"Those who would twist this moment to attack Afghan families aren’t seeking safety or justice — they’re exploiting division and endangering all of us." Statement from the @afghanevac.bsky.social veterans on the DC shooting.

How not to get sick...wear a mask...eat outside. #COVIDisnotOver

Do you think that our judicial system is rigged to favor rich white men?

Tyson is closing a Nebraska plant that employs 3,200 workers in order to “right-size” its business. The meatpacking giant paid its CEO $22.7M last year, 525x its median employee's pay. It also spent $196M in stock buybacks to reward shareholders. Textbook corporate greed.

New sham investigation of one of tRump's perceived enemies.

BREAKING: A federal judge has thrown out the criminal indictment of James Comey, ruling that Trump-installed prosecutor Lindsey Halligan was illegally appointed and had no lawful authority to bring the case. The court found her actions violated federal law and the Constitution’s Appointments Clause.

Want to change the world? Change the way you shop—starting this weekend! From 11/28 to 12/2 we’re not shopping at Home Depot, Amazon, or Target bc they supportTrump & his policies. Instead, let’s shop at small businesses who need our support, enrich our lives and stand with our communities. 👏🏼👏🏼

Friends, Make a habit of contacting your reps regularly about what is on your mind. We must jam the phone lines and fill up the email boxes with our requests and comments. There are two very easy ways to do this, call or write.

🎯🎯Must read piece on how John Roberts created the conditions for Trump’s rise and has enabled his criminality at every turn by @pemalevy.bsky.social and @ariberman.bsky.social www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

The President of the USA is inciting violence. I am stunned. Please call your reps now and tell them that tRump needs to be censured. Capitol Switchboard: (202) 224-3121

Can’t believe the whole country has to suffer through the return of Dickensian childhood diseases because the worst, most ignorant attention-demanders decided other people’s expertise makes them feel bad

The House takes 2 months off & finally reports back to work & promptly spends the next week filing censure motions against each other & attending black tie dinners w/Saudis while the clock counts down for 24 million people to have their health insurance premiums spike in 42 days.

Astonishing to stop and realize that, at any given moment, bands of masked men armed to the teeth are storming churches and daycares, terrorizing entire communities—and that most of the country's political establishment barely blinks.

The House Oversight Committee has subpoenaed J.P. Morgan and Deutsche Bank for Jeffrey Epstein's financial records. tinyurl.com/mtdt5ny8

Why did not a single male reporter who were standing next to the president and the female reporter he called "piggy" say a word to the president about this and call him out then and there? Those who keep quiet in these moments are part of the problem.

I’m traveling today, so in a brief piece I address two questions I’ve seen a lot in the past 24 hours: 1) What if Trump blocks the files from being released by claiming there’s a new federal investigation of Democrats, & 2) Couldn’t they just tamper with the evidence and erase his name? Link below.

Epstein survivor Sharlene Rochard talks with Jen Psaki in an exclusive interview tonight about how she, as a girl in her early teens, was brought to parties at Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago.

The power of the purse is real. Buy local or buy nothing. November 27 - December 1.

My legal team will be in federal court in North Carolina today fighting against the state's unconstitutional redrawn congressional map. Before you listen to those in the GOP who say we can't win, ask Texas how that worked out for them.

I want to take a moment to thank the entire Elias Law Group team who worked on the Texas redistricting case as well as our fearless clients. The thirteen Black and Latino voters we represented stood up to challenge Texas's unprecedented mid-decade redistricting. We all ow them a debt of gratitude.

While Trump’s goons are desperately trying to criminalize protests, there are ways to protest that don’t involve leaving your house. Trump can’t make you shop. Boycott Black Friday thru Cyber Monday. November 28th-December 2 Don’t buy a damn thing besides necessities. Hurt the billionaires.

Respectfully, it’s not about priorities, it’s about cruelty and selfishness.

He always dodges the big risks.

"Democratic candidate to the Texas House of representatives, Sara McGee, has made a shocking claim that President Donald Trump's administration will now say they can't release the Jeffrey Epstein files because they are part of an ‘active investigation’."

“Weaponizing the DOJ” takes on a whole new level when you order investigations in order to reopen it so it’s no longer closed and you can claim you can’t release information because it’s an “ongoing investigation”

He’s been ranting in long posts all night. Rather than subject you to his drivel, refer to the gif below for the gist of it.

For no particular reason….posting former U.S. Attorney General John Mitchell’s mugshot before he went to Federal prison for committing numerous crimes on behalf and or/at the direction of President Nixon including obstruction of justice and conspiracy.

#GVerse Barack Obama @barackobama.bsky.social just walked onto a plane full of veterans & thanked every single one of them: no stage, no teleprompter, no ego trip. #MyPresidentBarackObama 🫡🇺🇸 Hit the like, & repost to show your love for this man, a true American Hero! #VeteransDay

Just a refresher course for everyone. This entire presidency has only ONE objective: Raid the US Treasury for the personal gains of Trump and his oligarchy cronies.

To all of the veterans here on Bluesky and our family and friends who are veterans. 💙 Thank you for your service! 💙

It’s not enough to simply thank our veterans for their service. Millions of them rely on SNAP and the ACA. Many struggle with PTSD and worry about access to mental health services. Today, on Veterans Day, let’s renew our commitment to keep fighting for those who fought for us.

THIS IS NOT A DEAL, IT'S A SURRENDER. @ezralevin.bsky.social @indivisible.org

There’s real irony in this: lawmakers can’t get back to DC to vote to reopen the government because flights are canceled, thanks to the same shutdown they caused.

Since 2020, I have been fighting for mail-in voting and the GOP has been fighting against it. A critical court case is now going before the U.S. Supreme Court. I can assure you that I will be there fighting hard to ensure every lawful ballot counts.

In the midst of all this chaos, don’t forget.. #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles

Jeffries is whipping NO votes in the House on the shutdown deal. From Jake Sherman at Punchbowl:

Voters want a Democratic Party that fights back against the forces that have rigged the system and made their lives more difficult. A party that comforts the afflicted and afflicts the comfortable —not a party that buckles and capitulates. When will party leadership learn this lesson?

From street marches to court battles to the ballot box - we’ve challenged the power of this exceptionally unpopular president. The lesson from each success we've had is that we need to ramp the political pressure up, always up, not back down, now more than ever.

One of the many problems with the elected leadership of the Democratic Party right now is that most of us have no idea why they are doing what they are (apparently) doing. Why would they cave *right now* for essentially nothing? What is the logic, even if it's dogshit logic? Totally unclear. 1/2

entirely possible some senators experienced some flight issues getting home and decided selling out the entire American healthcare system for the poor was a reasonable trade for fixing it

It’s not too late to stop the last vote in the Senate – stop the cave, save the ACA subsidies. Here’s why: youtu.be/nXDpdFmGcGg?... Watch the video, then call. Get SCRIPTS from 5calls.org

Who is with me – no buying from major corporate businesses, Thursday, November 27 through Monday, December 1? Everything You Need To Know: weaintbuyingit.com

Thank you to whoever leaked the fact that some Dems considered caving. That is not an option. We all want the government open but we need ACA subsidies officially extended. Pen to paper. Nothing less. Period.

@schumer.senate.gov @schiff.senate.gov @padilla.senate.gov DO NOT give in to reopen government without securing ACA subsidies. Millions will lose their health insurance without the government subsidy. These millions cannot afford insurance without it. #resist

Tell your Democratic reps not to cave on retaining ACA subsidies. Text Sign PZBDFP to 50409 to email your reps now. It only takes a minute or two. If you have a republican rep, text Sign PTXDND to 50409 to explain why they need to permanently extend the ACA subsidies. It only takes a minute or two.

The juxtaposition of these stories in today’s @nytimes.com exposes the true evil of Donald Trump and MAGA Republicans Millions of people desperately worrying about whether they will be able to get SNAP benefits and feed their children While the government works hard to make billionaires wealthier

This is garbage, however, there are still millions who will believe that getting rid of the ACA will benefit them. (insert head banging emoji)

I always find it interesting how the story changes when a lawyer gets to court. They can say anything they want outside of court without accountability but the rules are vastly different in court where you can get seriously penalized for lying.
