I’ve been in or around politics for over a half-century now.

I’ve watched as corporations and the super-rich flooded D.C. with campaign cash and ransacked our system.

It won't be easy, but here’s how we break the corporate oligarchy and return power to the people.

Mass layoffs & product shortages are predicted to be coming soon to the US as the consequences of Trump's tariff policies begin to hit, layoffs likely to start in late June and continue until Trump is removed. Interest rates also expected to hike alongside an expected recession. #3E

Texas bill could punish bookstores for 'obscene' books A new bill in the Texas Legislature, authored by Rep. Nate Schatzline, would allow businesses to be held liable if a minor reports damages from "obscene" books.

It was never just about schools, it was never just about libraries, and it isn't actually about the books.

It's about finding a way to banish entire people, entire ideas, out of society, back into the closet or worse.

Since RFK in his wisdom canceled COVID boosters, pls stock up on N95 masks as soon as you can! Most PPE is made in China and tariffs are going to make regular shipments of masks irregular and prices will skyrocket as demand increases. Plan now for the inside weather & gatherings of fall& winter.

This is happening. Right now.

I know jk Rowling is awful BUT this gives big "flood the dursley house with letters so they can't ignore it" energy and I'm a big fan

1/5 Watched @hcrichardson.bsky.social & Sen. Angus King today. Sen. King spoke of writing your Reps. & Sen. How important it is, it does make a difference. Then saw this. A lot of screen shots but a good idea. Stick to issues effecting you or those you know. Be Specific.

⏰ it has only been 10 years, @marshablackburn.bsky.social will probably get around to it eventually

I posted something about this a few weeks ago. I know he’d find away to take away the right to vote from expats. That ugly soulless convicted felon monster buffoon needs to go. We can’t wait 4 years.

Trump signs executive order that will upend US voter registration processes Millions of citizens could become disenfranchised in ‘farthest reaching’ executive action targeting immigration

Nothing says you know you can’t win fairly like making it harder to vote. Especially when what you’re trying is patently illegal. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Wish the people who voted red all along the northern border, all of whom are about to experience massive upheaval due this, had thought about this before. 🙄🙄

Maine loses popular Sea Grant funding, 1 week after Mills' public confrontation at the White House There is no indication that any of the other 33 Sea Grant programs around the country are facing funding cuts — at least for now — similar to Maine's.

So many of us already can't afford to get by. I wish people understood that this unnecessary tariff war has nothing but negative impacts on any average American citizen.

I can't blame them for retaliating. I only hope that people realize it is no one but MAGA causing their suffering.

The blackout doesn’t have to end today. Commit to spending your dollars locally so they stay out of the hands of mega corporations and billionaires. Follow our boycott guide and continue to support micro economies in your local town or city.

Pingree, King criticize Trump after heated meeting with Ukraine's Zelenskyy Sen. Susan Collins steered clear of criticizing any one party in the meeting, which have clouded hopes for ending Ukraine's war with Russia.

A historian's duty? "To tell the truth about the past as best he (she) can--and let the chips fall where they may."

That press conference was the most disgraceful act of betrayal I’ve ever seen.

Could not agree more. The Prez & VP are shameful, embarrassing Putin puppets & a disgrace to our country. 🤮

And to think we could have had a sane, serious government run by an intelligent person who would have acted in the best interests of Americans, and not Vladimir Putin.

Vote NO on the SAVE Act! The SAVE Act is a trick to undermine our voting rights. Urge Congress to vote no on the SAVE ACT.

Have you heard? There’s a new bill that makes it harder for millions of eligible Americans to vote. Join me and @standupamerica.bsky.social in urging Congress to vote NO on the SAVE Act: act.standupamerica.com/letters/no-o...

Congratulations to rightwing anti-vax forces: you've reintroduced a deadly, vaccine preventable disease back into American society.

This is absolutely batshit crazy. It's infuriating... Weather information is SO important. NOAA weather warnings are life saving, from North Carolina to California to New Jersey to Florida, etc.

Trump just pulled back a plan to regulate toxic, cancer-causing PFAS. It’s in hundreds of water systems in North Carolina. PFAS, or “forever chemicals," are linked to cancer, birth abnormalities, and other health ailments. But Trump is pushing back a long-awaited plan to set federal limits on them.

Wherever you live in North Carolina, Trump’s action matters. Hundreds of water systems in the state were found to have elevated levels of PFAS in 2024. It’s estimated that nearly half of the nation’s tap water has PFAS in it.
