America is standing up. Let’s keep the momentum going—more protests are planned for next week. Together, we can stop this coup.
Remember, the resistance won’t be televised.
Tomorrow, there will be more of us!

True! Vivek Ramaswamy was appointed by President-elect Donald Trump to co-lead the newly formed Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), an advisory commission. This role is a presidential appointment, not an elected position, making Ramaswamy an unelected federal official.

My opinion about Hunter Biden's pardon is that Kash Patel and the other loons, thugs, and predators nominated to positions of power pose a serious threat to us all and almost everything else.

And where reputable journalists and thinkers go, so do elected officials.
I’ve been getting asked lately about a more serious + systemic migration to Bluesky among electeds.
Idk the answer but it highlights how much of a breaking point misinfo & throttling has become for Twitter(& other platforms)

Bluesky is winning because both twitter and threads have gone out of their way to make their platforms inhospitable to reputable journalists and news. @kattenbarge.bsky.social reports:

Journalists flock to Bluesky as X becomes increasingly 'toxic'
Journalists are finding more readers and less hate on Bluesky than on the platform they used to know as Twitter.

NEW: Porsha Ngumezi is the fifth case we've reported on in which a woman died after not receiving a D&C or its second-trimester equivalent in time, or at all.
Her case raises questions about how abortion bans are pressuring doctors to avoid standard care even in straightforward miscarriages.

Matt Gaetz as AG would be laughable if it weren’t so horrific and dangerous
The nomination is really Trump’s loyalty test of Senate Republicans: If they go along, there’s nothing they won’t agree to.
