We asked Callum of @onceuponavhs.bsky.social to lend his mellifluous voice to a radio play version of Goethe's chilling 1797 poem "Der Erlkönig". And somehow, the result is even better than we dared imagine! 😱

Every representative who voted yes voted for more brutalization of our neighbors, more kidnapping of our children, more trampling of our rights, and more murder from this government.

@schumer.senate.gov Sen Schumer: Do not betray the American ppl by funding ICE or DHS. If you can't stomach standing up to this illegit 'president', then, kindly step down. Use your damn leverage already!

Call your MOC. 5Calls even gives you a script if you aren’t sure what to say. It’s essential to express your opinion. Their offices log the calls and the views expressed. Don’t assume they know what you think because you post something on social media.

Mamdani: "I am in support of abolishing ICE. What we see is an entity that has no interest in fulfilling its stated reason to exist. We're seeing a government agency that is supposed to be enforcing some kind of immigration law, but instead what it's doing is terrorizing people."

Hi Humans, God here. Regarding Greenland, God has a question for thee. WHERE THE FUCK IS CONGRESS?!?

It is up to constituents in ALL states to LIGHT UP CONGRESS. Demand action. This administration serves none of us. Call your Representatives.

I hope people support birchbark books in the twin cities which is run by Ojibwe writer Louise Erdrich. birchbarkbooks.com

That’s my representative !

The absolute accuracy of this.

I used to work in this industry and this is all true.

Murphy: The United States Congress should not fund a Department of Homeland Security that is not obeying the laws of the United States of America

AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.

Republicans let ACA tax credits expire and now healthcare costs are doubling for over 22 million Americans. House Democrats and a few Republicans are forcing a vote to undo this before millions lose health coverage, but your GOP representative needs to hear from you ASAP. indivisible.org/reso...

BREAKING: A federal judge blocked the Trump administration’s attacks on Head Start programs that provide education and care to children from low-income families.

Reformed January 6th participant (who refused a pardon): “You can't gaslight me. I was there. I saw the officers being pepper sprayed. I watched one of them fall down and hit his head and his back. So don't be telling me it wasn't violent.”

Having read two of their books now, Riley Sager is like Christopher Pike for adults.

He seems trustworthy.

I’m sick and do you think I get an ounce of space or a moments peace? No. My S.O. always has to piggyback off of me when I’m sick. Literally if I don’t feel good, he will also say he doesn’t feel good. It’s fucking maddening. One of us has to be functional & it always has to be me no matter what.

New episode: The Borrowers (1997). Listen: linktr.ee/onceuponavhs We’re crashing into our new season with an action-packed adaptation of Mary Norton’s classic children’s books. Why the double bill with Spice World? Listen and find out!

Happy to see some that I have read and also yet to read on here!

Why does everything you need on a daily basis break all at the same time, especially during the holidays?!!! 😭

The most common question I receive is how everyday citizens can help in the fight for democracy. My advice, take the first step, start with something small and see what works for you. Here are ten things all of us can do. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/10-t...

I’d certainly take them over a mortuary molester like Stephen Miller.

The stuff in the latest round of Epstein files is like, the worst of the worst. How anyone that calls themselves pro-life can defend that shit is obvious proof that they are in fact, not pro life.

Today is the deadline to release the Epstein files. The DOJ is refusing to comply. This is about justice for survivors and holding participants and co-conspirators accountable. The Epstein Files Act is the law, not a suggestion. Release the files. Immediately.

The Department of Health & Human Services announced proposed rule changes to Medicare and Medicaid this week which seek to eliminate access to medically necessary care for transgender youth. Let’s be clear: it is still legal to provide this necessary health care to trans youth in Vermont. 🧵

This entire weekend

We aren’t going to defeat fascism with a politics-as-usual approach. So we’re gearing up for a massive primary program to put forward a new wave of candidates who can win at the ballot box and in the battle to defend democracy. Let’s get to work: indivisible2026.org/?utm_source=bluesky

Rep. Jasmine Crockett is running for US Senate. youtu.be/W-Pe1GifYLs?...

Official flyer for Vermont Solstice Yule O Ween Lunacy! Comment with any questions 🖤

Special event space for this last lunacy of the year!!!

I'll be honest. I thought there was a limit on presidential pardons (5) & you could only do it during the last month of your presidency. I had absolutely no idea that a president could pardon an infinite amount of criminals onto the streets every. day. of his presidency. That's a bonkers power.

😡😡😡😡😡

Sacramento! In just 2 weeks the Krampus Cabaret comes to town! Headlined by Dahli from Dragula season 4, we are going to bring some big thrills and scares to the holiday season! I will be your host entertaining you (doing my best anyway) between acts. Tickets at lovehorrorevents.com

No one was going to tell me that UP is depressing as hell for the first 20 minutes?

It’s the busiest shopping period of the year, so we’re hitting pause on buying from corporations that enable Trump’s fascist agenda: weaintbuyingit.com/?utm_source=bluesky

Come see me at Scout Bakery after hours at 696 Pine St. Burlington this Sunday! I will also be bringing some of my personal stash that will all be $10 a bottle regardless of fill level and donating the sales of them to the WAMTH program (helps low income VT’rs have heat in the winter).

Between Thursday and next Monday, join us in hitting pause on buying from corporations that enable Trump’s fascist agenda: weaintbuyingit.com/?utm_source=bluesky

Beyond excited to see Wicked For Good tonight 🖤🖤🖤💗💗💗💗💚💚💚💚

It will not go to the 5th Circuit. By law it goes straight to SCOTUS. Ron DeSantis is a moron. For accurate information, analysis and opinion about voting rights and elections in the courts subscribe to Democracy Docket. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

LOL air taxi’s…you could never pay me enough to even put a toe in one.

We don’t have to choose — we can win the midterms *AND* build a Democratic Party that actually fights for us: indivisible2026.org/?utm_source=bluesky

Don't forget Transanta is happening again this year for the holidays buy.transanta.com

Authoritarianism can only succeed when democracy fails to deliver for working people. Authoritarian parties can only succeed when the pro-democracy parties fail to fight for working people. We need a new democracy and a new party system which can represent working people.

Goddamn you @schumer.senate.gov I cannot wait until your decrepit soul is no longer able to screw us all over anymore.

Lowering the cost of weight loss drugs before actual fucking insulin that millions of people need to actually survive is despicable.
