Additional question, What do you want to see more of on bluesky? I feel like there is a lot of news and a lot of takes so we can do that… but what do you feel is missing?

When you say “the democrats should be doing more” - what does that mean to you? Does that include breaking the law? I only ask because there is a wide demand for more - but constant criticism of any action (from Mamdani to Booker, somehow it’s never the right flavor of more).

Hey millennials, Get that tattoo, paint those walls or hang the pictures with nails. The people who have been telling us to watch out for our “permanent record” keep protecting people on the Epstein files, and keep choosing people who dismantle our institutions. The tattoo won’t ruin your life.

Your elected official has their finger to the wind right now, trying to figure out what’s next - here’s how you can effect what happens next. 1. Call their office and leave a voice mail. 2. Tag them on social media and demand they speak out. 3. Thank them when they do.

I do not care where the seat is, if you have an incumbent that isn’t calling for accountability for this illegal kidnapping - they must be primaried and replaced

True Breaking News (Washington Post): VA to cut 35,000 health care jobs across nation like nurses & doctors. VA already strained. Did our vets refuse to give back medals to melt into gold bars/coin/ballroom sconces for Trump? Truly the worst vets’ Christmas present ever.

Via Politico: "Polluters Pay" is dead in the California Legislature in 2026, and it's not even January yet.

Deputy Speaker Mike Johnson joked, “I’m not really a speaker of the House.” Except it wasn’t really a joke. That was the most honest moment of his interview.

Today the White House is moving to force millions of student loan borrowers to start paying again. Borrowers on the SAVE plan will need to select a new repayment plan. The Trump admin has just settled a case against SAVE plans brought by the state of Missouri.

"People want to be heard, Dan!" It’s almost as if Alaskans want their elected officials to listen to them. Wild, right? Protesters are standing up for Alaska & demanding Senator Dan Sullivan hold a town hall. Seems pretty basic, but here we are. See for yourself. youtu.be/_1wf4N4_GfQ?...

Hey happy weekend! The most grifty thing we will ever do, is ask you to use multi level marketing tactics to get your friends to listen to the podcast with you… so will you make a commitment to check out our newest episode today? If you’re a former DARE kid this should be easy to do!

My law firm is currently litigating 61 voting and election cases, including 12 redistricting cases. We have four cases in one stage or another before the Supreme Court. These cases — and others like them — will play a pivotal role in whether we have free and fair elections in 2026 and 2028.

I said it over a year ago: Trump’s plan was always to sell out Zelensky and hand Putin exactly what he wants. We cannot allow it to happen. If Putin were to push toward NATO countries, our treaty obligations could put American service members directly in harm’s way.

See, this is where racism and the belief of superiority over others makes White men like these two plot shyt like this. So, two white guys plotted to roll up on a island off of Haiti and take over. Pffft! Yeah, okay.🤭 My goodness! Where were their fathers? www.yahoo.com/news/videos/...

Ah, that explains MTG's odd resignation date; the Congressional pension vests after five years.

A president who speaks of death for dissent isn’t defending a nation, he’s claiming a throne. He names enemies so others will swing the sword. Power that fears questions always reaches for blood. Don’t give him the submission he’s seeking. Stand when he demands you kneel. #AuthoritarianAlert

What begins as “voter verification” today could be expanded later to background checks, travel screening, benefit investigations, or other government systems setting a precedent for federal data use the public never agreed to. On November 18, 2025, secretaries of state from ten states sent a formal

Because the SAVE system is known to contain incomplete or outdated records, U.S. citizens may be wrongly flagged as non-citizens due to name changes, clerical errors, or mismatched files resulting in voters being removed from rolls or forced to prove their citizenship just to cast a ballot.

This data sharing has triggered legal and constitutional concerns. Data sharing at this scale appears to expand federal power into state-administered elections, raising serious questions about the constitutional authority of states to control and manage their own election systems.

The Department of Justice (DOJ) quietly shared state voter-registration data with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), despite earlier assurances to state election officials that the information would only be used for routine voter-list maintenance. Beginning in May 2025, DOJ

🚨 BREAKING🚨 Doritos & Cheetos are going dye free after MAHA’s latest push, but it reads like the public health version of a Band Aid on a bullet wound. Dr. Céline Gounder says the risks of dye are tiny compared to the mountain of salt, sugar, & fat driving our health crisis. More on substack.

Republicans are hard at work protecting Trump while destroying healthcare in America for millions of Americans. Hospitals will fill up, medical debt will skyrocket, and lives will be lost. Subsidies aren’t political, they’re survival. #SaveHealthcareNotPedophiles

I just received my health insurance open enrollment. Employee + spouse: $$525.09 Family: $702.97 I make $823.13 per pay period!! How tf am I supposed to also pay medical bills, utilities, rising grocery costs, gas, etc? And our president’s only concern is himself?? #SaveHealthcareNotPedophiles

Republicans keep covering for predators while calling your healthcare “too expensive to protect.” We see the priorities, and they’re rotten. #SaveHealthcareNotPedophiles

Keep your eyes on Texas, folks. The TXGOP overplayed their hand. Tuesday night proved it and they’re panicking! Great video!👇🏽 Time for everyone to help us organize for the 2026 midterms, and say adios to Greg Abbott, Ken Paxton, and John Cornyn. Yippee ki-yay motherfu…

#ThankYouNancy for your vision and climate leadership in congress! Thank you for being a champion and partner with @envirovoters.bsky.social !

Alaskans stood together today to feed their neighbors outside of Nick Begich’s office. If he is not going to feed the people, we will. Nick do your job! Pay out SNAP benefits immediately. Photo credit: Jeff Chen, Native Movement.

Thank you Madam Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi! You fought for our healthcare, our environment, and for the people. Your service to our community and our nation will be celebrated through history, but your legacy will be the “Volunteers In Politics” that carry on. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/06/u...

This is such a grift, we can figure out food, housing, or water but they have the audacity to ask for MORE MONEY for the plagiarism machine that sometimes becomes evil. bsky.app/profile/unus...

Young people are organizing in their schools, on their campuses, in their work places. This is like going to a Sonny and Cher cover and concert and swing no one under 50 and saying “young people must not like music.” We all have our role and many of us are playing it.

He wants to enrage you with stories of “lazy kids” as they kick over 40 million people off food ASSISTANCE - pushing children, families, vets & the elderly off of a program that makes it so they don’t starve. All while shipping BILLIONS to Argentina. Get angry. Kick them out of office. #YesOnProp50

SNAP cut off. Children and seniors going hungry. ACA premiums skyrocketing, huge cuts to Medicaid and Medicare. Trump and Republicans would rather see Americans get sick and starve than negotiate. We MUST win the midterms and that starts with #YesOnProp50! Join us this weekend! linktr.ee/cadem

And USDA is blaming undocumented immigrants, trans people, and Democrats when it is all on Trump. Trump has an authorized $5B SNAP contingency fund he won't use because he wants to make people suffer to force Democrats to accept his terms. That includes children, veterans, active duty troops.
