The two days that JD Vance spent in Hungary desperately trying to shore up support for Putin’s lapdog Viktor Orbán reminded me of what a pathetic, loathsome, lying, traitorous scumbag he is.

Donald Trump must be removed from office for threatening war crimes and genocide. Speaker Johnson: bring the House back into session. Invoking the 25th Amendment and impeachment must be on the table, but Congress should also move on a War Powers resolution to stop Trump.

Not a fan of the TACO rhetoric. It’s not fair to the Iranian people, to everyone else stressed to the max all day, and to actual tacos.

Imagine being in Iran right now. Waiting. Waiting for 8 PM, knowing a man halfway across the world just said your entire civilization could be wiped at that hour. Your family in the next room. Your phone buzzing. No one knows if it’s real, bluff, or the last normal hour you’ll ever have.

The time to do something is now, and we must act.

You have more in common with the people of Iran than you do with anyone in this administration, any member of the technocracy, anyone who is profiting from this war, or any billionaire. When you see Iranians forming human chains outside key infrastructure sites, you should feel a sense of kinship.

I've now seen several posts from Democratic US Senators and House Reps calling for Congress to return to DC, and my only reaction to seeing these is: Do it. Just get on a plane and go back to DC. The House is in Recess, not adjourned. There was a pro forma session today. Go. Lead by example.

How it feels doing literally any task right now.

“A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again.” These are the words of the president of the United States, today. The president speaks genocide. And so we too must speak. Not only about crimes, but about their legal punishment. snyder.substack.com/p/the-presid...

Speaker Johnson, we are calling on you to bring the House back to DC IMMEDIATELY! The Cabinet needs to invoke the 25th Amendment. But Congress can’t just sit on its hands and wait for that to happen when the President is threatening to commit war crimes TONIGHT.

So pro-life means jailing women who miscarry but shrugging when the deranged president says “a whole civilization will die tonight.” Do I have that right?

Agreed. Time for Congress to defend the constitution and represent their constituents. This is a highly unpopular and illegal war! He’s threatening more war crimes. Hold Trump and his enablers accountable NOW. The lives of innocent people count on it!

@ericsorensen.bsky.social @baldwin.senate.gov @durbin.senate.gov POTUS is threatening more war crimes during this illegal war. Recess needs to come to a close.

Called @govpritzker.illinois.gov today to ask if there is anything he can do to rein in Trump given that Congress is on break & unwilling to do their job—to uphold the constitution & represent their constituents. This war is not only unconstitutional; it’s also illegal. Contact ALL of your reps!

How do you get your AIPAC funded dems in Congress to start representing the people and stop this illegal war and war crimes? Would they be ok with Iran targeting & bombing our universities, school, hospitals, bridges, etc. like we are doing to them?

Thankful for Mother Nature. Poppies and garlic blooming in the Midwest.

The American people have risen up and they are PISSED AS HELL. #HandsOff

Authoritarian fascism has been defeated in Wisconsin: Susan Crawford has won an open seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court race, keeping the high court's 4-3 liberal majority intact — soundly defeating Brad Schimel, the fascist candidate of Trump and neo-Nazi Elon Musk. 🙌🙏💪👏👊

Helpful infographic for those tryna figure out Musk’s “confusing hand gesture.” Looking at you corporate media.

Cornbread is ready for my mama’s dressing recipe! Nothing better than a cast iron skillet for the job. 😋

What are some accessible Infosec & Opsec resources that activists, journalists, and organizers can turn to in preparation for the Trump admin? Preparing for a fascist regime can feel scary and paralyzing. This seems like an area where people can take control w/ concrete steps. Please share below 👇🏽

Perhaps my Midwest garden can inspire us to keep going and growing despite the adverse conditions. #nature #flowers #snake

Hey y’all! Finally some good news! Gaetz withdraws! #ByeBitch apnews.com/article/gaet...

Good morning! Time to call your reps and shut down Nancy Mace's trans bathroom legislation, now. If you have a dem rep, there's a great call script linked below. I've augmented it a bit for my rep, who is publicly in favor of LGBTQ+ rights, if you are phone shy and want to write instead.

Talk about Indigenous people in the present tense. We are still here.

I should be working my paid gig, but instead I’m reporting all the maga misinformants up in here. It’s kinda fun!

Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance. Each year, the trans community loses too many lives, especially trans women of color, to hate and violence. More than ever, we must stand by our trans family and support them, hold space for them, and insist the scapegoating and targeting stop. Now.

Assembling a cabinet from the people in your group chat is certainly a choice.

Facts! 💯

G’morning good people of Bluesky. May you secure some peace and joy today. Don’t give your energy to those who don’t deserve it. Your energy is a precious resource. #nature #keepingmythoughtsabovethetrees

Never forget: READING FOR PLEASURE has the biggest positive impact of any factor on children's life chances. So never stop sharing books with kids. Never stop reading to them, and helping them to read. Never stop changing lives. #literacy #kidlit #books

Nailed it.

Mornin! These baby roses are hanging in there. How about you? #nature #flowers

Please put on your to-do list today to call (or otherwise contact) your reps and tell them to vote “no” on HR 9495. It’s quick, easy, and does make a difference. More info in the thread ⬇️
