About 1/6 of the total population of Serbia protested government malfeasance today. In the US that would be more than fifty million people.

Thank you, Senator. We need more democrats to stand up for our democracy.
I'm a hard NO on the Republican spending bill. On cloture. On all of it.
When a wannabe dictator is trying to seize power, it must not be given to him.
Not without a fight.

I have seen almost nothing assessing the scale of the impact of the wrecking of the USPS, if it goes through. But it would mess with voting by mail, prescriptions by mail, so many small and large businesses, how a lot of daily life now runs. Good for the NALC workers.
The National Association of Letter Carriers is rallying in DC against the dismantling + privatization of the U.S. Postal Service
NALC President Brian Renfroe calls the potential “illegal” takeover of the USPS “a direct attack” on 640K postal workers + every American who relies on its deliveries

Vance now joining Musk in calling for the return of racist DOGE/Treasury employee Marko Elez. Vance also joins Musk in directing harassment at the reporter who broke the story. No one denies any facts in the reporting, they're just trying to intimidate the press out of doing any critical reporting

“Amidst the gloom, there is another story to tell about local journalism — a tale of growth, experimentation and new platforms that emphasize hyperlocal reporting.” People power and community action are what we need right now, and this is a good example.
This. This is what overthrew the elite enslavers in the 1859s and the robber barons in the 1890s. We need these new papers everywhere.
