He's brutally honest & 100% right. We need to create a real plan to counter the destruction wrought by Project 2025 with actions to take, Executive Orders to issue, and legislation to enact ON DAY ONE AFTER THE REMOVAL OF THE CURRENT OCCUPIER OF THE WHITE HOUSE!

@kaine.senate.gov , I appreciate your desire to help federal workers in your state. However, your vote will allow healthcare to be stripped from so many more of your constituents, especially those in the western and southwestern part of your state and across the nation. Please vote NO on cloture.

If you live outside a state/city & comment on what Dem in that state/city is acceptable to you - be circumspect. Dems, unlike the current GOP are rarely one-size-fits-all. Some areas will embrace a Socialist Dem, some a Centrist Dem. We actually ARE a big tent. And ANY Dem beats a Fascist.

@warren.senate.gov - can you please introduce legislation that gives people the right to their own body, facial features, and voice? And another which gives anyone whose work was used to train AI partial ownership of the resulting product.
These are such important protections for all citizens.

The GOP rigged the system to pack the SCOTUS. This is why. Destroying the guardrails for protecting American citizens from Corporate malfeasance, repealing the rights of all non-white, non-cis citizens, and installing Autocracy.
There it is.
Breaking: The Supreme Court is now officially considering taking up a case overturning same-sex marriage.
This is the first time in history the court has considered rolling back this right.

Dems!
We have primaries!
Champion and vote for the candidate you want without abandon! This is your moment to persuade enough people in your party who the best candidate and their platform will best serve your district or state is!
BUT IN THE GENERALS, VOTE THE FASCISTS/FASCIST ENABLERS OUT!

Please read this thread by the always thoughtful and insightful @okbjgm.bsky.social . He beautifully lays out some of the most glaringly inhuman dangers of LLMs, as well as the ENORMOUS environmental damages they cause.
a few years ago i sincerely believed it to be the duty of artists to take these tools and show the world how to use them humanely and respectfully. i don’t believe that any more. every time i have tried i have left the experience frustrated and angry…

Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece.
It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out.

So well said!
When the wealthy do not need the services of the government, they are more than happy to shut down, downsize, and render ineffective the services that they do not require. This furthers their belief in their self sufficiency and seeks to wrest citizens into thankful serfs, prostrating for crumbs.

This is horrifying. Another call to remove oversight and protections. Can't imagine why the GOP (and Hegseth in particular) would want to make it harder for racists and misogynists to be held to account and punished...

Hegseth: "We are overhauling an inspector general process that has been weaponized, putting complainers and poor performers in the driver seat. We are doing the same with the equal opportunity policies. No more frivolous complaints, no more anonymous complains ... no more walking on eggshells."

If you do one thing today, PLEASE watch this video from Threads by Charles McBryde. It defines Fascism and explains why Conservatives/The Right Wing are susceptible to the process of Fascism. And that's what it is - a process of political radicalization.

This is the playbook, folks.
If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away.
Do not be quiet in this moment.

I could not agree more.
it is not civil when an evil person says evil things in a calm tone of voice.
conversely, it is not uncivil when a good person uses curse words to denounce evil things at the top of their voice.
it is evil to pretend not to understand this.
