There’s a small percentage of MAGA nut jobs who want this. Nobody else in America wants this. This is all about Trump’s ego. And since Republicans in Congress have abdicated their responsibility as a check on the executive, this will be another thing for voters to punish them on.

Enjoying this beautiful Saturday! ☀️Trying to stay positive in the midst of everything happening around us. Hope you are finding joy in the little things.😊🤗🙏🏾

Weber: I'm glad you're addressing us instead of speaking to the camera. … AOC: There are 13.7 million Americans on the other side of that screen. Hello. I’m talking to you because I work for you. They deserve to see what is happening here..

Trump’s Middle East trip isn’t just about diplomacy. It’s about the family business | Mohamad Bazzi

Just FYI because evidently Fox or OAN or whatever is pushing the lie that America accepted the Statue of Liberty and that’s equivalent to the plane. Congress VOTED to approve receiving the statue. So congress should vote on the jet

For those confused by the China tariff news: • Trump caved and got zero in return • No manufacturing moved back to the USA • 30% tariff is still a huge tax on Americans • 90 day pause still causes uncertainty • Trump lost all negotiating leverage

Scanlon: The Gulf of Mexico was so named over 500 years ago. If we want to update that name to reflect our current culture, maybe we should call it the Sea of Emoluments—you know, the place where we can board the Ship of Fools and navigate from a State of Ignorance to the Confederacy of Dunces…

250 years ago today America began its march toward independence at the Battles of Lexington and Concord. The battles marked “No Kings Day, Part I.” Today millions of Americans will take part in “No Kings Day, Part II.”

Congrats @bluesky on 35m !

The head of our country’s government is in the early stages of consolidating total power. We must of course reject this, but that is not enough. We have to respond by creating a different and better kind of American politics than we have seen before.

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.

At the heart of why this state Supreme Court race became such a big deal is simple: partisan power to determine the future of voting rights and fair elections. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Gosh. If only there were an historical analogue we could study to learn about the horrors of rounding people up without due process and sending them to torture camps in other countries.

Know your parasites 🦠 London is at it again lol

Some days we have to disconnect from politics and ENJOY LIFE! My beautiful fur babies 😻 #Caturday

We will not be distracted. We will not be discouraged. We’ve got our eyes on the prize. And we will build the prosperous, free nation for all that we deserve. The time to organize is now. OcasioCortez.com

Figured I’d hop on here today for the 15th anniversary of the Affordable Care Act. With everything going on right now, it’s easy to feel like regular folks can’t make a difference – but the ACA is a reminder that change is possible when we fight for progress.

Today, the House GOP censured me for speaking out for the American people against @POTUS’s plan to cut Medicaid. I accept the consequences of my actions, but I refuse to stay silent in the face of injustice. #WeShallOvercome x.com/repalgreen/s...

Let this sink in.

That’s right. 🇺🇦

TOMORROW- Friday, February 28th is BLACKOUT FRIDAY! If you believe we are in danger of losing our Democracy forever, FIGHT BACK! Let's make our voices heard in numbers too big to ignore. JOIN US if you've had it with Comrade Krasnov. 🤬 🇷🇺 #24HourEconomicBlackout

Did You Know? The inventor of the bestselling Super Soaker was a Black man—and Hasbro tried to cheat him out of his royalties. In 2013, Lonnie Johnson, a nuclear engineer and former NASA scientist, won a $73 million settlement from Hasbro for underpaid royalties. Johnson holds over 80 patents.

Happy Sunday Bluesky fam!💙 Such a beautiful day! ☀️ If you're feeling down, get some fresh air...it heals the soul! 🥰

This guy won the popular vote. That’s why I say America deserves everything we get.

Wow. Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde fearlessly calls out Trump and Vance to their faces. This is heroic. (posting in 3 parts due to Bluesky's 1 minute limit)

Happy MLK Day.

BREAKING NEWS: President Biden has just awarded PREEMPTIVE PARDONS to Liz Cheney, General Mark Milley, Anthony Fauci, and the entire January 6 Committee. Good!

We had to get in on the video action too — Bluesky now has custom feeds for video! Like any other feed, you can choose to pin these or not. Bluesky is yours to customize.

Convicted felon, adjudicated rapist, grifting and lying trump will be pardoning January 6th attackers today, on inauguration day. A disgusting skidmark for the office of the President, and for America as a whole. Just awful.

Reuters: GAZA CEASEFIRE IS NOW IN EFFECT

Biden's farewell speech to the military: "Let me close with a final request. I say it not as your president or commander in chief. I say it as a man who spent 50 years of his life serving his country in a different way. Remember your oath."

Many Latino immigrants in Los Angeles worked to extinguish some of the fires with hoses. They aren't firefighters, they were just helping people in other neighborhoods.
