Calling on anyone who's thinking of going to DC to protest at Trump's birthday party to go to a No Kings march instead. There are 1,800+ of them around the country. www.nokings.org
No Kings
On June 14—Flag Day—Donald Trump wants tanks in the street and a made-for-TV display of dominance for his birthday. A spectacle meant to look like strength. But real power isn’t staged in Washington. ...

1000 times yes.
I wish journalists would stop framing political news as wins or losses for politicians or political parties. It’s an abrogation of our mission. Why do we keep doing this? Is the spending bill a win or loss for the American people? Who does it help? Who does it hurt? Is it sound policy? Fiscally?

@schiff.senate.gov I hear you're voting yes on the GENIUS Act? What the hell, man? Consider this a desperate plea from a constituent to vote NO.

Thank you @chrislhayes.bsky.social! I am enraged about these deportations—and everything happening in our country—24/7, but had completely lost this very obvious point in the fucking mess of it all.
This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

Welcome to the resistance, @peoplemag.bsky.social
When People magazine is posting about your inside trading, you’ve truly crashed out.
People: “The Republican congresswoman bought tens of thousands of dollars in stock from various high-profile companies just before President Donald Trump announced a 90-day pause on his international tariffs and sent the market soaring.”

Yep @schumer.senate.gov @democrats.senate.gov are you listening? Can we finally get real about what's going on? Do you have the courage?
@schumer.senate.gov and @democrats.senate.gov - THIS is what your constituents want to see!

Come up with plans to put public attention on what Trump & Musk are doing.

TELL THE PUBLIC - because mainstream media won't!

If you won't fight, step aside for someone who will!

Hey @schumer.senate.gov you know those upcoming elections you’re trying to “protect” dems for? If you vote yes today, there may not be any more elections. Sobering thought, right?
March 14, 2025 at 6:02 PM
Thanks to Branden Williams of Agence France-Presse for taking the picture that sums up the state of our country right now waiting for @schumer.senate.gov and the rest of the dems to vote no ON EVERYTHING today.

I love New Yorkers! Thank you for fighting back against @schumer.senate.gov!!! And I, too, wish @aoc.bsky.social was your senator!!!
March 14, 2025 at 2:42 PM
100%. And I don't think @schumer.senate.gov and the other Senate Dems who are waffling understand that this administration could end election altogether. So there's no needle to thread here!!!!
I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable.

Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes.

Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.
March 14, 2025 at 3:01 AM
Signed. I am just apoplectic that @schumer.senate.gov is convincing dems to cave to this madness. Step the fuck off, Chuck.
March 14, 2025 at 2:51 AM
@schumer.senate.gov's phone system (at least in DC) doesn't even allow you to leave a message after "business hours" which makes no sense at all.
left another voicemail for schumer, sigh
March 13, 2025 at 11:40 PM
Hey @democrats.senate.gov: What do we have to do to get you to come together and convince @schumer.senate.gov and @fetterman.senate.gov and whoever else is now caving to GOP? It's heartbreaking. Has the Dem leadership not learned ANYTHING since 2016? This is a five-alarm fire. HELP US!!!!!!
March 13, 2025 at 11:23 PM
I cosign this. @schiff.senate.gov and @padilla.senate.gov, as my senators not only do I want you to vote no on cloture, I want you to take leadership in this fight since @schumer.senate.gov is failing us. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!
@schiff.senate.gov @padilla.senate.gov If Schumer votes for cloture and you do not immediately call for his resignation for betraying the ideals of the Democratic Party, I will not ever vote for either of you again, and will use every avenue in my power to make sure you are not re-elected.

After Bezos cozied up to the current administration, I went from getting all of my daily household/personal stuff from Amazon (probably 3 packages a week?) to zero. I thought it would be hard to break that sweet habit of hitting "buy now", but it's been so easy. Highly recommend.
February 19, 2025 at 12:08 AM
I have called all 3 of my congresspeople: @schiff.senate.gov @padilla.senate.gov and Lateefah Simon (who doesn't appear to be on Bluesky) and all voicemail boxes are full. What do I have to do to let them know I am in a constant state of panic about what's happening in our country?
February 3, 2025 at 6:56 PM
I don't know what to do. Our country is in free fall and I feel powerless to stop it, which, of course, I am. @schiff.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @democrats.org PLEASE HELP US! THIS ISN'T A FIRE DRILL. THIS IS THE FIRE AND IT'S WORSE THAN ANYONE COULD IMAGINE. What can we do as citizens?
February 3, 2025 at 3:13 PM
Can we please get the young people who ran Kamala's social campaign to hop in STAT and help Dems communicate more quickly and urgently and in the places people's eyeballs and ears actually are?

What would I do? Senate, House, DNC & Dem Govs EACH need to have a Rapid React WarRoom staffed 24/7/365. They need to have a rotating Senator, Rep, & Gov on call all times to post video, TikTok, statements & do interviews. Pressers are old, tired & mostly useless.

Welcome to 2025.

Does it seem like only @rollingstone.com is describing what's happening in our country as honestly and urgently as we need? Should I subscribe?
January 21, 2025 at 4:05 AM
@nytimes.com do you really believe it's debatable whether the COVID vaccines were saving lives? Why didn't you say "were in high demand and saving lives."?
January 17, 2025 at 11:56 PM
What the actual fuck is the @nytimes.com doing?!
