He doesn’t Give AF!

MEMPHIS’ @repcohen.bsky.social on the shutdown…

CEO pay is up 1,094% since 1978, while worker pay is up just 26%. Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

🚨 #SocialSecurity is on the chopping block. Thanks to Trump’s so-called “One Big Beautiful Bill,” retirees are now staring down $18,000-a-year benefit cut in just seven years. Seniors who paid in their whole lives are left holding the bag. – $13,600 cut for a typical retired couple.

Democrats should never vote to fund a government that's waging war on its own citizens and firing officials *because* they insist on following court orders instead of breaking the law. Let Senate Republicans nuke the filibuster. None of this is normal and it shouldn't be treated as such.

😕🇺🇸

Happy Fall, y'all! As a summer girl, I am just now able to welcome in autumn, although of course it is lovely, too

This is it, I believe- the root cause. This, and "corporations are people too" 🙄

Please enjoy the Yellow Wall-the west end of our native garden. Lots of pollen and nectar for all! 🐝 🦋 (sound up for soothing bird & bug sounds) #NativePlants #PollinatorGardens 🌱

California became the first state to ban most law enforcement officers—including federal immigration agents—from covering their faces while conducting official business, under a bill that was signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom. If you ask me, EVERY blue state should do this! Who agrees? ✋

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87% Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32% Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%. As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

This is how a real president responds to jokes about him. Every president since George Washington has been the butt of jokes and satire. Donald Trump is the first president to stifle a comedians 1st Amendment right to free speech It is up to us to make sure Trump is the last #ProudBlue

The files exist,and they need to be released! #Epstein GOP Rep. Thomas Massie Says FBI Has Names of at Least 20 Suspected Epstein Clients ground.news/article/gop-...

Not sure if anyone else feels the same,but one of the hardest parts of dealing with this totalitarian dumpster fire is that no one in my real life wants to talk about it or acknowledge it. They don't deny it's happening, but they shut down any discussion of it. #ShoutingIntoTheVoid

Free speech censorship Political hit lists Detentions w/o due process Internment camps Military in our streets Corrupted law enforcement Demonization of vulnerable communities Coercion of private institutions MSM amplifying state propaganda We are not barreling towards fascism. We are in it.

This beautiful blue heron is doing a little night fishing from the dock tonight #Waterfowl

I won't ever forget #J6. The rise of the kakistocracy!!!

@drpepperofficial.bsky.social Hi Dr. Pepper! My husband caught a shark today,while wearing his Dr. Pepper Shark Week shirt! #DrPepperVibes

Yes, please stop.

"Stay tuned for more details" -- Epstein survivor announces that survivors are creating their own list of Epstein-related abusers

A shout-out to Portland, Little Rock, Ocean City, San Diego, Indianapolis, Salem, Denver, Asheville, and Pittsburgh!

Just so you know, everything that is being pushed out from the Whitehouse is just a ploy to distract us from the Epstein victims testifying on Capitol Hill on Wednesday. Thank you Rep Ro Khanna (D-CA) and Rep Thomas Massie (R-KY) for making this happen. The victims deserve justice! 💥🔥💥

Happy with my second year cardinal flower blooms,which I grew from seed. I have 3 spikes this year,but next year I should have several more 🦋 #NativePlants #PollinatorGarden #Bloomscrolling

Reposting today because I didn't feel my monarch caterpillars got enough love yesterday. And I found two more on my swamp milkweed today! #BackyardNationalPark #Monarchs #Pollinators #PlantForWildlife 🌱

Todays crop- a proud day for me 🌱 #NativeGardening #butterfly

True American heroes- can we hope there are those enlisted now who are equally brave and principled?

Dems should swap out Hakeem Jeffries with Jasmine Crockett. They need that kind of fire.

He’s wanted to declare martial law from day one. Bypass all checks and rule as a tyrant. Many have speculated how he’d do it. Now his gambit is clear. DC was a test. He’s using manufactured crime stats to send troops into blue states & cities. This is not a drill. Democracy is at defcon 1.

The refresher I needed today

@blufaepenguin.bsky.social What an awesome cover pic,welcome!

The cruelty is the point,and too many people are just licking it up. Sickening

www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i... Say it plainly, John Roberts is committing treason against the very Constitution he is sworn to uphold. He is a Koch operative, both David & Charles were in the Speaker's office the day he was sworn in at their insistence. David was sitting on a window sill.

Needed a breather from politics,and went to visit my tihonia forest. A hummingbird buzzed my head repeatedly while I took this pic. Nature heals!

"Lawsuits for thee,but not for me"- what the hell?!?

People want the Epstein files released.

the average homeless person on the streets of DC has thirty-four fewer felony convictions than the current president of the United States

To my critics who say that my position urging Democratic governors to redrawing maps is simply a race to the bottom, I say this: The only thing Donald Trump understand is overwhelming force. We shouldn't bring knives to a gun fight, we should be missiles. Unilateral disarmament is not an option.
