Republicans are lying about the peaceful No Kings Day protests because they’re desperate — the GOP is losing the shutdown fight while Americans reject Trump’s authoritarian takeover in huge numbers. “These are the threats of a regime that is not secure in their power.“ - @ezralevin.bsky.social

Mike Johnson is so desperate to shield Republicans from questions about huge healthcare cuts and health insurance costs hikes that he keeps canceling House business so the GOP can hide. Let’s keep the pressure on Republicans to stop hiding and end the Trump Shutdown: indivisible.org/campaign/sto...

There are now one or two of Elon Musk's Starlink satellites falling back to Earth every single day. According to Smithsonian astrophysicist Jonathan McDowell, that figure is only going to keep climbing. futurism.com/space/elon-m...

Jayapal: It is a strange and bizarre time when we literally have a president thinking about plating the ballroom in gold—while he’s thrown 15 million Americans off healthcare, fired over 150,000 federal workers, and is threatening to fire even more if we go into a shutdown.

Five things to remember about war:

If you are feeling weary from the fight. It's okay to rest. Live to fight another day. Activism takes so much out of my lifelong battle, scarred body. I'm resting. Soon I will rise again.

#NoKings - #Sequim, WA. June 14th. 2,600 people.

Trump’s story has always been that he should be president because he was rich. That was always false. In order to become rich he had to first become the president. www.bloomberg.com/features/202...

Not rights, privileges.

"the president defied a Supreme Court ruling to return a man mistakenly sent to a gulag... and spoke of sending Americans to foreign concentration camps. This is the beginning of an American policy of state terror, and it has to be identified as such to be stopped" snyder.substack.com/p/state-terror

Trump’s suggestion that he could run for a third term—and Republican’s tacit openness to the prospect despite its clear unconstitutionality—is a low-key admission they don’t know how to put together a winning coalition without him directly in the ballot. See also: Wisconsin.

I don't believe the Executive Branch will follow any of the court orders. Following the disobeying legal path down the bunny trail ends with the United States Marshall. Who is in charge of the USM? The DOJ. They know this.

Executive Orders are not the main goal. Chaos is. Wearing us out is. Pace yourselves. We are not alone. We are not powerless.

If you’ve never heard of the boat the “Energy Observer”, it’s a floating laboratory for clean energy propulsion tech. Friends of mine, Megan and Polo, took a trip and share with us all some of the cool technologies it has integrated. #skylight #skylightsocial #skylight.social #energytransition

We're now entering the era of the corporate media making money off of reporting on "shocking" developments that the rest of us knew were coming but the corporate media failed to warn us about so they could make money off of reporting on "shocking" developments.

On MLK Day, let’s remember the civil rights leaders who were murdered in the effort to pass the Voting Rights Act, which Antonin Scalia dismissed as a “racial entitlement” that was too difficult to get out of “through the normal political processes”—processes the Roberts Court happily disregarded.

Compare what Abe Lincoln said in his first inaugural address to what John Roberts said 10 months after Obama’s inauguration. We have ceased to be our own rulers—and if we don’t like it, too bad.
