It is easy to give consent. Everyone should chip in. bsky.app/profile/dogs...

People are being kidnapped into unmarked vans by masked police. There is a genocide happening in Palestine. Literal billionaires have taken over our government. And all Democratic leadership can do is send us another fundraising text?

My name is Graham Platner and I’m running for US Senate to defeat Susan Collins and topple the oligarchy that’s destroying our country. I’m a veteran, oysterman, and working class Mainer who’s seen this state become unlivable for working people. And that makes me deeply angry.

Do you know how insane and infuriating it is to live in a country where one party claims, with media and public support, the mantle of being the ‘tough on crime’ party while its leader openly calls for convicted criminals to be released from prison ‘or else’?

Making America Great Again? 💔

every day Angelenos are mobilizing daily to push back against the Trump administration’s month-long immigration blitz in Los Angeles. we joined some of them early this morning ahead of the latest raids.

"We're for cures; they're for cuts" That's solid messaging.

I'm attending May Day Strong's event, “May Day Strong: We are the Many in Mountain View” - sign up now to join me! www.mobilize.us/mobilize/eve...

I hope for this …

Happy Easter ya’ll!!

I want to tell you why the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia should matter to you. The one power you cannot give the executive is the ability to imprison or expel anyone regardless of their legal rights. That is our key check against autocracy. And we are watching it disappear.

The Trump-Supreme Court battle is not really the crisis. The crisis is here now. Trump is enacting an insidious coordinated attack on our institutions of democratic accountability, designed to crater democracy before next fall. 1/ A long 🧵to explain the plan & how we stop it.

DO SOMETHING

Impeach at minimum.

Thank you @wired.com

This is horrible and my fear is this is one of the first steps that may lead to the overturning of the civil rights act….I hope I am wrong 😑

That is both messed up and disgraceful! You can’t just delete history! Arlington National Cemetery has removed information about prominent Black, Hispanic, and female service members, as well as topics such as the Civil War, from its website.

Democrats will not protect us. What now???

Call to action: National Day Of Protest, March 14. Find a protest near you. "Good people, what are we waiting on?" #3E #StandWithUkraine #TeslaTakeDown #FuckICE #FreePalestine #14thNow

It never occurs to them that God gave him the scientists who created the vaccine, a public health system that encouraged it, and doctors to administer it. Never.

As a Republican DA, Brad Schimel let 26 rape kits sit untested—including one for a three year-old victim. This is on top of the 6,000 kits he let sit untested for over two years as AG. Brad Schimel has failed victims his entire career.

Judge Crawford to @meiselasb.bsky.social: We need to have a Wisconsin Supreme Court that’s working for the people of Wisconsin, not one that is working for Elon Musk.

One of my companies informed me they cancelled a $2m conference in Florida. Why ? They didn’t feel they could pass on the incremental cost of tariffs. So they are cutting expenses. That’s a city that lost a ton of tourism revenue. The cost of tariffs isn’t just the cost of the tariff

Do you think the rich folk who voted their pocketbook are prepared to hangup on their friends and families who call them for help when this economy plunges into the abyss? Or will they shell out the millions it will take to help them stay alive and out of poverty? Just wondering 🤔

A couple of golf outings could pay for over 300 federal jobs for an entire year.

“What’s transpired over the last three or four days just takes it to a whole new level of cruelty and inhumanity and, frankly, a whole new level of stupidity in doing this is the most non-strategic way.” Tens of thousands of people will die as a result of this action. www.salon.com/2025/02/28/a...

@schiff.senate.gov @aoc.bsky.social @repjasmine.bsky.social @raskin.house.gov Maybe Pete Buttigiege could be the spokesperson.

Dems, please do a daily press briefing. One that includes a simple rundown of what the admin did that day and the ramifications of it. Follow it up with the same message everyday about their motives and what will be the consequences. Be specific. The facts will speak for themselves. Don’t get cute..

Today seems like a good day to flag this petition.

Great footnote here in the section on standing.

Job cuts last month higher than any February since 2009

Say something to your representatives

“Those nasty Canadians are ripping us off and are controlled by Mexican cartels. They’re poisoning us with fentanyl and need to become the 51st state or they will pay a high price” is a belief that literally ZERO Americans had six weeks ago. It’s entirely invented from scratch.

And again...

If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company. It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create. They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms. I’m happy to invest and/or help

So, the AP and Reuters aren’t allowed to be in the Oval Office but TASS, a Russian news source, is welcome as our fat, orange leader attempts to berate a man he doesn’t have 1/3 the integrity of. Also as he chats with his Russian buddy on the phone as America gets dumber…. Why are we allowing this

Russia and China, have ramped up recruitment efforts targeting US federal employees—particularly those recently fired or at risk of termination. These efforts are unfolding aggressively on LinkedIn, where adversaries are reaching out under the guise of job opportunities, networking, and consulting.

Lift the cap.
