2026 is three weeks old and already Billy Joel could write an entire We Didn’t Start the Fire about it

Calling my mom to have her come pick me up from 2026 early

Apart from anything else there are no penguins in Greenland. Unless he’s invading the South Pole too….

Minnesota nice (except for ICE).

This is the sort of statement that was expected from every university president and law firm partner over the last year. That those statements weren’t made played a huge part in where we are now and people will remember.

Ice Out rally in Bernardsville, NJ today - great turnout! @nj50501.bsky.social

They are so good at this.

This is the kind of investigation James Comer was made for…

Newsom’s social media team is on a level we’ve never seen before

After a week of ridiculous Republican smears and Trump claiming that “very few people are going to be there,” you just made history. #NoKings

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

Taken just a few minutes ago outside the ICE facility in Portland that Trump claims is under siege. My message to Donald Trump is this: we don’t need you here. Stay the hell out of our city.

Trump is launching an authoritarian takeover of Portland hoping to provoke conflict in my hometown. I urge Oregonians to reject Trump’s attempt to incite violence in what we know is a vibrant and peaceful city. I will do everything in my power to protect the people in our state.

WGA statement on Paramount’s decision to cancel the Late Show with Stephen Colbert.

"Do not get lost in a sea of despair. Be hopeful, be optimistic. Our struggle is not the struggle of a day, a week, a month, or a year, it is the struggle of a lifetime.” One of the greatest honors of my life was serving in Congress with John Lewis. His legacy inspires us all. #GoodTrouble

CBS canceled Colbert’s show just THREE DAYS after Colbert called out CBS parent company Paramount for its $16M settlement with Trump – a deal that looks like bribery. America deserves to know if his show was canceled for political reasons. Watch and share his message.

NEW YORK (AP) — Stephen Colbert tells studio audience CBS is canceling 'The Late Show,' to end in May 2026.

We are here for #goodtrouble @nj50501.bsky.social #GintyField - Morristown, NJ

I was explaining to my Ukrainian colleague the phrase ‘There’s no such thing as a free lunch’. She told me the equivalent in Ukrainian is ‘The only free cheese is in the mousetrap’ - which is so much better

Seeking to "ensure that no President or administration is above the law" - a group of Congressional Democrats will introduce legislation today to order a watchdog office to monitor White House staff and the Exec. Office of the President Just filed to CBS News ====> www.cbsnews.com/news/congres...

I appreciate the optimism of this parking validation machine

8️⃣ days until Good Trouble Lives On. On July 17, we’re honoring Congressman John Lewis by taking to the streets, courthouses, and community spaces to carry forward his fight for justice, voting rights, and dignity for all. Make a plan to march in peace and act in power.

A new analysis shows Medicaid cuts could force nearly 600 nursing homes — many serving low-income, high-need residents — to close.

People in wheelchairs are getting arrested right now in the Russell Senate Office Building in DC. They showed up to tell Congress not to cut their Medicaid, because they cant afford health care without it. If you look closely you can see the zip ties on their hands. #WeWontGetOverLosingMedicaid

Where the hell do we live?! Americans in wheelchairs are being ARRESTED at the Capitol—for daring to demand healthcare and fight for Medicaid. This is what a dying democracy looks like: cruelty for the poor, handcuffs for the disabled. Shame on every damn one of them. #WeWontGetOverLosingMedicaid

When your attempt to look effective just proves you are ineffective

wait, are you telling me the guy who failed at running a real estate empire and failed at running casinos and failed at running an airline and failed at running a football team and failed at fighting a pandemic has failed at destroying Iran's nuke program? how the fuck did we Nazi this coming

“‘I had him inside here for three days, in this Louisiana facility, my baby dead in my stomach, inside my stomach for three days, dead,’ she said.”

A win! Thank you to everyone who spoke out! After facing bipartisan resistance, the Senate Parliamentarian, ruled that Sen. Mike Lee’s proposal to sell off millions of acres of federal land cannot be included under reconciliation rules.

Schrier to RFK Jr: You gave Cassidy the answer he needed to hear in order to get his confirmation vote, then as soon as you were secretary you turned around & fired all 17 members. You lied. I also want to be clear that I will lay all responsibility for every vaccine-preventable death at your feet.

But the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments are clear: no person shall be “deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process of law.” It doesn’t say “citizen.” It says “person.” The Constitution doesn’t get to be optional.

The Supreme Court issued a stay, effectively ruling, for now, that the Constitution no longer applies, at least not to immigrants. Fast-track deportations with no opportunity for judicial review violate the fundamental principle of due process, especially for people already on U.S. soil.

We are posting this placard at all of our offices and asking our union contract farms to post as well. We encourage our friends to put up similar placards at their business as immigration agents do not have the right to go on private property without permission.

Victor Avila, a 66-year-old legal assistant — and a green card holder for 58 years — was detained after visiting his son, who is a member of the U.S. Air Force.

Is the floor so low we’re only half-expecting an apology from a Senator who mocked the assasination of politicians he didn’t like? Or is there just no floor at all anymore? Mike Lee should resign. Today.

Four Democratic members of Congress from Illinois, Jesús “Chuy” García, Danny Davis, Delia Ramirez, and Jonathan Jackson, were denied entry to an ICE facility in Broadview, just outside Chicago, despite federal policy allowing them access without prior notice.

I said what I said.

The midterm elections are in 503 days.

This is a vital message: one of the larger reasons BlueSky is refreshingly free of alt-right shitlords is because in the early days we made a gentleperson’s agreement to starve these fuckos out and it worked. No likes, no quotes, no engagement. They got bored and left. Please keep the Old Ways.

As was often the case, Prince had the rights of it, ahead of time… #NoKings

One of my favorite signs from yesterday’s rally in Lacey Township, NJ 😊 @nj50501.bsky.social #laceytownship #nokings

Holy shit, New York! Here’s the full view. #NoKings #50501Movement

Remarkable. MSNC: "I want to reiterate this has been 100% peaceful." Seconds later, LA County sheriffs start firing on the crowd. Yet again, "law enforcement" deliberately escalated.

Our able men and women in uniform swear an Oath to support the Constitution—they didn’t sign up to spend the weekend in a military parade to feed the insatiable narcissism of an incorrigible insurrectionist/dictator.
