Chris Murphy: "This is the most deeply immoral piece of legislation I have ever voted on in my entire time in Congress."

WE CANNOT BUILD BANANAS IN AMERICA

The enemy of my enemy is still my enemy but I still like seeing them fight

NEW: ALA salutes Dr Carla Hayden for her exceptional service to the nation as the Librarian of Congress. We are deeply disappointed in Dr Hayden's abrupt & unjust dismissal last night, an insult to the scope & breadth of her work. Read ALA Pres. Cindy Hohl's statement: www.ala.org/news/2025/05...

MA folks, today is be a great day to call the governor and ask her what the plan is to keep ALL Massachusetts residents safe in the face of kidnappings by masked men who refuse to show warrants. *Everyone* is endangered by this. Contact info here: www.mass.gov/orgs/governo...

newsrooms of the world did u know that when Rümeysa Öztürk gets out you can pay her to write an editorial, and then publish it? did u know that if all of you did this it would be a whole thing and a good one

SO MANY PEOPLE in the streets of Northampton, MA. Bravo!! 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈🇺🇸 #handsoff

America is embarrassing right now. We destroyed ourselves at the hands of the dumbest supervillain. The greatest self own in modern history.

ChatGPT consumes so much water and energy each week that it could power entire countries for YEARS and folk act like you told them to kill their selves cause you want them to write their own emails and not to steal art. 😂

Incidentally, since almost all the physical books from major publishers in the US are printed in China, that probably just increased the price by 50%, which massively lowers sales and means publishers will do much smaller print runs.

SOS

moving forward I would like to see dems gum up the works every way possible. No unanimous consent, full votes on every tiny piece of business. I don't expect everyone to have the stamina to do a Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, but many lengthy floor speeches. Just slow everything down to a crawl.

Cory Booker is giving me life today. Let's honor his effort and make noise against this corrupt, evil administration. Let's get into good trouble! ❤️🤍💙

It's also the day for my favorite meme! If this aging Klingon warrior can get it right, so can anyone.

Good morning. Listen, you have to just decide. They are not taking the Black Smithsonian. Resolve it in your spirit.

No matter your station in life, there is astoundingly little separating you from those men in that cage behind Kristi Noem. No charges, no attorneys, no hearings, no trial. Just conjecture and brute force could be enough to justify completely dehumanizing you, too.

The Trump administration slashes $11.4B from mental health and addiction programs while preserving generous tax cuts for billionaires. Vulnerable lives are dispensable; concentrated wealth remains sacred. This isn’t fiscal policy — it’s structural cruelty.

1. A new poll shows a massive opposition to government censorship of transgender people happening now. It also shows heavy opposition to the impacts of Trump's anti-trans executive orders... the military ban, teacher investigations, and trans youth care ban. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Pete Hegseth texted war plans to a reporter at The Atlantic. BUT HER EMAILS. Hegseth should resign today.

Really glad Democrats saved the fucking filibuster so they could NOT USE IT. Fucking cowards

When DOGE cuts aviation safety and planes crash, when Medicaid is demolished and your community hospital closes, when trans care is banned through pulling funding, when Musk subverts democracy… These dems own it. Schumer Fetterman Cortez Masto Durbin King Shaheen Gillibrand Schatz Hassan Peters

Fuck this guy

Mahmoud Khalil should be at home with his pregnant wife. Instead, he's been illegally abducted & had his constitutional right to free speech & due process stripped. We're demanding his immediate release and we cannot allow this abuse of power to go unchecked. #FreeMahmoudKhalil

Raising the wage is a women’s issue. Guaranteeing healthcare is a women’s issue. Cancelling student debt is a women’s issue. Making public education (from pre-K to college) tuition-free is a women’s issue. Ending the climate chaos is a women’s issue. #InternationalWomensDay

Sorry not sorry, y’all. I will never ever never never ever support anything that diminishes trans rights - even if it’s just one tenth of one percent of their rights. Never. Because once you forfeit one tenth of one percent, that becomes 10%, then 100%. Every. Time.

Agreed with Gillian here. If you called your Senator (or didn't) to tell them to vote against a trans sports ban, it's important that you also call them and thank them for their vote. NO Democrat broke on this. myreps.datamade.us

Thank you, @markey.senate.gov @warren.senate.gov and all Senate Democrats for uniting in support of trans youth!

100%

Vermont understood the assignment. Take notes, America.

Finally reunited

Correct response

who told this pampered asshole he has the right to speak to anyone like this?

We want to send a message to the world: what has happened today is an absolute disgrace. It is completely un-American.

It took seeing adult bullies to understand that my childhood bullies didn’t even really want to hurt me, they just wanted to feel powerful and how I felt about it wasn’t even in the equation. I can’t imagine someone not outgrowing that, but apparently it happens quite a lot!

There was a President in the Oval Office today. His name is Zelensky. He had to fend off two impotent barking dogs sent by Putin. They are named Trump and Vance.

Each new day exponentially more mortifying than the last here in the grand ole USA

Could not agree more. The Prez & VP are shameful, embarrassing Putin puppets & a disgrace to our country. 🤮 #SlavaUkraine 🇺🇦

Word of the Day is ‘ingordigiousness’ (18th century): extreme greed at the expense of principles.

SOS 🆘 🚨

1. Nearly a century ago, Nazis burned trans books to usher in fascism. Now, Trump is doing the same, digitally burning all records of transgender people and striking the community from records. This must be seen for what it is: a move towards atrocity. Subscribe to support my journalism.

BREAKING: Indigenous activist Leonard Peltier released from prison after nearly 50 years

it was bad when the worst poster on my favorite website bought that website and made it terrible but it has been worse having that person also buy my country that i live in

Don’t buy stuff on February 28. Money’s the only thing these dicks understand. #resist

"We're on the verge of potentially another pandemic and we're firing the people who have probably more expertise than anyone else in the country collectively.”

Yes, thank you, people of NYC!!! With you in spirit 💘🏳️‍⚧️💘
