Senator Murphy, Wild is not the adjective I would use to describe a situation where people are being hurt every day by this Administration's refusal to negotiate. I would use a different adjective altogether.

Chris Murphy @chrismurphyct.bsky.social · 2d

I'm sorry but it's just wild we are in the middle of a government shutdown and the House Republicans are REFUSING TO SHOW UP FOR WORK so they can protect billionaire pedophiles and billionaire tax breaks.

This is unbelievable. And there's a good reason for this. They need to at least try to get the lies together.

A friendly reminder for a very important date coming up.

Don't forget to mark your calendars and tell your friends.

I could not agree more. But I worry about the people who still believe his nonsense. It's so dangerous for all of us.

Joan @danieo9.bsky.social · 2d

This is absolutely and totally untrue. Every. Single. Word.
It's ridiculous. Please don't believe this nonsense.

Portland is fine or it was before he occupied it with lawless, violent thugs.

Trump: "I don't know what could be worse than Portland. You don't even have stores anymore. They don't even put glass up. They put plywood on their windows."

I hope they can do exactly the same thing with Lisa Murkowski.

Oh, the American people are well aware of what this man has done to us over 8 short months. Celebrate alone. We're not interested.

They continue to collect their paychecks while doing NOTHING to earn them. This is where your tax dollars are going.

If you're not OK with this, plan to attend the No Kings protest on October 18th.

Do your best to stay in the loop. There's a lot going on that we all need to be aware of these days.

Joyce White Vance @joycewhitevance.bsky.social · 3d

This administration is flooding the zone so furiously that people have largely lost track of the lethal attacks on boats in the Caribbean, the gov’t shutdown, the economy, failed release of the Epstein files & so much else. It’s a tactic of would-be strongmen.

Why is it that his base of voters didn't believe him when he said he would do these things, but others did believe it? Why are we so different? I knew he was going to do these things. Didn't you?

Raider @iwillnotbesilenced.bsky.social · 4d

It begs the question "why don't the Democrats have more meltdowns?" We should all be melting down over this. It is NOT an overreaction. We KNOW that they are not there to "protect" cities. If these cities need protection, it is protection from their armed, lawless, violent thugs and goons.

Joe Walsh @walshfreedom.bsky.social · 4d

This is so not normal. And so not right. And so unconstitutional. And if a Democratic president had the Governor of Illinois send IL national guard troops to Texas, @GregAbbott_TX would be having a meltdown.

Joan @danieo9.bsky.social · 4d

Absolutely!! And the more they punch, the harder we push back and the louder we get.

@debbie156 @debbie156.bsky.social · 4d

To my fellow resisters-
Take a page from anyone that has walked through the fire of adversity and use that to build strength. The more they punch us, the stronger we must get. Stay hopeful & resilient.
We will prevail.

Remember this? This is the 4th Amendment. So when ICE Agents are referred to as lawless thugs, it's because they are ignoring the 4th Amendment for starters.

The 4th Amendment is not a suggestion, it's the law.

This is absolutely true. They are also our friends and neighbors in many cases. We can't remain silent in the face of this horror and injustice. We cannot. We must DEMAND everyone be treated with dignity and respect, NOT dragged from our streets and shipped to hellholes. We cannot be silent!

Immigrants make up nearly 1 in 6 U.S. workers from doctors and engineers to farmworkers and caregivers.

They don’t “take” jobs, they keep America running.

In a democracy, this would never be tolerated. So what does that tell you about what is happening right now and what do you plan to do to help?

ACLU @aclu.org · 4d

NEW: We filed a brief in support of the Associated Press in their lawsuit against the Trump administration.

Media outlets shouldn't have to parrot the government's worldview — whether it's the name of the Gulf of Mexico or anything else — in order to access White House events.

Joan @danieo9.bsky.social · 4d

Please participate. We need everyone out there on the 18th. Mark you calendars and please don't forget. It's our only way out of this mess.

I think the answer is easily understandable. They are not Christians. Their religion is Donald Trump. That is who they serve. That's it.

It is definitely an all-hand-on-deck moment. But I'm terribly concerned about America's underreaction to all of it. They are losing support, yes, but they grab more power and become more lawless by the day.

We need all Americans to stand up right now and pushback against this insanity.

Please.

Wajahat Ali @wajali.bsky.social · 6d

Everything by Trump and Miller right now is weakness.

They know they've lost the majority and their policies are unpopular and they've F'd up the economy.

So, they'll use the military and threats and unleash their Reeks.

But, they don't have the numbers.

All hands on deck resistance.

Joan @danieo9.bsky.social · 6d

He's lying. He's always lying. This is just not true Full. Stop.

Acyn @acyn.bsky.social · 6d

Trump: Portland is burning to the ground—insurrectionists all over the place. The politicians are afraid for their lives. That’s the only reason they say there’s nothing happening.

Joan @danieo9.bsky.social · 6d

Their war on the truth now allows them to kill and maim people and get away with it.

America! How long will you let them get away with it?

STAND UP! SPEAK OUT NOW!!
