Start calling it what it is: A #Countermander. Reframe it. Change the image to give it contrast. "It is countering Republican attacks on fair districting"

On Yom HaShoah, we remember the six million Jews and millions of others massacred by the Nazis. May the memories of the perished be a blessing and constant spur to us as the world organizes to fight resurgent fascism, antisemitism and hate.

“You’re far more charitable than I am. I think the dude is coo coo for coco puffs! “ Yes, @hcrichardson.bsky.social you’re absolutely right! He is not mentally ok. And since he’s not ok and the GOP is letting him “steer the ship”, what does this say about them? Thank you HCR! #MEPolitics #NoKings

ICE detention deaths are now occurring at a rate of roughly one every four days. Three weeks ago that rate was one every six days. The pace is accelerating, and Congress has not launched a single investigation.

Gotta say, as a survivor, I’m not super loving this thing where the Department of Justice is running a cover-up of evidence the President sexually abused minors.

You don’t need to be a Democrat to know this is wrong — you just need a conscience. If you can hear what these people survived in ICE custody and feel no outrage, then we are not standing on the same side of right and wrong.

Let’s be clear: Republicans are 💯 responsible for the government shutdown. They don’t need a single vote from Democrats to reopen. Republicans are 💯 responsible for firing thousands of federal workers. They don’t need a single layoff to offset the shutdown. It’s their Project 2025 playbook. (1/3)
