@barackobama.bsky.social: "When I was POTUS, I suppose I could have simply unilaterally ordered the military to go into some red state and harass and intimidate a governor or cut off funding for states that didn't vote for me... but that is contrary to how I think our democracy is supposed to work."

What’s up, asks creepy buttercup. No really, it’s creeping. Buttercup. #macro #photo #flowers #art

Good morning, Blusky! #photo #macro #art

Suddenly my feed is too tiny to read. Can’t figure out what happened

happy day, remember there is beauty and good work being done, despite it all

#EPSTEIN HE IS IN IT, MANY TIMES RELEASE THE DAMN EPSTEIN FILES NOW!! COME ON JUDGE. WE ARE TIRED OF THE LIES AND DELAYS!

A little love from California today. Stay strong, Minnesota.

I’ll keep speaking about the survivors of Epstein’s network—because their stories matter.

Simple clear demands: Defund ICE Make Epstein files public Article 25/ try Trump for treason

Never stop talking about the Epstein Files. Never stop talking about the Epstein Files. Never stop talking about the Epstein Files. Never stop talking about the Epstein Files.

Mamdani: I am in support of abolishing ICE… I'm tired of waking up every day and seeing a new image of someone being dragged out of a car, dragged out of their home, dragged out of their life.

It’s been 28 days since the Epstein files were supposed to be fully released. Release the Epstein Files we are waiting for we can't wait any more.

Mamdani: For too long, those fluent in the good grammar of civility have deployed decorum to mask agendas of cruelty

Happy New Year, says raven. Watercolor and ink in my sketchboo.

Who agrees? ✋

Solstice behind, brighter days ahead.

EXCLUSIVE: the Working Families Party is putting out a recruitment call for people opposed to data centers in their communities to run for local office the recruitment effort comes just 2 days after Bernie Sanders called for a moratorium on data center construction

#Utilities keep building expensive power plants, companies keep planning power-guzzling #DataCenters, and you end up footing the bill. But there is a better way: Distributed Power Plants! Learn more about these programs: www.youtube.com/watch?v=c92r... #DistributedPowerPlants

More of this !!

Pre-trial hearings are usually empty for most cases. The Luigi Mangione hearings, on the other hand, are happening in a packed courtroom — and not everyone is happy about the coverage. Read more from @miasato.bsky.social: www.theverge.com/policy/83905...

Has anyone written a coherent, good-faith argument *against* a ban on stock trading by members of Congress, or in favor of the status quo? What is the argument lawmakers use when explaining why they don't want a vote on the matter? Having trouble finding.

Work in Progress

No one will stop me from defending our freedoms.

This is good! This is really good! Read this. Thanks, @dennycarter.bsky.social badfaithtimes.com/they-banned-...

It’s getting real for Home Depot. The flash mob is only the warm up, the nationwide boycott hits on November 27th. Chant: “Tax the rich tax, the motherf*cking rich.”

Thank you to everyone organizing in Charlotte. As we saw in Chicago, you can send them packing, and we know similar efforts are already underway in Charlotte. In Chicago, neighborhood groups held “Know Your Rights” trainings so residents understood what to do if ICE appeared.

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

If a man said what Megyn Kelly said, you would assume he was a trafficker. This young lady is wise beyond her years, but she is still a “child”and she would like a word…

Whoever is making these hilarious memes should be ashamed of themselves. Just stop it.

Hey Megyn Kelly, 14-year-old Eloise would like a word: “If my voice makes you uncomfortable, good… because the minute adults start defending predators by defending the age of a child, you’re not protecting the truth, you’re protecting the predator.” Sound up! 🔥🔊 1/2

Listen.

Kind of wild that while food assistance was withheld from millions of families, one Trump-supporting billionaire (Ellison) saw his net worth grow more this year than the entire SNAP budget. And the YTD gains of the other four richest men would’ve fully covered salaries for all 2M federal employees.

I am going to write this knowing some won’t get the hyperbole. I voted democrat in every election since I was eligible. The Senate vote this week gutted me. I finally get why some people voted Trump. Any flipping change. I’m not saying I could or would, just that disappointing, that I get it

I guess Dem Party won’t learn as long as they have their nice salaries and benefits, and very comfortable lives. Now can we consider strikes? Boycotts? Because the middle and wealthy classes are also too comfortable to take risks.

Standing up to a tyrant - who is willing to impose pain as leverage to compel loyalty or acquiescence - is hard. You can convince yourself that yielding stops the pain and brings you back to "normal". But there is no "normal". Submission emboldens the tyrant. The threat grows.
