Amplify Rep Lieu's OG post. Here is a dem doing the exact messaging we ask for showing visually how fucked up this is.

Phony wanna be macho man.

This administration is absurd, dangerous, and wrong.

12 minutes waiting for the doc to see me (plus the 15 min they asked me to arrive early); now going past 10 min waiting for the doc to even enter the room ….

"The presence of those seeking the truth is infinitely to be preferred to the presence of those who think they've found it". This book has never hit harder. 💙📚 #Booksky #TerryPratchett #GNU

I saw a man this evening - a postal worker in a postal van with no doors. He stopped to blow his nose. He sounded like a foghorn and shook his dreads with the effort. He saw me. I saw him. He shook his dreads again. We both laughed before he sped away as fast as a breadbox on wheels could take him.

I read the news. “The truth shall make ye fret” accidental slogan of the first newspaper on Terry Pratchett’s Discworld comes to mind.

Jasmine Crockett delivers passionate call for Texans to come together

Latest news! North Carolina Reps. joined together to propose a bipartisan resolution for continued Red Wolf repopulation and recovery effort support, including building wildlife corridors. With only 18 known Red Wolves left in the wild, every step forward is vital. Read more: 🔗 bit.ly/4mDSqZC

I am so sick of people pretending poor red states are the victims of outside forces. WVa has consistently voted against their own interests because they get seduced by reactionary fantasies.

The United States is not okay.

This period of history is so stupid and so scary. Truly a both/and moment .

It’s not a “theory” if there is a conspiracy.

I love everything about this Love, Death, & Robots short, but especially because of that final context. youtu.be/cFyU0yxMdM4

I think about this quote from The Discworld series by Terry Pratchett a lot these days: "A lie can run round the world before the truth has got its boots on."

Visiting Vancouver in B.C., Canada. Much of the “made in Canada” messaging is new, said my Canadian friend I visited, since the “51st state” foolishness.

Hard to imagine being happy that everyone agrees you’re an abusive monster … just not a racketeer.

I drew this in 1996 after 2 anti-immigrant laws were passed: the Illegal Immigration Reform & Immigrant Responsibility Act & the Personal Responsibility & Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act. I thought the USA had gotten to a modern day lowpoint then. I was wrong; we’re lower now.

Good morning. Today we celebrate Loving Day—honoring the 1967 Supreme Court decision that struck down bans on interracial marriage. It’s a powerful reminder that love can change the law—and the world. Here’s to progress, unity, and love in all its forms. ❤️

I can’t say I’d do it again, but I am glad I did the #ToughMudder in Coatesville near Philly this weekend.

Work your democracy muscles. How would you answer this question?

#UPS - six days stuck in Laurel, 30 min from where I live, and your team, who are very sorry about this, say you’ve got a backlog, it’s in a container truck, I can’t pick it up, and there’s no guarantee I’ll get it by Thursday so I can use what I got for the race I am in this weekend.

“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly.” Martin Luther King Jr., Letter from the Birmingham Jail

Kennedy is just making stuff up.

I am listening to 1a, recorded. Hey, “Pastor” Sam Rodriguez, Jr.: the Bible says nothing about “illegal” immigrants. That’s a notion of modern nation states.

If birthright citizenship is unconstitutional, then isn’t everyone who is not indigenous “illegal”, or is there a limit on how far back we are allowed to think?

Karoline Leavitt, WH Press Scty, sounds cranky all the time. She must be fun to hang out with.

Getting butt dialed often means that you are on someone’s frequent/recent call list. So, thank you for the booty call!

Lots on this app about the match in DC. Here are my three favorite images. #handsoff

I missed seeing Trae Crowder in NC because in my excitement, I mixed up cities and realized the show I got tickets for that started about an hour after I got into Charlotte was in a town 2.5-3 hours away.

FFFFFffff

“You can’t make fun of anything.” ~Elon Musk

Censorship and kowtowing to power, an administration that calls journalists “the enemy” is a funny way of “honoring the work of the association’s” journalists.

I have texted or emailed the wrong person before. Never my war plans, though. I’m pretty careful about those.

These really are jack-booted thugs. zeteo.com/p/watch-the-...

Voting does matter, alongside everything else we may do to resist. Get out and listen, learn, choose, join, speak, act, lead!

We just wanted to take a moment to thank all our new supporters! Tomorrow, there will be more of us!

Where were MAHA when Michelle Obama launched Let’s Move and tried to revise the school lunch program? Was it too sciencey?

A kidney transplant specialist and professor at Brown University’s medical school has been deported from the U.S., even though she had a valid visa and a court order temporarily blocking her expulsion, according to her lawyer and court papers.

Michel Martin pressing DHS Deputy Secretary Troy Edgar with questions like “is protest illegal” and to explain what “terrorist” action warranted the incarceration of legal permanent resident Mahmoud Khalil is a masterclass in journalism. And in less than 6 minutes. www.wesa.fm/2025-03-13/d...

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave. Tell them: 1. Vote NO on Cloture AND 2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill. Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it. TODAY is the showdown. 🤳🏽: (202) 224-3121

Just read three articles, all some angle of the politics of our times, all quoting sources “speaking on the condition of anonymity because they feared retaliation.” PSA: healthy workplaces are not places of fear.

This IS what democracy looks like! The Youth Democracy Fest hosted by The Civic Circle and featuring students from several schools around the region was amazing. This shot features the Carpe Diem ukele players, led by singer, songwriter, teaching artist, Munit Mesfin, singing This Land is Your Land.
