@democrats.senate.gov So how do y'all think this is working out for us? Same premise as your continued vote to keep sending weapons to a genocidal regime & slander protestors, knowing full well that this dude is using that as justification to round all of us up?
The fact that @senatedemocrats.bsky.social voted to unaminously approve Marco Rubio is just embarrassing. Way to give up what little shreds of power you've left yourself with after years of fecklessness and corruption.

@padilla.senate.gov & @schiff.senate.gov are y'all just asleep at the wheel? Trying to save yourselves rather than doing your job, ie ANYTHING to reign exec power in?

Or did you just get used to enabling fascism by way of a combo of tacit support, inaction and silence on genocide?

This is what I’m talking about. Trump is purging the government and giving the keys to billionaires and the Dem Senate leader is wagging a stern finger at Trump like it means anything. Reckless failure.
When you’re in line at the supermarket next week and prices have gone up, you’ll know who to blame:

Donald Trump and his tariffs.

Yes, Project 2025 is here.

No, we do not need to sit helpless.

I analyze the key aspects of Project 2025 being implemented and offer action items on how to get involved to counter this fascist agenda. No paywall of course.

Now that it is tax season I remind everyone:

DO NOT USE TURBOTAX.

THEY WERE REMOVED FROM THE IRS FREE FILE SYSTEM AND ARE NOT BOUND TO THOSE RULES.

Instead, if you make $84k or less a year, use any of the IRS Free File options found here: www.irs.gov/filing/irs-f...

Here's the thing: There is nothing special about Stalin doctoring photos. That's what authoritarians do.

American media outlets are choosing to do the same despite there being no Stalin. Trump is not Stalin.

He may want to be, but you get to decide whether he does.

The reaction to Musk's Nazi salutes from mainstream outlets and world politicians, including the Germans, is clear evidence that neo-Nazism is already normalized.

We must all accept that as a fact now. We cannot prepare accordingly if we're still in denial of that fact.

Proof after 4 prior yrs of it that oligarchy is a bipartisan affair, no matter the hate it sows, and it's up to us to save ourselves.

The list of 12 warrants extreme scrutiny. Seems to have a substantial overlap with some of the most compromised by AIPAC. Warnock is a still a shock.
