Air-traffic controllers are calling out sick and I support them. No one should be forced to work without pay while the people responsible for the shutdown still get their checks. Shut down Congress instead. Shutdown the entire country! Remind Trump: WE keep this country running.... #GeneralStrike

Check out @grahamformaine.bsky.social. He looks like a fantastic choice for Mainers!

He’s on the move to meet with as many folks as he can. One day. Five hundred miles. Three town halls in small town Maine. Four hundred people.

He vows not to leave a person or place behind.

Government officials should never interfere with or influence artists’ music. Art is protected speech under the First Amendment. When power tries to control creativity, it’s no longer about culture—it’s about censorship, and that’s a dangerous path for any democracy. #Pinks

It’s not normal for a president to be involved in football halftime shows or any entertainment event. Politics should lead with policy and vision, not celebrity culture. When leaders blur that line, it distracts from governance and turns democracy into spectacle. #Pinks

"Oregon national guard serves 2 purposes. 1 to defend America and 2 to protect Oregonians. So by serving in this mission they would be protecting any protestors at the ice facility" is what Brigadier General Gronewold said, explaining what the deployment of the Oregon national guard would look like.

Wake up people, trump must be removed from office. A president calling for Gov Pritzker and others political opponents to be jailed should frighten everyone regardless of party. That is fascism.

Kristi Noem claims they are after the worst criminals…unhoused folks. They are moving on to the next groups marked for removal from society. First brown immigrants. Now unhoused citizens. Next, wasn’t it “antifa” aka resisters in his EO? #pinks #BlueResisters #proudblue #noICE #TrumpIsANazi

What if we got it wrong? What if the chase for the files is the bait… and while we stare at the hook, they tear the Constitution—page by page, in silence
We’re so busy waiting for the big reveal, we’re missing the slow burn of our own democracy.

Government Shutdown:
@schumer.senate.gov on 🔥

Thank you, and PLEASE STAY THE COURSE.

Now Americans need strong opposition leaders more than ever.

🙏Share.

Chuck Schumer @schumer.senate.gov · 17h

The government is shut down because Trump and the Republicans are hellbent on taking health care away from you.

And they won’t even come to the table to talk to us about it.

This is not about politics. It's about people.

Let’s break it down:
