TUNE IN: I’m holding the Senate floor to protest Trump’s grave threats to democracy. We cannot pretend this is normal. youtube.com/live/bE37g0m...

If you have the time this expose is worth every second of your attention. And if you or friends are adherents of AltNPS and/or AltYello this will give you pause. Please watch it. Even tho I’m not mentioned many of my altSiblings made the cut.

Cards Against Humanity (the company itself) keeping it salty apnews.com/article/card...

Retired Army Sgt. Brian Wofford spoke to me this morning at the Oklahoma City #NoKings protest. Didn’t expect him to be carrying his DD214 so I asked some warmup questions like when he got out and whether his injury was service-related. He paused while describing the car bomb in Iraq to say this:

Hell yeah! Love this take apnews.com/article/no-k...

Did you know that you can not only block accounts you don't want to see, but you can also report them and individual posts to Bluesky for illegal or false/misleading information (looking at you, 15 new government accounts that joined this week and immediately put out a bunch of blatant lies)

Chicago getting it done!! apnews.com/article/chic...

Getting my head in the game today for this long fight ahead of us youtu.be/p50JG49loH8?...

Military personnel literally vow to defend the Constitution to the death, which includes free speech. I would never burn a flag, but my family and I didn't serve to pick and choose which types of speech are protected. We fought to keep this country free www.the-independent.com/news/world/a...

There’s renewable energy ads and there’s mother**cking wind farm ads. This, blissfully, is the latter.

When you strip away humanity

FACTS:

They're telling you.

Inner-city rats? Islamic atmosphere?! By that, did you perhaps mean you don't welcome peace, love, and community? How is this what we've become that a sitting US Senator is allowed to make statements like this with zero ramifications www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

"Every tool and strategy" killed 4 people and injured 9 others at Kent State in 1970. We know what we're facing here www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

English is dumb. Why is it that if you're missing something (as in overlooking or not getting it), you didn't even notice it wasn't there, but if you are missing your keys you clearly know they aren't where they're supposed to be

Oh, so now remote work is ok? AP News: "(Musk) is no longer physically working from the White House, although 'it really doesn’t matter much.'" White House chief of staff told the New York Post that his DOGE efforts are having the “same net effect” as Musk being there in person

This is devastating. More than half the population in the US is female and somehow it's still extremely difficult (and getting harder) to fund studies that even include women in clinical research #womansky www.msnbc.com/top-stories/...

Never forget.

This is working! Trump can say we all got paid for this, but all he really did (besides prove he can't math) is validate that 5 million people actually showed up. Let's keep it up!

Oof. It's rough when Fox News can't even find anything to put a positive spin on today

This is what organizing over 1,200 events in a few weeks looks like. This is what democracy looks like. Join the more than half a million of us who will be taking to the streets tomorrow to stand up against Trump’s unprecedented power grab: handsoff2025.com?SQF_SOURCE=i...

According to Riddick's Senate Procedure, a speaker must, "remain standing and must speak more or less continuously." Despite good intentions, this is an ableist policy that excludes some of our active Senate members from being able to engage in the process of a filibuster or prolonged speech

Cory Booker has been speaking on the Senate floor for over 18 hours with no sign of slowing down. This is what leadership looks like www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2ut...

When people don't stand up to bad leadership, it's rarely because they don't care. It's often that they feel powerless. Learned helplessness is the pattern of giving up when we learn that events in our lives are beyond our control. The answer isn't to accept defeat. It's to find sources of power.

This trust fall is going to hurt like a mother

Turns out science does work. Who knew? Fox News headline:

We’re almost at 250,000 people signed up to attend 1,000 events in all 50 states. Please join us in the streets on Saturday: handsoff2025.com?SQF_SOURCE=i...

Guster for the win last night: "Our band is here to say our stage is your stage. We are your allies, we stand with the LGBTQ community, and we want you to sing with us. Please welcome the cast of Finn and composer Michael Kooman. They belong here." www.thehandbasket.co/p/guster-fin...

So this "push for representation in leadership positions" isn't DEI? Just checking. www.foxnews.com/politics/sco...

You're entitled to your own opinions in your head. But if you choose to express them out loud, it's your responsibility to: (1) Ground them in logic and facts (2) Explain your reasoning to others (3) Change them when better evidence emerges

A key strategy in a cultural revolution, from Mao to Pol Pot to Castro, is to destroy the research partnership between government and the universities. Well underway. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/03/14/m...
