It’s Advocacy Day in Sacramento! I'm at the capitol with HUNDREDS of other @momsdemand and @studentsdemand survivors & volunteers advocating for survivors and gun safety in California #CALeg #AB15 #AB1127 #CalVIP @staceyrmoseley.bsky.social

On her show just now, Rachel Maddow said of Joy Reid's show being cancelled: "I think it is a bad mistake to let her walk out the door." She adds it is "unnerving" to see the network's decision to cancel shows hosted by nonwhite anchors: "That feels indefensible."

Dear Senator I am writing as a constituent, former FAA air traffic controller (26 years) and current Airline Transport rated commercial pilot. On Friday, hundreds of FAA technicians and engineers were terminated. These technicians and engineers maintain every piece of equipment that keeps flying safe, from the radars to the ILS, to ATC automation. They were identified as "probationary" and there is a reasonable speculation that Al was used to "find" probationary employees, assuming that meant that they were new hires. That is not an accurate assumption. A newly hired federal employee is probationary and may be subject to at will termination, but the term "probationary" is also applied to promotions, to describe not that you are a probationary employee, but if the promotion or transfer is not successful, the employee would return to the pre-promotion position. That allows the government to retain needed expertise. However, even that is not the case in these positions as workers were indeed succeeding in their new roles.

Elon Musk's DOGE team of misfits have fired everybody at the Federal Aviation Administration ✈️ who is a probationary employee

Thinking they have got rid of all the new hires

It turns out many of these were experienced technicians, recently promoted and were on probation for their new senior role

LOVE IT! 🤩

Hi, I’m God.

I don’t care how you fight Nazis as long as you fight them.

TODAY: We’re expecting a House vote on the Laken Riley Act, a dangerous bill that would shred constitutional rights and let MAGA extremists gut legal immigration.

48 House Democrats recently voted for this bill, so we really need you to call your representative ASAP: indivisible.org/resource/tel...

Ah, going for the standard “tone” policing of a woman. How cliché.

It has truly been astonishing to see how petty, cruel, and just generally indecent people have been. It's really disheartening.

A cross stitch of convicted master felon and antagonist of Wallace and Gromit: Feathers McGraw. He is a plasticine penguin, wearing a red rubber glove as a cap to deceive people into thinking he is an innocent chicken when he is in fact a very evil and criminal penguin.

Woke up this morning with this guy on my mind and thought "I simply must cross stitch him" and so, hours later, here he is.

Dear Anthem: Please pay my Scripps healthcare providers what they should be paid so that I don’t have to spend the first quarter of next year replacing all our doctors. Then, let’s do away with private, for-profit insurance that degrades our care for money. Kthanksbye 👋

Greenland has universal healthcare, gender equality, and clean energy.

Can they take over the USA instead?

Congratulations to Mike Johnson for trying to pressure the House Ethics Committee into burying a report that found the then-nominee for attorney general had engaged in sexual activity with a minor.

Party of Family Values, am I right?

The thing about the damning House Ethics report on Matt Gaetz, in which he is credibly accused of statutory rape and sex trafficking, is that Speaker Johnson tried to bury the report and prevent the public from ever learning about it.

Don't assume maximalist outcomes for the Trump administration. That's a form of psychological surrender. We should attempt to exploit every stumble, failure, and misstep, and there will be stumbles, failures, and missteps.

Done with Twitter?

Help build our @bsky.app community by tagging three friends in this post who are passionate advocates for gun safety, or who want to become involved in our movement! We'll give you, and them, a follow!

Turning our schools into prisons is the dystopia the gun lobby wants. We shouldn’t have to live like that. Instead, we demand stronger gun laws and proactive school safety policies that will keep guns from getting to our campuses in the first place.

Happy Birthday Taylor Swift,,, we all love ya 🫶🏾

After I moved to Canada a couple of years ago I realized that I was no longer constantly running a massive stress routine in the background of my mind worrying about health care and guns. It was weirdly noticeable only when it stopped.

Congrats to Florida!

#1 in book censorship

#47 in SAT scores.

Way to go!

Try it with 2 monitors! 😅

Right, because that was the problem.

Healthcare should be free for all!

As Jesus intended.

This should read as dystopian as it is. This is NOT normal, and we can do something about it.

Trans folks held a dance party in the Capitol bathroom to protest the bathroom ban on there.
