Ever since Trump’s occupation of Minneapolis began, what has buoyed me is seeing how many people are standing up and fighting for their friends, neighbors, and community members.

Minnesota, don’t give up. We’re standing with you.

Right after Trump took away health care from working families and food from hungry kids, he’s building a lavish playground for his billionaire friends in the White House.

This guy never gave a damn about you.

Trump promised us a booming economy.

His own job numbers, the weakest since COVID, say otherwise.

Thanks to Trump, we have higher costs, a job-killing trade war, and a billionaire-first budget wreaking havoc on the middle class.

Rep. @maxwellfrost.bsky.social joined Florida Democrats for an unannounced visit to ‘Alligator Alcatraz,’ Trump’s newest cruel political stunt.

Watch him describe the horrifying conditions he found there.

Rep. @mikiesherrill.bsky.social: “I am going to take on systems that don't work or only serve special interests in the only way I know how: by running to be your next governor."

In Chair @kenmartin.bsky.social’s first 100 days, the DNC has:

Democrats are not going to let Republicans run and hide from their constituents

Trump voter: It's been awful. I'm sorry. I had to get an oil change and it cost me $10 more. I voted for Trump for the grocery store prices to come down. Nothing's come down. They're talking about your cell phones, your cars, and everything is just going higher

Did Trump help insiders cash in on his tariff flip-flopping? YouTube video by Senator Elizabeth Warren

I'm calling for an investigation into whether President Trump manipulated the market to benefit his Wall Street donors—all while working people and small businesses paid the price.

Did Trump help insiders cash in on his tariff flip-flopping? It sure looks like corruption.

President Trump finally realized what the world has known for more than a week: his $4,000 per family tariff taxes are a disaster. Make no mistake: he has simply put this on “pause” for just 90 days so the chaos and confusion will continue with real consequences for our economy.

Everything Donald Trump touches turns to shit. He’s the reverse King Midas.

imo people should migrate back to twitter. it’s even more batshit with huge lefty/dem accounts and influencers leaving for here. and those rw accounts are getting in front of media, escaping fact-checking because of less capacity. it’s not a fair fight but leaving the field was the worse option

Math, my old nemesis, has found me again.

Someone needs to scoop the Gaetz ethics report and break it on Bluesky pls

strong potential for a reboot of The Office but at Twitter

Famously a great film to take your mind off things

And it’s worth being there to fact check. It’s not an unswayable audience even if the infrastructure is bad. Same with Fox. Same with Rogan. Same with Theo Von, etc etc.

I think, like it or not, and despite all of its awful and continued erosion, we shouldn’t leave because it still drives conversation and there’s a large mixed audience there.

It feels like a subset of the conversation the party had on whether or not to go on Fox News or engage with Rogan.

People shouldn’t abandon Twitter as nice as BlueSky seems, imo 👋
