Proud to be a @edmarkey.bsky.social delegate, ad to cast my vote for him.

As a former town meeting member, I wholeheartedly agree with this.

Introducing 250 to 250: A series of one-minute stories of the many people, places, and events that have built our country and remind us of the power of each person to make history. #WeAreAmerica250

What the actual fuck?

Literally weeping this basic shit is what governance was always supposed to be and we have become so used to corporate corruption and theft that the most basic concept of "making people do the things they are legally obligated to do" seems revolutionary

GOD. DAMN. This Louisiana man fucking COOKED like I’ve seen very few people cook before.

Perfectly said. Absolutely true.

Give me the continued strength to work in Don Davis's district, getting voters to polls, knowing that we are building working class and rural power so that someday the door will hit him on the ass, and NC will finally get the representation they deserve.

LET THIS SINK IN—the U.S. now has no confirmed CDC director, no FDA commissioner, no Surgeon General, an NIH director with no medical license, and the last Acting CDC Director was a George Bush speechwriter. In fact—the only doctor/scientist we have in the White House is… Dr Oz.

You need to know these names: AvalonBay and Equity Residential. If these two billion dollar real estate investment trusts merge, they will be the largest landlord in the United States — and by a large margin. This has massive consequences for tenants. www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

I still cant get over this. How you steal somebody's life... (he was 28 years incarcerated for a crime he DID NOT commit) He gets out, gets a law degree. Runs for office.... WINS... and then they steal the job

Timeline cleanse. Jasper has a new lounging chair. #uglydogs (and cats)

Bannon referred to Orban as "Trump before Trump." Well, Orban is gone. MAGA is next.

This is an amazing moment, and this is what we need right now. Giving me hope.

This is the midterm playbook and Democrats and Independents better learn how to deal with cases like this before then.

Pay attention to Lebanon. Trump and Netanyahu started a regional war in the Middle East, creating a humanitarian disaster. And now, the Israeli army has killed over 1,000 people in Lebanon—about 20% of them are kids. Congress should not bankroll this escalating war of choice.

‼️ Call to Action ‼️ We’re just 35 signatures away from forcing a vote in Congress to protect TPS for Haitians. Have 30 minutes today? Call these reps—even if they’re not your district. The Trump administration has appealed to the Supreme Court to end TPS, putting 350,000 Haitians at risk.

Absolutely agree with this. Scraping emails should b illegal.

This is true. Gotta educate every voter about every ballot question in Nov, including this one.

JUST IN: North Carolina's Dem lawmaker Carla Cunningham gave the GOP the decisive vote to pass a law forcing police to comply with ICE. She said "all cultures are not equal." She just lost reelection BIG in the Dem primary to a progressive pastor & activist, Rodney Sadler. 70% to 22%! Context:

We need to protect children regardless of anything their parents may or may not have done. If you actions are going to hurt kids, don’t do it. This should not be a controversial position.

This is amazing. www.getyourfuckingmoneyback.com

Join me and the people who bring you the “No Kings” march for this webinar on stopping 21st century American concentration camps. I’m honored to help introduce Andrea Pitzer, author of “One Long Night: A Global History of Concentration Camps.” RSVP here for this March 5 mass call.

A piece of me broke when Trump stated…” we have LIFTED thousands off of SNAP benefits”, in reality yesterday my 72-year-old patient informed me her food benefits have dropped now from $152 a month to $40, and all the Republicans stood and cheered!

Let's try this again 👋 Hi Bluesky - I'm Massachusetts' Attorney General. You might know me from suing President Trump nearly 50 times, beating Uber and Lyft in court, or being the first woman of color elected to statewide office in MA. I officially left X today - help me find my MA people?

I can't get over this number: in 2007, there were 360,000 newspaper jobs. Now, there are 80,000. "My local paper sucked!" Sure. What sucks even more? The void. "I get all my news from the Guardian!" No, the Guardian doesn't report on your town council, your school board, local cops.

Some day we'll all regret this & we'll hold hearings & rend garments & pledge "never again" & we'll be just as full of shit as we were last time.

"Stephen Majeski, a deportation officer with ICE’s enforcement and removal operations, requested a 'list of all sentenced inmates in the facility.' ... 12 minutes later, Elizabeth Conley, chief administrative assistant at Suffolk County sheriff’s office, provided the list in an attachment."

Getting shown up in the arena of elite impunity by *the British monarchy* is an incredible “America at 250!” achievement

The thing about all this tariff mishigas is that producers have already found that we're willing to pay the higher prices. I highly doubt many of them are going to roll back prices just because the tariffs have been rescinded.

Don't Help Trumpism Survive Trump Andrea Pitzer warns that quick fixes to ICE brutality can be dangerous. Even reforms in good faith run the risk of entrenching what we want to stop and tacitly endorsing an archipelago of little Gitmos across America.

Y'all going to phonebank with us on Sunday for Rev. Sadler, right? Link below.

Something perhaps not mentioned enough about the digitised world is how much it encourages us to be more ruthless, untrusting people. I refuse to acquiesce to that. I refuse to change my default mode from thinking the best of people until they prove otherwise. I will not submit to the icy nastiness.

It is unsurprising to anyone from Massachusetts that elements of our state government fight basic transparency.

Important and even more disturbing…

This organization was started by two women who ran longshot races in 2018 and who are dedicated to helping folks figure out similar runs. www.bluehorizontexas.org

A few thoughts on last night's Tarrant County upset. 1. This is why we have to run in every race 2. This is what we tried to do in 2018, but folks weren't angry enough yet 3. A little money goes a long way in small campaigns. Republicans aren't actually spending in a lot of "safe" districts

These times are filled with horrors and inspiration. Devastating defeats and historic victories. Altogether, it's exhausting. That's why we must find joy. I find joy in 10,000+ crows going to roost at dusk. Tonight was one of the best nights yet. Higher resolution: youtu.be/URWxDikio5Q 🪶

And this stat doesn’t even include the outside spending.

8. Weiss's project is creating an Operation Paperclip for Epstein's cronies. Taking a group of discredited men and rehabilitating them as necessary pillars of system. Dershowitz and Peter Attia are the Wernher von Brauns of reactionary centrism.

There is nothing shocking about class solidarity among the ruling class. They were, in fact, cynical and ruthless about protecting the power structure.
