"The Democrats Need to Stop Asking Me for Five Dollars" poem by José Olivarez

Apropos of nothing, we still have a few of these @joseolivarez.bsky.social broadsides available.

Trumpism is bad, he doesn’t want to end foreign wars and he’s not gonna make things cheaper. Democrats, this is your moment to narrate what’s happening.

And legacy media.

I sincerely pray that the weight of your mediocrity and cowardice weighs on your ballsack every night heavier than lead.

They're firing black people from the federal government. That's it. There's no nuance to this. It's just racism straight up.

The Klan and ICE agents both wear masks. And they do so for the same reason.

fun fact three fighter jets is roughly equivalent to the NEA’s 2024 budget

That’s terror you’re feeling.

Fucking evil.

I’m over half a century old. I can guarantee that being “inconvenienced by strangers”(aka dominated by said stranger) has never once been okay. Please trust your gut on my “don’t-talk-to-me expression.”

This alarm has been ringing in my chest since the Jan 6 coup attempt. Capitalism kills.

to all of the Democratic senators who voted yes, on Bondi, how are you sleeping at night knowing that our government is kidnapping, torturing, and imprisoning innocent people?

In under 80 days.

Page 18. Buried like an obit.

The clearest interpretation yet of this nonsense windbagging.

Let's get loud 🐺

There are 33m companies in the USA. Only 21k employe 500 or more. And they only make up 23% of workers.

Trump and Elon are ignoring the more than 32m entrepreneurs that can't afford to build a new factory or pay tariffs or absorb cancelled contracts.

Mark my words and please understand: They erase your history so that they can erase your rights.

Sen. @corybooker has committed to filibustering the business of the Senate to bring attention to the lawlessness of the Trump Administration until he can no longer stand or speak.

The least we can do is keep him company for awhile.

Watching www.c-span.org/event/us-sen...

America: Where folks with power do nothing to bridle him because they’re *afraid of being yelled at* …while folks with zero power are afraid of not surviving.

Attacking knowledge, information, learning, science, libraries, schools: to keep people clueless and compliant.

Fight back: read, speak out, communicate, learn, and share with others.

In this interview Schumer is so delulu and out of touch and wrong. I vote in CA but if you’re a NY voter, I hope you alll can find someone to primary him. He is unfit for the moment as are many of his colleagues.

Buy and love this book as much as I do. ✨

Trump: "We brought back free speech in America. Free speech."

This is a flagrant lie. Today he told universities they would be punished if they allowed protests of or criticisms of Israel, a clear violation of the First Amendment.

38,000 workers didn’t die building the Panama Canal, and the 5,000 who did die were almost all Afro-Caribbean workers who toiled in segregated conditions under white American supervisors.

Who is U.S. Rep Al Green, who was removed from President Trump's address to Congress? U.S. Rep. Al Green of Texas was escorted out of President Trump's address to Congress on Tuesday after disrupting the speech.

Who is he? A real one.
