@petebuttigieg.bsky.social @sanders.senate.gov @aoc.bsky.social @vanhollen.senate.gov we appreciate your voices and actions thus far, but I think she's right it's not enough to save our democracy
The Trump Admin wants to undo mercury protections—and their big plan? Let polluters off the hook with an email. These plants are mostly near Black, brown & low-income communities. We know who pays the price. Our health is NOT up for negotiation.

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.
This is really important. Without fair elections, the midterms mean nothing.
We're on that precipice. This is Schrödinger's coup.
He is both succeeding & failing. Every guardrail is being tested.
The fact is, a few batshit crazy bros cannot, themselves, break democracy.
They need complicity. So this is OUR time to disrupt, derail, & disturb the necessary complicity.
Trump wants to fire 83k VA workers, many of whom are veterans themselves, decimating the VA & making it harder for veterans to get health care & benefits.
When Americans put their lives on the line to defend our country, we must keep our commitments to them — not betray them.
We are experiencing an assault on science unparalleled by anything I’ve seen in my life. It’s not one issue or another anymore, the entire institution is under attack by the most powerful individuals in the country.
This Friday, where will you be?

DOGE is slashing VA staff, cutting suicide prevention programs, delaying Veterans’ healthcare, and firing those who served (Fun Fact: 30% of Federal Employees are vets!).
They call it "efficiency." I'd call it betrayal.
#DOGEscrewsVeterans
The House Republican bill could cut as much as $880 billion from Medicaid alone.
That puts 80 MILLION Americans—kids, veterans, people with disabilities, rural Americans, the elderly—at risk.
Democrats are standing up for the American people.
Never in our history has the US voted w/ Dictatorships at the expense of our Democratic allies—that is until today. Trump has not only just ruined US credibility as a global leader, but set back the global fight for democratic values and peace.
His concern about roadblocks makes me think he is in fact planning to do something questionable or illegal
Utah Republican Senator John Curtis claps back at Elon and DOGE:
"If I could say one thing to Elon Musk it's please put a dose of compassion in this. These are real lives. These are mortgages. It's a false narrative to say we have to cut and be cruel to do it."
MORE republicans should stand up!
Is Donald Trump going to respond to Musk’s email and report on what he did last week?
To help, I’ve gone ahead and done it for him. A thread:
DOGE’s accounting of its “savings” is riddled with sloppy mistakes. The five largest cuts that it listed on its website earlier this week were all incorrect — making the savings look far larger than they were in reality.
It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office.
Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc.
Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.
MAGA has a bill that would disenfranchise someone you know. The SAVE Act is the GOP’s attempt at mass voter suppression disguised as an election integrity bill: indivisibleteam.medium.com/maga-has-a-b...
Because we need something positive in our lives...
Today marks 83 years since Executive Order 9066 incarcerated over 120,000 Japanese Americans, including my family.
#DayOfRemembrance is a reminder that we can't be complacent. The Trump Admin is creating a culture of fear & hysteria. That is why the Japanese American story must be told & retold.
Ok that made me laugh
www.theguardian.com/media/2025/f... and there we have the first reference to an axis. Remind you of anything?
President Musk and Kennedy Center chairman Trump have decided that you don't deserve to feel safe when you fly.
It’s about having red hair and freckles FFS and how to be cool with that when other kids make fun of it. By that twisted logic, you’d have to ban pretty much every children’s book, old and new www.cnn.com/2025/02/17/e...
Airlines should be shouting bloody murder. The Republican administration is making flying more dangerous and that's bad for business no matter which way you slice it. Needless to say it's also negligent.
There is absolutely no reason that anybody should need access to this data
As a veteran, I'm appalled. FOTUS and swasticar boy have done nothing in service of this country, but rather are bleeding it dry. Shame on them.
Did you know wolves are absolutely essential for a healthy ecosystem?
When wolves were reintroduced to Yellowstone the entire system reacted. Small animals became more abundant. Birds began breading more. Rivers changed, small carnivore populations increased.

We know it’s tempting to give into cynicism or despair right now. So let us tell you what keeps us going: We are in daily communication with Members of Congress and senior staff who want to see a unified opposition as well. They are fighting on the inside to build that opposition. 🧵
I watched this video this morning and it really has been instructive for understanding, well, a lot of behavior.
