Hey, get in line behind *millions* of people, including Native Americans driven from their land and slaughtered, kidnapped Africans who were enslaved and lynched, women treated like property, LGBTQ people demeaned and treated like they didn’t matter, you crybaby, self-indulgent loser.

Unearthed reports reveal that RFK Jr. fired every full-time CDC cruise ship sanitation inspector ahead of the Hantavirus cruise ship outbreak. www.cbsnews.com/news/cdc-cru...

U.S. Rep. Brandon Gill is having a viral moment for asking a witness her "favorite type of abortion." I have an answer for him

NEWS: While Hakeem Jeffries has announced he's opposing the DHS/ICE funding bill tomorrow, his team is not whipping the vote. Several frontliners are expected to vote yes. There's a difference in leadership between personal vote decisions & unifying the caucus. From me: prospect.org/2026/01/21/j...

Mamdani: "I am in support of abolishing ICE. What we see is an entity that has no interest in fulfilling its stated reason to exist. We're seeing a government agency that is supposed to be enforcing some kind of immigration law, but instead what it's doing is terrorizing people."

It is important to acknowledge who is standing up and who is just trying to get by. Every day Americans are standing up while the powerful are mostly standing by. Why aren't law firms standing up and sending lawyers to Minneapolis. Why aren't the corporations speaking out? Why isn't the media?

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts. Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

This is one of the biggest challenges of the modern information environment: learning to distinguish between bad faith criticism designed to destroy things and good faith criticism meant to make things better.

One of the most underrated stories over the last 5 years is the Dems who have been corrupted by crypto money (growing every day as crypto pours money into primaries) causing a big split within the Dem caucus

RFK Jr. is to RFK what Four Seasons Total Landscaping is to Four Seasons Hotel

When American citizens have to worry about returning to their own country from travel abroad, you ain’t living in a free republic.

Bill Maher is a white supremacist who couldn’t care less about Trump’s stormtroopers rounding up innocent people and sending them to get tortured. He’s a willfully stupid misogynistic anti-vax clown who hates trans people and is a vile bigot. AND he’s a hack. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Big announcement tomorrow from me and Cori Bush!

He’s threatening media companies who are critical of him. He’s talking about sending Americans to foreign prisons. He’s signing executive orders to investigate former staff members who spoke out against him. He’s defying the Supreme Court. Don’t you see what’s happening here?

12 Dem Senators and 48 Dem House members voted for the Laken Riley Act—allowing US Govt to deport immigrants on the mere accusation of a crime. As you see those 60 Dems complain about Mahmoud Khalil, Rumeysa Ozturk, or Kilmar Abrego Garcia, among many more—please know they enabled this fascism.

pretty crazy watching the american president on live tv in the oval office planning the construction of concentration camps in a foreign country to house americans

Imagine if there were 36,000 people in North Carolina with speeches by @jeffjacksonnc.bsky.social and @joshsteinnc.bsky.social and @abreezeclayton.bsky.social and of course @sanders.senate.gov and @aoc.bsky.social Can we make enough noise that this happens? 2/2

Calm down, folks, it was just an attempted assassination of a Jewish Democratic governor and his family on the first night of Passover, it’s not like somebody spray painted a dick on a Cybertruck.

Friendly reminder that Republicans in Congress could take away Trump’s tariff power and stop the economy from crashing at any point

Senator Jim Banks (R) isn’t sorry he told a fired federal worker “he probably deserved it”. He went on to say the worker was “complaining about losing a left-wing woke job in the federal government that should have never been a job to begin with”. The job was helping people with disabilities.

This about sums up the maga base right now.

It was never (just) about illegal immigration for MAGA...

Right-wing campus activists get subsidized by media organizations backed by Republican think tanks. Left-wing campus activists get arrested, doxxed, and deported.

I know this has all been hashed out a thousand times but sometimes it just really hits me that the major project of the establishment for the past 15 years has been to ridicule, stigmatize and denounce people who work to identify and counter bigotry

“…the liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerated the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than the democratic state itself. That in its essence is fascism: ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or any controlling private power.” - FDR, 1938

Immigrants, trans people, palestinian rights activists, eventually it’s going to be your turn when the regime decides you are an enemy

Sending an email to employees asking them to list five things they did that week is a classic move from a manager who has no idea how to manage

3 GOP justices on North Carolina Supreme Court express full support for overturning victory of Democrat Allison Riggs. This remains 5 alarm fire for democracy & should be getting far more national attention. It’s Trump 2020 playbook, but could actually succeed www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Dr Phil can go f##k himself

Tonight's @runforsomething.bsky.social call for people thinking about running just started - I see intros from dozens of states; parents, mutual aid volunteers, local leaders, just scores of people ready to consider running for office, showing bravery when so many show cowardice.

Trump returns to the White House in four days—and he’ll violate the oath of office on Day One. Democrats must be ready for a fight. I’m running for DNC Chair to do what we did in Wisconsin—supercharge our party’s organizing, communication, and fundraising nationwide.

As Democrats, this is a time to fight—bolder and stronger than ever before. Let’s supercharge our party with 57 state strategies—where we organize and communicate everywhere. Chip in to power our campaign for DNC chair.

Misinformation isn't random - it's strategic. 🧵 In the first cross-national comparative study, we examine 32M tweets from politicians. We find that misinformation is not a general condition: it is driven by populist radical right parties. with @julianachueri.bsky.social doi.org/10.1177/1940...
