Free States Forever 🇺🇸
@freestatesforever.bsky.social
Our movement is calling on Democratic governors across the country to unite and form protective compacts to defend our lives and liberty, resist the fascist regime, and build new programs and institutions to replace those Trump is destroying.

@kenmartin.bsky.social @democrats.org @demgovs.org Dem Govs must unite in protective compacts to defend our lives and liberty from the Trump Regime. They must pass legislation to stop ICE and refuse to cooperate with Trump's thugs. He is a illegitimate POTUS!

Come ride bikes with us in Minneapolis! And spend your money at our amazing local businesses.

In the meantime please keep donating to help us keep our neighbors housed/fed/in MN.

Lots of donation options here: standwithminnesota.com

Or this one for my neighbors: www.gofundme.com/f/support-mi...
If my followers have been inspired by the fierce resistance the Twin Cities has put up to ICE, you should make it a point to take a trip here (April through October 😬), enjoy the wonderful things MN has to offer and support our small businesses. It continues to be a really tough time for them.

I’m getting some fish tacos right now in Culver City, longtime home of America’s Favorite Quiz Show. So far it’s been pleasant and uneventful!
Wait one damn minute, I need to speak on this.

@kamlager-dove.house.gov read AG Pam Bondi the riot act over the DOJ scrubbing data on right wing extremists from the website.

Bondi’s response: “Her district includes Culver City and she’s not talking about… stopping crime in her district.”

Donald Trump is stripping critical public health funding with one goal in mind: harming states he doesn’t like.

It’s a slap in the face to Illinoisans.

We will not stand by idly as Trump illegally cancels the Congressionally-allocated funding we are owed.

I sued PJM for the first time in 2024 when they tried to jack up folks' electric bills — and we won, delivering an initial $18 billion in savings.

But we can't stop holding them accountable.

I’m demanding PJM extend the price cap to save consumers even more on their utility bills.

Following yesterday’s tragic shootings in Tumbler Ridge, B.C., I have asked that Canada’s flag atop the Peace Tower, and across all government buildings, be flown at half-mast for the next seven days as our nation mourns with the community.

California will not turn its back on women’s health.

While the Trump Administration cuts Planned Parenthood funding, California is stepping up with $90 million in emergency funding to protect reproductive care.

TY @governor.ca.gov and #CAleg for making this incredibly significant commitment.
California won't stand idly by while Trump and his lapdog Republicans use their "Big, Beautiful Bill" to virtually eliminate all federal Planned Parenthood funding.

I just signed legislation delivering $90 million to reproductive health care providers across our state.

It's one thing to get a "no true bill."

It's quite another to get *shut out* in the grand jury.

Trump owns this. If he hadn’t pardoned this pedophile, children wouldn’t have been abused.

These criminals are dangerous. They’re not just a threat to our democracy—they’re a threat to the safety of our communities.
