@reprileyny.bsky.social Have you seen this article? I hope Congress will address the loss of jobs. www.axios.com/2025/05/28/a...

Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries just called to ban members of Congress from trading stocks.

Some photos from the electrifying #handsoff march in Ithaca NY… huge turnout (photos taken with permission and/or intentionally obscuring faces)

#HandsOff Ithaca, NY about 3000 people

Ithaca, NY

The streets of Ithaca New York were filled with thousands of people today marching against the Fascism of Donald Trump!

Sen. Cory Booker yields after over 25 hours: “This is a moral moment.”

Sen. Corey Booker stood on the floor for 24 hours straight to defy fascism. Rep. Josh Riley? He announced a plan to beat fascism by weatherizing houses. Really. Dems need more Bookers, fewer Rileys. #CoreyBooker #JoshRiley #NY19 #Ithaca www.joshrileywatch.com/podcast/can-...

Congressman Josh Riley has stopped sharing info about his public events. He deleted the link from his congressional web site. He took down information about his legislation too. What gives, #JoshRiley? Don’t we have the right to know what you’re doing? www.joshrileywatch.com/podcast/why-...

Democracies stand with Ukraine.

The first measles death in the US in a decade -- the tragic, preventable death of a child whose parents chose not to protect them with vaccination -- should spark an immediate nation-wide campaign to ensure all children are protected against preventable diseases. Anything less is unconscionable.

I sense he will be as toxic to the Trump brand as he already is to the Tesla brand.

The Democratic Party is starting to get their heads around the idea that the game has changed here, but only halfway. It’s only that they’re thinking oh, now we have to change our messaging to reflect concern. No,you have to f-ing DO something about it!

The President has signed an executive order saying only the President and his Attorney General can interpret the laws applying to the President and his Attorney General. That’s #dictatorship. www.jurist.org/news/2025/02... #POTUS #authoritarianism

I've had a lot of requests for it, so I will post it first tonight! Thanks, @chriswarcraft.bsky.social, for talking with us today about confronting MAGA, getting arrested in California, @protecthb.bsky.social, and fighting the good fight! #Spotlight Interview! soundcloud.com/user-5879035...

"Democrats have one simple message to deliver: Republicans are responsible for everything that happens from now on. Republicans control Congress and the presidency. All the consequences, government shutdowns and failures will be Republican-owned." thehill.com/opinion/camp...

Timothy Snyder - intro - “Fascists rejected reason in the name of will, denying objective truth in favor of glorious myth articulated by leaders who claimed to give voice to the people.”

Buy this book and send it to Republican Senators! Tyranny is here. We can still fight back!!!

We need a candidate to come out and say “one day one of my administration, I will impose a tax of 50% on billionaires and grant everyone health insurance.”

Around 35% of SpaceX’s revenue comes directly from the federal govt. Less than 1% of NPR’s budget comes from the federal govt.

DOGE is reportedly threatening NOAA with massive staff and budget cuts. NOAA houses the National Weather Service and National Hurricane Center, which produce forecasts and warn people about storms. This attack on public safety is ripped straight from the pages of Project 2025.

Trump continues to target Ithaca after last week’s ICE raids. His Dept of Education is investigating Ithaca City School District for holding events for students of color. At same time, Trump seeks “choice” with government $ for racially segregated private schools. www.ithaca.com/news/ithaca/...

An unelected billionaire, with no actual Congressional authority or govt experience, has access to Treasury payment systems and sensitive information about millions of Americans who receive Social Security checks, tax refunds, and other payments. What could go wrong? www.nytimes.com/2025/02/01/u...

Yes. While there are absolutely things Democrats can and must do to slow, obstruct, etc, GOP hold both House and Senate majorities, severely limiting our options. Johnson and Thune are handing over the own keys and relinquishing their own power. Even for the cynics this should be a shock.

Anti Ice protest in the cold

So the world's richest man spends a fortune backing Trump and is given the go-ahead to... -Run an "efficiency" agency despite having billions in govt contracts -Replace civil servants with his own cronies -Gain access to sensitive Treasury payment systems See the problem?

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too. Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more. Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.

I am on hold with the IRS. I wonder if people still work there.

Trump has taken a sledgehammer to government ethics by: -Rescinding Biden's EO outlining ethics commitments for political appointees -Firing 18 federal inspectors general -Launching a self-enriching crypto coin This will be the most corrupt administration in history.

I'm sick of hearing politicians and corporate media tell us that there is no #resistance to the fascism of Donald Trump. It's BS. I see people resisting every day. Let's get back to the spirit of 2008. Can we resist fascism? YES WE CAN. There is no other option. #YesWeCan

Idiocracy has arrived 💯 〰️AdminJenn

Make no mistake: Trump’s first week was a catastrophe for many vulnerable people. But the biggest story was his startling initial moves from democracy to oligarchy. My hope lies in Americans noticing this. robertreich.substack.com/p/trumps-fir...

Timothée Chalamet doubled up as host and musical guest on “Saturday Night Live” this week. And in a cameo, Lin-Manuel Miranda rapped about freedom from royal tyranny. Here’s an episode recap.

Travel, grant and funding cuts ‘stifling’ US health agencies in new Trump era The US will fall behind. There is nothing pro-American here.

The Laken Riley Act - HR29 - is the first big #fascist legislation of the #119thCongress. It seeks to deprive millions of people living in the USA of the right to a fair trial, and is a step toward enabling Donald Trump to set up concentration camps. It’s time for Americans to stand up and resist!

I donated $, volunteered all summer & autumn. I voted. I did this w/ the assurance that Josh Riley would and stand up to Donald Trump. This week, Congressman Josh Riley voted for extremist #MAGA legislation HR 23 and HR 29. Is Josh Riley now MAGA? #JoshRiley #Ithaca

Your flu season reminder that paid sick leave is better for workers, companies, and society as a whole.

Under no circumstances should Pete Hegseth be entrusted with the U.S. military. But will Senate Republicans do their duty?

Massive Energy Needs of AI & Cryptocurrencies Lead Amazon, Google & Microsoft to Embrace Nuclear Power

Never forget this: The GOP’s nonsensical culture war is meant to distract you from corporate corruption, worker oppression, and staggering wealth inequality.

Russia did exactly this to HRC in 2016, aiming to suppress her vote, and probably did. Musk no doubt did suppress Harris voting as well with these demotivation techniques. This should be illegal. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

We simply cannot allow Matt Gaetz -- someone plagued by serious criminal accusations and one of the most devout Trump loyalists of them all -- to serve as Attorney General. Sign the petition today!

Is America an oligarchy? Even a system that calls itself a democracy can become an oligarchy if power becomes concentrated in the hands of a few very wealthy people and corporations.

President Biden tried to raise the overtime threshold, which is the point where salaried workers are entitled to earn overtime pay. It would have helped millions. A Trump appointed judge in Texas just blocked it. Please tell me you see which party is actually fighting for the average worker.
