No one cares. Literally no one cares. Our democracy is being dismantled and Klobachar’s all “but cars and junk”.

Tina had the grace to bow out and allow for a fresh face with a fresh fight. I wonder what it will take for Klobuchar to take a hint?
I took a stand last year when F1 sought to exclude General Motors/Cadillac from the F1 championship series despite meeting all requirements.

I'm glad to see they reversed course to allow an all-American team to compete. This is a win for competition and American manufacturing!

What we have to realize is that DOGE is exhibiting corporate bro-culture behavior:

They hire a new idea, the new idea gets unfettered access to mess everything up which will lead to us cleaning up their mess while they sit back collect their money and stroke their ego’s.

It’s not new.

Yes. But they are missing that much of this has to be performative. That’s what Trump is great at and Dems are awful at.

You can’t just tell voters , you have to know how to sell voters.

Trump gives sales pitches, Dems show charts. One goes viral. The other is ignored and forgotten
This was the way.

As a chiefs fan…for many years (like pre-Mahomes) all I can say regarding last nights performance is: Karma is rough ain’t it?

But who’s surprised?

They’ve chosen karma’s favorite artist as their mascot and then proceeded to let Butker continue to open his mouth.

Hell yeah. Hold the line. This is what we need people to do.

Slow things down, don’t comply in advance so the courts have time to stop them. It’s starting to work.
Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

DISRUPTION. THANK YOU.
Democratic senators will hold the Senate floor all night long in opposition to the nomination of Russ Vought, an organizer of Project 2025, to head the OMB.

YES. PREACH. MORE PLEASE.
This is one of the best speeches ever given by Democrat Jasmine Crockett.🔥

“Some of all have been saying: Where are the Democrats? Where are the leaders? I'm here to tell you we ain't never left.”

Speech is broken into three parts due to video restrictions on this platform.

Please share.

Posting this again. My senator, Tina Smith, said that we (even here in Minnesota) need to pressure the republicans to act. I can think of no better way than to clog up their fax machines with a demand for action.
Another congress contact option is Resistbot. I've used it for years. I enjoy faxing my reps because I like the idea of an antiquated machine making a shrill sound when my thoughts and prayers arrive to their office. resist.bot

Is it too early to start demanding apologies from all of the people who voted for this?

God. He really did get just the standard douchebag white guy package didn’t he?

Congrats dummies! You elected a socialist…but not the free healthcare kind 👀👀

Amazing feat considering he wasn’t elected. Or even on the ballot. Or even could be if he wanted to be.

Elon really is the perfect example of the lengths a mediocre white man will go to stay out of jail.
Elon Musk is a terrible president.

But how though…actual question. No sarcasm. We actually want to know. What’s the plan? Do we the people need to call? Peacefully assemble? What’s the plan? And when will we see it in action?
FIRST: USAID

NEXT: Dept. of Education

THEN: Your Social Security benefits? Your health insurance? Your kids' health insurance?

Everything is on the table and Trump/Musk don't care who gets hurt.

We will not sit by while this happens. We will put up a fight.

WE ARE LOOKING FOR DISRUPTION.
Now we’re cooking!

Thank you for doing something, @schatz.bsky.social.

This just happened to a friend of mine. Candace Owens is not where you get your gossip ya’ll.

Jamie B. Golden is. 👇🏼
If you're sending folks Blake and Justin content from Candace Owens, then you may have found yourself on the alt-right pipeline freeway and you'll need to take the next exit.

Saturday morning “Escapism is mental health” check in:

Waiting for a similar statement from Minnesota @governorwalz.mn.gov

Our kids are worth it.
California DOE fires back against Trump's executive order:

"It does nothing"

"It is against federal law for the White House to dictate what educators can and cannot teach"

Will not comply.

I desperately need Target to not become an evil empire.

And the fact that they’re not present here on BlueSky isn’t promising.

Finally finished another book!

A solid historical fiction about the plague written by a former ICU nurse. 👏🏼👏🏼

Word of warning: if medical stuff is not your thing, this book ain’t for you.

Thank you, I’ll have plenty! I used to crochet a long time ago and just started knitting a few weeks ago.

It’s been a great way to stop doomscrolling and reflect 😌

I’ve finished a Sophie scarf and have started a sweater. (I’m waiting for more purple yarn & am casting on a new cardigan as I wait 🫣)

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.

Opportunities are everywhere.

Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

More please.
We fought back against this dangerous executive order, and we won. But the work to hold this Administration accountable isn’t finished.
