Just watched a great commercial during the Game 7 ALCS from the Government of Ontario Canada using President Reagan’s own words to take down MAGAt’s unnecessary and stupid tariff wars. Brilliant! I’ll post a link in the thread to the YouTube video. Go Leafs! #OhCanada

Proud Veteran @roghair.bsky.social · 1d

As a veteran with multiple combat tours, this “No Kings” poster touched my heart more than any of the other hundreds of great signs I saw this weekend

Love this lady so much for honoring her veteran and the cause he died for

Most profound sign I’ve seen this year. We must support and love our Gold Star Families. If there is any more important reason to Save Our Democracy, it’s this sign.

I agree: People need to wake up and get out there. This is real. The regime sees us and says, “who cares” or that we’re conducting “hate rallies.” No one can be on the sidelines or stay quiet or say, “I don’t do politics.” Silence is complicity.

7 million people strong - nationwide, including 350K in NYC, 100K in Boston, and 3,000 in my New England hometown of 30,000. Sweet!

Picked up this great card at our No Kings’ rally. “The U.S. Constitution grants all people rights. I am proud to be exercising mine.” (NoKings.org)

Every act of resistance counts. History tells us that. Every principled action of dissent, no matter how small or large, can and will make a difference.

Trust is a precious value that the MAGA cult knows nothing about. A soldier’s mission is to protect the public and its citizens, not police them. Thank you General Enyart for speaking common sense.

Talarico: if you read the new testament, Jesus doesn't spend most of his time preaching or teaching or even praying. He spends most of his time healing the sick.

Right now, we have politicians in congress with Christ follower in their Twitter bio, but they are kicking the sick off their health care

I absolutely adored Jane Goodall for reasons like this one. She was a supernova ✨ — a rare shining star among our species.

Jane Goodall: “You must vote for the person, the candidate who you feel has a better chance of promoting protection for our planet.”

He says he didn’t see “it.” “It” was the most powerful person on the planet talking to ALL the top generals. That’s dereliction of duty right there for the Speaker of the People’s House.

I call foul on the AP. The way out is the f-ing MAGAts ensuring health care and tax credits for the most vulnerable in our society and ensuring Congressional appropriations are not withdrawn from their dictator. Do not give in to tyrants.

…those emails of course don’t say that the Dems are fighting to protect Medicaid and tax credits for the most vulnerable…
