Kyiv: Under constant threat, a president refuses to flee—even as missiles hunt him.

Mar-a-Lago: A bitter old man rails online about drag queens, tariffs, and conspiracies—between golf rounds.

One risks everything for democracy. The other begs for attention.

History won’t mix them up.
That asshole in the White House will NEVER speak for me.

Smash that 💙 if you stand with President Zelensky.

Prove that y’all are willing to fight just as hard for our country as Zelensky has for his.
I want to be *so* confident in my elected officials, that I don’t for a second doubt that they would all gear up, and visit the front lines of a war if one found its way to our soil.
If you were in Congress, what would you do for the State of the Union? What do you think Dems should do?

NEW: A study of mint plants. A device to stop severe bleeding. Technology for treating concussions.

This is some of the scientific research that Ted Cruz calls “woke.”

Instead, simply release the audit. It’s straightforward—everything in the government is documented. If the evidence exists, let America see it. Rather than turning the Super Bowl into a political spectacle, release the audit and let Americans decide.

Open message to Elon Musk:

Rumors are swirling that you’re spending $40 million on Super Bowl ads targeting USAID. If there were truly fraud, wouldn’t you not need to spend millions trying to convince people?

Musk, Zuckerberg and Bezos are working with Trump for one very simple reason:

They understand that Trump's policies are designed to make the wealthiest Americans even richer.

These three men have become $232 billion richer since November.

Not bad in a couple of months time!

I hope that some day I will look at one of my Bluesky posts saying something like "The President wants to commit ethnic cleansing in Gaza to develop beachfront properties, while Doge is occupying the Treasury Department" and think "wtf was I talking about? What was I smoking to come up with this?"

In 1865, President Andrew Johnson issued blanket pardons to most Confederates, which opened the door for 100 years of Jim Crow.

In 2021, our justice system failed to hold Donald Trump and the complicit Republicans who committed an insurrection against our country. We'll pay for it for 100 years.

I oversaw global health programs at @USAID.

They reached 100s of millions of people, added 6 extra years to the lifespan of children in partner countries, and were eradicating health threats worldwide.

What insanity and cruelty to break that.

"Democrats need to think through ways to act collectively … precisely because this sort of collective, concerted action has the capacity to alert voters in a different kind of way."

Precisely. Dems got in harmony after some chaos — but they need a strategy to keep themselves there.
Trump's funding-freeze fiasco should demonstrate to Democrats that speaking loudly in unison is a pretty good way to set the media agenda and to alert voters that something is gravely amiss with his assaults on rule of law and constitutional governance:

Late last night, Trump fired the independent inspectors general of at least 12 major federal agencies.

Inspectors general are tasked with rooting out fraud, abuse, and corruption.

Trump wants loyalists in these positions — a key tenant of Project 2025.

Keep paying attention. wapo.st/3Cptwvg
Trump ousts at least 12 independent inspectors general in late-night purge
The dismissals appeared to violate federal law, which requires Congress to receive 30 days’ notice of any intent to fire a Senate-confirmed inspector general.

The Trump administration warned federal employees of “adverse consequences” for not reporting colleagues resisting orders to eliminate diversity, equity, and inclusion programs, giving a 10-day deadline to report via a special email account.

If your Christianity causes you to be offended by someone asking the most powerful person in the country to be merciful towards the powerless, then you have profoundly misunderstood the teachings of Jesus Christ.

Day 1, the Trump admin made it clear: censor info, block reproductive care. They scrubbed Reproductiverights. gov, erasing abortion resources. But activists have your back with legal support, health info, & access help. They want us in the dark—we’ve got floodlights. https://buff.ly/3Cfq0DO

This isn’t a “seems like” or “appears to be” event…
