Too cute by half.

Imagine spending your career as a special operator doing bad ass shit and then your command is nixed cuz the Secretary of War is mad women can do awesome things he can't.

This is worth reading. How can we repair the damage being done to individuals and institutions? buff.ly/nHB7yxz

5000 people have signed up to run for office with @runforsomething.net in the last week. Between the election wins & the shutdown fury, we’re taking that momentum in to 2026.

Demand that Speaker Johnson swear in Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva (D-AZ) before the House votes on a government funding package. The main phone number for the U.S. House of Representatives is 202-224-3121.

The First Amendment protects our right to make jokes at the federal government's expense. We have the high ground and the Constitution on our side.

The little School House Rock bill never told us what to do if there's an asshole Speaker who won't allow votes on any bills he doesn't like.

My colleague, Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva STILL has yet to be sworn in. She’s the 218th signature on the Epstein petition. Instead of swearing her in, Johnson once again claims politics, which leaves us wondering—what is he hiding?

4. Earlier this year, Johnson swore in two GOP special election winners while the House was out of session. Johnson held a pro forma session for the swearing-in ceremony within 24 hours. Since Grijalva’s election, the House has held 13 pro forma sessions, but Johnson would not swear her in.

Adelita Grijalva: "Beyond my ability to represent my constituents, this presents a much more consequential question: Can the speaker of the House unilaterally delay swearing in a duly elected member of Congress for political reasons?" 🧾 USA Today: share.google/umOoeN9a0Ciz...

Rules of land warfare continually shift

"no country should go to war so that the leader’s inner circle can make Tiktoks"

Ok. I needed this today! And yes - I cried heartfelt tears watching it.

"Stephen Miller soon joined a growing list of senior Trump-administration political appointees—at least six by our count—living in Washington-area military housing, where they are shielded not just from potential violence but also from protest." Others include Marco Rubio, Kristi Noem, Pete Hegseth.

If members of the United States military are truly being paid their salaries by a private individual, the American people should know who that individual is. Now.

Congress, get your cheeks back in seats and do your job. You are public servants and are failing the nation.

A number of creative ideas are making the rounds… hopefully the Democratic Party will pick up on them

Trump has done many many many many many things that are worse than this, but I bet this is one of the things that turns people.

Federal government is broken. Deliberately broken. Arrogantly broken. Lack of courage and moral character broken. Mike Johnson- we see you breaking it and then telling us we aren’t seeing what is right before our eyes.

Please donate to your local food banks- give them a call to see what they are most in need of. We can’t be mere spectators in this moment. It isn’t the children’s fault.

Current approach to federal governance

Keep using your block! Part of the community agreement we made when Bluesky was the place many of us jumped to from the toXic place.

Frog minds unite

#NoKings We can do this. The emperor has no clothes.

Dozens of costumed roller skaters gathered in the south waterfront Thursday night, where they rolled their way down to the ICE building to create an impromptu roller rink and dance party. "We are full of love & acceptance, and will do everything we can to protect our community and promote love!"

ICYMI: “And now, a response from the leader of the frog resistance...” 🐸 🎵 #Colbert

Almost like we founded the entire country on opposing this exact sentence.

If the choice is being ICE or the Frog: BE THE FROG

I plan to show up to the @indivisible.org @50501movement.bsky.social “No Kings” day of protest Oct 18 carrying our nation’s most powerful symbol. The stars and stripes stands for equality, for freedom, for the rule of law- the opposite of an autocratic King. I hope you’ll join me with your flag.

He has…sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people… He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures. He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power. —Declaration of Independence, 1776

Solidarity. In frog we trust. #NoKings

🚨BREAKING🚨: Portland Frog receives Nobel Peace Prize.

I hereby nominate the Portland Frog for the Nobel Peace Prize.

Dems floated a narrow bill to fund the military, which can’t move because the House isn’t in session. Meanwhile, DoD is now going to spend funds not appropriated by Congress to ensure military paychecks continue. POTUS now both commands and provisions the military. Unconstitutional and SO dangerous

Outside of Portland's ICE facility last night, Kenny from South Park got married to a unicorn. The betrothed Portland couple said they decided to get hitched on site to bring some joy and fun to a dark time. "People can be fun loving people and still protest." www.oregonlive.com/crime/2025/1...

Protect the Portland frog at all costs 💪

Portland is toadily opposed to the violent cruelty of the Trump Administration.

Every generation has its own hero.

Just a reminder, the layoffs in govt were just done out of spite, not necessity

just randomly looking around and found a place that sells these outfits in multiple sizes, if anyone's interested www.favounicorn.com/inflatable-f...

Government shutdowns offer a rare opportunity to un-submerge the submerged state. Something Democrats could/should be doing is every day of shutdown, pick some agency and focus on it for the day. Highlight what it does and what we're losing each day their staff are furloughed.

Hello!

Of course they are. Real footage of Portland looks like this:
