Rereading the article and getting even more hopping mad, although we'll note we've been apoplectic over this since it happened. "Of the 25 most populous cities in America, only Nashville, Oklahoma City & Jacksonville don’t have a Democrat representing any part of the city in the current Congress."

This. If I had a Wayback Machine and could go change something, I would probably start with this.

America is a mafia state running a protection racket in the interest of the boss, not the people www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1... bsky.app/profile/john...

Their closing message to Indiana: change your maps to artificially benefit the President's political party or 'roads will not be paved' as punishment. They are openly saying this. Who would want to live in a country that works like that?

The TN Supreme Court made history today by becoming the first court in the nation to ever block a voter from challenging the constitutionality of their voting district. The TN Senate map drawn by Republicans was ruled illegal. But instead of demanding a legal map, the high court threw out the case.

🧵Everyone should know about the "freedom city" in Honduras. It's another reason Trump pardoned the narco-trafficking ex-president. That freedom city is called Prospera. It's a special economic zone founded in Honduras by a bunch of Trump's tech thugs, including Peter Thiel and Marc Andreessen.

It’s way past time for every WH reporter to speak out to Trump’s face when he’s insulting female reporters. Is your access so critical that you’ll allow your colleagues to be abused?

Texas, let’s win this thing. #JasmineForUS #TexasTough

I have been perfectly happy since the switch to Tidal, the playlist transfer was pretty seamless and my literal only problem is remembering which icon to use on my phone to get to the music since I can't find the green circle anymore

It’s important to remember there are two scandals here: 1. The Administration has likely committed war crimes. 2. But the entire operation - which now includes two dozen attacks - is illegal. In our democracy, the President CANNOT wage war without the consent of the people.

Every paper in America should have a 6 inch headline: Sitting Member of Congress, Adelita Grivalja, Attacked by Trump's ICE with Chemical Weapons. The Congresswoman was hit by gas pellet munitions when coming upon an ICE abduction at a restaurant she frequents in her community. #ICELawlessness

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market. Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today. Four giants control 80% of meat processing. The evidence of corporate consolidation is everywhere. It means more power for them and less freedom for you.

All y’all volunteers should be proud of what you did. Please please please bring that energy a year from now. It will mean even more!

This US Senator is pointing out something very wrong. What will be done about it?

One thing about the Biden admin. is that, two or three levels down, there were tons of smart, focused, pro-social people doing great things that never rose to the level of a headline. Conversely, an enormous amount of the damage Trumpies are doing never makes the news.

“The decision was made to exclude me from the filmed production of Swan Lake because I was told my brown skin would disrupt the aesthetic.” ~ Misty Copeland When folks gripe about DEI, remind them who benefited from shutting out dancers like Copeland. That pattern runs through our whole history.

BREAKING: All House Democrats have signed our discharge petition to extend the ACA tax credits. That makes 214. We can protect health care and lower costs — if only 4 Republicans will join us.

How many four year olds do you think would be able to represent themselves in court, in another language, with no familiar faces nearby? Zero. It's zero.

Utahns deserve open hearings, nonpartisan analysis, and a commitment that any change protects judicial independence—which is essential to fairness and equal justice for every community in our state. 🔗 The Salt Lake Tribune:

TN7 includes my home town of Waverly. Waverly has been through a lot, from the propane tank car explosion back in the 70’s (which was a tipping point that gave us FEMA) to the recent flooding. Maybe it’s time to return to being a democratic stronghold. Lots of good-hearted folks back home.

New ad dropped. Let’s go! I'm running for Congress in Utah's 1st District to take on big corporations & the billionaires. To make housing & energy more affordable, fight for Medicare for All, protect our public lands, & to build a future for all of us.

A 39yo Black man Torrence Medley was found hanging from a tree at Brookfield Hills Golf Course on Nov 13. Police ruled it a suicide. His family is demanding proof and transparency. Police have provided neither. Given this country’s history of lynching Black Americans, transparency is the minimum

He's going to kill so many people and we're powerless to stop it. One of the most vile humans currently wandering around this watery rock.

Today is the anniversary of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. Not only did the law literally open doors to countless students with disabilities (myself included), it also had the unintended consequence of creating the moral panic around an autism "epidemic." 🧵 1/

“Ah, just one more thing, sir. You’re blowing up those boats, saying they’re filled with drugs headed for the US. But then you go and pardon the guy who brought in 400 tons of cocaine. That’s billions of doses. Help me understand that.”

Our allies are no longer sharing intelligence Our trading partners are seeking more reliable supply chains Our long-standing treaties and commitment to human rights don’t mean shit Neighbors are turning in neighbors Tell me when we’re great again

#TN7 — REP. @aftynbehn.bsky.social To @joyannreid.bsky.social : “Ban congressional stock trading. It’s disgusting when members walk out of Congress as millionaires." She's endorsed by End Citizens United, doesn't take corporate PAC or AIPAC💰 — will🤖Van Epps’ billionaire donors let him say this?

Every single congressional Democrat needs to be out there, right now, insisting that Pete Hegseth resign right now and announcing that he will be held accountable for committing war crimes. If you do not demand accountability here and now, they will only become more emboldened.

Hegseth issued an illegal Caribbean strike order: “Kill them all.” SEAL Team 6 hit the boat and saw survivors clinging to the wreckage. Commanders then ordered a second strike to finish them off. Killing survivors is blatantly illegal. #WarCrimes

🧵A court security guard at the Licht Judicial Complex in Providence, Rhode Island, noticed a masked man taking photographs inside the courtroom. A few minutes later, ICE agents arrested a high school-age boy outside the courthouse and placed him in handcuffs. But...

It’s the busiest shopping period of the year, so we’re hitting pause on buying from corporations that enable Trump’s fascist agenda: weaintbuyingit.com/?utm_source=bluesky

Afghanis who worked with the US have earned our gratitude and support. We should give it not just so people will help us in the future, but because it’s the right thing to do. This is blatantly wrong.

Sign at the US Military Academy at West Point:

This is lunacy. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is, at best, an environmental lawyer. He has no experience or degree in medicine or science. This is tantamount to me, an English major, giving NASA a Post-It outlining how they should revise their entire approach to the astrophysics of dark energy.

This is fu*king outrageous! The federal government on Saturday dismissed charges against a Utah plastic surgeon accused of throwing away COVID-19 vaccines, giving children saline shots instead of the vaccine and selling faked vaccination cards. apnews.com/article/utah...

Just because you fire everyone who says what you want to do is illegal…doesn’t make it legal.
