@peters.senate.gov VOTE NO. They cannot be trusted. They will continue to starve people and make healthcare unaffordable whether you compromise or not. Hold strong!

Tired of being lectured about bootstraps by men who made billions stealing wages frm their workers. Tired of being lectured about hard work by people spending tax dollars to go golfing & attend Gatsby parties. Tired of being lectured about avocado toast by people who fly private jets to restaurants.
Welp — @davidhogg.bsky.social to Scott Jennings: "People are tired of being lectured by men with Rolexes on CNN about affordability in this country. That’s why Zohran is resonating."

It should not be controversial to say that I am pro-human. I am pro-Earth. I oppose the forces that threaten human life and the survival of the planet. That should not be political.

Call, fax, email, and send letters to your representatives. All you have to say is “I support public funding for NPR and PBS” or “Do not cut funding to NPR and PBS”.
You don’t have to have a lot of words or reasons or be eloquent. Literally just say that.

Trump seeks Congressional approval to halt federal funds for NPR, PBS and other public media

Four R senators and four R House members could announce they're caucusing with the Dems for now, and will vote for Schumer for Majority Leader and Jeffries for Speaker, because the threat to the rule of law is dire. Meanwhile, they'll work with Democrats to construct guardrails against dictatorship.

Bone chilling.
A court ordered Kilmar Abrego Garcia to stay in the United States.
The Supreme Court ruled 9-0 that he was illegally removed. Trump is pretending he won the ruling 9-0.

Important thread. Stop trying to understand the tariffs. The point is WHY the tariffs.
Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive.
No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief.

Agreed. The law is not just for people we like and agree with. It is also for people whose views or lifestyles we despise. Because no matter who you are, someone despises you the same way - and the law must be there to protect you.
if you find yourself reluctant to support the guy at Columbia because you find some of the politics he espoused distasteful or even abhorrent, you should know that this is exactly the reaction that they hoped for in choosing him as a target for unlawful detention based on political speech.

@toddzwillich.bsky.social please clarify something you said on The 1A - American TEAMS are not getting booed by Canadians. The US Anthem and the government it currently stands for is getting booed.
The Canadian people understand that the American people don’t want this nonsense either.

Good morning.
The House voted yesterday to kick millions of off their health care, close rural hospitals, and shut down addiction clinics.
All in order to afford a giant tax cut for Elon Musk, Donald Trump and their billionaire and corporate friends.

Just … they’re no longer pretending to have integrity. We shouldn’t pretend they ever did.
Congressional Republicans tried to pull a fast one. They called off the budget vote that cuts healthcare for over 38 million children and just put it back up after everyone left to try and make some Democrats miss the vote. Many Dems are voting by card to keep the vote open. I just did mine.

PSA: if you’re still wearing perfume/cologne or deliberately scented personal products you are at best woefully inconsiderate.
Would you go around bashing people over the head with a baseball bat for personal vanity? No? But that’s how your scent is experienced by many fellow humans.
