AOC on fire today on X

So am I reading this court decision correctly? We now have 50 micronations with their own laws interpreting the U.S. Constitution wholly separate from one another? But there's one guy with private law enforcement who is immune from all punishment who can do whatever he wants in those 50 states?

Stripping birthright citizenship from people born in this country goes against rights guaranteed in the Constitution. We must stand against unconstitutional actions and stand up for the fundamental rights granted to people in the United States of America.

This is the media’s strategy to divide working people.

Congratulations @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social!!!

AOC: “Republicans are anti-LEGAL immigration I want to make that very clear.”

LAPD fired rubber bullets at Australian journalist @laurentomasi.bsky.social

Me on hour 14 of dragging Republican Medicaid cuts for filth and giving them no end in sight

Republicans are saying that these cuts will be reinvested into Medicaid for people who "deserve" it. If that were true, the budget would stay the same. But that's not what's happening. Why? Because down the hall, they are trying to finance tax breaks for billionaires.

“The president does not possess authority to reorganize, downsize, or otherwise transform the agencies of the federal government, unless and until Congress authorizes such action.”

Chilling report from Brown University. Administration advises all foreign students, staff, and faculty to postpone or reconsider (ie cancel) international travel, due to federal government's crackdown on universities. Brown also warns against *domestic travel* -since it's unclear what ICE will do.

@aoc.bsky.social has been a leading voice criticizing Schumer for agreeing to a Republican spending bill that almost all Democrats opposed, due to provisions that cut programs and expanded President Trump’s power to control government funding.

Trump gutted the aviation safety committee last week. And that is a fact, unlike his “opinions” he likes to share to avoid taking any responsibility.

White House has rescinded the order authorizing a federal freeze on grants.

Meals on Wheels America spox on OMB pause: "the uncertainty right now is creating chaos for local Meals on Wheels providers not knowing whether they should be serving meals today. Which unfortunately means seniors will panic not knowing where their next meals will come from."

This is a constitutional crisis.

DEI has be weaponized as some sort of racist tool to target minorities, but white republicans are some of the most common recipients.

These women didn’t sit down, stay quiet, or ask for permission—they broke the rules and changed the world. Role models. We should add Bishop Mariann Budde to the list.

Guaranteed that by now the G20 has branched off a separate group chat without him in it

"DEI"

@aoc.bsky.social says it best. Why are so many resources dedicated to further excluding such a tiny percentage of the population? #transrights

Trump is defunding roads, bridges, drinking water and more.

AOC: "In this country, we hate Nazis."

ADL defending Elon Musk’s nazi salute. Here’s the rest of their tweet: “It seems that @elonmusk made an awkward gesture in a moment of enthusiasm, not a Nazi salute, but again, we appreciate that people are on edge.”

i think the executive orders directing agencies to end energy efficiency regulations and open up more land to drilling and mining is so indicative of the character of the american right — in its view everything, whether people or our larger environment, is something to be exploited and dominated

For anyone thinking women’s rights can’t get rolled back under a religious autocracy…

I’ll be posting this today

Ketamine is a hell of a drug.

Rep AOC: "republicans, who have voted consistently against the violence against women's act, who have taken the rights of all women to have control over their own body, who as women are bleeding out in parking lots, now want to pretend today that they care about women."

@aoc.bsky.social clarifies she is not going to the inauguration today, stating she does not celebrate rapists.

A great list of ways to keep democracy alive in 2025 from @georgelakoff.bsky.social

Democratic congresswoman Crockett says "we stuck in our old ways of doing things, which is you get there by seniority: if you've been there longer, you get the post." "I don't think we fully sit there and say, who may be best equipped for this moment?"

WEIRD, BUT TRUE: If Luigi Mangione had killed an unarmed homeless Black man instead of the white millionaire CEO of an insurance company, he could have gone to a football game with Elon Musk's co-President instead of facing life in prison.

WOW! THIS PAID OFF… Elon Musk spent $277 million to get Trump elected, but he’s $276 billion richer since the election—he now has the power to kill a bill with a tweet and come January he could crush competition and avoid accountability as a result of his investment.

They want Trump they just don’t want Trump to do any of the things he said he’s going to

“I don’t even use Amazon anymore, I’d rather wait than have some poor employee in an Amazon warehouse get battered and bruised so I can get my book within 6 hours,” one worker said. “People don’t see that; they think it just appears by magic. But it doesn’t, it appears by blood, sweat, and tears.”

The Teamsters will launch the largest strike against Amazon in U.S. history beginning at 6 a.m. EST on Thurs., Dec. 19. The nationwide action follows Amazon’s repeated refusal to follow the law and bargain with the thousands of Amazon workers who organized with the Teamsters. Let's fucking go! 🔥

A Senate probe found Amazon manipulated injury data to make warehouses appear safer. It's twice as high as other warehouse jobs. But sure. Tell me Amazon warehouse workers don't need a union. #UnionsForAll
