The shape of politics in the US right now is increasingly that the media, political and economic elites are allied with the Trump regime against the actual people of the country who hate it

We’re honored to report that over 11 million showed up for today’s No Kings protest, and totals are still coming in. Just… wow. WOW 😮! There’s nothing more to say.

Just want to take a moment to shout out the international reporters helping us get the real story out. When an 80-year-old veteran with a walker is hauled off with his hands zip-tied behind his back, and the media spins it as a “threatening breach” of a police barricade

Every person with a spectrum disorder has a more valuable life than RFK Jr, and every trans/nb person has a more valuable life than JK Rowling. You are a human with dignity and they are sunken demons

Ocasio-Cortez raised $9.6 million in three months, smashing her own record It’s a massive haul for the progressive lawmaker who has been barnstorming the country with Bernie Sanders.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez pulled in a massive fundraising haul amid progressive calls for her to launch a 2028 primary challenge against Sen. Chuck Schumer

In the middle of a hepatitis outbreak, U.S. shutters the one CDC lab that could help All 27 scientists at this CDC lab were told their duties were "unnecessary," and now viral outbreak investigations have been halted

The right keeps saying the left is violent, but the numbers tell a very different story

Trump intervention suspected as Andrew Tate, brother Tristan leave Romania for U.S. despite rape charges Four British women who've accused Andrew Tate of rape are "in disbelief and feel retraumatized by the news" that he's been allowed to leave Romania for the U.S.

Donald Trump just helped free Andrew Tate from his rape and human trafficking charges.

Tate has bragged about grabbing women by their necks, breaking their jaws, and said “I am absolutely a misogynist.”

the ongoing new lavender scare has been hard for me to grapple with. if you are transgender do not get caught doing anything illegal and do not say anything anywhere that the state would want to prosecute you over. genuinely, be careful and prepare however you can

Democratic Rep. Robert Garcia has published a letter sent to him by Trump’s Department of Justice threatening to potentially prosecute him for criticizing Elon Musk.

#USA: "We urge the US government to immediately resume funding of critical humanitarian and health aid, either through rescinding relevant orders freezing funding or expanding the current narrow humanitarian waiver to cover all necessary health and humanitarian programs." - @avrilbenoit.bsky.social

Most teachers/professors are liberal-progressive because facts have a liberal bias and history warns us against the dangers of fascism. We should create a public teach-in movement to share more reliable evidence based and historically accurate knowledge with the public in more ways & places.

Purging dissent in the security services and giving loyalists power is something we *instantly* recognize in other contexts.

The authoritarians & oligarchs benefit from us blaming eachother for the massive wealthy inequality in this country. Blame the corrupt billionaires, mega corporations, and big money in politics. Not your neighbor.

a good part of me thinks that in addition to everything else, the reason they are scrubbing these stories is they do not want disadvantaged kids to believe they can aspire to anything other than their designated “black” or “hispanic” or “woman” job

New — The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) was told this week by DOJ that they'd lose their funding if the org didn't remove any mentions of LGBTQIA+ issues from their public materials, I've learned. Staff were told they need to deadname trans kids in their reports to comply.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau literally exists to protect consumers from predatory financial institutions. It's returned over $21 billion to 205 million consumers. The sole result of this move is that Americans will have no recourse when they get screwed over by a bank. Good work Elon 👍

Dozens of clinical trials are now in limbo after Donald Trump’s freezing of USAID, an organization that funds and supports crucial medical research worldwide.

I remember when right-wing media said that I wasn’t qualified to be a member of Congress because of my credit card debt. My debt was nowhere near $1.2 million.

Do they think the same of RFK Jr? Or does that standard only apply to young people? We know the answer.

Major breaking trans news: The States of Washington, Minnesota, and Oregon have sued the Trump administration to block it from enforcing a national gender affirming care ban for those under 19 years of age.

This is the second major lawsuit over Trump's trans ban EO.

Docs to come.

Hell yeah. Hold the line. This is what we need people to do.

Slow things down, don’t comply in advance so the courts have time to stop them. It’s starting to work.

Popular meme format, grandma labeled with "bluesky's public launch was one year ago today." Younger person helping her labeled with "sure grandma let's get you to bed."

happy first birthday to Bluesky, and what a year it's been!

with every day, the need for an open network that puts people first becomes increasingly clear. we're glad to be building this with you. after all, the heart of a social network is the people.

Every single Senate Democrat will vote against Russell Vought, the Trump nominee for OMB and chief architect of the ultra-right Project 2025.

We are holding the floor of the United States Senate overnight to expose how Project 2025 is the Trump White House agenda.

Murphy: "We need to act like a real opposition party in the middle of a constitutional and democracy crisis. That means we should not be moving forward nominees or legislation in the Senate. Ds should not be giving votes to nominee or legislation in the Senate until Rs get serious about this crisis"

Donald Trump signing an executive order preventing LGBTQ+ children from playing sports is beyond cruel. It does nothing to protect kids and will lead to more youth killing themselves.

He just signed the kill more children bill

I’m in Oversight Committee right now. Ranking Member Connolly just called for a vote to subpoena Elon Musk. Republicans out-number us on this committee, but many aren’t in the room. We’ll see who wins this vote. We deserve transparency and answers.

Mary Wallace smiles as she looks out of a window from the driver's seat of a CTA bus.

In 1974, Mary Wallace made history as the first woman to drive a CTA bus.
