It’s still hard to grasp that there aren’t 4 GOP Reps (who will otherwise be forgotten forever after retiring & likely defeated next year anyway) aren’t interested in going down in history as all-time 🇺🇸 heroes by caucusing with the Dems & giving them the majority to impeach Trump & save the Republic

People riding on bicycles and scooters on the sidewalk are a danger.

In most locations it is illegal and I cannot tell you the number of close calls I and several friends have had.

Donald Trump and Elon Musk killed those children in Texas.

Few things I love more than watching these walking tour videos of Iran.

In this case, Tehran.

I miss Iran so much.

J@johnm950. 3h ago (edited) Navy vet here. Army phoned it in, by design. No dress uniforms, out of step while marching, not caring at all. Upset they have to do this on a Saturday and I don't blame them. My Army brothers and sisters deserve better than this and trust me if the Army wants to look sharp, they absolutely can. It was definitely a message. Well done Army! 4.1K

Coordinated DNGAF, it seems:

Yesterday, millions of us reasserted the “We” in "We the people."

We gained strength from our solidarity. We celebrated our numbers and our power.

We will be steadfast. We will not cower to a dictator.

We will win.

Keep protesting. Keep going, everyone.

Are the people who are there not even like “woo!”-ing? I would have expected “woo!”-ing.

ICE is now removing undocumented foster children from their foster homes for deportation!

For those of you who are supporting this, there will be a reckoning for this … and for those of you who are sitting silently by while these atrocities are unfolding before our eyes, there will be a reckoning!

These protest crowds are *insane*

Massive turnout in both blue and red states

2,169 events across 20 countries. Millions of peope are standing up tomorrow to say with one voice: No Kings!

Here is a look at the "riots" in LA.....

"Who's got the power?

People Power."

Peaceful.

No National Guard or Marines needed.

White House threatens to veto Senate measure nixing Trump’s global tariffs The Senate is expected to force a vote this week on the resolution.

We’re expecting a Senate vote later this week on a bipartisan resolution that could block Trump’s tariffs. Tell your senators to draw the line on executive overreach and end Trump’s bogus emergency.

Thousands of people rallied at hundreds of events across the U.S. on Saturday to protest the Trump administration’s handling of immigration, civil liberties, federal job cuts and other issues. nyti.ms/3EyqNkh

What the hell are you doing @schumer.senate.gov?

I’m afraid this is correct. bsky.app/profile/grav...

Trump’s own voters are turning on him.

Today, I am calling on Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and other top officials in the Trump administration to resign immediately due to their reckless and unlawful disclosure of national security secrets. Their actions have put our country at risk, and immediate accountability is necessary

Warnock: They are busy attacking ordinary people. They don’t understand what it’s like to ration your prescription drugs or what it’s like to try to figure out how to afford groceries. In the words of that prophet who just spoke at The Super Bowl: They not like us

Fox News poll shows the majority (58%) disapprove of Elon Musk’s job performance working with DOGE.

Only 78% of Republicans approve while 70% of independents and 93% of Democrats disapprove.

THIS IS HOW YOU DO IT.

My Senator, @wyden.senate.gov.

Can Democrats Step Up Their Media Game? Time to join the 21st Century.

Welcome!

On Organizing time to level up / an early draft of a playbook

Over 50% of nonviolent movements to overthrow governments are successful within one year of their peak.

The key is to engage over 3.5% of the country, a cross-section of society—clergy, kids, grandmas, teachers) using DIVERSE & CREATIVE tactics, with women in leadership.

We can do this.

HAPPENING NOW: members of Get Free are blocking traffic in front of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), the main agency where the Trump Administration and its billionaire backers like Elon Musk have been spearheading efforts to implement MAGA’s Project 2025 agenda.

Some government websites have gone dark.

Climate change is being removed from government sites.

Nonpolitical workers are being fired from government jobs.

Americans are being cut off from information.

This is what authoritarianism looks like.

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone here at Bluesky for the follows and the conversations and the constructive, substantive interaction. It's a great forum, a great resource for circulating and talking about the news, and -- most of all -- a pleasure. I'm grateful!
