Been saying this for a while: one of the greatest arguments we can forward rn is that our quality of life is immeasurably better when we’re in harmony w drag queens, immigrants, anyone w a uterus, etc. A public party displaying the joy that comes w solidarity is vital to our collective well being.

Blocking Nazis, trolls, and fascists doesn’t make it an “echo chamber.” People need to stop gaslighting us into thinking we have to listen to Nazis and debate trolls in order to be informed.

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.

STOP FUCKING CALLING IT "AN ELON MUSK SALUTE"!
ITS A FUCKING NAZI SALUTE AND THEY KNOW IT, YOU KNOW IT AND WE SURE AS FUCK KNOW IT.
THEY'RE FUCKING NAZIS.

by freezing all federal grants, trump is fundamentally transforming the relationship between the executive and congress. he is asserting dictatorial authority over federal spending, transforming congress's lawmaking powers into advisory authority. it is a constitutional crisis

I see some suggestions, in the reporting regarding the OMB impoundment order, that a mere delay in spending appropriated funds is legal. But that's not really true. The delay OMB has ordered specifically contradicts the Impoundment Control Act. A thread.

ATTN: VA EMPLOYEES. I would recommend against using the Office of Accountability & Whistleblower Protection. In 2019, the VA Inspector General found that Trump used OAWP to TARGET whistleblowers. Contact democrats on congressional veterans affairs committees instead.

If you're a federal worker and you want to blow the whistle and share emails or memos from the new administration, my DMs are open and I'll keep you anonymous.

To everyone fleeing Facebook and Instagram,

Hi, it’s a me, God! Welcome to Bluesky! 👋

🎶 Blue days, all of them gone
Nothing but blue skies from now on
Blue skies smiling at me
Nothing but blue skies do I see 🎶

I get a lot of messages about sick dogs and I can barely get to 20% of them.

Sometimes though you get a message where you have to drop everything.

I woke up this morning to one. I don’t know how she is still alive but she has a chance now (1/8) 🧵

THIS!

Biden just commuted nearly 1,500 sentences—the largest grant of clemency by a president in a single day ever. He’s also the first to pardon those convicted of simple marijuana possession and former service members convicted of violating the military’s former laws against homosexual conduct.

Day 14 of nationwide non-stop protests in Georgia.

Thousands of public sector employees, risking their jobs, organized a massive march in defense of the constitution, declaring their loyalty to the nation, not a political party that serves Russia and oligarchs. #georgiaprotests
