Trump must resign.

Democrats at every level of power could simply repeat "he must resign" over and over and over again. It's what the GOP would do if the situation were reversed. Further erode his power by pushing him to lash out more.

and no one said that with more facts than Sarah Kendzior

@safety.bsky.app Why did Bluesky SUSPEND Dr. Sarah Kendzior?

If you want to be helpful and defend Portland immigrants, start by taking one of PIRC's trainings. they are listed on their linktree, not their website linktr.ee/pirc_pdx

I messed up my mental health tracking 6 months of news stories of CSA, tracking down political affiliation and profession. Using the most stringent criteria, Republicans are 16x likelier to rape a child than Democrats are. Cops and clergy were the professions of the two largest groups of offenders.

the thorn in this rose is that my mother in law would be able to visit very easily (clears throat) i mean the best part about this is older folks who don't want to drive alone on busy freeways can travel safely and peacefully to visit relatives

Cascadia Innovation Corridor reaffirms commitment to building high-speed rail linking #Portland #Seattle #Vancouver. Plan is to reduce travel times from four hours to 60 minutes. www.theurbanist.org/2025/11/10/c...

in the last few months Kendzior was starting to be more active and candid on bluesky, which I thought was great. her books often speak directly to the corruption erupting in the news and it was good to see her sharing more of her work in real time. we cannot just ignore that bluesky suspended her

Sarah Kendzior points out that QAnon co-opted the Epstein controversy and diverted people from it, and at a crucial time for trump

It begins. Clearly incriminating evidence against president of the United States. Epstein to Maxwell, April 2, 2011: "i want you to realize that that dog that hasn't barked is trump. [VICTIM] spent hours at my house with him ,, he has never once been mentioned. police chief. etc."

UPDATE — Here are the at least 11 congressional Democrats, 11 Democratic-aligned organizations, and 6 Democratic Senate candidates calling for Chuck Schumer to resign as leader:

my red line for quitting twitter was chad loder, kendzior would be my red line here. i appreciate the news and network here, but i can't be part of a "community" that randomly disappears people like link and kendzior

This naked attempt by wealthy special interests to steal these funds from low income Portlanders under the guise of “public safety” is ugly and frankly, offensive. #orpol www.wweek.com/news/city/20...

JUST IN: Katie Wilson significantly extends her lead in the Seattle mayoral race. She now leads Mayor Bruce Harrell by 1,346 votes, or 0.5%. That's up from the squeaker-lead of 91 votes in yesterday's update). She won today's batch of nearly 6K ballots by 20% (!). Not much left at this point.

I've been wondering if (or really when) we'd see purges & lockdowns of accounts critical of those in power. I guess this is an early answer to both questions (yes & now).

Joke of the day from Moscow: Russia tried to unveil its first humanoid AI robot, Aidol. Key word: tried. The robot collapsed during its debut, forcing organizers to cut the presentation short. Their rushed attempt to lift the prop only made things worse.

The identity of Sarah Kendzior, researcher on authoritarian states, and Sarah Kendzior's content discussing authoritarian states are...not really easy to separate. So I'm struggling to see this as a response.

In this case her identity matters, and personally I want an explanation for the content she posted that you deemed warranted a suspension. Why should I trust your moderation decisions blindly? Especially after you banned link for what is IMO a minor thing and could also have been a short suspension?

Have to say banning someone like Sarah is already political, and it undermines trust in your moderation when you don’t provide an explanation.

Sarah Kendzior is a prominent anti-authoritarian author and scholar, and one of very few people who have followed facts toward the snakes nest of bipartisan corruption at the heart of US politics. To suspend her account without warning or explanation is bizarre and suspicious. Bluesky sucks

This race could come down to your vote! As of yesterday, we were just 91 votes ahead. Additional votes will be counted today. Do your part and check on your ballot with King County ASAP: info.kingcounty.gov/kcelections/...

You can't end homelessness without housing. Portland's Mayor removed the expert leading us toward proven solutions (social housing = what works in Vienna). The City Council voted unanimously for this work. Our community deserves better. Take Action: tinyurl.com/5acu63bj

“I still feel daily, deeply ashamed to live in a place where we allow people to sleep on concrete at night … and I fundamentally believe it doesn’t have to be that way. It represents a political choice.The places where I have seen that shared sense of rage at such a moral failure [include] NYC DSA.”

Hello @support.bsky.team why has @sarahkendzior.bsky.social been suspended without explanation?????

Dr. El-Sayed wrote the book on Medicare for All (literally) and he’s running for US Senate. listen to the man

The fight for healthcare right now can’t end with ACA subsidies. It HAS TO BE bigger. Too many Americans are suffering over medical debt and spiraling costs. It should be nothing short of Medicare for All.

"Essential services are now digital by default, leaving many older people feeling locked out of their own lives." As more of our lives move online by default, digital ageism has quietly become one of the last unchallenged prejudices, writes Fiona Daly. jrnl.ie/6864189

Bernie and AOC have long operated on that same frequency, and they would have remade the party long ago if voters could choose freely. But Schumer and co. will do anything to keep their claws on the wheel.

we need Medicare for All up in the midterms. the time is now and Jayapal prob has legislation ready

Every so often I remember that oil men are fracking giant swathes of Texas. Fracking is like salting the earth but worse. They're doing it so that millions of Americans can drive a shitty car to a shitty job every day. Anyway back to your regularly scheduled brain rot.

A guy in Kodiak shot himself in the groin after attempting to stack a loaded shotgun on top of another gun. Genius.

"Sir, a second Joyce Carol Oates post has hit—"

if you aren’t pivoting to pumping Medicare for All from here you’ve lost the script. the republicans are correct that it is insane to pay these corrupt corporations billions to then deny our claims, stop giving them our issues to lie about

They WERE NOT hype enough for my boi. HE WAS GOIN DUMB ON THEM KEYS

just stapled two ICE not welcome here posters on the utility pole between my maga neighbors house and my Mexican neighbors house and I will do this every day the pole is cleared (as well as cover the color coded zones assigned to me in coordination with my neighborhood postering crew)

Let's call @democrats.senate.gov bluff and DEMAND they remove @schumer.senate.gov as senate minority leader IMMEDIATELY. Either he coordinated making sure the votes came from Senators not up for reelection or he's lost control of his caucus. Either way, he's a failure. He has to go.

my councilor! thank you! 🌹

Here are the at least 6 House Democrats, 3 Democratic-aligned organizations, and 4 Democratic Senate candidates calling for Chuck Schumer to resign as leader:

did I ride my gravel bike too fast around the trails of pier park today? maybe. but I also stopped for a moment to let yellow leaves fall softly on my face 🍂

I'll get back to "party unity" as soon as the Senate Minority Leader tells us if he voted for the Democratic party nominee for mayor of his city. I'm tired of party unity only ever running one way.

and i think we could often do a better job of making the pro-business case for bike and transit upgrades. the data is there but we forget to lead with it, only to find our projects so often get roadblocked or scaled back at the last minute by "business interests"
