Sen. Durbin does what Bluesky demands, and instead of praise/thanks he gets dunked on more. It’s the way of (this tiny corner) of the world.
But don’t forget: he invented the whole notion of Dreamers/DACA, and (I just found out!) is the person responsible for banning smoking in all public spaces.

Kilmar Garcia was mistakenly deported.
The WH mistakenly sent a demand letter to Harvard.
A US citizen was mistakenly arrested and held by ICE in Florida.

I won’t share RFK Jr.’s lies about autism.
It’s disgusting and dangerous.
If he had a shred of decency, he would apologize and resign.
Autistic people contribute every day to our nation’s greatness.
To every kid with autism, I’m in this fight all the way for you.

What if the fastest way to challenge human rights abuses in El Salvador’s mega prison isn’t politics—but your wallet? A strategic boycott of Salvadoran-made goods could hit hardest where it counts.

Why aren't reporters asking EVERY REPUPLICAN CONGRESSMAN, why they let 1 man destroy the US dollar, and make the DEFICIT so much more expensive?
Pausing tariff's won't cure the lack of trust. The entire financial market is based on TRUST.
We need to explain this to people like they're 5.

The richest man in the world spent more money than most of us will see in our lifetimes to lose a state Supreme Court race by 10 points.
And the fact his $25 million was a drop in the bucket compared to what he's spent on other elections is exactly why we must overturn Citizens United.
