I think people are rooting for leaders who are actively pushing back. I don’t mind a few f-bombs in words or actions from Dem leaders. I think it’s what we need right now.

This video from a clinic escort in North Carolina absolutely made my day—and I think you’ll feel the same. We need more of this energy in the world: www.tiktok.com/@rsimon113/v...

This is a subskeet of at least 20 people who responded to this post with "we're already in fascism why would you say otherwise" I don't think this is an important thing to fight about but clearly a lot of people do so I'm going to explain my reasoning

A walled city and a royal guard.

UPDATE: Pete Hegseth was standing right there the entire time and not a single reporter in the White House press corps asked about him promoting the idea of women losing the right to vote. Unbelievable stuff.

"There’s no fix. There’s no solution. There’s just all of us, here together, rallying around each other, staying engaged, and using our leverage opportunistically. Helping where we can. Saving who we can. Making good trouble." Today's Triad from @jvl.bsky.social: www.thebulwark.com/p/how-to-mak...

“Virtually everyone agrees that people are becoming ruder,” Arthur C. Brooks writes. But though you may not be able to fix the broader trends in society, you can—and should—be polite for your own sake.

When I say don’t mess with Texas women, I’m talking about State Rep. Jolanda Jones.

America will treat some random tik tok account stupidly complaining about Sydney Sweeney as "The Left" but will treat horrific things said, done and endorsed by Donald Trump who is *check notes* The President as "Trump Derangement Syndrome"

Trump is that old uncle that throws shade 1950s style and stands too close

Fact checking is fun!

Honestly did not realize Bill O'Reilly was still alive, and now I'd like to report his murder.

🔥 Rosie O’Donnell, an American, responds to Trump threatening to revoke her citizenship — showing he is coming for anyone who opposes him eventually: “You are everything that is wrong with 🇺🇸… King Joffrey with a tangerine spray tan. I’m not yours to silence. I never was.”

By slashing billions from food assistance while expanding harsh work rules, Republicans are deliberately targeting women—especially single mothers—who rely on SNAP to keep their families fed.

Book mail! TANGLED LIVES, edited by Teresa Berkowitz (from Tangled Locks Journal), contains a lot of powerful feminist stories. I'm a big fan of the Tangled Locks mission - and I was happy to provide a blurb for this lovely and fierce book! @teresaberkowitz.bsky.social @tangledlockslit.bsky.social

Cursive was dropped from most schools after Common Core in 2010—but now states like California, Iowa, and Oklahoma are bringing it back. Why? Research links it to stronger reading, spelling and storytelling. theconversation.com/can-learning...

Bullshit. His age, growing up in NY, he knew. President Donald Trump says he didn’t know the term “shylock” is considered antisemitic when he used it in a speech to describe unscrupulous moneylenders. apnews.com/article/trum...

9 million US women (of reproductive age) now live 200+ miles from the nearest abortion clinic. When they need an abortion, they’re forced to navigate not just highways & airports, but also: how to miss work without losing their jobs; who will watch their children; how they'll afford to travel?

Tell your story.

people don't appreciate how few people outside of MAGA think of Trump as some kind of alpha male

Domestic racially motivated violent extremism perpetrated white supremacists is the number one terror threat in the U.S. and it’s not even close. That’s not an opinion. www.judiciary.senate.gov/imo/media/do...

Here is the Minnesota shooter giving a sermon in Congo, blasting American churches for not taking a stronger anti-abortion stance. He says, “God is going to raise up apostles and prophets in America to correct his church.”

Just before the end, was the beginning of the end. We went through the motions, drove our cars to work, bought groceries, educated our children. Violence was seeping into the edges of some people’s lives and drowning others. We felt the dread but didn’t know how prophetic it was.

The Trump administration is violent.

Wishing this was a deep fake.

Thanks, MAGA. You’ve sent us down a path of endarkenment, which in the past has led to famine, war, and the collapse of countries that were once major powers.

Crockett: That’s why they hired everybody from Fox because all they’re trying to do is put on a show.. I want us to refocus our attention on the American people and stop demonizing every person that ends up in ICE custody… *Applause* Van Drew: *bangs gavel*

Just listened to the Hur interview tape and I’m utterly appalled at all the incoherent and crazy things Biden said about Revolutionary War airports, injecting bleach, people eating cats and dogs, Hannibal Lecter, and Arnold Palmer’s penis. Simply unbelievable that he ran for president again.

Resistence is NOT futile

100 days of spaghetti noodle spines and sticky sweet flattery.

Swalwell says the House Judiciary republicans just voted to allow Trump to deport US Citizens. From IG:

When Caitlin Flanagan learned that Mahmoud Khalil had been arrested, “every siren in my body screamed. Down to the marrow of my bones, I am an American. And we don't do this.”

Warnock: I hear people attack poor people and act like it’s a crime to be poor, rather than to recognize it’s criminal for so many people to be poor. They do all of this in the name of Jesus… Jesus is the biggest victim of identity theft in the United States

I think of so many parents who need to hear this rebuke of rfk jrs dehumanizing lies about autism. The bigoted statements are the precursor to dangerous policy. We see it in every group that they try to “other.” If we don’t let anyone break us up and put in little boxes, we can fight united.

"The catch is that in order to get attention, you have to be terrible. You have to lie or embrace evil. In the attention economy there is enormous demand for civic blasphemy. What’s hard is getting attention for messages about truth, or virtue, or love."
