I am a proud supporter of my senator, @chrismurphyct.bsky.social but he is NOT talking ENOUGH about the abhorrent, disgraceful, unlawful ICE raids. Every day, thugs cosplaying cops & military are terrorizing ppl in the US, terrorizing families, innocent civilians, & causing irreparable harm.

My 6yo saw the headline on my phone this morning and started yelling, "WHY IS HE GOING TO END PBS?! PBS KIDS EDUCATES KIDS?! WHY IS HE A MONSTER?!" I read to his class earlier this week, EVERY kid knew animal facts thanks to Wild Kratts on PBS Kids. Not every parent can afford cable/services

My friend Mami made my day today. She had no idea I have been wanting one of these. The joy this gift brings me 🥰 I miss Tokyo so much.

Thanks, friend!

Democrat orgs asking for money every minute of the day, but haven't proven effective or have a coherent plan. Pretty unmotivated to give w/o a strategy.

The woman in the background is all of America.

North Haven man killed in Vermont car crash remembered as 'incredibly kind' and giving volunteer Friends and neighbors of Taylor Binnington, who died in a car crash in Vermont over the weekend, said he was 'incredibly kind' and giving.

We are grieving a devastating loss. Taylor was one of the best people I know. Always inviting us to things & always on a bike w/ his 3yo son in tow. A true friend & advocate. Months of excited anticipation awaiting baby Parry’s arrival. I’m so glad I caught his laughs on camera our last hangout.

🤣

Apparently. You know. Gotta have principles when standing up to fascism. Carry a small sign.

If you don’t agree with CT Dem @jahimes.bsky.social vote to censure Al Green there is someone taking calls at the Stamford office. Other numbers going to voicemail.

Met with the community advisory board for the project I designed for better resource materials for medication-assisted treatment for opioid use disorder at the Yale emergency departments. Love the enthusiasm for adapt4change.org - next steps are to expand the resource list. #harmreduction

Oh yeah like that’s stopped USAID. They will do everything they can and deal with the legal issues later. They will dissolve the department by mass firings, and other actions that leave the department unable to function.

I'm proud you're my Senator but speeches aren't going to stop Elon and Trump. Now they're going to dismantle Dept of Education. What are Dems going to do? Holding up signs, making speeches, it's NOT enough. We need a plan of action by the Dems to stop the steal.

We live in unacceptable times.

Oh I meant too late in terms of the data they’ve gotten access to. A breech is a breech. Security clearance and procedures have been thrown aside. I have hope that legal action will at least slow this process but I’m not optimistic about stopping it either.

As someone who has worked in tech for 20 years & the daughter of a disaster planning exec at Dow Jones, I cannot believe this shit. I’m both obsessed + repulsed. It’s unfathomable and yet happening. It is a massive failure and should be on the news nonstop until it’s stopped. But it’s also too late

🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

Musk’s DOGE teen was fired by cybersecurity firm for leaking company secrets Edward Coristine, a 19-year-old member of Elon Musk’s squad was fired from an internship after he was accused of sharing information with a competitor.

“Edward Coristine, a 19-year-old member of Elon Musk’s squad that’s criss-crossing US government agencies, was fired from an internship after he was accused of sharing information with a competitor.”

Staffer with Elon Musk's DOGE amplified white supremacists online One of the people working with billionaire Elon Musk in his efforts to overhaul the U.S. government is a Berkeley-educated computer scientist who has boosted white supremacists and misogynists online.

In the only predictable news this week…

I would expect nothing less.

New Democratic bill targets Elon Musk Rep. Mark Pocan's ELON MUSK Act takes aim at the billionaire's federal contracts.

"Rep. Mark Pocan (D-Wis.) on Wednesday rolled out the Eliminate Looting of Our Nation by Mitigating Unethical State Kleptocracy (ELON MUSK) Act, which would ban 'special' government employees like Musk from having federal contracts."

People just couldn’t decide! Despite being VP for 4 years they “just didn’t know enough about her”. Or whatever excuse they had for their ignorance and apathy. Now we have a horse loose in a hospital… again.

🤣

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"

I have news for you - we aren’t taking over Gaza.

But the media and the chattering class will focus on it for a few days and Trump will have succeeded in distracting everyone from the real story - the billionaires seizing government to steal from regular people.

It’s absolutely insane.

Elon Musk and DOGE are hacking the government Elon Musk has moved with lightning speed to try to remake the federal government. Many Democrats and even some Republicans say his efforts are unlawful.

I'm posting a lot about this, but the threat to American security is huge. DOGE is working with no oversight, no security clearances, no specific goals, breaking decades of security protocol - and what is stopping Musk from selling US data and preventing the data from leaking to foreign interests?

Agreed!!

YouTube video by Democracy Now! Is Elon Musk Staging a Coup? Unelected Billionaire Seizes Control at Treasury Dept. & Other Agencies

I feel a mix of validated and ramped up fear that I’m not alone in worrying that Musk is possibly staging a coup.
