The Epstein Files, everybody!

🚨BREAKING: The Department of Justice will fail to publicly release all of its files on convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein by a Friday deadline, violating a new federal law explicitly mandating that the trove of documents be turned over for public scrutiny. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

And, to be clear, what they are proposing is unconstitutional and illegal and should be blocked by any just court. (I know, I know, but, the fact remains.)

The extreme attack on transgender youth we are witnessing from a governmental stage was enabled by The Atlantic and The New York Times.

in case anyone was wondering wtf happened to @thelouvreof.bsky.social/Louvre of Bluesky: the creator got doxxed, bsky did nothing, and they decided to go out in a blaze of glory

115 Democrats just voted to codify the first federal trans segregation law.

o feline cosmos you were made for cats and in the spring old cosmic thing i dine and dance with you The robin and the worm, by Don Marquis

our bluesky safety manager replied with this to a woman venting after ICE kidnapped her husband, and then banned her. How do we trust this person to have the empathy needed to be in charge of safety on this website? what the fuck? if we spam the feedback, it might get somewhere @safety.bsky.app

Know your rights. Protect your neighbors. New York is — and always will be — a city for all immigrants.

The 2028 Dem nominee for POTUS really needs an old school fire-and-brimstone anti-corruption platform

Lizza says Nuzzi was acting as a campaign operative while pretending to be a journalist. she did catch and kill, outing sources in the campaign; she tried to get RFK surrogates on television; she wrote strategy memos. 1

Almost three weeks ago, I wrote this: www.lawdork.com/p/the-kavana... It’s not just the Trump administration. The Republican appointees on the Supreme Court — especially Justice Kavanaugh, who put their permission into words — should answer for it.

Vice President JD Vance wants to blame undocumented immigrants for high housing prices. Here are three reasons that makes no sense

Since Sarah Kendzior’s account has been restored for a “death threat”- I’m wondering why Link’s hasn’t… does Bluesky take alleged threats against their CEO more seriously than ones against other people? Will Patton Oswalt also have a full account ban?

every few years it's revealed that the NYT was sitting on information about some horrific thing that public knowledge of would have changed the country's course and for some reason a ton of people still give them money. you can play those games on other sites

Democrats should not “wait until after” anything to have these internal fights. This is the argument the establishment makes to keep control of the party and continue fucking up. We need an internal fight to oust the quislings and elevate the people who give a shit and who know how to fight.

Enough is enough. Contact your Democratic senators TODAY and tell them to call for Senator Schumer to step aside as Minority Leader. We desperately need new leadership in the Democratic Party.

Democrats in office need to know: all of us with very few exceptions want all of you with very few exception to lose your god damn jobs because you refuse to do them.

okay, so, with Dems successfully keeping anyone up in 2026 for voting for this turd let's take a look at who's up in 2026 anyway: 1. Cory Booker - apparently involved behind the scenes, constantly looking for bipartisanship. I don't dislike him personally but he doesn't have what we need. Primary.

If the rest don’t oust Schumer immediately, then the entire U.S. Senate sold us out. They think we’re stupid. It’s insulting.

A leader would not have lost eight colleagues tonight. This happened because you let it happen or because you’ve totally lost control of the caucus in one of the most important moments since you’ve been Democratic leader. Either way, it’s on you. You need to step down. We need someone who can lead.

We have updated our call script so you can let your Senators know how you feel about this (TERRIBLE) deal they just advanced... 👉🏽 5calls.org/issue/federa...

you could call your democratic senators and ask them to replace schumer as minority leader

Senator Schumer has failed to lead this party in one of its most critical moments, and Americans will pay the price. It’s time for him to step down from leadership and make way for a new generation willing to fight for the people instead of the powerful.

Do you support a change in Senate leadership after this surrender? Not picking on Booker - we should ask this of literally all the no votes.

Hard to see @schumer.senate.gov being able to stay in leadership after this or in the senate, he was not the man for this moment

Schumer can be removed from his Dem leadership role this week - 23 Dems (and/or independents) just have to vote to depose him And they should, given this is his fault.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person. The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person. People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives. And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

We polled Indivisible members over the weekend on whether Dems should take a deal or keep fighting for the ACA subsidies. Results: 98.67% said keep fighting. Dems who vote to surrender now are fracturing their own party in a way that will reverberate loudly in the primaries.

I'm looking to see not only which Senate Dem candidates oppose this surrender (all of them will) but also where they go beyond this with respect to senate leadership. I want to see concrete promises for a new fighting Dem Party, because the current one is broken.

this sort of thing doesn’t end until a couple centrist senators go down in flames in a primary time to get some guys without nazi tattoos and get on that

Hey just a reminder that it only takes 23 Senate Democrats to remove and replace Chuck Schumer as minority leader. They don't do it because the majority of Senate Democrats approve of the way he does politics.

Know this, @schumer.senate.gov — if you cave, we will not rest until you are primaried and wrested from your seat. When kids on SNAP aren’t being fed, we’re even more hungry for justice. New York has shown you the people’s power just days ago. You *could* join with us, still, and do the right thing.

So, listen, call Schumer’s office no matter where you live, no matter if you’re registered to vote. Leave a voicemail that says if Senate Dems cave without an ACA premiums fix, you will never vote for or donate to another Senate Democrat as long as he is Leader

Call them: Schumer (NY) 202 224-6542 Booker (NJ) 202 224-3224 King (ME) 202 224-5344 Hassan (NH) 202 224-3324 Durbin (IL) 202 224-2152 Ossoff (GA) 202 224-3521 Shaheen (NH) 202 224-2841 Gillibrand (NY) 202 224-4451 Masto (NV) 202 224-3542 Warner (VA) 202 224-2023 Fetterman (PA) No Point

These are the senators who are about to vote to destroy us by caving on the shutdown for nothing in return. You can call and leave a message since it's Sunday, and try again tomorrow when they're open at 9am.

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

A stat we don't talk about enough: Newspapers have lost 77% of their jobs over the last 20 year, more than any of the 532 other industries tracked by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

The federal government does not fund health care for undocumented people. Punto. Republicans are spreading lies while kicking 15 million people off of health care and raising their premiums.

Singal explicitly violated ToS. You guys literally even had to retroactively change the ToS specifically not to ban him.

This is the thing elected dems seem unable to swallow. There is no realistic modus vivendi where somehow remain a functioning liberal democracy after 3 years of Trump. He is removed or we become Azerbaijan. Removal is ultimately the only goal that matters.

On D leaders deliberately refusing to threaten because they think pleading gets more votes. www.everythingishorrible.net/p/stop-plead...

its just not defensible in 2025 for democratic candidates and officeholders not to have a clear position on asserting the equal rights of transgender americans. if you're unwilling, step aside and let a patriot take your place.

If you are one of the almost 100 Dems who voted to honor the guy who said the Civil Rights Act was a huge mistake, don’t bother asking Black people to vote for you, donate to you or canvass for you next year. Don’t bother. Please. And don’t be shocked if you get a primary opponent.

There's no excuse for the Vice President of the United States to use a heinous killing as an occasion to baselessly frame political opponents as accomplices to murder while threatening to use the power of the government to attack them. This dangerous rhetoric will only fan the flames.

chuck's gotta go, man just can't even pretend to meet the moment we're in, you cannot be out there talking about bipartisan funding for the health care system when the VP is threatening your constituents with loss of employment and freedom for speaking their minds in public

Controversial opinion, but I think trans people should feel safe here on bluesky, and nazis shouldn't.
