We have been hounding Trump for years, impeached him multiple times, even won prosecutions against him. But he is still tearing this country to shreds. Maybe it is time to shift our focus. Maybe it is time to talk about what real prosperity is and how we can create it. Dems, your move.

It is long past time we stopped focusing on Trump alone and start getting folks to look at what drives our descent into polarization & stagnation. Having a few huge and unaccountable media conglomerates control what we see and what we know is a recipe for breeding subservience and narrow mindedness.

Well I am happy Iger/ABC/Disney reinstated Kimmel. But they won't get this subscriber back so easily. Trust broken is trust broken and it will take a stronger push-back than this to get me back.

Sometimes the only thing to do is the small thing you can do. I cancelled Disney+ yesterday and sent an email to Bob Iger letting him know that for this former subscriber, protecting the First Amendment is far more important than what Disney/ABC sells. Join me.

This is what we continue to need to shout from the rooftops. The Republican fraud of the American people is as brazen as it is cruel and damaging. All the Republicans have ever done is make income inequality worse. That is their DNA.

I still can not believe this is the world we live in today. Trump and R's literally want to burn down and drown the world so a handful of fossil fuel companies can keep cashing checks. Where are the D's, where is the pushback? This nightmare continues until we learn to fight harder and smarter.

It used to be said that sex sells, these days it more like lies, conspiracies, and hate outsell everything. Bloggers, bloviators, and headline writers have only one job--grab and hold our eyeballs. Join me in curating who gets the chance to inform and motivate you. @indivisible.org is a good start.

Dissent is always patriotic. The key is standing up for our friends and community members who are targets of hate, ICE, or abuse. I stand with immigrants who continue to build this country. I stand with the LBGTQ+ community who represent the beautiful diversity of our species. Join me. #TruthBrigade

We all want our health care system to work better. This bill did noting to promote that. It puts millions at risk of losing coverage so big tax breaks can go to people who do not need them. The truth is we need our elected representative to actually represent us, our kids, and our grandkids.

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and @schumer.senate.gov Read that last sentence. NY made a statement tonight. Hope you got the memo.

I could not agree more. As a life-long Dem, I have never felt our party to be weaker or more lost. We desperately need real vision, leadership, and a dedication to service over self-interest. Show us you care more about our collective future than your reelection.

I stand with my daughters and women everywhere to say that the Government of the United States has no business telling women about their bodies. This terrible decision turned back the clock by 100 years and makes it clear just how much work we have to do to repair the damage of Dobbs.

This feels unquestionable true. So where are the Dems? Where is the counter platform that addresses the fears we have? We are chasing Trump from one fire to the next instead of building a compelling alternative. We need leaders to unify us around our need for security--economic, social, & global.

Unfortunately the Iran War will not blow up in Trump's face, but in the faces of innocent children & their families in the Middle East, in American casualties of the inevitable counter attack, & in our collective confidence in our democracy and its leaders. Where have all the voices of sanity gone?

This is more than a platitude. To lead a nation out of Trump hell is going to take the ability to inspire people. Will we be like Trump and base that inspiration on fear and hate? Or will we take the road of compassion and connection? To take that steeper road will take a ton lot of selfless love.

I would take more comfort in this if I felt the Democrats were ready to stand up and present a new vision for the future of the Country. Let's go Dems. Put aside the past and take advantage of this moment to forge something better.

This. There is always more to learn, more ways to grow, more ways to become a better friend and ally.

What part of common sense includes cutting cancer research? One of the most important things we can do to protect our health now and in the future is to fund research the private sector will not and can not do. Let's keep the focus on our health an not big pharma's bottom line. #TruthBrigade

This is a must read. If you love or care about someone who happens not to be white, know Trump and his allies believe they have no place in America. We are getting down to the real core of Trump/MAGA and it will take all of us to "shove the devil down in his hole".

Take heart dear friends! From sunny Santa Rosa, CA to rainy Freeport, Maine you have allies and friends who want to end to madness and restore our democracy. Thank you for showing up and sharing the pics @annakornbluh.bsky.social and shout to my Santa Rosa neighbors!

Sebastopol, CA, pop 7,388 showed up today and said #NoKings, no tyrants, no breaking the rule of law, and no to destroying our democracy. Super proud of our little town. I don't know 47 will hear us, but every Republican in Congress would do well to stand up for their voters & stop the madness.

As you join millions of other Americans who say #NoKings tomorrow, this advice could spare people from suffering needlessly. To folks with mobility challenges, bring support that can help you if needed. My prayer: let us be strong, be joyful, and have the strength that comes from our love of peace.

Friends, I do not care who you voted for or what kind of car you drive or if you are a regular protestor or someone who usually stands aside, tomorrow is a day to show up. Show up for a better future, show up for democracy, show up because you are needed. I'll see you there.

What he said...

Noem, Trump, and the R's are trying desperately to mislead the American public. Call protestors insurrectionists or worse. This video is the powerful truth--10s of thousands of Angelenos who are simply saying enough. Looking forward to standing up on June 14 to say the same.

Good data & rule of law go hand in hand. You have them & you can make good decisions. 47 is undermining both: from data about inflation, health, weather or laws about immigration, tariffs, or presidential power, he is taking away our ability to make sound decisions backed by real info and rules.

Today I am celebrating truth tellers. Thanks to @rbreich.bsky.social for being one of our most consistent and effective voices about economy and justice. The truth here: "Trickle-down economics was always a hoax." 47 sells out families to prop up the richest of rich.

Kudos to @repjasmine.bsky.social for continuing to focus on truth. How about we keep the the Trump cuts for the poor and let the others expire? Seems simple. But the game here is not good governance, it is to gut governance so oligarchs can rule...

We have to work to show the value of science to the public at large. Trump and RFK have boxed science and universities into a disconnected egghead stereotype and fed a mindset that investments in science don't help families. Wrong! We head for disaster without #science. Push back on #NoKingsDay.

Sometimes simple and straight forward is the only way. A world where these four changes happen is a world where we don't have a polarizer in chief and tech bros running America. That is a good thought to say goodnight on!

Kudos to @clairek.bsky.social and Food & Power blog from the Open Market Institute for it deep look at the even more deeply flawed #MAHA commission report. The conclusion: behind every potentially good idea is an actually policy of Trump that undermines it. Corporate power still rules in #ag.

We can not create a safe and healthy future for ourselves and our children without science. RFK Jr. and 47 want to keep us scared and in the dark about the truth. This is how authoritarians work. We need #science, #vaccines, and sanity.

This graphic makes it about as simple as it really is. Steal from the public give to the wealthy. Pretty much goes in hand with Trump's crypto game where it is steal from MAGA marks and give to Trump's coffers.

There are some things that simply should be part of our basic understanding of what freedom means. Clearly being arrested by masked "officers" and being detained without due process fall outside any definition of freedom.

I hope you will join me and millions of other Americans on June 14. You can support the effort by adding ❌👑 to your BlueSky handle. #NoKings

The R's have turned lying into a vicious art form. They lie about the budget bill, ICE, judges, LGBTQ+, and a thousand other things. We are living in a world of fun house mirrors where even what you see with your own eyes is distorted. Why? To push an agenda that damages everyone but the chosen few.

Our justice system is built to protect everyone equally. Who is benefiting from proposed new laws that deport people, no violent history or criminal record? Can’t be about justice or safety. It’s about gaining power with propaganda. Our leaders must defend us, not just chase headlines. #TruthBrigade

We can fix this crazy world! And it starts with each of us pushing back on polarization and lies from our leaders. The #TruthBrigade is helping cut through the BS and bring us back together as a working democracy. Will you join me by sharing this message and standing up for solving real problems?

Missing your local weather forecast? Check out this map that shows areas in the US where 24/7 local National Weather Service is now or shortly will be gone. To our neighbors in the red zones, keep safe and remember was 47, the R's, and Musk who decided keeping you safe was government waste...

U ready for your own 'custom' AI driven price for eggs? Check out how big retail wants to grab more of your green by using massive amounts of data collected on you. Some states are moving to ban the practice, but the R's have a ban on state level AI regs in the 'everything for the rich' budget.

Wise to listen to one of the foremost climate and weather science communicators in the United States. Cutting the NWS is literally shutting our eyes to weather that can kill. 47 and MAGA somehow believe the ostrich theory of how to deal with calamity. Don't think that will work out well for us.

I'll be there. Hope you can make it too!

How do you enact racism? How about 47 denying asylum to 100,000 refuges of color, but admitting 54 white Afrikaners? In this blatant example of racial preference, 47 and the R's give up any semblance of pretense about being 'color blind' or merit-based. 47's America is white. Period.

We do not know what kind of Pope Leo XIV will be. What we can say is he is awake to the pain and suffering in this world. He is awake to illness, discrimination, and hate. He is awake to the mistaken views of JD Vance about Catholicism. May one day we all be so woke. #WokePope

I hate amplifying something like this, but it is more than time to brand 47, the R's, and their MAGA coterie as the ONLY real radicals in the room. They will desecrate, demean, and smear any thing that doesn't align with their crazed world view. MAGA is a fantasy world, truth is our reality TV.

In this moment there may only be 2 sides: team democracy vs autocracy. If so, team democracy must be the 1 strong enough to be woke to the pain of the past, present, and future. It must be the team not afraid of the truth. Woke is strength. May we have more of it. May we love each other as we are.

So I buy there are really only two teams right now: team democracy or team autocracy. The question is what strategy protects democracy most effectively? What generates engagement beyond the base? Somehow we have to connect the dots between due process and putting food on the table.

This leaves me speechless. The R's are dragging dissent out of the room. Lawler works for his constituents and is sworn to defend the Constitution. So in what way is this doing either? This is the new R playbook for town halls and will go down in history as some of the darkest days the US has seen.

🧵 NY-17 Rep. Mike Lawler had a local social worker physically dragged out of his town hall Sunday night. Emily Feiner was singled out by private security, lifted out of her seat, as the crowd chanted “let her stay” and “shame, shame.” She’s a constituent. Not a threat. Fascism again.

We are in an attention and information war with 47 and his administration. They are systematically shutting down speech that offends or exposes them. Their next target is PBS/NPR, one of the most (only?) trusted sources of news and programming in the US. Join me in defending public broadcasting!
