Texas in 2025.

As a former Texas State Rep, let me be clear: LOCKING Rep. Nicole Collier inside the chamber is beyond outrageous.

Forcing elected officials to sign “permission slips” & take police escorts to leave? That’s not procedure. That’s some old Jim Crow playbook.

This is not a coding error.

The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe.

Will we listen to his words today?

Rep. @aoc.bsky.social on ny1 : “People are going to get sick and go hungry… They’re giving people crumbs and taking away the whole loaf… One of the saddest days in 🇺🇸 history.”

Every damn word🔥

“How is it that you can explain that we still are running up the credit card and we have nothing to show for it except for the fact that we won’t have food on the table? And we won’t have healthcare.” - @repjasmine.bsky.social

A corrupt system is when you need 60 Senate votes to protect voting rights, universal healthcare, reproductive rights, climate justice, lgbtq rights, immigration justice, and a living wage—but only 51 votes to strip them all away. #BigScamBill

YouTube video by PoliticsGirl Is Your Heath Insurance Getting Cut?!

Why don’t more people care Medicaid will be cut? Maybe because they don’t know they’re on it…

“With fear for our democracy, I dissent.”

“In sadness, I dissent.”

“With deep disillusionment, I dissent.”

What’s next?

Spot on. This is the clearest explanation I’ve seen. It ‘s relatable, and humanizes the issue in a way everyone can understand.

Iwo Jima. We bombed the hell out of Mt.Suribachi for days. The dead Marines on the beach showed how ineffective it was.

They’re lying about Medicaid cuts.

They’re lying about the deficit increase.

They’re lying about what they accomplished in Iran.

They lie about everything.

It is just a nonstop torrent of lies intended to flood the zone with propaganda.

They’re planning on building a detention center for migrants in the middle of the fetid swamps of Florida.

If you think this is something new, the first internment camp they sent me and my family to in 1942 was a barbed wire prison called Rohwer. It was located in the swamps of Arkansas.

Good morning, Bluesky!!

Today, I share a video. It is unfortunately not a funny video.

It is, however, a video of a great injustice being served to our brave women and men who serve in our armed forces.

Allowing tech bros to become LT. Colonels in our military with zero experience.

We need to start pushing back—legally

If they’re masked, unmarked, and flashing Amazon gear, report it for what it is: an attempted kidnapping by law enforcement impersonators.

🎥 Record.
📍 Share location.
📞 Call the police.

“ICE vest” is not an ID.

They were supposed to be deporting “gang members” and “criminals.”

So far, they have kidnapped people working their day jobs and folks lawfully showing up for their immigration court appearances…

It was always a lie.

Yikes.

As U.S. braces for Iranian attack, a 'brain drain' weakens its defenses, former officials say Resignations have reduced the capacity of DOJ and FBI units that could help thwart an Iranian attack, former officials say. Trump administration officials say the units remain strong.

Staff levels in the DOJ National Security Division have dropped by as much as two-thirds. Its counterintelligence and export control section — which tracks foreign espionage in the U.S. by Iran and other foreign rivals — has lost about a third of its workforce.

No money for Medicaid or SNAP or museums or schools or sidewalks or gun violence prevention or art or libraries.

Always money for war.

AOC is spot on, as always.

Sorry, but I’m all out of sympathy. Farmers who supported Trump should have known exactly what they’d be getting. After all, pretty much his entire campaign was based on his vitriolic hatred of undocumented workers, coupled with his idiotic tariff policy.

You reap what you sow, guys.

Much as I would not dare to predict the consequences of this war, I do think we can summarize it thusly so far:

A smart and evil man manipulated a stupid and evil man into a war against a fanatical and evil regime.

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers.

Reminder that Congress has the power to stop all of this. Where the hell are they? Hello?
