@maddow.msnbc.com Rachel, my Senators @fetterman.senate.gov and @davemccormick.bsky.social were supposed to do an event in Pittsburgh tomorrow, but they CANCELED!! 😠 Add them to the list of cowards! And thank you for your work, love your show.

I continue to be so disappointed by Schumer, Fetterman, and the other Dems who allowed this insult of a CR to go through. Thank you @summerlee.bsky.social for opposing it.

The arts are so vital!! Grateful for representatives like you who understand this, Congresswoman McBride. 🙂

Empowering underserved communities through arts education isn’t just the Christina Cultural Arts Center’s mission – it’s their purpose.

My thanks to the CCAC for showing me their impactful work firsthand right here in Wilmington today.

Western Pa. fair housing organization loses $425,000 grant in DOGE cuts The Fair Housing Law Center covers more than 30 counties in Western Pennsylvania and four in West Virginia.

I hope Western PA and nearby West Virginia MAGA folks understand that their vote is responsible for the unjust burden that our neighbors of the region will now face. @fetterman.senate.gov @davemccormick.bsky.social

my brain: message received.

me: okay good night.

my brain: [wide awake at 5:30] did I do it

This Sunday, the whole country needs to spring forward from 1939.

Trump just straight-out claiming that trans people don't legitimately exist. Says he wants a bill "criminalizing sex changes on children and forever ending the lie that any child is trapped in their own body. This is a big lie."

#JustinTrudeau today asked if the American people are OK with the @donaldjtrump-maga.bsky.social’s tariffs and their economic/geopolitical ramifications. I am vehemently opposed, bracing myself for the damage that this trade war is already causing. And, I let my electeds know. @fetterman.senate.gov

Find Your Legislator

PA Residents: Please call your state rep. and oppose Robert Leadbeter’s plans to introduce a bill that makes it a third degree felony to allow a minor to attend anything with a drag queen. He is trying to erase queer people by hindering pride festivals, library drag story-hours, and more.

German Chancellor Rebukes Vance for Supporting Party That Downplays Nazis At the Munich Security Conference, Olaf Scholz accused the U.S. vice president of unacceptable interference in Germany’s coming elections.

Can you imagine going back in time, like, 80 years and reading this outloud to someone?

To America’s 2.3 million federal employees:

Don’t accept a buyout.

Neither Musk nor even Trump has the legal authority to make such an offer.

And even if they did, would you trust them to follow through on it?

There definitely is hometown classical radio nostalgia for us band/orchestra geeks. WFMT for me. ❤️

Trying to call @fetterman.senate.gov ‘s office, but I keep getting immediately disconnected. If there is a chance tagging his office in this post will help me reach a human, or at least an answering machine, thought I’d try.

‘Terrifying’ poll reveals Musk effect pushing far-right closer to power in Germany Exclusive: New polling from Germany appears to suggest the intervention by the world’s richest man could have a significant impact on the forthcoming election

Can this get more attention, please? Sure, The Independent is decidedly left, but I would hope being anti-Nazi is a universal thing…

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

#DEI does not cause plane crashes.

Accusing #DEI of causing plane crashes causes the spread of fear and hate against people who are already going through enough.
