You may be living in an absolutely racist country when 13-year-old Black boys are tried and sentenced as adults, but white dudes who *are* adults are called "kids" by JD Vance to shield them from culpability.

An ICE agent, who is being arrested for drunk driving and nearly killing his little kids & others, tries to stop the arrest by racially profiling the officers arresting him. Amazing to watch the courtesy given to him as he is belligerent and uncooperative

Cops led us into the street as the new “protest zone” and then beat us repeatedly. Got hit in the face with a baton. Leaving to pick up my friends who were arrested. Stay safe out there.

I suspect there is more of this behind the scenes, which is why the admin is using the CIA

More damage to jobs by Donald “Stop Work” Trump.

Let's talk about Medicare for ALL.

I am sounding the alarm that the GOP is engaged in an all out attack voting rights and free and fair elections. Voter suppression, gerrymandering, and troops in blue cities are just some of the ways they are using to try to rig the rules to keep power in 2026 and beyond. Pay attention and act!

MIKE JOHNSON: I've not seen them cross the line yet.

Tish James lit up the room last night — and her words echoed far beyond the walls of The United Palace. This is a fight for the future.

"Call it democracy, or call it democratic socialism, but there must be a better distribution of wealth within this country for all God's children." —MLK Jr.

🚨NEW: A case at the Supreme Court cites Trump reportedly promising oil donors favors as proof that pay-to-play influence is so pervasive that bribery laws must be narrowed so pay-to-play is no longer a prosecutable crime. The case is represented by a Trump-connected law firm.

"Support the troops, y'all!"

“No, Speaker Johnson — the No Kings rally on October 18 is not a hate America rally. In fact, it’s quite the contrary: It’s a love America rally.” #NoKings

It's a good day to not take corporate PAC money.

NEW: ICE is planning to hire a team of nearly 30 people to surveil social media 24/7, build dossiers on people, and flag them for arrest and deportation. @dell.bsky.social has the scoop: www.wired.com/story/ice-so...

The South Korean Ministry of Defense has awarded medals of merit to 11 officers for disobeying direct orders of superiors during the martial law fiasco, orders that they deemed to be contrary to the constitution and endangerment to democracy. www.chosun.com/english/nati...

The fossil fuel industry floats on the biggest public subsidy in human history.

Trans people aren't more skewed towards violence when compared to all shooter archetypes. The FBI is targeting one of the smallest demos in our society because it's easy. Easy to gin up hate. Easy to "other" them & easy to conquer the least violent group. This is a hate crime disguised as justice

Even after top election officials in Louisiana agree that voter fraud in the state is intuition/not fact, election deniers are trying to turbo-charge voter suppression in the SAVE Act. Let your voice be heard. Tell Congress to kill the bill: bit.ly/4hZ7BK7 or (202) 224-3121 @lwvus.bsky.social

There is zero pressure for major Left accounts to speak up on genocide. It’s not enough to throw up a post here and there. Call out everyone who is ok with genocide. Ask them why, at least. This quite goes for Left Bluesky as well. @marisakabas.bsky.social @chanda.bsky.social

🚨🚨🚨PSA: Paper checks are going away on 9/30/25!! If you receive your SS benefits by paper check, you need to put a direct deposit on file or request enrollment in Direct Express ASAP to avoid missed payment!!! FYI this now requires you to visit an office in person!! You cannot do this by phone!!!

I just spoke to NYC Comptroller Brad Lander as he left police custody following his arrest at immigration court. Here’s what he said:

Fun fact: Nancy Mace is trying to censure me over comments I never said.   Her res does not contain a single quote from me because she couldn’t find any.   Unlike her, I have routinely condemned political violence, no matter the political ideology.

US IT OR LOSE IT anti-voting laws are gaining momentum. Beat them at their own game. 1. Answer all mail from your local election office. 2. Vote in every election—including local elections. 3. Check your voter registration status regularly at www.vote411.org 4. Do it now. #VOTE411 It takes minutes!

Medicare for All is not a government takeover of healthcare. Medicare for All is the government freeing the healthcare market to actually operate in fair ways.

It feels slow not because of facts, but because the doom-narrative drowns out reality. 📉 The truth: solar doubled from 1,000 → 2,000 TWh in just 3 yrs, wind’s surging too. Fossils took decades. The fastest energy leap in history is here—don’t let fear blind you. ⚡🌞 #EnergyTransition #BESS #EVs #LFP

Couldn't agree more. The political violence needs to stop. I worry that the divisive rhetoric I see from people on both sides in response to this will only escalate things further and I implore everyone to be mindful of how your words might contribute to this.

The murders of Charlie Kirk and Minnesota state representative Melissa Hortman are part of a dangerous rise in political violence. We cannot accept this as the norm. We must do whatever we can to reduce the anger and hate that are consuming and destroying so much of the country.

The biggest sporting event in the world is happening in our backyard. But most New Yorkers will be priced out of watching it live. Sign our petition calling on FIFA to put game over greed: zohranfornyc.com/gameovergreed

And anyway, many of the things people complain about USPS - long lines, terse staff, delays in shipping - are caused by system problems like being underfunded and understaffed. Mail delivery people have no AC and drive trucks that are literally falling apart. I'd be grumpy too.

Calling Black Children this…. UNACCEPTABLE

🚨 The EU is trying to quietly weaken nature laws during summer break. We have 10 days to stop this. Don't let them destroy our forests, rivers & wildlife in silence. #HandsOffNature www.wwf.eu/campaigns/it...

Some crew to hang out with, when being sworn in as neutral independent judge.

A message from me:

Sen. Warren Daniel (R–NC, District 46) was caught trading stocks right on the Senate floor. Didn’t even wait for a break. Playing the market on the taxpayers’ time…pure abuse of power.

Second Amendment for me but not for thee.

Corruption so obvious even Fox Business sees it 👀

Next they'll be rewriting textbooks to say Japanese American internment camps were delightful summer resorts.

UPDATE: House Oversight is convening a private roundtable with survivors of Epstein’s abuse. This is a testament to our pressure. I look forward to hearing from survivors & won't stop pushing for a full, public hearing so their stories are documented in the Congressional Record.

OK so I promised I would revisit how to protect your personal information in light of the news today that the DOGEbags uploaded a ton of people’s information to a cloud server that could be hacked, thanks to an SSA whistleblower. Here’s my original thread from like February, but I have some updates.

Cost of Trump's D.C. Occupation: $1.1M per day. Cost to operate public housing for D.C.'s entire homeless population: $169,226 per day. It's not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.

It's going to take a lot of courage to take on the status quo in DC. My friend @elizabeth-warren.bsky.social knows a little about that.

If a Democratic president starting sending Blue state national guard troops to occupy a red city as a power grab, the GOP officials in that state would arrest the invading guard troops to send a message that they are defending their sovereignty.

Donald Trump says he is going to deploy the National Guard to Chicago. This is what weak men do to pretend they’re strong. Stay safe, stand with your community, and most importantly, know your rights:
