I’ve been away from @bsky.app for quite a while now. Any big happenings over here on the butterfly app?

If Native Americans aren’t citizens, then no one is. #BirthrightCitizenship

Justices Sotomayor and Kagan have betrayed the LGBTQIA+ community. They may not have been able to stop it, but their dissent would’ve been meaningful. This will cause irreparable harm to so many young people. #SupremeCourt #ConversionTherapy

The national guard has been activated in Minnesota. The Trump administration has called it an act of insurrection. Welcome to the 2nd American Civil War. It doesn’t get easier from here.

Walz: "What's happening in MN defies belief. News reports simply don't do justice to the level of chaos & disruption & trauma the federal govt is raining down... This long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement. Instead, it's a campaign of organized brutality against the people of MN"

What in the Gestapo is going on in Grand Rapids? Watch this activist get arrested *mid-interview* for speaking out against U.S. action in Venezuela.

Stephen Miller, who wants the U.S. to steal Greenland and shake down Latin America, says: ”We live in a world … that is governed by force, that is governed by power. These are the iron laws of the world since the beginning of time.” That‘s a criminal pretending that a civilized world is impossible.

I’m not sure how I missed this one, but it’s funny, isn’t it? The woman who went on national television and said that she didn’t anticipate the level of capitulation we’ve seen from the media and others to this administration is married to a man who is a partner at a law firm that’s capitulating…

I’m actually really tired of everyone’s obsession with the Epstein files. We know Trump is listed in them, we don’t need them to be released to know that. But what’s really bothering me is that everyone thinks this is going to be his downfall. It’s not. The impeachable offenses are countless.

The crazy thing is that our government only represents those who DO NOT pay taxes (billionaires, mega corps, etc.)

Hot take: Not only are work requirements for Medicaid bad, tying health care to work at all is cruel and we should be doing it less not more. Everyone deserves health care. Everyone.

He is not the “head of the government”. He’s the head of a fascist regime hellbent on taking down our government, and the American people along with it. He doesn’t care if we remain number one in anything other than wealth disparity.

Honestly though, fuck Melinda Gates. She and her husband, along with every other American billionaire, are complicit in practically every problem the world is facing today.

What is a nation supposed to do when its leader is publicly committing impeachable offenses on a daily basis and the impeachment process is utterly broken due to slightly more than half of the nation's Congress being members of a cult dedicated to destroying rule of law

So many videos are circulating of ICE agents acting with cruelty and aggression. Behavior that eerily mirrors the “domestic terrorism” they claim to oppose. No one is forcing them to act this way; it’s a choice.

And Clinton wasn’t exactly an example of a perfect human being. How far we’ve fallen…

Just had a debate with my aunt which highlighted for me the importance of this message: If you’re aren’t concerned about them coming for immigrants, and trans people, and gay people, and born citizens of minority descent, don’t be surprised when they come for you and you stand alone.

The winners of the Super Bowl hate him and didn’t want to visit the White House, so now he’s forcing the entire league to visit the Capital.

That’s the thing, the President isn’t supposed to be able to unilaterally do almost anything. There are distinct limits to what can be done by executive order, and Trump has crossed that line almost every day that he’s been in office. The fucker should have been behind bars months (years) ago.

And any sitting member of Congress or the Senate who is unwilling to impeach and remove said President is also betraying their oath of office to defend and uphold the constitution. They are unfit to hold their positions and should be removed as well.

If you told me the sole item on Trump's domestic policy agenda was to find every endangered animal in the United States and euthanize it, it would make as much sense to me as the current Trump domestic policy agenda, which seems to have no relationship whatsoever to anything any normal person wants

There is nothing that Trump or his administration could possibly do that will get me to bend the knee. I am not afraid. I am not backing down. I will never surrender to authoritarianism. He will die eventually, and I’ll know that I was on the right side of history all along.

You know what? Being anti-Trump is actually the most patriotic thing you can be. Fuck that fascist.

I'm old enough to remember when pro-life GOPers would accuse working class women of having babies just to get government money. Anyone remember that, or am I nuts?

A better copy!

Do you know how catastrophically awful you have to be for Amazon to have the moral high ground?!?!??

THIS is what all of our Democratic politicians should be saying. Loudly. Unequivocally. It’s time to castigate the fucker.

Amazing how so on point Andor is.

The people support Palestine. The people want Trump removed. The people want universal healthcare. The people want an end to the billionaire class. The people want living wages. The people want to stop mass deportations. The people want safety, security, and the freedom to pursue happiness

If he cannot carry out his agenda without breaking our laws, violating our Constitution, ignoring the judiciary, alienating our allies and crashing the economy… It’s a criminal agenda.

It never ceases to amaze me that he has more than a 0% approval rating… We are truly living in the dumbest timeline imaginable.

As David Brooks has said, we’re approaching civil disobedience and national strikes phase of defending our nation.

Even if you (wrongly) believe that some immigrants lack due process rights, what’s to stop the government from claiming that *you* are an undocumented immigrant; removing you to El Salvador; citing an “administrative error”; and refusing to do anything to bring you back? The answer is due process.

We are way past impeachment time

If the U.S. government is going to take the position that, once removed from the United States, folks can’t be brought back, then it sure seems to me that federal courts should be reflexively and categorically barring *all* removals until they’re 100 percent certain that the removals are lawful.

@bsky.app Can we get some form of analytics? I’d like to know how many people I’m reaching, and like count/reposts aren’t cutting it. Please and thank you ☺️

It’s kinda hilarious honestly. His supposed goal in all of this tariff chaos is to make American companies bring manufacturing back to the U.S., but nobody outside of the U.S. will buy anything produced here if (1) it costs significantly more due to tariffs and (2) Trump is still President 🤷🏼‍♂️

The only person in a “negative productivity job in government” is Elon Musk himself. I agree, he should go work in manufacturing. He would certainly be contributing more to society in that case.

Called my congressman who voted for the SAVE act. Me: What documents will I need to vote if this passes? Staffer: a DL and birth certificate. Me: The documents don’t match Staffer: Then a marriage certificate. Me: Will my husband need the marriage certificate too? Staffer: No Me: See the problem?

Good call.

If you think this can’t happen, remember that of the 125,000 Japanese Americans who were interned during WWII for years without charge or trial, two-thirds were U.S. citizens. Including me.
