#BTTC via @calltoactivism.bsky.social Haley Stevens didn’t hold anything back when #DipshitDon's BALLROOM came up. "You matter. You're paying for this government... it isn't working for you; it's just for the billionaires & the selfish class that's sitting there in the WH." "Give me a break." 🔥

'Go To SAG, Get A Bunch Of Guys Together': Kevin Nash Urges WWE Stars To Unionize wrestlingnews.co/wwe-news/sag...

In Michigan’s US Senate Dem primary, US Rep Haley Stevens is unmasking ICE and having them independently reviewed. State Senator Mallory McMorrow is keeping ICE out of courts, churches, and schools. Abdul El-Sayed says, “Fuck ICE”, so obviously he calls himself the only progressive. #deedsnotwords

Joan Baez has announced her retirement from the stage at the age of 85. “This is not just the end of my career. It’s the final chapter of an entire era — an era of idealism, of protest, of songs that dared to challenge power and awaken hearts.

DEAR RESTAURANTS: Your servers are not volunteers. If you can't afford to pay them more than 2.13% of what you charge, you can't afford to run a business. Thank you!

And where is the outrage from mainstream media outlets over this? Crickets. 🦗

We’re deeply grateful to all of the Tennessee Indivisibles and everyone else across the state who showed up in defense of democracy. We the People — especially Black and Brown Americans — have opposed tyranny in the past. The road may be longer than we hoped, but we will win. Again.

I’m continuously scolded that I’m confusing nuanced criticism of Netanyahu and calling that antisemitism. Maybe I’m missing some finer detail here. Can someone explain to me how this is just a valid critique of Netanyahu?

Protesters are singing civil rights songs in the Tennessee Senate State and Local Government Committee.

I want Kyle Rittenhouse to live a long life of infamy as a constant reminder that Republicans paraded this blubbering, baby-faced murderer around for years. This is the face of The Republican Party.

A brief guitar lesson to my raucous adaptation of “All You Fascists (Bound To Lose)” by Woody Guthrie Here’s the style I enjoy, but I want to know: What are your favorite verses or lines you’ve heard or sung for this song? www.tiktok.com/t/ZTkWNoF3M/

Bruce Springsteen and the E-Street Band are telling us something important #USDemocracy

Thousands in downtown Tucson AZ today walk out of work and school...

Woody Guthrie sang: “I’m gonna tell you fascists you might be surprised, people of this world are getting organized.” The people of Novi, Mi are getting organized. And you know what? “All you fascists bound to lose.” @novidems.bsky.social @japulver.bsky.social #mayday #workersoverbillionairs

Volunteering at church during the day. Protesting in the evening. Allowing my lack of participation in the economy to be a small meditation for myself, like a fast. Hopefully we can each do our part to make our numbers known. #solidarityforever #mayday #generalstrike

I released my 2025 tax returns, and now I’m urging all Members of Congress and candidates for Congress to do the same. I’m not a millionaire, and at a time when Michiganders are sick and tired of politicians running for office to get rich, we owe the public the transparency they deserve.

Ugh, I’d be happy to be proven wrong, but I’m fairly confident we’ll regret promoting Graham Platner. Dude is all 🚩 red flags. We’re so desperate for a roughneck liberal, we’ll overlook the warning signs. I was right about not trusting Fetterman. I hate to be right about Platner too.

Hillary was right about everything.

Don't call it "expanding" SCOTUS. And, for God's sake, don't call it "court-packing." Call it **right-sizing** the Court. (There are 13 circuits now -- not the 9 circuits there were when it was set at 9 justices 157 effing yrs ago!) Or call it *modernizing* the Court. Thank you.

"Why is it controversial to step in when someone’s getting bullied and try to stop it?” —Billie Eilish Kudos to Billie for speaking out and for standing up to the bullies. We could use a lot more of that these days.

there is something genuinely clarifying and useful about this kind of stuff. they are totally hoods off and proud of it, which means we should not hesitate to describe them accordingly

You’re telling me these are two different dudes?

We did! We passed a bill to fund the Secret Service and TSA and FEMA 100-0. If Speaker Johnson would just call it for a vote, it would pass. That’s the problem.

Hakeem Jeffries responds to Karoline Leavitt: She wants to lecture us about civility? Get lost. Clean up your own house before you have anything to say to us.

NO 👇 BULLSHIT DETECTED HERE, MR. PRESIDENT.......

About last night’s scrambling from gun fire at White House reporters dinner .. Rep Jamie Raskin (D-MD) makes a critical point on CNN: “This is happening in schools across the country.. the kids have no resources to process their trauma”

People here are being really shitty, including at fellow journalists who've been traumatized, and you will regret those posts. Or should. Also this does not help your political cause, whatever that might be.

Sorry, but if you’re mad that the Southern Poverty Law Center paid informants to infiltrate Nazi groups to expose them, then you are a Nazi.

But this is the guy the far-left insists Dems need to embrace… I keep saying Piker needs our normalization and credibility more than any candidate needs his clicks.

Donald Trump and Republicans have tried to rig the 2026 midterms. Today in Virginia, voters sent them a clear message: The power is with the people.

Driving through Berkeley on the way to the city. Just passed an overpass and the great big sign on it said only, “SHE WAS 13.“ Oh, my, the next overpass had the same sign. Bless the resistance and everybody who works in it.

I don’t care if our elected officials have affairs, that’s between them and their spouses. I care when they’re harming people, especially if they’re using the power or resources of their office to do so. You’re the speaker, take some responsibility, use your authority!

You may have seen coverage or responses to disruptions at the Michigan Democratic Party Convention yesterday. Here’s my first-hand perspective as a constituent of US Representative Haley Stevens who had an opportunity to hear her speak to her district when she wasn’t shouted down by her opponents.

If you are asking why wait until now in regard to Eric Swalwell, you’re not part of the solution. You are part of the problem.

"She’s been a court interpreter for over 20 years, the only one licensed in Texas for Hindi, Punjabi, or Urdu. Her language skills are requested nationwide..." "One of her children recently enlisted in the military... www.texasobserver.org/immigration-...

Here at the Mi Democratic Women’s Caucus luncheon. Corey Booker gave a compelling keynote address and literally had the room on our feet multiple times. There’s a slight delay waiting for Kamala Harris to arrive for her keynote. Beshear squeezed himself in unannounced for a 2 minute yawn fest. 🥱

Either these MAGA Christian Nationalists are biblically illiterate blasphemers or there are a lot more f-words and n-words in the Bible than I remember. www.newsweek.com/people-ask-p...

Jim Jordan is commenting on Eric Swalwell's sexual misconduct allegations. Jordan was assistant wrestling coach at Ohio State while team doctor Richard Strauss sexually abused at least 177 athletes. Multiple wrestlers testified under oath they told Jordan. He did nothing. He was never charged.

The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) admitted it has no evidence that Vermont is not complying with federal voter roll maintenance laws — an admission that could further weaken its case for amassing voters’ sensitive data. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

I feel like people focus a little too much on Bruce Springsteen having a slightly cringey stage persona singing boomer music and not enough on that boomer music being pretty fuckin good and him genuinely caring about stuff

BOYLE: The CBO says the big beautiful bill eliminates healthcare coverage for more than 15 million Americans. Are they really all, according to you, illegals and defrauding the system. That's really your position? RUSS VOUGHT: Yes BOYLE: That's laughable!

KERNEN: We'd never be able to send anyone back if you needed a judicial warrant every single time RAND PAUL: Well, I don't think that's true. Obeying the 4th Amendment of the Constitution shouldn't be too difficult. It's something we fought the revolution over.

Democratic Senator Raphael Warnock on passing a war powers resolution: "We are calling on our Republican colleagues to stand up and do their job. The American people are clear, they do not want this war, and it's up to us to hold this unhinged, unaccountable president accountable."

Today, the people of #Hungary toppled their tyrant. America, our return to democracy requires our full attention. We can see it can be done!

May Victor Orbán simply be the first in a string of countries engaging in overdue housecleaning by kicking their authoritarian leaders to the curb.

Victor Orbán’s removal sends a timely signal. Corrupt kleptocratic Christian nationalism was on the ballot in Hungary today — just as it will be on the ballots that Americans will cast in November. It was repudiated abroad — may it be repudiated here in November (and beyond).
