If this doesn't motivate you to vote in the Midterms, nothing will.

A lifetime of "thoughts & prayers" have done JACK-SQUAT to reduce or eliminate gun violence. We need to do MORE. It is the GUNS. #SadButTRUE 💔

For over 5 years, Marjorie Taylor Greene was one of the people in Congress most disliked by Democrats. No death threats. It was only when she turned on Donald Trump that she got death threats. Just like Senators only received threats of violence after they wavered on Trump's cabinet nominations.

this would have been a month-long scandal in 2011

Tatsuya Nakadai.

You may not *need* a political science degree to understand why having billionaires fund the US military is a bad idea, but I *do* have a political science degree and would like to underscore *how* bad of an idea it is.

Find the post or the article I've written that denies we are on a path to authoritarianism. I'll just keep saying, for the stubborn and/or dense among you: We are not living under fascism in 2025. We are heading for an authoritarian takeover and I have been shouting it from the rafters every day.

@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social cooked last night at the NYC mayoral debate

Are you ready for the largest peaceful protest in modern US history? In five days, millions of Americans will stand up and speak out on a massive scale to reject Trump’s authoritarianism and show the world what democracy looks like. We’ll see you on Saturday: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i... #NoKings

Millions came out for the last #NoKings protests. These will be even bigger. They want to scare people into not showing up. Show up. Exercise your Constitutional rights. Be in community with all those who believe in democracy.

/5 Look at Vance, or Yarvin, or Miller, or any of these true believers and see how unhappy they are in their own skin, how they ooze resentment towards the world that finds them strange and creepy and doesn’t want to sit with them at lunch.

I declare that in my home, the California Constitution is the law of the land, superseding Federal law, because Californians enjoy expanded rights, including an explicit right to privacy & the right to reproductive freedom. I also declare that if Trump doesn’t like it, he can kiss my ass.

anyway, now they effectively control CBS, on their way to dominating the entirety of mainstream media

kinda doesn't get brought up enough in context that the two richest corporate leaders in America are directly bankrolling and supporting authoritarianism seems like something our modern journalistic gumshoes might want to include in their articles about MAGA flyover country diner "populism"

Is this what Jesus would do?? If it is, then Jesus is Satan!

He’s the Vice President of the United States. He could actually *do* something about this instead of just play pretend games.

Scientists have studied mRNA for decades. The vaccine has proven to be safe & effective-saving millions of lives. Researchers are working on mRNA vaccine for HIV. RFK Jr is an ignorant nut. In 2019 he visited Samoa & told ppl measles vaccine is dangerous. Tragically he was believed. 83 kids died

In the USA we have brilliant scientists- medical experts. RFK Jr is not among them

Did I mention ICE arresting firefighters who were LITERALLY fighting a massive fire at the time of their arrest? 🔥 #ReleaseTheEPSTEIN_Files

Between RFK decimating the CDC, normalizing Ashli Babbitt & the umpteenth school shooting... I'm losing the will to post. #ReleaseTheEPSTEIN_Files

The reason ACT UP was necessary was bc it was political to suggest that letting gay men die was bad. The reason Black women have to advocate so hard for themselves when pregnant is bc it's political to value the lives of Black women as much as white women. Of course public health is political! 3/3

Trump started with federal workers, but make no mistake, Trump's goal is to eliminate labor unions everywhere. The right to organize a union is sacred, and Democrats, along with @mnaflcio.org and AFGE, will continue to fight Trump’s attacks on labor until the battle is won.

For-Profit Hospitals Want to Put a Price on Life Dominique Dupont didn’t ask to be an advocate. She just wanted a safe delivery. But in 2013, a New Mexico hospital ignored basic medication protocols—and her daughter was born with a severe brain injury. 🧵

This is footage from today in MacArthur Park. Minutes before, there were more than 20 kids playing — then, the MILITARY comes through. The SECOND I heard about this, I went to the park to speak to the person in charge to tell them it needed to end NOW. Absolutely outrageous.

funny thing about this is i had no idea it happened until someone asked me about it on stream last night

♥️

It is wild how approximately 70% of the entire nation has lost its shit over a racialized Muslim man whose egalitarian mayoral platform of rent freezes and free busses is barely a drop in the bucket compared with leftist capitalist Finland, and hasn't even won a general election, let alone governed.

Trump tried to indefinitely detain Mahmoud Khalil for protesting—but a judge just ordered his release on bail. Meanwhile, Harvard fought back, sued Trump for interfering in its affairs, and the judge ruled in Harvard’s favor. A perfect reminder: caving to MAGA isn’t necessary. Resistance works.

As the Senate’s resident privacy hawk I have to recommend against giving Donald Trump your most sensitive health data

On the Ben Franklin Parkway, they keep coming and coming

The head of FEMA who said he didn't know there's a hurricane season is a white man with no prior experience managing natural disasters who got his job despite his lack of qualifications in large part because of his race and gender.

The federal budget is our money– not my money that was stolen from me and your money that was stolen from you, but OUR money, pooled from a bit of each of our incomes, so that we can fund the country we all share. Where do you want your money to go? www.patheos.com/blogs/steelm...

this guy hates this country, its laws and its traditions

don't forget that his mother's side of the family were documented nazi sympathizers, who moved to south africa specifically to enjoy apartheid and write screens about global Jewish conspiracies!

Jasmine Crockett isn't being quiet about it—when it's time to elect the next House Oversight Committee ranking member, she wants the job. And she’s earned it. Let's back up @repjasmine.bsky.social . We need her voice in leadership—ASAP!

AOC: Tom Homan said he was going to refer me to DOJ because I’m using my free speech rights in order to advise people of their constitutional protections… to that I say: Come for me… Do I look like I care? There’s nothing illegal about it and if they want to make it illegal, they can come take me.

We hadn’t won World War II by May 8th. I know because my family and I were still in an internment camp in Tule Lake, California.

Trumpty-Dumpty is defunding PBS. What he calls "bias" some of us call "facts Trumpty-Dumpty doesn't like."

Oof

Not to state the obvious, but none of them were sent to a terrorist prison in El Salvador. They all had lawyers, indictment by grand jury, a trial or a guilty plea where a judge ensured it was knowing & voluntary & access to an appeals process. In other words, all the hallmarks of due process.

“I’ve never missed a court appearance. I’ve never missed an appointment with immigration or ICE,” Daboin Rall said. “The truth is: I don’t have any criminal record. I’ve done everything correctly according to the rules of this country.” www.nbcnews.com/politics/imm...

👇🏽🎯

Congress literally created an Alien Terrorist Removal Court for the expeditious removal of aliens who are designated as terrorists, under a preponderance of evidence standard. I think problem isn’t the time it would take, but the fact that the government would have to produce actual evidence

Criminals deserve due process because due process is literally how we determine whether someone is, *in fact*, a criminal

No criminal charges were filed against Mohsen Mahdawi And apparently the Trump administration has asserted no legal basis to deport him-other than Marco Rubio’s say so If this doesn’t scare you Remember-they’re trying to revoke birthright citizenship So they can deport ANYONE they wish

Way to go, Wisconsin! You elected Judge Susan Crawford to the Wisconsin Supreme Court AND You showed Elon Musk that democracy-and integrity Can’t Be Bought Plus-given how this election will stop the GOP from gerrymandering Congressional districts You might have ALSO saved democracy in America

Retweeting this for no particular reason @annecaprara.bsky.social

Crockett: Pam Bondi, if you have an issue with terrorism, maybe you should talk to your boss about locking back up those guys that he let out that participated in January 6th.
