Because San Diego knows that immigrants make our communities strong and we love our neighbors.

A group in San Diego is patrolling neighborhoods to identify potential ICE presence. They keep watch for vehicles that may belong to federal agencies, and use livestreams, radios, and social media to keep communities informed. boltsmag.org/how-vol...

So many people are going to die in so many preventable ways because American voters could let go of their petty bullshit.

Tuberculosis, the deadliest infectious disease on the planet, kills more than 1.25M people a year. New infections are expected to surge by 30% as a result of closing USAID, one memo obtained by @propublica.org says. Read the latest from @annamaria.bsky.social + Brett Murphy

Welp, the entire American medical industry is officially crashing out right now. Work for a company that makes an absolutely revolutionary treatment with tons of proven science and it’s like everything we’ve worked for on commercial coverage has fallen apart the last two weeks. We’re scrambling.

So proud of my state. Just imagine where we could be if we weren’t being sabotaged and held back by the rest of the country.

California just debunked a big myth about renewable energy. The state went a record 98 of 116 days providing up to 10 hours of electricity with renewables alone. grist.org/energy/calif... #CA #California #Energy #Renewables #Solar #Wind

The question I keep seeing on social is “what are the democrats doing? Why won’t they save us?” So I just want to highlight the fact that some members of the house are seeing thousands of people attend emergency town halls. The organizing is starting.

Thank God, LFG!

Ken Martin is officially the new Chair of the Democratic National Committee. If you don’t know him yet, you’re about to. Because this isn’t going to be politics as usual. I know Ken. I’ve worked with Ken. And I can tell you right now—this man is a fighter.

You know what… maybe Americans should coordinate a “buy Canadian” day in protest? Anyone know anyone with a bigger platform who could organize that? I don’t recognize many of these brands but I guess I’m going to enjoy some refreshing Canada Dry, schick razors and Toms of Maine deodorant this week.

George Takei@georgetakei.bsky.social

Support Canadian alternatives!

This is Trump’s fault. Don’t let him off the hook. This is impeachable imo but republicans are chickenshit ass hat fart gibbons so they won’t do anything.

Joaquin Castro@joaquincastrotx.bsky.social

Before yesterday's crash, President Trump: - Fired the heads of the TSA and the Coast Guard - Pushed out the head of the FAA — leaving no one in charge - Gutted a key aviation safety group - Pushed air traffic controllers to quit as he purges the government He's putting Americans in danger.

Here we go the fuck again. Ivanka clapping like a fucking seal - I’m glad you lost your pathetic business wear brand, you feckless twat.

That didn’t take long and they will keep trying.

Senator Patty Murray@murray.senate.gov

NOW: Senate Republicans are trying to pass a cruel bill that not only misrepresents the hard and painful choices women face during a nonviable pregnancy—but it would create a dangerous new national anti-abortion government mandate.

Trump doesn’t think he can get the best people by hiring Americans.

MeidasTouch@meidastouch.com

Trump on H-1B: HB1, I know the program very well. I use the program, maître d's, wine experts, even waiters, high quality waiters. You got to get the best people.

I remember I had a highschool civics teacher who said that this case was going to end democracy in 20 years and he was right.

In the 15 years since Citizens United was decided by conservative SCOTUS justices, billions of dollars have poured into our elections — putting a price tag on our democracy. But corporations are not people and money is not speech. We must end Citizens United.

I think this article nails the grief a lot of us have been feeling. We’re about to enter a period of decline, instability & suffering for seemingly no reason. It will be entirely self inflicted. I don’t know what the rest of my life is going to look like, but it’s not what I imagined 10 years ago.

The Bulwark@thebulwark.com

"The last half century has offered more opportunity for happiness for more people, at home and abroad, than ever before." And now, if we go the way we're going, it's in the rearview mirror.

So disappointing to see that our warnings that the plight of Palestinians refugees would swiftly worsen under a Trump admin are coming true so quickly but the information has been public for years and there’s really no excuse for anyone to have to find out here. Everyone should have known.

The Tennessee Holler @thetnholler.bsky.social

Trump’s UN nominee Elise Stefanik says she agrees with far right Israeli leaders that Israel has a “biblical” right to the entire West Bank.

Trump does not care about you. He wants you surviving just enough to keep working and then if you need medicine and can’t line someone’s pockets then he wants you to die.

Hey leftists, is this a satisfactory position on Gaza? What about taking $100 million from an Israeli-American billionaire who supports settlements and wants to annex the West Bank? Bc this looks like y’all got played to me:

The Tennessee Holler @thetnholler.bsky.social

Re: Gaza — Trump says “it’s not our war, it’s their war”, then calls it a “phenomenal location” clearly looking at it through a real estate lens. Related: His daughter’s husband just “doubled” his investment in an 🇮🇱 firm that will gain from settlements: www.msn.com/en-us/politi...

The democrats should be a big tent party BUT that does not mean that other third parties should not formalize, organize and mobilize so that they can gain leverage to negotiate their priorities with the democrats. I think that’s the way forward here. But then party members need to step in line.

We told you guys this was going to happen.

MeidasTouch@meidastouch.com

NEW: Trump now says he is not confident he can keep the ceasefire in Gaza, telling reporters it is "not our war." He says that Gaza "has to be rebuilt" and "some beautiful things" could be done with the land because it is "on the sea" and has "the best weather."

Y’all might want to check that you’re not suddenly following Trump and Vance on Facebook. I think I blocked Trump years ago but Vance popped up in my feed and sure enough I was following him. BLOCKED.
