I find it incomprehensible that so many Democratic politicians post on Twitter but NOT on Bluesky. I post on both platforms whenever possible, but I’ll post on Bluesky FIRST.

This is how you do it. Other news agencies like Axios and CBS, stop rolling over! Grow a spine, stand up straight and fight!

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.

No more Target. We need to bring these businesses to their knees. If we don’t then others will follow them and bend the knee to Trump
We’re still not shopping at Target.

Ok, so IRS got the 5 bullet points, justify your job, email. Our Union NTEU is saying to not respond at this point until National NTEU has a chance to assess the implications of responding.

Gov. Mills: I’ll comply with the state and federal laws
Trump: We are the federal law. You better do it because you’re not going to get any federal funds.
Gov Mills: See you in court

This. Wealthy folks like Elon don’t want the IRS auditing them. They’ll do anything they can to avoid paying their fair share in America. Even dismantling the IRS.
For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 1%, it can collect $13.
For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 0.1%, it can collect $26.
Laying off 7,000 IRS employees (during tax season) isn't about efficiency.
It's about making it easier for the rich to evade taxes.

I think we all knew that Trump was eventually going to screw over the Ukraine and hand it over to Putin on a silver platter for nothing in return.
The surprise for me is that he is also handing over Europe, and working with Putin and Xi to divvy up the rest of the planet

It took the Nazis one month, three weeks, two days, eight hours, and 40 minutes to dismantle a constitutional republic.

We have been careful to avoid using the word coup, but it’s time to call it what it is—this is a coup. Trump signed an executive order granting only the attorney general or the president the authority to interpret laws executed by the executive branch.

If you’re in favor of the US leaving NATO, you either don’t want the US to succeed, or you don’t know wtf NATO does.
Worth noting that Mike Lee voted to expand NATO in 2022.
