Military spouse, animal rights advocate, bookworm. Equal rights for others doesn’t = less rights for you. It’s not pie.

Chicago “No Kings” protest was over 2 miles long. Pritzker got a huge ovation when he addressed the crowd. Chicagoans do not take kindly to the National Guard and ICE invasion. Trump and the GOP should be very scared. #NoKings #ProudBlue#Voices4Victory #OneV1

An entire segment of our society is run on the idea that human beings are completely disposable, that numbers are all that count, and that you don't even need to understand the stories or constraints behind the human.

Disgusting to see yet another campus athletic worker treated as nothing more than a disposable body after enduring serious injury in service to a putative institution of pedagogy and development. Every one in the Bradley University athletic department should be ashamed.

Republican Sen. Thom Tillis on the Senate floor on the budget bill: "What do I tell 663,000 people [in North Carolina] in two years or three years when President Trump breaks his promise by pushing them off of Medicaid because the funding is not there anymore, guys?"

My kingdom for a Democrat who runs on “You know how Medicaid stopped covering her nursing home last year and you went bankrupt trying to pay out of pocket? I’m going to punish the people who did that to you.”

The one thing we’ve learned is that cruelty is sexy and we should have promised to rain hell on Trump.

Scanlon: The Gulf of Mexico was so named over 500 years ago. If we want to update that name to reflect our current culture, maybe we should call it the Sea of Emoluments—you know, the place where we can board the Ship of Fools and navigate from a State of Ignorance to the Confederacy of Dunces…

NEW: The Acting Director of the Immigration Courts issues a new memo purporting to authorize immigration judges to deny asylum applications without ever having a hearing. It's not clear that she has legal authority to do this; as Director, she isn't permitted to set precedent.

After massive public backlash, the Social Security Administration is rolling back its disastrous cuts to phone services. This is a huge victory for the public against DOGE's rampage. Keep up the fight.

My family got these payments when my dad died at 34 years old after serving in the Navy for a decade from what he had paid in. I was five. Jeanine is an incurious ignoramus. Thanks @jessicatarlov.bsky.social for correcting her, which is God’s work.

Hard to believe the hill the Justice Department wants to die on, we don’t want to comply with your order so we aren’t going to. Nothing like engaging in explicitly lawless behavior they don’t even pretend to regret.

yeah man, please make my 85 year old great aunt prove her citizenship to vote in rural georgia, this definitely isn’t reminiscent of anything in the american past

Congressman Jared Golden@golden.house.gov

🧵 There are a lot of misleading claims out there about the SAVE Act. Let me set the record straight: I voted for the SAVE Act for the simple reason that American elections are for Americans. Requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote is common sense.

Casar: At the end of the day, this is about taking your hard-earned money and giving it to themselves—or funneling it to their friends. That’s all this is about.

Raskin: If they can just sweep someone off the street, put them on an airplane, and send them to a torturer’s prison in an authoritarian state like El Salvador without due process… then they could do it to anybody.

Not a single word to help the 33m small businesses in this country. Not from anyone in the administration. So many buy from China, and don't have alternatives. So many didn't have the cash to front run the tariffs and buy inventory

“Trumps policy implies they could deport & incarcerate any person, INCLUDING U. S. citizens, without legal consequence, so long as it does so before a court can intervene”. Meanwhile Bondi put the DOJ atty on leave, for confirming they mistakenly deported him. Lawless. apnews.com/article/supr...

This Paul Weiss capitulation is the most disgraceful action by a major law firm in my lifetime, so appalling that I couldn’t believe it at first. Any lawyers at that firm—partners or associates—who don’t promptly resign will defile their moral and professional reputations beyond repair.

Rep. Kelly Morrison: "This is not what people voted for. Trump has done nothing to lower the costs for everyday Americans. All he is doing is destroying things. He's dismantling our social safety net. He's dismantling education ... the American people don't want it."

This is more important than you realize. Bluesky doesn’t downgrade links. Which means news sites will get more traffic from here than other sites. Which gives them economic reasons to post here first.

AOC: What they like to call as radical, I believe is common sense. I believe that when a person gets sick, they shouldn’t go bankrupt in the wealthiest country in the history of the world. Common sense I believe that a minimum wage should cover the minimum cost to live. Common sense...

Dropkick Murphys’ lead singer, Ken Casey: Dropkick Murphys has always been about standing with your friends, your family, and the things you believe in. Trump is the exact opposite of everything we sing about. He’s turned on America’s friends and allies—he’s a rat and a coward.
