@genefortexas.bsky.social: "We're buying time for Texans to wake up... To not only deal with TX but deal w/ this in every other state. If ppl who lie, cheat, and steal are allowed to win the day, that is the end of our country... Get off your ass! This is our last shot at saving the American dream."

@govpritzker.illinois.gov: "I led the effort to build the IL Holocaust Museum. What I know is that in 53 days, Nazis tore down the constitutional republic in Germany in the 1930s. It doesn't take much. We're seeing pieces of that sort of authoritarian activity happening right now in this country."

So let me get this straight. The FBI is out here being used to track down elected officials who stood up for democracy, not terrorists, not human traffickers, not the people plotting violence online.

Gerrymandering is really bad for representative democracy. Voters should choose politicians, not the other way around. Gerrymanders mean less choice, less representation, less accountability for politicians – and more polarization. 1/6

This is fascism and a step towards the destruction of the Union.

I've gotta keep it classy in public!

Nobody knows I’m listening to K Pop Demon Hunters on repeat

This is what is happening right now.

This past week, the 79-year-old president announced he’s ended six wars (some that have been going on for centuries), asserted that windmills drive whales insane, called for Beyoncé to be prosecuted, claimed Obama committed treason and complained a convicted pedophile “stole” teenage girls from him.

"The man who is not yet mayor is to blame for a shooting that happened under the watch of an ex-cop mayor who's thrown every available dollar at the NYPD," insists sex pest

I'm an author, librarian and a K-12 educator as well.

Yes, we are "alienating" K-12 teachers who use AI tools because there is no ethical use of generative AI anywhere, let alone in the classroom.

Okay what are we doing here 😂 #PokemonTCGP

I’ve been doing this for the last few years and it has worked wonders for me! 1-2 migraines at most during the time it’s active, vs the 3-4 migraines a month when not doing it

When a network lays off one of America’s greatest satirists, it’s not because he failed. It’s because he succeeded too loudly.

Can’t even call the new I Know What You Did Last Summer booty cheeks, because I LIKE booty cheeks. 0/10, absolute dumpster fire of a movie.

Basically my second birthday of the year 😂😂👏🏻👏🏻

When you’re definitely not guilty.

“Secret police” are your words, not mine. Seems like you’ve been giving them a lot of thought.

Unlike NYPD, your agents don’t identify themselves & wear masks that cover their faces. Now they ignore judges’ rulings, too.

What law enforcement agents are supposed to uphold … is the rule of law.

The scene where the little boy is trashing the house is the most uncomfortable I’ve been watching a movie in a looooong time

I’m currently reading Vol 1 of The Murderbot Diaries, have about 50 pages left, and can’t put it down. Excellent writing 👌 and highly recommend starting there

We need more people to give a fuck. We need more people to care about the wellbeing of other people. You have to give a fuck all the time. You have to care about other people all the time. We do not have the luxury of selective solidarity. We have to fight this evil shit at all times on all fronts.

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy.

I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

I enjoyed Jurassic World: Rebirth for what it was, but I will never defend whoever decided to add the D-Rex to this movie 😭 I know it’s intentional, but that thing was an abomination to dinosaurs.

The thing about the Diddy verdict and the budget bill is that you can and should take both of them seriously. Powerful men getting away with violence isn’t a distraction from Trump and his administration. It’s the same thing powered by the same rhetoric and logic of abuse

Are we great yet?

the president just opened a concentration camp

If a sitting president can openly muse about arresting and disappearing someone who is likely to become mayor of the country's largest city, while also getting the funding for a massive secret police, it'd be hard to find sufficient evidence to qualify that country as a democracy.

Any Dem focusing on talking about tax cuts for the rich now instead of "President threatens to arrest Democratic Nominee for Mayor of NYC while celebrating opening of Florida Concentration Camp" is not paying attention and is not fighting for you and your safety.

Trump visits Florida for tour of "Alligator Alcatraz" immigration detention center President Trump landed in South Florida Tuesday morning to visit a new immigration detention center that state officials are calling "Alligator Alcatraz."

A concentration camp is a prison or other facility used for the internment of political prisoners or politically targeted demographics, such as members of national or ethnic minority groups, on the grounds of national security, or for exploitation or punishment [Source:Wikipedia]

We now have a concentration camp in Florida.

Stop pretending any of this is normal.

If you claim to be a good person and you're not outwardly opposing this regime, you're not a good person.

Be human.
