I received my ballot in the mail! I am voting YES on ballot 50! I know this could be the difference between DJT’s power grab in TX and other places working or not. @fieldteam6.org @villaverla.bsky.social

Brutal.

IN HONOR OF FRIENDSHIP MONTH:

djt: "We have certain things in common, Jeffrey."

Epstein: "Yes we do, come to think of it."

djt: "A pal is a wonderful thing. Happy Birthday- and may every day be another wonderful secret."

And by "wonderful secret", he means raping children.

OMB deletes reference to law guaranteeing backpay to furloughed feds from shutdown guidance An Office of Management and Budget FAQ document now states that only excepted employees forced to work without pay are guaranteed backpay at the conclusion of a lapse in appropriations.

If you didn't realize this earlier, this latest action by the Administration amply demonstrates it does not have the back of federal workers.

Where Is the Line? On Ezra Klein, Ta-Nehisi Coates, and the struggle to define the boundaries of what is acceptable in America

"There has never been a consensus that the nation should exist as a pluralistic democracy. And right now, those who fundamentally reject that vision are in power."

Excellent piece from @thomaszimmer.bsky.social :

I hope you do.

Glad Jake Tapper wrote a whole book about the cover up of dementia in the White House. Oh wait....

Release the Epstein files. He can't shut the government down forever. That's how coups start.

The Hamilton song “Wrote My Way Out” always hits home. That’s me with code — I wrote my way out too.

My family crossed the border chasing a better life. America once saw the humanity in our struggle and gave us a chance.

It’s my turn to return the favor — and I’m not throwing away my shot.

One of these pictures shows a violent insurrection.

The other picture is Portland Oregon.

Good question from CNN. Maybe Jake Tapper could look into the memory issues more here.

Um, not sure I agree. But kudos to you for the six hour commitment.

Including Issa Rae according to my Insta feed.

“Violence beats votes,” proclaimed the longtime top advisor to the U.S. president.

Dictatorship.

Health misinformation is not free speech.

Newsom says he’s on the verge of quitting the National Govs Association: “should not be difficult … regardless of partisan affiliation, to agree that politicizing our states’ Natl Guard and deploying… over the objections of the home-state Governor,harms the interests of states”

Please NEVER talk to cops; especially without a lawyer present. If you have the misfortune of encountering police who request info other than can be discerned by your lawfully obtained ID, keep your mouth shut unless you are calmly, clearly asserting your right to legal counsel. Now, more than ever.

Never ever talk to the police.

don't forget the NOT swearing in of Rep Grijalva and the DISCHARGE PETITION to #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles (> health care)

Vote YES! on Prop 50!!

Let's gooooo, California!

Serious question: What's stopping the State of Illinois from arresting Stephen Miller & charging him with incitement?

The Senate didn't confirm him. He's just a guy.

At some point, the states MUST use their authority to prosecute, because the federal government certainly will not.
