By a show of thumbs, who else is suffering under these spiraling increases to everyday costs of living: higher utility costs, increased insurance fees, higher rents, higher repair and maintenance costs for transportation, higher grocery bills, higher subscription fees, higher clothing costs, etc?

The 5th Judicial Court just shot down Louisiana’s attempt to gerrymander voting maps citing it violates the Voting Act. This sets precedent and is immediately binding in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas

Every time you see someone powerful acting like a craven coward in the face of this authoritarian menace, let it stiffen your own spine. We are all we've got.

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024.

You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right?

Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year.

You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.
Tesla Paid Zero Federal Income Tax in 2024, Despite $2.3 Billion in Income
This brings Tesla’s average tax rate over the past three years to 0.4 percent.

"If there is even the slightest possibility of a second fascist era, we need to redouble our efforts to stop it. The first fascist era killed tens of millions of people in a world war, six million people in a genocide… that's not nothing, that's not a minor detail of history."

He did have access, naysayers
Journalist and political analyst @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com discussed this "read-only" claim a day or two ago. It was positively silly, so much so that the administration had to reach down the org chart to find somebody that they could order to issue the public "DOGE has read-only access" claim.
wired.com WIRED @wired.com · Feb 6
SCOOP: The US Treasury claimed a DOGE's Marco Elez didn’t have ‘write access,’ when he actually did. Sources tell WIRED that his ability to alter code controlling trillions in federal spending was rescinded, days after officials said it didn't exist.

It might feel like there’s nothing you can do, to save American democracy, but there is. Learn more about relevant history. Share interesting things with your friends.

Part of how we got here is down to Americans not appreciating history. The more we learn, the better our chances.
Here’s a thread breaking down the Reichstag Fire and its aftermath in a way that’s engaging for BlueSky. #History #LearnFrom

You owe an apology to every child who has to spend their formative years in an America defined by:
fear of the other,
an epidemic of cruelty,
a poverty of decency,
a deadly allergy to facts,
a Christianity of coercion,
a defiant resistance to diversity.

Senator Chris Murphy:

"This isn't complicated to understand.

Elon Musk's Starlink was denied a license in South Africa and so he's been on a revenge campaign to get them to reverse their decision.

Our foreign policy is now just billionaire business tactics. What a heartbreaking corruption."

Help our protestors, call your State's politicians, Congressional Switchboard (202) 224-3121 & complain about what Trump & Musk are doing to our Gov.! Talking points below, provided by one of our Bluesky members!

Our politicians are saying they are receiving our complaints!

We can’t sit around and just wait, this is beyond outrageous. This is a threat to our republic on every possible level from civil liberties to needed social programs. We must unify, we must repel this full scale attack on our democracy
