@repbonamici.bsky.social Thank you for your vote of no today, Congresswoman. It is upsetting that the bill passed, and I hope that @wyden.senate.gov and @merkley.senate.gov vote no in the senate. I hope there's discussion in the party for change in party leadership, though.

The reality is that 2024 was a fundamental test of the moral character of the nation and we failed spectacularly. We’re living with the consequences now. Maybe we improve. I hope so.

ICE agent asked why he's taking pictures of a legal observer's car, replies: "Cuz we have a nice little database and now you're considered a domestic terrorist. So have fun with that."

Wow the pres of one of the greatest countries in the world has no clothes.

AOC: This is quite a bit of market concentration. Agreed? CVS HEALTH CHAIR DAVID JOYNER: No. I'd suggest it's a model that works well for the consumer AOC: It works well for CVS. Health insurance gets a cut, pharmacy benefit manager gets one, drug manufacturer gets one, & the patient gets screwed

There's a government leadership crisis in Haiti that has been going on for a while. It might come to a head on Feb 7 when the transitional gov't is scheduled to step down. What that means, no one knows. There is already gang violence, political assassinations by drone strike and more.

#NYC 's new #OMNY public transit card/app is so complicated, people can't figure out how to get it or use it. And it's ridiculously expensive. This lady's paying $100/week just to get to her job.

This is one helluva lot of truth from tybarnett23. We got here b/c we elected a convicted criminal. And we're apathetic AF. So the fox is running our abandoned home and stealing us blind while he murders women and abuses children. Remember, Democracy isn't free. It's a privilege u have 2 work for.

I needed to hear this today so I’m sure one of you does too. Keep fighting! ❤️ Thanks to tybarnett23

A lot of what Trump is doing is massive market manipulation. He does heavy handed stuff, markets tank, he & cronies buy up stocks etc at humongous discounts and then he backs off of the stupid policies he created or threatened and voilá. When markets recover he's millions richer.

ICE is illegally breaking into people's homes. And using bogus warrants to trick people with English language challenges into thinking that they are real warrants. www.facebook.com/stories/1543...

Go #AOC!

DT can't conceive of the possibility that some people are smarter than he is. The Clintons are such people, and it looks a lot like they may have found a way to force 'open discussion and release of' the Epstein files.

Larisa Mendez shares an interesting news round-up in her Substack

Why the Trump admin’s demand for a list of Jews at Penn is so dangerous. If history teaches us anything, it is that making lists of Jews, no matter the ostensible purpose, is often a prelude to their & others’ persecution. Jews & non-Jews at Penn & beyond have united to support the uni's resistance.

The NY TImes Editorial Board notes, (free article) “Pres Trump has never been a man to ask what he can do for his country. In his 2nd term, as in his 1st, he is instead testing the limits of what his country can do for him.” Plus lawmakers ignore that so far, he’s pocketed at least $1.4 billion.

SEEING IS BELIEVING DHS claims the car being chased rammed the ICE vehicle. The video shows the opposite. 📌 A father and son, a US citizen, are chased. The teen is beaten and seriously injured. The father is deported. DHS lied. The video tells the truth. Excellent reporting by Antonia Hylton.

Amen. The funny thing is, I thought this was ask law already. How innocent I was.

it does feel fundamentally dysfunctional, right, to beg lawmakers to use the law to force law enforcement to obey the law

Trump on NATO: "The problem with NATO is that we'll be there for them 100% but I'm not sure that they'd be there for us, if we gave them the call". We did get the call on 9/11. 26 NATO members sent troops to defend the US. Hundreds died doing so. It was the only time Article 5 has been activated.

The 325 mg of aspirin DT takes daily—4 times the standard preventative dose—could be causing the alarming bruising visible on his hand during Davos speech .. but "rather than address these legitimate health concerns, the WH offers implausible explanations and hopes we’ll all look the other way."

The FBI's final data for 2024 released in Aug 2025 shows America’s violent-crime rate fell to lowest level since 1969, led by a nearly 15 percent decrease in homicide—the steepest annual drop ever recorded. Prelim 2025 numbers look even better.” ~ Henry Grabar in The Atlantic

Jack Smith: "My fear is that we have seen the rule of law function in our country for so long that many of us have come to take it for granted. The rule of law is not self-executing. It depends on our collective commitment to apply it."

This getting started series is for nonprofits with enthusiasm for voter engagement, but limited hands-on experience. In small-group share real-time dialogue, collaborative breakout activities, and meaningful conversations about how every nonprofit can wade into the voter engagement space.

When many speak out against injustice, the collective drumbeat can more easily withstand gov't retribution. Don’t let a would-be dictator and his complicit media conspire to erode our democracy bit by bit. Check out @freepress.bsky.social 's report on big media complicity and share what you learn.

Oh yeah, totally. DT is so set against the Epstein files release that he's willing to blow up the whole world to prevent it from happening. Ever.

A government that uses a 5‑year‑old child as bait isn’t enforcing the law — it’s betraying it. This is abject cruelty wielded as policy and a deliberate assault on the values that make a democracy worth defending.

Uh oh

Virginia Democrats, who have just taken over the Governorship, are putting forward legislation to create a state-run paid family and medical leave program. The program would pay qualified workers up to 80% of their average weekly salary for up to 12 weeks.

This is a list of businesses across Minnesota that are closing tomorrow in solidarity with the economic shutdown. Huge thanks to every one of them for stepping up. If your business is also closing, drop it below.

Whistleblowers just shared a memo showing DHS instructing ICE to force their way into peoples' houses without a proper warrant. Why is this not on all the networks right now? This is a criminal conspiracy to violate rights under color of law.

Jack Smith will be testifying for several hours before Congress in the morning, starting maybe at 7am.

How come sometimes I can find Van Jones' Blue Sky account and sometimes I am completely unable to?

Unbelievable! My son went to see @latenightseth.bsky.social. Show let out at 5 & @ivanwei88.bsky.social has been waiting OVER 1.5 HOURS for the parking garage to give him his car. A bunch of other frustrated, cold, hungry & now late-to wherever-they're-going people are waiting together with him.

Ooooh SNAP! The lady had a very good point. We have to vote like our lives depend upon it - because they sure as heck do.

The President Isn’t Even Trying to Sound Coherent Anymore - Esquire

Oh what? A Dem leader actually acting like he found his backbone? Go Jeffries! Please keep standing up against ICE funding. Do NOT cave.

Hahahaaaa. How does man who treats the Bible as a video prop and spend good life grifting people advising the power of his office and actually tormenting and murdering people, claim that Our Holy Creator is proud of him? This is delusion on the profoundest level.

BREAKING: Immigration officers are asserting sweeping power to enter homes without a judge’s warrant, a memo obtained by AP says.

COLLINS: Did it stand out to you that he said Iceland multiple times when he was talking about Greenland? NEWSOM: And that every time a windmill turns it costs $1,000. A lot of stuff stands out. None of this is normal. There's a deviancy of consciousness. He's graded off the curve.

Hey @cidwilson.bsky.social! I see that there are huge developments in Davos this year. How is the situation looking to you, who has boots on the ground?

📌Donald Trump traveled 4,000 miles to insult our allies and show off for Putin. -END-

No one can be watching this Davos speech and reach any conclusion but that the President of the United States is mentally disturbed and that something is deeply wrong with him. This is both embarrassing and extremely dangerous.

Read today's Hopium Chronicles for an update on the 'Grave Crisis' DT has thrown the entire world into: "One of the way the nations of the world can move against Trump and America is by dumping our Treasuries and equities. This process began yesterday when Denmark sold off and exited US Treasuries."

The hearless slob can't even be bothered to reach out personally to Renee Good's father to offer words of sympathy and condolence – even after learning that the dad was a 'tremendous Trump fan'.

@vanjones68.bsky.social: Dr. King 'freestyled' I Have A Dream on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in 1963. That wasn't even written down. "He spoke into existence a better future that we are now living into ... Think about him as a radical Afro Futurist."
