Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia have reaffirmed their commitment to coordinated action by signing a new pact to advance housing, clean energy, and innovation together. Cascadians continue building the institutions of shared governance that our future demands.

Wait a minute... if this president can ignore courts and existing laws, why can't we the people, the states, the secretaries of state simply ignore him?

So he cancels the mid-terms, we simply carry on with the mid-terms. We conduct national business as usual. Why not?

Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?

Nobody wants anything to happen to Dolly. But yeah, the absurdity is a match. I still remember when I thought the Stormy Daniels story was going to save us.

This lawsuit is asking to be a vehicle for overturning NYT v. Sullivan (which established the actual malice we know and love for public figures).

It is a request to overturn longstanding precedent that allows us to criticize our politicians and remove our free speech.

The fight against President Musk (and Kennedy Center chairman Trump) is just starting. We’re mobilizing to show the strength of our movement. Together, we have the power to stop MAGA’s takeover. app.sosha.ai/s/ig5b3SMD

When AOC and Adam Kinzinger are both furious at Chuck Schumer, for the exact same reason, maybe you need to give up the idea this is just a backlash coming from far left activists.

Not for nothing but everyone realizes that these teenagers and 20 somethings who have complete access to the Treasury payment source code are now #1 espionage recruitment targets for Russia and China, right?

Any four Republican Senators could stop this at any time simply by threatening to block all action (or even caucus with the Democrats) if Trump doesn't make certain concessions.

They won't, but that should be a much bigger story than whether the Democrats are doing everything that *they* can.

Obviously if people are busy working themselves to death serving burgers and fries, they're too tired to fight for democracy.

The past several days have proven without a shadow of a doubt that Project 2025 is real and underway.

And those who warned America about it were right.

Elon Musk's and X's Role in 2024 Election Interference The confessions of a concerned bird.

"One of the most disturbing things we did was create thousands of fake accounts using advanced AI systems[...] Perhaps the most unethical part was how we manufactured news stories. [...] We specifically targeted certain groups of people, knowing exactly how to manipulate their views and emotions." 🫤

Big congratulations to Republicans on their first big victory of the Trump era: empowering President Musk to strip funding for childhood cancer research out of the budget.
