Hear me out, what if we just all started calling him Jonald T Dump, super matter-of-fact-ly, every single time we discussed him, from now until his presidency ends? Wouldn't that be so funny? 😆 (See alt text for example.)

Never forget this: The forces rigging our economy, undermining our democracy, polluting our planet, and stoking hatred are counting on you to give up. Cynicism is how they win. Stay clear-eyed and ready for the fight ahead.

I got this excellent image of Jonald T Dump looking up at Zohran with an almost visible thought bubble of, "you are the Muslim son I wish could replace my versions of Uday and Qusay" from @50501movement.bsky.social

Billionaire companies are bankrolling Trump’s ballroom and it stinks of bribery.
That’s why @robertgarcia.house.gov and I introduced a bill to crack down on this potential corruption.

This all-male panel is deciding whether South Carolina women can be charged with murder for their pregnancies — and whether birth control and pro-choice websites stay legal.
This a real thing happening today. Don't look away.

God this is so utterly despicable. Trump is “he was no angel”- ing a journalist who was murdered and dismembered with a bone saw by agents of an authoritarian regime.
Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

If you have not come forward in a situation like this, it's almost impossible to explain how difficult it is to do so. These women are so inexpressibly brave. I thank them for their fathomless moral courage.

It’s kinda wild the President is openly corrupt, Nazi sympathizing, and very likely a pedophile—and most Republicans in Congress are still willing to ignore the Constitution whenever he asks.

"I am tired of losing and worse, I am tired of expecting to lose. We need Democrats who will use their positions of power not to constantly capitulate, compromise, and cave, but to fight-- not to say the word ‘fight’ because it’s the popular thing to do, but to actually do it and mean it."

Way off topic but Mamdani has under-eye dimples. I do, too. The significance of this is that we are now best friends on account of our shared unique facial feature.

hey, another round of applause for @lindseyboylan.bsky.social, who has taken very significant risks and flack for being the first to come forward with stories about what an abusive POS Cuomo is.

Maine, like RI, is a tiny town. I knew when the news broke I'd know a victim of the Lewiston shooting, having lived there for years, as a teacher in neighboring Lisbon. I was, heartbreakingly, correct. I hope this red flag law means we never have another Oct 25. ❤️🩹

I would like for national political reporters to place a moratorium on “But what will voters in the rest of America think about New York City’s socialist mayor?” We don’t care! Red states are notably full of psycho politicians yet rarely do you see pundits asking Brooklyn people about them.

My mom has been in & out of dr's/hospital all week w/ a bacterial & viral infection of a cold. As many of you know, she has dementia; I'm her primary caregiver, & she lives with me. So, we were there in spirit with all protesters, but couldn't attend. 🪧🫶🏻🗽 (Mum loathes Dump as much as I do!) #NoKings
Okay. New count: Approximately 15k. Largest protest in recent Rhode Island history, if not ever.
