Yes, the name changed. The mission did too. From rallying Democrats to uniting all citizens. Still Good Trouble. Vive la révolution.

We’ve changed our name. Here’s why:

We started as DEMOcrats to push the party to stand up—to make good trouble.

But time and again, they gave away their power:
• Empty promises.
• Performative gestures.
• Blocking the next generation.

They’ve missed the mark. America is paying the price.

Today, I signed a series of bills that close gaps in maternal and prenatal care, improve health outcomes and access to child care resources, and protect vulnerable women.

Women in California deserve the services and resources they need to live full, self-determined lives.

Truth.

Texas is preparing emergency resources for wildfires and floods. The Texas National Guard should be THERE — not in Illinois.

We stand ready to support their return home so they are best positioned for helping Texans respond to any natural disasters.

Abbott activates emergency resources ahead of growing wildfire threat, flood risk in Texas

With expected growing wildfire danger across Texas and the potential for a flood risk this weekend, Gov. Greg Abbott is activating more state emergency response resources Friday.

Oh, and there’s this…

Which should make the actions on Friday night even more scary.

This administration seems to want to kill off the weak and the poor.

Friday appear to have been there latest step in that goal.

Yet, this is in the same week, they give $20B to another county.

So this interview lasted 2 hours so this “you’re scaring me” part might seem like an overreaction or fearmongering to someone without that context.

There’s a lot of evidence to support my hypothesis that a potential H5N1 pandemic would be worse than COVID.

And by his logic USAID preventing China from gaining soft power by saving starving children is not America First?

Oh yeah, it’s not. Because it doesn’t line their pockets with money.

Just like here.

Golden visa? We’ll let you in no matter who you are. Upstanding but poor immigrant? Disappeared.

It’s bean ICE knowing ya.

But was she orange, shutting down freedom of speech, and disappearing people?

If not, it seems we can all look beyond a suit to the person inside it.

Trouble for the admin is, Good Bunny knows the truth about Bad Bunny and his beliefs (and he stand with him).

So, what about girls with autism?

Cockade Brigade @cockadebrigade.bsky.social · 2d

Wow. One minute and 34 seconds and some of us are about to throw her out?

Not her finest moments for sure. But, we didn’t see the before; or the after.

How many of us, have a minute or more in our lifetime of behaving in a way that we don’t normally behave.

Oh, yeah, and Epstein.

Trump might have immunity, but ICE does not.

He won’t be able to protect federal agents from criminal and civil prosecution once he’s gone.

Their day of reckoning will come. Broken down here…

That’s because nothing is “his lane.”

True.

Unless it’s the middle of the night, and you realize that you don’t have a cat.

Many people felt the same way when they saw the actor who played Pennywise.

Just like him, it was all an act.

@chrismurphyct.bsky.social we all know he’s playing the same role he has all of his life.

A king.

The Russians support him.

Musk, Thiel, Miller and Republicans enable him.

This is more than Trump.
