Make way for the equipment trucks arriving in Nashville for #thebandghost.

I can’t wait for the post about Monstrance Clock.

My current problem is singing “Hot Pockets” instead of Love Rockets.

He needs a Bluesky account - this community would be more appreciative of his social mischief!

Hi, BlueSky. It's Hillary.

I've joined up here to help get the word out about an important election in Wisconsin tomorrow, and other ways to defend our democracy against those who think votes can be bought.

Yes, but I’m holding out hope that it is the intro to Guiding Lights.

Senator Schumer has served our nation well, but it's time for a new generation of leadership in the U.S. Senate. He is up for re-election in 2028.

REPOST if you would support AOC for the U.S. Senate in 2028!

CALLS ARE WORKING - it has bought us precious time, but we NEED to keep the pressure up.

Tomorrow is the cloture vote.

KEEP CALLING: (202) 224-3121 ☎️☎️☎️

Tell your Dem Senator to vote NO on Cloture and NO on the Republican spending bill.

Do NOT assume your Senator will be good on this. Trust me.

Performative votes are for sleazeballs like McConnell. No on cloture or you are no different.

SCOOP: Emails Show Mahmoud Khalil Asked Columbia for Protection a Day Before He Was Detained "I haven’t been able to sleep, fearing that ICE or a dangerous individual might come to my home. I urge you to intervene and provide the necessary protections to prevent further harm."

SCOOP—Emails obtained by Prem Thakker and Zeteo show Mahmoud Khalil reached out for help from the Columbia administration *one day before* ICE detained him.

He said he couldn't sleep from threats he was receiving.
He even wrote he feared ICE "might come to my home."

🚨 EMERGENCY PRESS CONFERENCE

Columbia/Barnard faculty, Jewish community leaders, immigrant advocates, and rabbis are demanding the immediate release of Mahmoud Khalil from ICE custody.

We will not be silent or cower in the face of American Fascism. #FreeMahmoud

So It Begins: The Disappearing of Mahmoud Khalil and Authoritarian Capture The Trump Administration kidnapped a legal permanent resident and shuffled him through an authoritarian maze. We're witnessing the beginnings of something terrifying

The disappearing of Mahmoud Khalil, a person with permanent legal status in the US, should be a red line that everyone should recognize.

They knocked on his door and vanished him into an authoritarian system without a trace.

Your door could be next.

AOC Rips “Tyrannical and Un-American” Arrest of Mahmoud Khalil Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez had a serious warning about the ICE arrest of Palestinian activist (and U.S. green card holder) Mahmoud Khalil.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortex condemned ICE’s detainment of Mahmoud Khalil, calling it a “tyrannical” move.

“If the federal government can disappear a legal US permanent resident without reason or warrant, then they can disappear US citizens too."

I think he was looking for “sire”.

I’m pretty sure he meant to say “sire to”.

We can start our primary list with these clowns.

Al Green is one of the most honest people in the House. The real crime here is that they all didn't stand up with him. Every last Dem in attendance.

And walk out together.

"What were seeing and what we're feeling is their death rattle - and they're trying to trick us into believing as long as they are alive we are alive - and if they die everybody else dies." - Tobias Forge

That interview really hit me but GOD that gives me some hope to press on for better.

The rot in DC has escaped containment.

This seems to trigger the MAGAts, so, yea, their monthly reminder of what THEY did.

Rather than violate their oath or comply with Musk’s illegal requests, 21 civil service employees resigned today from Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (formerly the United States Digital Service), stating they would not use their technical expertise to dismantle critical public services.

I don't think the Dems can stop the firings. But why aren't they proposing legislation that assures those that took the buyout get paid , and that all that are fired, get at least a year severance and health benefits? And any one with a health condition is covered the entire time they are sick?

Hi Bluesky! Glad to be here.

Oops 😬

Why should he care about the sales of toaster trucks when he has a back door into the US Treasury?

The biggest lesson the US is going to have to learn is that nobody is coming to help, this is a lesson every country in the world has learned. This is your fight. Every country you know will continue to make deals with Trump, unless you put up mass resistance and show the world you do not consent.
