If you think a just-fertilized ovary is entitled to life but are indifferent to what happens to a kidnapped 4-year-old with cancer, sent to a dangerous country without meds, you don’t give a fuck about the lives of children. You are just in a cult that fetishizes being against abortions.

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government. No one has heard from you in 43 days. As vigil, I’m posting a photo of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

Everyone’s gonna be wide awake at his funeral. If only because they’ll play Kool & The Gang’s “Celebration” at full volume.

this is precisely how twitter would have been in germany in the 1940s

The world is on Zelensky’s side. Zelensky applauded by world leaders upon entering church.

Booker: Do you think we got the right to vote for women because a bunch of men on the House floor got together and said “on the count of three, women get the right to vote..” That’s not how it happened… Change doesn’t come from Washington. It comes to Washington.

I think @amandalitman.bsky.social is correct here

If he cannot carry out his agenda without breaking our laws, violating our Constitution, ignoring the judiciary, alienating our allies and crashing the economy… It’s a criminal agenda.

Still growing in numbers! Way to go, everyone! Thank you to all involved keep making good trouble!

Warnock: I hear people attack poor people and act like it’s a crime to be poor, rather than to recognize it’s criminal for so many people to be poor. They do all of this in the name of Jesus… Jesus is the biggest victim of identity theft in the United States

Thanks to everyone joining the sit-in!

NEW: Crowd now growing at the Capitol where Cory Booker and Hakeem Jeffries are staging a sit-in on the steps. Is this building into something? If you’re in DC, they’re encouraging folk to come down there & support. #Resist (📸 Sen. Brian Schatz)

Why was Kristi Noem carrying $3,000 in her purse?

Good on Greyhound! #goodtrouble

We told the truth about who he is. It has nothing to do with any other Italian or person of Italian descent. He was a mass-murderer, thief, enslaver, torturer, and incompetent governor who was despised by his own men & fellow officers and died penniless after being imprisoned.

If you're in the DC area, make your way out to the Capitol steps! History in the making!

voters just want to be taken seriously and treated like adults

Call me old fashioned, but I think any president creating a meme coin hustle to recruit anonymous financial backers and rewarding the biggest spenders with “a night to remember” private dinner with the president kinda feels like an impeachable offense.

Sullivan: "When you see the car start careening toward the cliff, you've gotta say something. What I've seen in less than 100 days is terrible damage to America's credibility and trust with our allies & terrible damage to America's appeal... most of all what I've seen is China reaping the benefits."

We’re in a constitutional crisis, the markets are tanking, unemployment is on the rise, his tariff extortions are a disaster, a nasty recession looms on the horizon, and he’s polling lower than salmonella… …so naturally, he thinks it’s time to glam up Columbus Day.

Booker: This is a moral moment

This is Tom Homan. He is only 38 months older than me. This is what hatred and utter and complete lack of compassion will do to you.

If your vote threatens someone's right to exist, then yeah I judge you based on your vote.

President Zelenskyy: "It is absolutely obvious that Russia is actually trying to fool the world - fool America& others -prolong the war further. That's why pressure is necessary…Yesterday's meetings in Vatican and Rome confirmed that our partners understand what's going on."

Sunday inspiration… John Lewis never folded. Neither will we. They want our light out. Keep it blazing.

Many of you might know me as a former Secretary of Labor. Or from my TikToks. But my true passion is teaching. When I decided to retire, I wanted to do it quietly. Instead, my colleagues at Inequality Media Civic Action decided to make a film about my last class.  https://www.thelastclassfilm.com/

•••••••NOW••••••• A “moment of moral urgency” is upon us. History is happening NOW, on the steps of the U.S. Capitol. Sen. Cory Booker and Rep. Hakeem Jeffries have devoted this day to a live-streamed sit-in, featuring conversations with Americans focused on staunch opposition to the…

Look, all I know is that if Joe Biden had clearly fallen asleep at the state funeral for a pope, it would have dominated media coverage for days and been covered by political media as a scandal detrimental to the reputation of our country.

McBride: If we summon our hope then we will find the light and turn this moment into what a friend from Florida once called a slingshot moment.. where we are pulled backwards but the tension and pressure of being pulled backwards ultimately propels us to destinations that we have not yet been

Isn’t that the first thing you learn in Yale Law?

Sinners dropping just 6% in its second weekend merits a much bigger headline than its $48 million opening. It is actual box-office news--news as in "This never happens." Just a giant thing, for Ryan Coogler and for the future of original material.

Project 2025 thinks we’ll break. They drown us in cruelty and chaos to crush our hope. But we rise furious. We rise hurting. We rise anyway. We fight because we love. We fight because we must. We are the storm they fear. #MomSky

Hell of a 100 days for the Trump crime family

WATCH: “You’re saying you revere a time when their ancestors were in bondage.” In NC, @davidjoy.bsky.social powerfully explains why it’s wrong to remove a “compromise plaque” without public input, and why revering the confederacy is offensive. Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DI9vdzA...

NEW: Government officials insist that neither DOGE nor Musk have any real decision-making authority—they merely “advise” or “consult.” But internal DOJ emails provide the most compelling evidence yet that DOGE is not simply advising—it’s calling the shots. www.lawfaremedia.org/article/on-d...

Hey media. Cory Booker and Hakeem Jeffries are doing a sit in on U.S. Capitol steps. From social media I've that Chris Coons, Brian Schatz and Amy Klobuchar have joined them. Am sure there have been &d will be others. Do your damn job & cover this instead of bitching that Dems aren't speaking out.

Yesterday, ASU apparently, for a short time, changed their LGBTQ+ resource page to "LGB Students" This would match what Trump did to Stonewall National Monument. Thankfully sanity prevailed and someone changed it back. Do NOT erase trans people to please Trump! web.archive.org/web/20250424...

A recent group statement showed that U.S. academic leaders, at first reluctant to oppose President Trump’s moves to control higher education, are beginning to unite.

Thank you to everyone who shared their story today on the Capitol steps or online. This is how we will stop cuts to Medicaid, this is how we will stop Trump and congressional Republicans devastating agenda, this is how we will rise.

Not sure if anyone else has posted this yet, but this note is the sole "evidence" that the Trump admin submitted in court to argue that the mother agreed to take her 2-year-old U.S. citizen daughter with her to Honduras. She wasn't allowed to talk to a lawyer first. Seriously, it's just this note.

We must not stop speaking up. Hearing so many powerful voices–from American families to congressional leaders–has left me filled with hope for the fights and work ahead.

Anti-genocide US students held a protest against Yale University's reception of war criminal and fascist Israeli minister Itamar Ben-Gvir. The genocidaire has cut his visit to the US short due to the protests. #3E #EndImpunity Gvir endorses the full genocide of Palestine.

An anti-Hamas and anti-Israel protest in Gaza. Women and children are calling for an end to the war, Hamas rule, and Israeli crimes. Since the October 7 2023 Hamas terrorist attack more than 50,000 people have been killed by Israel's genocide campaign. Protestors: "Long live the women of Gaza" #3E

I'm so pleased with this pic I just received from @nneka.bsky.social of The (at that time) Fiancé and me when we threw a nice brunch the day before the wedding to introduce our families Empire State Building in the background, dress billowing in the wind and shit lol

Look, when he said 100 times he would end the war in 24 hours he meant he would give up on ending it in 100 days Why is this so confusing? It's just the simple math of how sociopaths lie to get elected

As a Timberwolves fan that was one of the best things I’ve seen in my life. Incredible scenes

And thank you to Leader Hakeem Jeffries for being an incredible partner in more than 12 hours of faith and strength. @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social
