These are the weak points. You know what to do. First thing tomorrow, use 5calls.org and raise hell.

NPR's Juana Summers talks with Sarah Jane Tribble, chief rural correspondent for KFF Health News, about how potential cuts to Medicaid could impact rural hospitals.

Every Senator should stand up for their state. But fighting for your constituents does NOT mean getting a special carve out for YOUR state while actively HARMING the REST of the country. We are the UNITED States of America. SENATORS, VOTE NO!

Detaining families in unlicensed, unregulated facilities for an unlimited time is a human rights violation—plain and simple. The Senate budget bill enables that cruelty. ✊🏽 Children deserve care, not cages. 📢 Tell Congress: NO on the budget bill. youthlaw.org/voteno

Tomorrow, join the June 30th Moral Monday in DC: Sign up To Attend in-person or online: bit.ly/MoralMondays... These budgets are not mere numbers; they are moral documents.

The American people were lied to about Vietnam, with tragic consequences. The American people were lied to about Iraq, with tragic consequences. The American people are being lied to again today. We cannot allow history to repeat itself.

SHUTTING DOWN RURAL HOSPITALS—that's the Republican agenda. If their Big, Ugly, Betrayal of a bill passes, rural hospitals across America will be forced to shutter. This will hit Central & Eastern Washington the hardest. We can kill this bill, but NOW is the time to speak up.

Most people aren't tracking this, but the Big Ugly bill would effectively ban marketplace insurers from covering abortion care in ALL 50 states. We can't let this stand. Please help spread the word. Republicans are jamming this bill through—we have to speak up NOW.

Even though Trump is a clown and buffoon, he is still President of the United States and commander in chief of the largest military on the planet, which includes a vast nuclear arsenal. For him to say this is utterly unconscionable. If he plans to act on it, well.

He’s moving us toward what’s called a “police state.” Random abductions and detentions. Disappeared people. Federal troops on our streets. We won’t stand for it.

This is a turning point. This is the line we draw. This is the moment history will remember — when millions stood together to say NO to Trump, Vance, Vought, Theil, and all the corrupt cronies and cult. Follow the movement. Learn what comes next. Join us at FiftyFifty.One. #FiftyFiftyOne #NoKings

People gathered for pro-democracy protests across the country.

If a military parade marches down a street and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?

LA Area friends, if you've been thinking about learning to play the bagpipes, or just feel like whacking a couple of pans together, here's where to go:

“Pretty much wherever you are, you’re probably less than 30 minutes away from your closest No Kings event.” - @leahgreenberg.bsky.social with @democracynow.org We hope to see you at your local #NoKings Day mobilization on Saturday: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

US Veterans peacefully protesting Trump’s military birthday parade arrested at Capitol Hill. This is the moment a 80+ year old US veteran is taken away in handcuffs for practicing his 1st Amendment right. #3E #NoKings #NoKingsProtests (🎥 @gregjstoker.bsky.social )

Helping the U.S. gets you banned, being white gets you a welcome mat. Got it.

BREAKING: President Trump signed 2 executive orders targeting sanctuary cities, directing immigration and law enforcement to take legal action against those who refuse to comply with Trump's anti-immigrant agenda, and encouraging police brutality.

How tech companies are trying to evade IP laws and leverage fair use to gain unlimited access to copyrighted materials for AI training (and how governments have become more friendly to these efforts)

We need to keep repeating that US Citizens cannot be deported. Only trafficked out of the country. ICE and the Trump Administration trafficked a child to a foreign country.

UPDATE on Judge Hannah Dugan’s case ‼️ This is a tipping point in attempts to suppress dissent by targeting our judiciary, threatening the very foundations of our democracy. We cannot remain silent as the admin wears away at the rights of citizens and immigrants alike. @polrev.bsky.social #50501

This is an incredibly dangerous step: The President is going to personally direct the Attorney General to investigate (presumably criminally) the principal fundraising website for Democratic Party-affiliated candidates and organizations. Fundamentally antidemocratic. www.cnn.com/2025/04/24/p...

Talk about priorities.

I wrote today about why creators are losing the AI copyright battle. ✅ We’re winning in the courts. ✅ We’re winning in public opinion. ❌ But the risk is governments changing the law. Creators need to organize. www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/bus...

ALL OVER WASHINGTON

If he won’t resign, he should be impeached.

Back like 20 years ago I bought a random load of biographies in a big leftover bestseller discount sale, one of which was Jennifer Finney Boylan’s She’s Not There. I don’t know much of anything about trans people before that.

I’m guessing there’s strong overlap with then “But when did Star Trek get so woke?” crowd.

It's hard to explain to people outside this fight that Texas is currently trying to ban kids from using public libraries... but they are; it's passed out of committee, and it's going to a floor vote. 🚨If you know ANYONE in Texas it's time for them to call their reps and demand NO ON HB3225🚨

I can't say it any clearer than this: I don't care what opinions, positions, or politics are held or expressed by people illegally seized, detained, or removed from this country. I DO NOT CARE. They're in this country. The Constitution applies to ALL of them as much as it applies to me. Period.

Grabbed at his appointment to become a citizen. Is this who we are? 😕🇺🇸

Bring. Him. Home.

If an administration can get away with falsifying social security records to target individuals, then there is no bottom. There's also no such thing as a "citizen" because that can be changed with a couple button presses too. Mark your SSN and passport as dead then ship you to El Salvador.

Hey, everyone who went to the fight oligarchy rally who lives in the city of LA did you know you have elections right now? There’s this complicated system called the neighborhood council, which means that there are elections you didn’t even know about happening throughout the spring. 1/

Great. Now I need to inject bleach into my eyes.

I’m not reposting anything with RFK Jr’s face on it out of respect for xour eyes but “autism epidemic” is like saying “freckles epidemic” or “cleft chin epidemic” it’s not a disease it’s just a way some people are and the thing we need to fix is a hostile societal framework.

These jerks make everybody else look bad.

Who had the inside scoop and traded on it illegally?

Here's @camestrosf.bsky.social‬'s post about what's going on with the Locus Awards. The good news is that the more people who vote in the awards, the less likely the slate will work. Plus the votes of Locus subscribers count double. 2/2 camestrosfelapton.wordpress.com/2025/04/09/n...

A new bill would limit judges' ability to enforce the law to protect people from President Trump’s anti-civil rights agenda. Tell Congress: Defend our courts from President Trump.

I have seen two almost identical pieces of viral misinformation targeting left-wing people / US Democrats / progressives here on Bluesky in the past few days, so I want to quickly tell you about them. Hopefully this will help us all not to have a third round of this. A brief thread 🧵

Gee what could have tipped them off…
