Cranky aging lesbian jock who, somehow, has still retained her sense of humor, even in these dark days. Left of center forever. And love my dog❤️

AOC: “We have a future to plan for, we have a future to fight for, and we’re either gonna do that together or you’re going to be left behind… This is about: do you understand the assignment of fighting fascism right now, and the assignment is to come together across difference no matter what.”

Are we clear now a private businessman shouldn’t be in a position to control the space program—that this richest man in the world fueled by drugs, ego & hate shouldn’t be partnering with a malignant sociopath in the WH immunized by the SCOTUS & bent on pocketing billions & flouting the Constitution?

Wow: JD Vance is apparently skiing in Vermont this weekend and the locals aren’t having it. Thousands have lined the streets in protest.

Anyone know the numbers of people who observed the boycott yesterday and estimate of economic impact? I know it’s just a start, but have to start somewhere.

Jamie Raskin:

"Given that I was marching at age 3, you know I’m not letting any coup-plotting, election-denying, insurrection-supplying autocrat, kleptocracy, plutocrat or theocrat, or any techno-feudalist Silicon Valley broligarchs aspiring dictator, turn me around now.”

Amen!!

DOGE recommended firing workers at:

-FDA, which oversees Neuralink

-FAA, which oversees SpaceX

-USAID, which probed Starlink

-CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X.

"Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

This is the way…

“The elected officials in Washington have to stop protesting in Washington. They have to go back to their districts…show the consequences…show the school that isn’t operating…they have to make it real.”

With social media, word will spread to neighboring districts—even red ones.

This is so smart. @petebuttigieg.bsky.social , thoughts ?

And if you see this. A reminder. This is not Twitter. You can engage here and have thoughtful discussions !

We all look forward to reading your thoughts
I keep saying Dems need to do a daily briefing on Capitol Hill and fill the void, fact check the WH. Hire Pete Buttigeig and give him a staff to do this.

The DEI caused the plane crash narrative is a distraction. The tariffs are a distraction. Whatever insane nonsense Trump spews that the media will chase like cats chasing a laser light is a distraction. The only story that counts right now is the wholesale hijacking of control of the US government.

In 2023, our team created an interactive guide to rights the Supreme Court has established — and could take away.

Most rights are based in statute, but rights to same-sex marriage, search warrants and Miranda warnings are based on judicial rulings that the Supreme Court can overturn. ⤵️

Trump only had the support of 1/3 of eligible voters and it took Twitter enabled disinformation campaigns, Russian initiated bomb threats at polling places, massive voter suppression and legalized bribery with Citizens United to steal another election in a deeply rigged political system.
A third of us tried to save two thirds of us from themselves.

They’re about to find out.
