... I saw a great t-shirt yesterday at a protest I joined: Free people read freely My "books to read" list is so long I'll have to live to 100 to finish it. Of course by then I'll have added so many more...

Donations that actually fuel Democratic wins are so important. How can the party tolerate and even support Mothership when only 1.6% of donations go to candidates or the Democratic establishment. This article has put me off donating in response to all text messages, even tho some may be legit.

Just watched Professor @dblight.bsky.social on Lawrence O'Donnell. He gave an eloquent defense of the Enlightenment principles upon which our country was built and the inherent ability of young people to learn from the whole of American history, even the dark and ugly parts. #nowhitewashinghistory

“Low unemployment, stable inflation, strong GDP growth” Grok on the economy Biden left Trump… keep it handy for a rainy day… 👇🏽

What the world needs now is love....but our country also needs a free press, respect for science, education and our earth, policies that encourage diversity, equality and inclusion and so many other things Trump and his minions have ripped away.

Scary scoop by great independent reporter @aaronparnas.bsky.social describing how portions of the constitution (those dealing with due proces, habeas corpus and foreign gifts) were quietly deleted from the government-run website Constitution.Congress.Gov. No explanation, just a Page Not Found error.

Add your name to the petition demanding Congress pass legislation requiring all immigration agents to clearly display their agency and name or badge number—just like other local law enforcement are required to do. sign.moveon.org/petitions/un...

Good on the Texas dems… This isnt their first time getting in good trouble. Good on them! And shame on Texas republicans and greg abbott… Republicans can only win when they cheat. Y'all can come stay with me!!! I'll make breakfast but you gotta cook dinner! www.cnn.com/2025/08/03/p...

@timmiller.bsky.social asked @marcelias.bsky.social if he agreed with Tulsi Gabbard that his reluctance to post on X meant he was panicking. Here's the answer he wished he'd given after he watched her complete statement and thought about it.

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants. Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this. Do not.

Nothing disturbs me more than the glorification of stupidity. - Carl Sagan

Way to stand up for our rights. Thank you @jayapal.house.gov

I don't think people understand at all how easily the government can charge people with “interference” and “obstruction” of ICE activities.

After voting to kick millions of Americans off their health care, Republicans are focused on defunding PBS this week. Meanwhile, Democrats are introducing a bill I wrote with Rep. Bobby Scott to make child care affordable and accessible for every family.

100% agreee!

Tyrants view educated citizens as their greatest enemy. Slaveholders stopped the enslaved from learning to read. Nazis burned books. Dictators censor media. That’s why Trump is attacking the Dept. of Education, science, and the arts – to prevent us from learning. It's fascism.

Remember: The oligarchs who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us so they can become more powerful. They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see where all the wealth and power have gone. Don't fall for it.

Resist everywhere!

Anyone being detained by law enforcement in America deserves to know who is detaining them and why. I'm helping introduce the VISIBLE Act to simply require immigration officers display their badge number and agency. My full statement ⬇️

This year it feels more like the Farce of July.

#Treksky Among the more idealistic episodes of the Star Trek canon (yes - I'm a fan), this timely choice from the mostly hopeful Original Series (TOS) imagines a parallel "America" that has forgotten the meaning of its constitution.

America is beautiful, contradictory, unfinished. I am proud of our country even as we constantly strive to make it better, to protect and deepen our democracy, to fulfill its promise for each and every person who calls it home. Happy Independence Day. No Kings in America.

We will use their horrific agenda to turn voters against them by the millions in the midterms. And yes, there will be midterms. Don’t even think about voicing defeatism and doing their work for them.

Not exactly language I have been known to use but the sentiment by the North Carolina Democratic Party chairwoman brought me to tears. It's exactly what I needed to hear today!

Conservatives yell “socialism” at every initiative designed to help people. Maybe you've heard the word a few times this week.  But this is nothing more than an old scare tactic. Watch. https://youtu.be/xq02yuY4wDQ?si=Jr_pgtBwYmHNvjuj

He just dropped $280,000,000 worth of artillery in a war that’s not ours, but our grandparents have to live on Ramen noodles because America can’t afford Meals on Wheels anymore. Make it make sense.

“…let’s not mistake this as a bold act by an American president making a serious decision for the good of the nation. This is dangerously reckless, illegal and impeachable action by a malignant despot desperate to be seen as a strong man.” www.americaamerica.news/p/trump-unil...
