"Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth stood before them and declared: “We unleash overwhelming and punishing violence on the enemy.” The enemy being the people of this country, the people of the world, and anyone who opposes Trump/MAGA." — welcome to 1935 Nazi Germany, folks

Use your voice. Use your vote. Repeat.

And just like that, the ‘No New Wars’ people are all-in on a new war. Proving yet again that they really believe in nothing other than what one man tells them to believe today. Which could be different tomorrow. The very definition of a cult.

You can't call immigrants lazy moochers looking for government handouts and then round them up at Home Depots where you know they are looking for work. You can't say immigrants don't follow the rules and then round them up in courthouses where they are following the rules. Get your lies straight.

Bad news for all women. www.pbs.org/newshour/hea...

We often look back on the seminal moments in our history and wonder "What would I have done?" This is our moment. This is our time. We must stand up. We must speak out. We must do everything we can to stop a President who has every intention of destroying our democracy.

It’s not Liberation Day. It’s Inflation Day.

So 77 million Americans voted for a vengeful convicted felon who’s pursued a life of crime and promised he’d exploit the presidency for retribution. No one should be surprised this sociopath, immunized by the Supreme Court, is now acting in an utterly lawless manner.

Let’s Celebrate Women’s day with the amazing Women on Bluesky. Some are activists, some are celebrities, all are AMAZING. Please give every single one of them a follow. I get my inspiration from the women in my life. Thank you for all you do every single day. go.bsky.app/QrHHWCM

Wow. No one should have to work under these conditions. I hope they sue. This is straight-up authoritarian. NEW: DHS is now forcing employees to take polygraph tests to hunt down leakers.

Tariffs don’t punish foreign countries—they punish us. If we want a strong economy, we need free and fair trade, not government-imposed price hikes.

As a professor of English, allow me to try, humbly and with the proper respect, to offer an appropriate response to the President’s address: Fuck you, you fucked-up fuck, and fuck all the fuckers who willingly fuck with you, especially. You can all fuck all the way off, and then fuck off some more.

Fuck Trump, fuck JD and what the serious fuck is up with silent/sulking Marco?

All of USA is rooting for Canada in tonight’s hockey game.

My brother runs a B&B in Alaska. He received this message today from a Canadian family. The damage Trump is doing will take decades to repair.

Grassroots communities are the heart of true, lasting change. Show our volunteers some love 💕 follow one or all. go.bsky.app/VTGjgXE

Didn’t watch any news today. Just wanna say three words…#StillWithHer

To everybody who said our Nazi comparisons were hyperbolic:

The world is about to change. Before I can start to face those changes I want to say "THANK YOU" Mr. President and Madam Vice President. You brought fairness and decency back to the people's house. I will always be proud of voting for each of you!

Talk to your kids—especially your teen and preteen sons. The Oath Keepers are back with new leadership—leaked documents reveal they’re targeting youth to rebuild their image, with a focus on the Boy Scouts.

I have several, yes, several friends who have children who are currently serving in our military. I can’t even begin to explain to you the level of fear they have right now for the safety of their children moving forward. Our service members and their families deserve real leadership. Please 🙏🏼 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼
