A national data breach is happening as we speak. Presidents are banning trans people and straws with the same pen stroke. DEI is now, somehow, responsible for plane crashes. And AI twins? They exist.

So, in this nightmare, how are we supposed to act? Self-care, they say.

Excuse me, what?

AOC: “Oh, I don’t think we’re witnessing the START of an oligarchy. I think we are fully here.” 🇺🇸

AOC: Trans girls are girls. And for all the folks that are so concerned, thank you for your concern for women for the first time. I don't know who has been to gym class, I’ve played co-ed sports all the time

Had an awesome time chatting with Jon Stewart & @weeklyshowpodcast.bsky.social talking about how to fight the dumpster fire.

Gear up. It’s time to brawl.

I just heard from a nonprofit in Massachusetts that helps veterans with transitional housing.

Trump's shutdown of gov funding hurts their ability to buy and prepare food for 100+ veterans.

Rent is due in 5 days. The loss of funds could mean some veterans face eviction.

That's right - we should cut government waste.

But we're seeing Trump and Musk's plan in action: pausing federal funds that rip school lunch away from preschoolers and end Meals on Wheels for seniors. That's not efficiency, it's cruelty.

I have better ideas.

The Fear Driving Trump’s Second Term Pete Hegseth’s nomination relied on brute force for a reason.

I wrote last week about the performative menace of the Hegseth show, the macho jazz hands meant to convey threat. They wanted to scare anyone who might come forward with stories & keep Republicans, many of whom have no reason to want this guy as SecDef, from opposing him:

AOC: "I want folks at home to look at what members of Congress are invested in private prisons companies, and look at the votes on this bill. It is atrocious that people are lining their pockets with private prison profits in the name of a horrific tragedy."

Fight. Flee. Freeze. Fawn. The Grief of Yesterday

Wrote a something this morning.

I have and will continue to. But you know why I say it here ? Because @bsky.app is 30m strong and growing quickly. The collective wisdom and influence of users here is far greater than any individual democrat.

I can't say it enough. Bluesky can be the influence that can counter RW media.

Well double rainbow at Girls Just Wanna Have Fun weekend started it out right :). First timer- but great event

Every time you see a Democratic leader refuse to recognize racism as a decisive factor in the victories of Trump Republicans you are witnessing a Democratic leader open the door to the future victories of Trump Republicans. Denying and ignoring racism is a losing proposition for Democrats. 1/2
