Things Democratic Senators could do that would be useful:

- Withdraw unanimous consent from all Senate business until constitutional rule was restored

- Refuse to vote for any legislation until constitutional rule was restored

- Boycott as a caucus until constitutional rule was restored

I've been thinking a lot about fear—how it isolates us and how we break through it.
Read my reflection on how we are moving from fear to determination and building a better nation.

Looking for something you can do to make this chaotic world a little better? @crytzerfry.bsky.social is trying to save a natural area in Arizona from being mined and needs help with letters! It's an area filled with fascinating wildlife that Melissa captures and documents with her trail cams.
Let's flood BLM with comments to save these critters in the public Galiuro Mountains, threatened by #copper mining (no matter your state).

Help me, please! Repost, share on socials, write a letter by April 14.

Pierre Poilievre consistently refuses to engage with national media. He ignores independent press questions, raising serious concerns about transparency and accountability. A leader who avoids scrutiny cannot be trusted to uphold the democratic values Canadians deserve in a PM.

I hope polls are right & Poilievre loses his seat, and the CPC pivots back toward the centre.

But I fear an even more radical replacement, someone promoted by the US to destabilize our country.

We WILL need to fight information warfare like 🇫🇮 does.

One place to start is to stop calling it ‘disinformation’.

It is information warfare.

Authoritarian nations are weaponizing information & social media to destabilize democracies and radicalize segments of the population.

We are being attacked by an enemy - not neutral ‘disinformation’.

Remember when Kamala’s polls looked great, she had bigger crowds and everyone said Trump would lose?

Yeah, me too.

That’s why I’m speaking with family, friends and neighbours.

Please do the same - ignore the noise.

This the most important election of our lifetime.

Oh my fucking god.

It looks like Israel murdered eight Palestine Red Crescent Society workers, a UN employee, and five civil defense staff.

They crushed up and buried entire ambulances and civil defense vehicles in the fucking mass grave.

Despite his steady refusal to object to unanimous consent and his continuous confirmation of Trump appointees, Democrats were so desperate for leadership in early 2025 they even temporarily rallied behind a performative Cory Booker act hours before the end-of-quarter Q1 fundraising deadline

This need to be blown up. The man was escaping the Salvadoran gangs and they threw him into a prison full of them. It's a Kafkaesque nightmare.

They can get him back if they want to.
