We need a Democratic Party led by people who understand and take seriously what it means to be the opposition party under an authoritarian regime. That has to be the framework in which all decisions are made. As individuals we won't always agree on the strategy but we have to agree on the problem.

Lost my cool when people were being apologists for Ezra Klein being a Charlie Kirk apologist

Walking down the streets of NYC, overhearing conversation about how DC needs Congressional representation. @freedcproject.bsky.social is everywhere

Rep. @jasmineforus.bsky.social Crockett points out only 2 of the 58 Dems who voted “NO” on the Charlie Kirk resolution were white: @sethmoulton.bsky.social (Massachusetts) & @quigley.house.gov (Illinois)

It's sorta like a fascist coup, I hate to tell ya

Undercover NYPD photographing of the #MakeBillionaiesPay organizers

#makebillionairespay March is getting ready!

The fossil fuel industry is behind most of the climate disinformation you see and hear today. Charlie Kirk was no exception.

Climate action groups staged actions on Thursday and Friday across Washington DC over increasing methane gas and oil emissions. Groups staged actions at FERC and EPA over its policy which contributes to worsening global climate. dcmediagroup.us/2025/09/19/c...

Princeton’s Carbon Mitigation Initiative and fossil fuel company BP ended their 25-year partnership earlier this month.

Hmm what could be causing the drought

I wanted to get a video of this ghost crab but every time I got close to their hole they scuttled back in, so I tried getting clever with it. I made a little sandcastle and shoved my phone into it, hit record, and walked away. Crab was VERY suspicious of this addition to their environment.

Actual quote "Lockheed Martin is grateful for the opportunity to help bring the President's vision to reality and make this addition to the People's House, a powerful symbol of the American ideals we work to defend every day."

“Why pass a budget if Russell Vought can unilaterally rescind it?” - @schumer.senate.gov taking a #nokings line. Will the Senate Democrats stand strong? Only if they hear from the public that they must

My only amendment would be that there's strong evidence the protests did have meaningful impact, *but* they didn't change the overall trajectory. In no small part because while the Democratic Party was responsive to the protests, the Republican Party was reactive.

For @murshedz.bsky.social @ddayen.bsky.social still haven't quite found when this became *the* D shutdown plan

Great look at the key elements of the Democratic budget showdown plan. #nokings

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social voted today to honor "the life, leadership, and legacy of Charlie Kirk" for "engaging in respectful, civil discourse" "with honor, courage, and respect for his fellow Americans".

oops

We confirmed U.S. Park Police swept into Lafayette Park and took the last signs of the William Thomas Memorial Peace Vigil—after 44 years and 3 months of 1A service, it is gone. We spoke to some of the activists last week and this is their story: dcmediagroup.us/2025/09/09/d...

How the Constitution dies - the process is accelerating

Just another day of the regime's secret police force arresting elected officials

"If it weren’t for President Trump and other Republicans, who knows what milquetoast jokes we might hear?"

so much easier for one fascist to control now

maneuvered into publicly betraying his personal integrity. I honestly don't know what I would do

goodness gracious how efficacious

The Cartoon Villain's Guide to Killing Climate Action - great read from @andrewdessler.com & @hausfath.bsky.social on the DOE climate-denial "report"

The Connecticut Green Bank has successfully built 80 on-site solar-power projects at elementary schools across the state, leading to tens of millions of dollars in savings. Let's do it everywhere. @publicrenewables.org

One thing that I've discovered few people on the left know is how Kirk's "Debate Me Bro" grift (see this @mmasnick.bsky.social post) was made possible in no small part by Charles Koch with his "libertarian" FIRE group and the financing of "conservative" student groups

@leahgreenberg.bsky.social will Indivisible push for a ❌👑 budget?

So disappointing that @indivisible.org is in line for the healthcare for fascism deal. Heck, maybe I'm just a dope and they're right that this is the best Da can do

If we can’t measure pollution, we can’t protect our air or our future. Ending the EPA greenhouse gas reporting program means flying blind on emissions and leaving communities, businesses, and national security in the dark. America should lead on clean energy, not hide the facts.

BREAKING: Trump says he is designating “Antifa” as a “major terrorist organization.” Such a step being taken this way would be concerning enough, given what it actually is, but, given that Trump sees “Antifa” hiding in every corner of opposition, this could be an extremely alarming escalation.

"Democratic Funding Bill Addresses Republican Health Care Crisis" Good thing they picked the only crisis

This guy is great, he should run for something

Great meme, but Senate Democrats are planning to vote soon to fund Trump to keep going

Not a joke: IRS police just arrested a woman for an open container violation

Lol "Some liberals have taken issue with sone [sic] of Kirk’s stances" @bristei.bsky.social reports that some scientists argue that water may be somewhat wet

more firings to honor a "free speech absolutist"

WPSU is set to be the first in the country to go dark after the Trump administration stripped away federal funding for NPR and PBS. “The news devastated me, it devastated all the employees,” said Jeff Hughes, WPSU’s former program director.

my god. Bret Stephens is a harsher critic of Charlie Kirk than @ezraklein.bsky.social is

wondering how to get my newsletter sponsored by these folks

It really is something that the US abducting hundreds of citizens of a key military ally who were helping construct a major cleantech manufacturing facility and putting them in a concentration camp for a week is getting buried in the news cycle by the ritualistic sanctification of a Christofascist.

lol @adamjentleson.bsky.social, who worked at CAP (@americanprogress.bsky.social) 2006-2007, 2008-2010, and 2016-2018, now says he believes CAP is "100 percent pure uncut resistance drivel." (if Reid Epstein is to be believed)
