every person involved in this needs to be in prison

You know, I'm just a lowly tech comms flack, but there seems to be one faction of Dems being screamed at/in hiding, and one faction pulling crowds like this. Maybe the latter should be in charge?

Billionaire Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick: “Let’s say Social Security didn’t send out their checks this month. My mother, who’s 94, wouldn’t call and complain,” he said. “Whoever screams is the one stealing.”

Thanks for sharing your story, Rebecca. Protecting folks with pre-existing conditions – like your son – was important to us. And it’s why we have to continue working hard to protect and build on the foundation of the ACA, too.

The whole point is not just the state disappearing whoever they want, it's you being in the habit of accepting the state choosing whom to disappear, without question. It's submission to the state. Same as with Gitmo after 9/11. The state's judgment must not be questioned.

Presented with evidence that innocent people who are not members of any gang were wrongly deported to a slave prison in El Salvador, Homan flatly insists that all of them were in fact gang members (but he's unwilling to detail any evidence showing it)

We expected 2,000 people out in GOP-held Greeley, Colorado.

11,000 people showed up.

Something special is happening, folks. Now is the time to organize in every dimension possible and get to work.

What DOGE is getting wrong about privatizing USPS "There's nothing like getting a letter in the mail -- a real letter from somebody that you love."

“The Postal Service is American. It’s a public good. It’s not here to make a profit and we all depend on it.”

AOC: What they like to call as radical, I believe is common sense.

I believe that when a person gets sick, they shouldn’t go bankrupt in the wealthiest country in the history of the world. Common sense

I believe that a minimum wage should cover the minimum cost to live. Common sense...

AOC: One thing I love about Arizonans is that you all have shown that if a US Senator isn’t fighting hard enough for you, you’re not afraid to replace her with one who will.

Walz: "I think we have to assume the very worst in everything this administration does, and we need to prepare for it."

Weak won't win THE REFORMERS We ARE the Democratic Party Graphic by @roguecitizenone.bsky.social

Those who think @schumer.senate.gov did the right thing last week need to explain why he failed to persuade 37 Senate colleagues to join him and why he failed to communicate his thinking to House Dems.

You caved.. no fight

They claim they can snatch people up, put them on planes, and deport them to a country run by an authoritarian, where those people will be forced to work slave labor at an inhumane prison. All without due process, and in defiance of federal courts.

The hypotheticals are over. This is the nightmare.

Why Libraries Will Save The World (If We Let Them) | Penguin Random House Eric Klinenberg wrote the book on the importance of shared community spaces. He makes a case for libraries as the heart of our communities.

On this very topic, I highly recommend reading sociologist Eric Klinenberg's book _Palaces for the People_, in which he "makes a case for libraries as the heart of our communities."

This is horrible. It’s an Australian mining corporation and as usual the company and pro mining politicians are lying about the risks and impacts. Alaskans need to oppose this.

More of this, please. A LOT more of this, please.

Trump Administration Aims to Eliminate E.P.A.’s Scientific Research Arm More than 1,000 chemists, biologists and other scientists could be laid off under a plan to dismantle the Office of Research and Development.

Breaking News: The EPA plans to eliminate its scientific research arm, firing as many as 1,155 chemists, biologists, toxicologists and other scientists.

Call me woke, but I believe transgender people are more worthy of defense than a Nazi's cars.

We just wanted to take a moment to thank all our new supporters! Tomorrow, there will be more of us!

Here are some nice mushrooms

I found a ‘dead’ person collecting Social Security in Seattle “Dead” Ned Johnson turns out to be very much alive. It took him weeks to convince the system he was breathing and to start clawing his benefits back.

The richest man in the world took over $5K out of this guy's bank account, claiming he was dead. The richest man in the world said he was saving money.

He was not dead.

NYT: “The White House did not comment on why the group had altered the contracts data or why it’s now harder for the public to scrutinize it.”

The *savings* have been changed and altered — and are nowhere near what @MarshaBlackburn claims they are.
